A Sw1HD1ER RIGHTLY DEALT WuH.-Ae
many of our citizens were silly enough &c
be duped by fellow calling himself J.
Wood, Agent for Evans Gift Distr1bu-
tion,' we, for their benefit, propose to give
a statement of his seeming procrastination
in sending forward the gifts which he prom
Used to all who purchased package of
needles from him. About twenty five
days ago, this diminutive specimen OF hu-
manity went his rounds through our city,
and humbupged many of the unsuspect1nG,
stating that in twenty days they would re-
ceiye q present of q smaller or larger mag
nitude. We are informed that this fellow
went from our city, to oir sister town Beau
fort. and that there he was arrested for
bedding without license, but the sheriff
of Carteret released him upon his paying
q heavy fine, and taking himself Off. Wood,
we learn stated that he had swindled the
people in all the towns throughout the
State and was never interfered with before.
The presents may vet come, but we shall
| believe 1t when We see some OF them.
From what information we have gath
cred of this scampS success, we hesitate
not to say that he carried away from our
CITY at least three or four hundred dollars.
Experience is the only thing that will
teach our race, and some do not seem to
profit even by that.
