OK the 18th ult.. d. Z. Robinson. Esq,
cashier of the Miflin County National
Bank, received a Geographic dispatch from
Middleburg. purpcrting to be from Col.
VIM. Willis, requesting him to forward
$500 by express TO the latter's address at
~Selinsgroye. As Col. Willis was in attend
ance at the Snyder county o. as a wit
ness, the money was forwarded without a
shadow OF suspicion that a swindler was
on the mark. On the Colonel's return to
Lewistown, the matter was incidentally
mentioned, when it trauspired that he had
sent no such message. 1t has since been
ascertained that the swindler called at the
express Office at Selinsgrove for the pack
age. but the agent being sharp enough to
require known proof of identification,
failed to get 1t. The money has been re-
turned. Swindlers of all kinds are be-
coming SO common that it will almost be a
safe rule to refuse dealing with strangers
altogether where obligations in money
matters or money is concerned.-Leicts

IL a small squib IN our issue of Nov
25th, we attempted to rub the back of the
Bedford Gazette, and judging from the
billingsgate it INDUCES in in its issue Of
last week we rubbed the bristles the wrong
way. The Gazette says "Mr. Fisher did
not write the article to which the HERALD
alludes. neither did n jot or title of il re-
fer in the remotest degree to Mr.. Jordan
of the Inquirer" The public then are
to understand that the senior o the Gazette,
too cowardly TO let the attack on the KaquireI
appear as Ais owH. OIL the editorial page,
must needs shield himself behind the

THE ANNOUNCEMENT was made yesterday that in
fPriyy Council on Thursday last His Majesty had
appointed the Hons. Godfrey Rhodes, j. Mott
Smith, and s. p. Kalama, as q Committee Of that
Body to act in conjunction with the Cabinet in
carrying out the provisions of the Act to author
ize a National Loan, passed at the late session of
the Legislature. As to the duties which will de-
volve upon the Board Of Finance thus constituted,
and the powers which they will possess, in the
event of the proposed loan being obtained, it APP
pears to our comprehension that the general pub
lie have been in error, an error however which it
was very natural to fall into, without having
given the subject a thorough consideration And
the terms of the Act itself, in the 9th section,
appear to be explicit and conclusive enough, if
we look no farther, as to the very important
powers conferred on the Board. We quote:
.-Aad be IT further enacted, that whereas The loan

powers. Not but that a system of advances by
government on the products Of our plantations

the practice followed in some other countries
but the system which would grow up under the
section now in review, would require a great
deal of very careful attention and management.
But here the question arises, will the Minister
