The Peoria National Democrat has
the following account of . swindle
which has recently become known in
that city:
A rowing band of gipsies had settled
near Canton, Fulton County, Illinois,
and one Of them, and old woman
named Phillis Bosmer, had become
acquainted with Mr. Emery, who was
laboring under some disease. She
speedily won his confidence to such
an extent that he confded to her all
his business affairs. He even showed
her eight thousand six hundred and
forty-two dollars, and believed her
statements that by some mysterious
black art coniurations she could double
the sum, and was prevailed upon to
give his consent to the trial. While
Mr.. Emery, IN obedience to her re-
quest, had stepped for moment from
the room, the gipsey adroitly substi-
tuted package of white paper for the
roll of greenbacks and then left the
house, first promising Mr.. Emery to
return in three days, when the money
would have time to double itself. Mr..
Emery locked the package Of paper
carefully in his desk, not having no
ticed the change, and waited patiently
for Wednesday. But Wednesday and
Thursday passed, and no gipsey wo-
man came and then, growing some
what alarmed, be examined the pack
age, and at once discovered the decep-
ton
The matter was put into the hands
Of detective, who soon found the
woman, and she was taken to Fulton
county, and, strangely enough, was
put in the watch house instead of the
county jail. One Of the officers of the
calaboose, seeing the woman in the
morning, and being informed by her
that she was there tor no offense, but
simply as lodger, he allowed her to
leave. Since that time she has not
been seen.

agreed to work at his trade on week

on Sundays, receiving as pay whatev-
er the congregation would raise for

Ba~A A family in Lacrosse, Wiscon-
sin, have been missing stove wood for
several weeks past On the return of
the head of the family few days
since, the case was stated, and Sunday
night a very pretty stick of fuel was
left with the Others on the wood-piIe.
In the stick were eight ounces of pow
der for safe keeping. Monday the
stick was there, Tuesday the stick was
there, and the laugh was now getting
on the man who fixed it. Wednesday
morning the stick was gone. Wednes-
day forenoon an explosion was heard
in house near, and q kitchen window
was spared no panes. On going to
the spot sight was seen. The stove
had joined piece conference. A ket-
tie of pork and cabbage shot up thro'
the roof like an arrow. A dish of ap-
pies that was stewing on the stove
gave the ceiling the appearance ofthe
map of California. A cat sleeping un
der the stove went through the win
dow as if after the devil or doctor,
and has not been seen or heard of
since, but a smell of burnt cat-hair
pervades that house very thoroughly.
A lat-iron was hoisted into a pan of
dough, a chair lost three legs, the
wood-box looks sick, while the roof of
the house looks like busted apple
dumping. The occupant of the ruins,
says; "Such dunder never comes pc.
fore, or | puys lightenin' rod"
