s s, A Philadelphia paper has the follow
ing: er4 4 ,sa5s Tiaes b -
sd' We have heard Of thief robbing an
old lady of the spectacles upon her fors-
head, and even of taking the mace from
newly appointed policeman, but .
piece of acuteness was yesterday per-
pstrated by sharper that beats all
three. The trick was done upon lit
tie steamboat plying down the river to
Pennsgrove, n. J. Among the pas
sengers by the boat was New Jersey
grocer, named John Tice. Mr.. Tice
had purchased lot of groceries, in
GLIDING a very fine Bucks county
cheese, weighing about sixty-fve
pounds. Waiting the departure of the
boat, he was watching his goods as
they lay on the dock. For want of
better Accommodations, he took seat
on the aforesaid cheese. AS Mr.. Tice
was studying over the movements of
the rebels in Missouri, and solacing his
nasal organ from "yaller" snuff box,
two young men appeared and entered
into conversation. A w O CYi
"You take snuff, sir ?" said young
man No. 1.

it. Took it over eight years."
"You use the Maccaboy, perceive"
"Yes. That suits nae best for a
steady snuff" . Ogit> af@Fi
"Let me recommend you to try
,mine,'' said the sharper, producing a
silver plated box, engraved with an
American eagle and two harpoons.
"Imported it from France. 1t is the
Identical snuff used by Marshal Pellis-
Ter, and the officers of the French army.
Mr.. Tice said certainly" and in
serted his thumb and finger in the
strangers box. The moment he placed
it to his nose he was seized with vio-
lent sneezing. AT every sneeze he
lifted himself about a foot from the
cheese upon which he was sitting.
While he was doing this sharper No.
2 was carrying out his part of the pro-
gramme. As Mr.. Tice gave the third
sneeze he pushed the cheese from under
him, and in its place placed a peek
measure. As Mr.. Tice was sneezing
for the eighth and last time, the sharp
ers and the cheese disappeared. Mr..
. Tice rubbed his nose for about five
minutes more in wondering as to the
style of nose possessed by Marshal
Pellisier and the officers of the French
army, who took such remarkable snuff
BY this time the deck hands of the
boat commenced to load up Mr.. ,Tice'.
goods. Mr. Tice rose from his seat and
said:
stake this cheese, too"
Deck hand said What cheese %
Mr.. Tice looked around, and found
that instead of cheese he had beer
sitting on peck measure. When he
understood the manner in which the
exchange had been effected, he wa.
