erson & Sherman have been victimizng the far
mers Of Cecil county. They put up at the How
ard House, Elkton, aud represented themselves
as agents for patent hay fork, dung fork and
potato digger combined, which was to be fasten-
cd to the end Of q. cart, and to perform various
wonderful feats in on Incredibly short space Of
ime and with an incredible saving of labor.
The Cecil Wing says, this wonderful combina-
ton machine, among its other qualities, had the
advantage Of selling much cheaper when it
could BIO sold to combination of five or six men
from each district in the county. And our sharp
ers soon managed, under their favorable terms,
to find forty or fifty men In the county simple
enough to give note of fifty dollars each, pay
able to bearer, and r. Sinclair q Co., of Balti-
more, according to the agreement of Dickerson
q Sherman, were to furnish the machines. We
do not know what private or verbal arrangement
was made between the sharpers and their vic
tins; but as soon as they had obtained suff-
cicnt number Of notes, they sold them for 1876
each to some Of the Elkton capitalists, who COB
bled up good paper readily, OF such liberal dis
count But Dickerson q Sherman had hardly
left town, carrying with them somo $1,000 or
$1,000, before the purchasers of the patent COM
blnation machine discovered that Sinclair d Co.,
had never heard of such men, and were conse-
quenty not responsible for any of their contracts
and that they had been badly sold. Dickerson
had n dashing looking woman with him, who |
passed as his wife, and who was greatly admired |
by some of our young men.
we do not know whether the makers of the |
notes will be able to escape their payment, but |
presume some lawsuits will arise out of them.

The Gift Concert which was to have come off |
