OBTAINING GooDs ON FALsE PRETEssEs.-Some ten
days since Published account of the arrest OF ono
BENJAMIN Lindersmith in Ohio, and his extradiuo0
hither on the charge of obtaining goods under false
preteuses 1t appears that Lindersmith was formerly
in business at West Bedford CoshOctOn County, Ohio
and came to this city in August last to purchase goods
He stated that he had large amount of real estate I'M
incumbered large stock in trade out Of debt, and
that be had changed his place of business TO Bsdens-
burgb, email village in Knox County, Ohio, where
he had rented store &C. Upon these and other rep
resentaona be obtained credit Of several prominent
firms in the city. The goods were shipped, and upon
reaching Badensburgb transferred to confeder-
ates Of Lndersmith under pretext of sale, and imme-
diately shipped to Iowa. The creditors upon investi-
CATION finding Lindersmiths statements of his respon-
sbty to be false and the whole circumstances bearing
unmistakable evidence Of rascaty, concluded to mako
an example Of him. and proceeded TO get indictment
and requisition He is in the Tombs awaiting his
trial.
Weare informed that the frequent occurrence Of such
frauds within tie last few years has aroused the leading
merchants 10 a determination TO test the question
whether the law in relation thereto be enforced.
Hitherto has been customary for the sufferers from
such operations to quietly submit to the lose Of their
debt in OF arrest to compromise the matter and
allow the rogue to escape, but is said to be the nten
ton in this to submit 10 compromise, the object
being TO vndicate the law and thereby swinders
throughout the country that all such cases will
Hereafter be prosecuted. We informed tina. tho
Losses to which the merchants of this city subjected
by reason of such frauds amount to hundreds Of thou
sande of dollars annually and that the EVIL has reached
point where it fully determined to put stop 70 1t II
tie law will permit In case of the conviction Of Lin
deiSmith it is the intention proceed against nunber
Of otbcrs. The papers in readiness, awaiting the
resu Of biz trial. Such swindlers shoud certainly be
brought to Justice. The amount which they fitch in this
way from the community exceeds by tenold that from
burglaIies and rety hefts In addition 70 this they
destroy that confidence between men which is essential
to the commena interests of the country Yet judges
and iIres incline to deal lightly with them, while .
niserabe wretch who steals loaf Of bread 70 satisfy
the cravings Of hunger grmeptto cover his naked
nees is severely punished.

.Reiigion-What H1t?
II 81 BY BlSHor HEBEF.

Is it to go to church to day..
10 look devout and seem to pray,
And ere the morrow's sun goes down
Be dealing SANDER through the town.
Does every sanctimonious face f''
Denote the certain reign Of grace?
Does not phiz that scolds at sin
Oft veil hypocrisy withina
Is 1t to make our daily walk 7-f
And Of our own good deeds to talk,
Yet often p actice secret crime, r.,
And thus mis-spend our precions time.
Is it for sect or c,eed to fight, fre.
To call our zeal the rule Of right,aaz5S
When what We wish is at the lIest,
10 see our church excel the rest.
Is it to wear the Christians dress,
And love to all mankind profess,
And treat with scorn the humble poor,
And bar against them every doore ~
Oh. no, religion means not this,
Its fruit more sweet and fairer is .if
Its precepts this: TO others do st4
AS you would have them do to you.
1t gricves to her all i'll report, Ell
And scorns with human woes to sport
OF others deeds it speaks no ill,
But tells of good or keeps it still.
Aud does this religion this impart2 ,
Then may its influence fill my teart;
Oh haste that blissful, joyful Gay,
When all the eart1 NAV own its SWAY.

why that young laydy printer at
