SwIsDIINs.-Y esterdsy we heard of An
occurrence which transpired at the wood
market, that convinced us .tbat some
men at least are rascsis. A farmer resid-
ing some six miles from the city, on the
Montrose road, brought in small load OF
stove. wood, which had become jolted
down SO that i. was scarcely visible above
the wagonbox. Before arriving at the
wood market he threw it out, and then
threw it back in as loose manner as pos
sible, and it WAS with some difficulty that
he could get it all to lay on. He then
drove up to the market, and it measured
68 feet, when it would not have measured
32 feet previous to the "pihng up pro.
cess. He remarked that that paid, after
selling the wood to widow woman
Several persons saw the transaction, but
no one reported him to the Measurer, and
he was allowed to depart with his i'll got
ten gains. Such men as him should be
taken to the calaboose.
