From letter in the Bradford Telegraph,
dated at Annapolis, Feb. 9TH we take the
following:
We have now very fine Band in our
regiment of which our old friend Whit

belonged to Capt Sawyer, of company |.
There are many fine musicians among the
buglers who have ably seconded Whit
combs efforts in forming this joy and So

good band to be.

A Swindler.--Pass Him Round.

gentlemanly appearing fellow with one
arm in sling, made his appearance in
Morristown. The first person he is known
to have called upon was S. Niles, on Nor
ristown Plain. Of him he enquired for
Congregational Clergyman. Mr.. Niles
directed him to Rev. Mr.. Bartlett, of Nor
risville. He called on Mr.. Bartlett. and
stated that he had been unfortunate, and
wanted help. He stated that he had
been stopping at the Doncgana House in
Montreal, where he had fallen by acct
dent through hatchway, a distance of
over thirty feet, breaking his arm; and
had in consequence been confined several
weeks. and had used up all his money.
He was now trying to get to his friends
in New Hampshire He said that his
father was a member of Dr. Barstow's
church, in Keene N. H., and that he was
for several years a deacon. On further
conversation Mr.. Bartlett found that he
was acquainted with people in Spring
field Mass, where Mr.. Bartlett once lived.
and there was about him such an air of
sincerity, that on his request, accompanied
with the promise of refunding Immediate
ly on his arrival at home. Mr.. Bartlett
gave him enough for his immediate needs.
and sent him on his way. ..,..
Not hearing from him according to
promise, MIR. B. wrote to DR.. Barstow,
lnIuiring in relation to the facts in the
case, and the Dr. answers, that he has
received several letters of similar inquiry
about gentleman whom he supposes to
be the same one; and says that he has
requested those who have been humbugged,
to expose the gentleman; but that none
have done 80 yet. The DR.. sends the
following to Mr.. Bartlett. with the request
that he would procure its publication.
We gladly give it place, and hope the
press generally will help the thing along:
