A lot of swindIers perambulating this
and other counties lately swindled Newton
McGinnis, of Jefferson township, to the
tune of $4,000, under the pretense of
selling him the agency of certain pIows,
he signing his name to certain paper OF
contract, which being detached, proved to
be note for 10000, which was forward
ed for collection in few days, to the great
astonishmont of Mr.. MeGinnis. Our farm
ers would do well to look out for this class
of swindlers. We would remark that it is
singular that people will allow themselves
to be swindled by strangers who travel
through the country hunting up opportuni-
ties to cheat honest, unsuspecting people in
the country. When you wish to procure
an agency of any kind. trade with some
one you know to be honest-somebody
with whom you are acquainted.

At the regular meeting of our town

pealed the ordinance passed few weeks
ago, hav ing for its object the rOgula-
ton of the sale of ale, beer and porter
in town. The Council became satisfied
that the ordinance was insufficient to ac-
complish the designs for which it was
passed. 1t is due to the board to say that
the vote to repeal was unanimous. They
also discharged the two policemen they
have had employed for some time past, and
ordered the discontinuance of the ringing
