The Confidence Game.

A CHESTER COUNTY YOUTH RoBBED-A SHARPER
AND wHIsKEY MILL TOO MUCH FOR HIM,
John Stevens commonly known as " Jack -
Stevens, is resident of Landenberg, except al
times when, on account of his occasional inaccura.
ces of life it is not too unhealthy for him to stay
there. "Jack" has several times left for the good
of Landenberg, but taking advantage of the for
giving disposition of the citizens he has as ofCen
returned. He is young man only
about 23 or "a years, and unfortun-
atey for her he has a wife, and for
tunatey for her on the other hand he has left
her TO take care Of herself.
Jack has propensity for possessing other
peoples property, and the latest dodge for OBJ
tanning such property occurred on Friday last,
IN the following manner.
A young lad about 15 years of age living at
West Grove having saved about IS or &c of his
earnings, came across to Landenberg to take
passage to Wilmington for the purpose OF pur-
chasing cheap suit of clothes. "Jack" who
had been skuking around the depot "spotted"
him at once and ingratiated himself into the
youths favor. on they both started to Whining
ton to make the contemplated purchase, Jack OF
course knowing exactly where the cheapest store
Wae.
On arriving in this city they entered drink
ing saloon, where they alternately treated each
other, at each drink Jack trying to push his
empty pocketbook along the counter 80 that hif
new acquaintance would pick it up and put it in
his pocket in place of his own. In this he at
last succeeded, when all at once he remembered
that he had to go to bank and get note cashed
while the youth of course would wait for his re-
turn. "Greeney" waited, and waited, but nc
sign of his 'bank man" could be seen. So with
Hheepish kind of feeling he left Wilmington
Tor Landenberg, without his expected suit oi
clothing, and inquiring of everybody he met il
tlley had seen anything of Jack Stevens.

THE SEASON. THIS YEAR,
while not go g flush as sometimes, has been a
good one. The best houses have been full, and
are, this week, though not 30 crowded but that
they can make room for the arriving " one more. "
The Chester County House, an excellent tnrry-
ing place, as we satisfactorily proved, is well
filled, considerably over hundred guests sitting
down to it's abundanty- provided table. The
situation of this house is exceptional
by good, on account Of its nearness to the beach.
The sea front Of the city has greatly changed
within few years, the shore growing out rap
idly, until the
BATHING BEACH is NOW QUITE DEFIANT
from the older hotels, and the United States and
others have a private railway to convey their
guests between the hotel and the bathing
houses. The Chester County, to overcome this
trouble, and be placed where the guests might
receive the sea air fresh from the briny pillows
was removed bodily last Fall, and established
nearly two blocks nearer the ocean, where it now
has capital position, not surpassed by any OH
the Island. In this respect it has decided ad-
vantage over many of the houses standing away
over in the town, which though they enjoy the
coolness produced by contiguity to the ocean, get
scarcely more of fresh sea breeze than the res
idents of our goody city of Wilmington.

month of August, and since then the place has
