Tom COLLINs.-Perhaps the most

Tom COLLINs.-Perhaps the most
general and effective practical joke
to which credulOus man has ever
fallen victim, was perpetrated on
any number of our citizens on Tues
day last. The plot was this:
A. would say to B.. "Have you
seen that fellow Collins - mo.
what Collins p "Why. Tom Col
Inns. He has been abusing you all
over town; says you owe him money,
are q thief, &c, Sc. 1 have just
seen him going to the depot.r OF
course, poor B., with maledictions
deep and loud against the SANDER
Gus Collins, arms himself with pts
tol and club, and starts to the depot
to punish the villain. From the de
pot he is sent to some other distant
point. meeting everywhere parties
who corroborate the story of his dis
honor. If he goes to the hotel lie
finds the name on the register, and
is told Collins has gone ont ; said he
was going to look for yom, (rhe in
quirer).
After the victim has run himself
down looking for his trsducer, the
Joke is explained, and he is forced
to "set 'em up for the whole mob,
who are now rendlng the air with
their laughter at his expense.
These stories were changed. OF
course, to suit each fresh victim,
aud perhaps more than a dozen of
our fighting men were On the war
path Tuesday evening, and had they
come up with such a man as Tom
Collins they would not have left !
of him for a decent funeral
would have been no .
where.
Wednesday, our country cousins
came in for their share ofthe joke, and |
armed with six shooters and axe
helves, inIuiring everywhere for the
Collins, served to pro-
tract the amusement of the perpe-
traitors. The result was the same IN
ali cases-"set' em upland stink OFF.
