A FRIEND furnishes us with an account of
some Of the changes among business men of
Staunton since 1862. Of 81 persons engagg-
ed in business in Staunton, at that time, as
Lawyers, Doctors, Merchants and Mechanics,
20 are dead, (among which number 3 were
LAWYERS, 2 Doctors, I Merchants and Me-
chanics, 30 left the town and the remainder
Q4) are either out of, or have entirely chang
ed business. This statement is thought not to
include more than one half the changes among
the business portion of this community dur
ing the past ID years, from deaths, emigra-
ton or otherwise.

FREDERICK ScHErFER ESQ.,, of this place
was swindled short time since out of goods
and money to the amount Of 1925, in the
following manner:
A man by the name Of Kuhn presented
himself to Mr. Scheher and exhibited to him
a letter purporting to be from the Prussian
Consul at New York, stating that he held
In his hands $500 in money which had
been sent him from Germany, subject to a
deduction of $25 for commission.
He furthermore stated that he had been
referred to him by their mutual friend Mr.
Cunard as responsible party who would at
tend to the collection of the same. Mr.
Scheffer not desiring commission Of that
sort, turned him over to Messrs Shelley &
Allan Bankers in our town. who undertook
the collection for him. -
The matter as to the money being now
settled, he said he was also advised by Mr..
Cunard to consult with MrsSchefer as to the
propriety of locating in Staunton, and what
sort of business would pay best. Mr.. Schef-
fer having learned from him that he was g
Cabinet Maker, advised him to buy materia
and furniture, and 60 to work at that bust
ness, to which he readily assented.
In the meantime he proposed to purchase
some goods to sell, in order to employ hi
time, until he could receive his money. T,
this proposition Mr.. Schefer believing al
things right) readily consented and furnished
him with the amount of goods stated above
He left with the goods, telling Mr.. ScheHe
that he was going to dispose of them in tn
neighborhood Of Conrad's Store in Rocking
ham County. A day Or two after he lef
Messrs Allan & Shelley informed Mr. Schef
fer that they had just received letter from
New York, advising them, that the letter o
the Prussian Consul was base forgery, anc
that there was no money in the hands of thu
Prussian Consul for Kuhn.
Mr.. Scheffer started Immediately in pur
suit Of the scoundrel, and learned at Harri
sonburg that instead of going to Conrad
Store, he went direct to Winchester
From the Winchester News we learn tina
Mr.. Scheffer placed the case in the hands @
detective Burnett who not only succeeded il
recovering the goods, but in tracking tn
