CONFIDENCE MEN.-On Monday
August 7th, two strangers called at
the residence of Mr.. James Cfiueer;
who resides near Perrysville in this
county, and representing themselves
to be United States detectives, charged
Ofineer, who was absent, with passing
counterfeit money. His wife, anxious
to clear him from the charge, produc.
ed $685. 90 in Greenbacks for exami-
nation. Pretending that they had left
their magnifying glass at the depot,
they left, taking the money along for
examination, stating hat they would
soon return with it. They failed to
return. So, Mr.. Ofineer, is minus
the whole amount. He is the travel
ing agent for the Champion moving
machine, and has been handling con-
siderable money. This may have led
the villains to visit his house in his
absence. Nc clue to the rascals has,
as yet, been fonnd. People cannot be
too careful in dealing with strangers.
The country is full of confidence men,
rogues. and thieves. Put your SUP
plus money on deposit, and it will be
safe.
