THE TRIGGs' CONCERT.
A ShreWd Trick.

How THE THIEvIsH GYPsIEs WERE SOLD BY
kEEN FARMER.
Eyerybo will rejoice at reading the following
account OF how some thievish sypsies were sold
by keen old Maryland farmer:
1t seems the gypsies had fine horse, so trained
that hen they traded with any one he would lie
down. and no amount of persuasion could induce
him TO get up again, and the consequence was
that the gypsies would offer, for certain consid-
eration to trade back again. The old farmer lis
tened attentiyely as friend expatiated upon the
good qualities of the horse, ard he mentally re-
solved to possess it, and this is how he got it
lie hitched up pair OF mules, and taking with
him a horse whose end was nigh at hand, out OF
the stable, he started Tor their camp, and hunted
around until he found the "hoss." lie offered to
give them SO and his horse in exchange. Oi
course his offer was quickly taken up; tine halter
was united and he staited off with his bargain,
but down went the obstinate horse on the ground
The gypsey smiled Significantly and offered to
| trade back for an extra $40. marry trade, res
ponded the old man. "Jm,n he yelled to his
black man 'Jim, bring up Them mules" jim
| obeyed, and q rope put around the horses mech
and the mules started. The situation was rather
| Uncomfortable for the tricky animal. and he wai
very soon upon his feet. Tho gypsey was aston
1 $3.50 tor him. Tho farmer was inex xorabie, how
ever, and quietly remarked he left the caml
with his prize: $40 amt much to lose !" and jim
followed him up remarking 'and of dat old hos
of ourn travels lar widout falln' down, jes lei
know itl'
We learn that the gentleman has since bsen oil
fered $3.50 for the horse, but refused it, as he ha
not enly proved TO be sound. hut also very tas

Ii the Peninsula ON an Iron FoundatIoh9 |
The interests awakened in the matter Of iron
deposits on the Peninsula, and particularly in
this locality, is becoming rather absorbing in the
minds Of some of our land owners. 1t is caus-
ing not few of our farmers TO get after the in
| vostigation of the subject with "sharp stick"
! Almost every piece Of soggy land for miles
around us has been thoroughly punched by a
bost of amatuer geologists who are anxious to
see the "waste places made g!ad'' by the Penn
sylvania Iron Companies.
A gentleman Of Smyrns has received a letter
from member of the 6chuykiil Iron Co., Of
Pottavile Pa, which reads ~ follows
"I have taken several leases in Dover. North
and South Murderkill Hds, and Caroline co..,

taken is to prospect them for hematite ore,
which believe to lay beneath the surface indi-
