The story of ticket swindling has been told
an hundred times, yet green horns will get
caught in the snare Last week California

intended to be passenger. He started from
Portland with SI25-the proceeds of three
years savings, off salary of $40 per month
He left his home on the day he arrived of age,
hnpseIr and Tor the Support oil Wruoweu
mother, whom he left in Maine. He was nab.
bed on his arrival in the Stoniugton boat by a
runner, who leeced him out of his money, and
he is now an applicant at the courts to recover
his lost treasure, while the steamer is on her
way to California.

Circ ums It antial Evidence.

Joe Brace was farmers son, in the
town of W, and by his tricks and games
and wild pranks caused his watchful "par
lent" no little trouble sometimes. 1t hap
pened, on one occasion that Master Joe
was caught in some misdemeanor, and as
punishment for the same, bad been COM
PEELED to hoe in the corn-6eld until such
time as said ''parient' should judge prop
er that he should be released. Joe, like
dutiful son, took his hoe, and straight.
way commenced sad havoc among the
weeds which obstructed the growth Of the
co'n.- eia.s. s:A.e oa-.~, aud passed by,
and still no one called poor Joe, who be-
gan to think tha. his punishment was
greater than he could bear but still he
toiled on, expecting every moment to hear
the summuns that would release him, for
time at least from his task. But there
was no such luck for him. The old man
was determined that he should "sweat it
OUT as he termed it, and stretching HIM
self on the lounge in the back room was
soon fast asleep. Joe labored faithfully
till near three o'clock, when hunger get
ting the better Of duty, he resolved to oh.
tain something to "stay his stomach at
all hazards. So, dropping his hoe he
steered cautiously for the house, and en-
tering the back door unobserved, succeed
ed in reaching the pantry without detec
tion--the old man being asleep and the
other portion of the household being en-
gagged with some company in the front
part of the house who had arrived few
moments before. On entering, he com
menced an attack on mince pie, that
had been set before the window to cool,
being just from the oven. When he had
about half demolished the pie, and was
thinking Of some means to escape detec-
ton, bis meditations were disturbed by
something coming in contact with his
limbs. On looking down, be saw the ia
yorite pussy, who had stolen in a. the
door, and was rubbing herself aud purr-
ing as if expressing her entire salts faction
at the proceeding. On perceiviug her, he
thought of a plan which be put immediate,
iy into exection. Grasping her torelegs,
he dabbled her forefeet about in the re-
mainder of the pie and placing her on the
shelf, left the pantry the cat jumping On
the floor and following him, leaving her
t-a ole &c oon~sa both n, .ha .Lnlf o~d
on the floor, much refreshed by his bite
and was soon diligently at work.
He had been hoeing but short time,
when, hearing noise in the rear, he look
ed up, and saw the old man coming with
Tabby under one arm, aud his gun over
his shoulder. Neither spoke the old man
passing by, and passing round behind {.
knoll which hid him from view.
Joe leaned on his hoe for moment, lis
tening, when his silence was suddenly dis
turbed by a report of a gun, mingled with
the screenings of the cat, plainly intima-
ting what had been the fate of poor pussy.
In moment more, the old man rcappear.
ed with his gun in hand, the smoke still
curling from the barrel: and as he passed
by his laboring hopeful, if he had not been
little hard Of hearing, he nigh. have
heard:
"There so,s another rictim Of circum
