The good law abiding citizens of Camden do
not always know when they are imposed upon,

ing case, which came to light Wednesday.A few
weeks ago fine looking young man made his
appearance in town and engaged boarding

at large, and from his prepossessing powers,
found no trouble in gaining an entrance into So

seemed 10 know. Finally, his character was
suspected, but too late. He proved to be pro-
fessional gambler, Tisdale, alias Frank How
ard, of New Bedford notoriety, and nobody
knows how many other names he owns A
few evenings ago he took$40 from young man
and smaller sums out of others; but the crimi-
nal part of the story yet remains to be told. On
Tuesday night, he was seen to enter the house
Of yonng married man, who had gone out for
the evening, leaving his wife alone. He short
~ learned that Tisdale waa there, and on re-
turning, was obliged to burst the door in to dis
cover evidences of his wife's infidelity. He
gave his wife few hours to pack up, and Tis-
dale twenty-fou hours to leave town. The
young man thus robbed of his home, has always
been regarded as sober, industrious artizan,
born and brought up in the place. Under the
circumstances he thought it better that his wife
