1t appears from their circulars that
this was to be their third grand levee for

total valued at 100000 The gifts were
to vary in worth from 81 to $4,000. The
profits were to be given to charitable and
benevolent purposes. 1t is fair to pre-
sumo that on a sale ofall the tickets, the
rascals who operated would make at least

THE BORDER FARM.-We stated some
time ago that Squire Border, of Blue
Rock township, had sold his farm to some
Eastern men for $4,000, the cash to be
paid in two weeks from the day of sale.
Before the day the money was to be paid,
other parties from New York offered the
Squire 100000 for the property and pay
him cash in hand there and then. The
Squire thought perhaps the purchasers
might back out, as he had heard nothing
from them since, and came to the city
and took legal advice about the matter,
but found the contract valid. Since then
the purchasers came to hand and prompt
