While at Ironton, week or two since,
we saw Joshua Willis, of Aid Township,
Lawrence County, man bowed down
with years, very hard of hearing, and
walking with long and rough staff, with
an iron ring at the bottom of it. He said
he was 1O5 years old, and that he had
walked from his home that morning. It
was not then o'clock, and the distance
was fully IL miles. He lay down upon
the floor to rest, after which he was going
to attend to business with a lawyer.-Ma "a

swindlers.

We have learned of more swiRdles being
perpetrated upon the people of this and
adjoining counties this year than ever be-
fore in the same length of time. One
class of these scoundrels carry samplesspf
calico, muslin and other cotton goods
which they contract to deliver on a GER
tain day at ten cents per yard;this is only
bait. At the same time they exhibit
patterns of broadcloth, which they sell
cheap for cash, Git having been smuggled
free of duty,) pocket the cash and unfor-
tunately for the purchaser his 10th when
closely inspected prove to be ashoddy, y
and his cheap calico and muslin never
makes its appeara nee.
Another class, go around buying up old
feathers at twenty cents per pound agree
ing to deliver new feathers at the same
price on a day fixed upon, which of course
they never fulfil We have heard of sew
eral families emptying every bed tick in
their house, elated with the idea of OBJ
tanning new feathers SO cheap and getting
rid of their old ones. When these scamps
make their appearance give them a coat
of tar and feathers sufficient to cover the
same dscently and our werd for it they
will not trouble you again.
