AN ALLEGE ID sWlNDLE.


The Boston Advertiser of yesterday contains
the following account of an alleged swindliug
operation, which is to be taken with some
grains OF salt, as Messrs. Stimson and Perham
will very likely be able to make some explana-
ton which will put the matter in a different
light:
A man named Martin V. Stimson advertise d
short time since for number of men to 90
to Marshfeld, VT, and settle upon a lot of
land about 1900 acres, which he claimed to own
in that town. He said that he had mill upon
his property and he desired the settlers to clear
up the land, Guild new mills and do general
numbering business He wished them all to
buy piece of land at a moderate price, for
which he would take each mans note for $780,
Transportation vas to be furnished them over
the Fitchburg Railroad, with which road he
said ne had made arrangements. He succeeded
SO well that he induced about fifty credulous
ones tt embark in the enterprise, and so on
Monday morning of last week there was gen.
eral gathering of expectant settlers at the
Fitchburg station, encum bered with three
wagon loads of baggage. Arrived there, they
found that no arrangements had been made.
After mutual consultation the convention
agreed that it had been duped, and the best
thing to do under the circumstances would be
to consult the police authorities. When neti-
lied OF the affair, the case was placed in the
hands of Detectives Wood and Hines, and they
soon learned that despatch had been received
by MI. Joel Perham, stating that all the notes
and contracts would be returned to their re-
spective owners, and so they were, but Stim-
sons name was cut off from the contracts and
the settlers names cut from the notes. These
were handed over to the several parties. The
detectives learned that Stimson belonged to
Kittery, Me. Obtaining requisition from the
governor, they went first to Augusta Me, from
there to Portland, and from there to Ports
mouth, N. H., where they learned that the
long-sought-for was in Kittery. With the as
sistance of Deputy-Sheriff Joshua Remick,
Stimson was arrested at bis residence and
brought to this city yesterday afternoon.
Stimson was formerly editor of The State,
subsequently called The Star, paper publish
ed in Portland, Me. While engaged in his
land transaction he used the name of Colonel
G. II. Taylor of the Daily Globe, with which
paper Stimson said he was connected. He also
made use of Ex-Governor Perham's name, en-
dorsed by Governor Gaston's. Stimson got
one note for $4,000 from one of the would-be set
tiers, and the entire amount of the notes was
$4,000.
When questioned about the affair, he said be
mad purchased the land mentioned of Mr..
McKenna, who is really in possession, but the
land is owned by Mr.. Sawtelle of Gam bridge

AN EAsTPoRT VESSEL BOARDED AND ROB-
BED-The coasting schooner Samuel Knight of
PASSPORT, which arrived at Gloucester Thurs
day afternoon, reports that on Thursday morn
ing at half past O'clock, while lying off South
Boston flats. she was boarded by three men,
disguised with canvas masks and armed with
revolvers They entered the cabin where Capt.
George E. Clark and his two men, George H.
Murray and George Beal, were sleeping Capt.
ozark was awakened by hearing some one
proving about the CABIN, and seeing three
men, TWO of whom were engaged in lifting a
barrel OF Hour, asked them what they. were
ABOUT. One of them at once came alonside his
perrin, and drawing Colts revolver said be
wouio blow out the brains of any one who made
an alarm. The three scamps then went to
WORK and took most all the available property
IN the cabin, consisting of provisions, all the
PEST clothing they could find. and money as
follows: From Capt. Clark $105.75, and from
tne men $2l. The provisions were worth about
$9O. IL was very bold affair, and as they left
the cabin they told the men if they came on
deck while they were within shooting distance
they would blow their brains out Under these
circumstances they deemed it best to remain
quiet until they were entirely out of sight,
Wnen the alarm was given.

A BARREL WITHIN A BARREL.-For some
time past the deputy sheriffs have been trying
to discover where Anderson, saloon keeper
on Middle street, kept his ale and beer, but
yesterday afternoon they discovered one of the
most ingenious contrivances ever heard of for
the sale of lager beer. Deputies Ring and
Chase visited the saloon and under the counter
was what seemed to be barrel of cider and
turning the faucet you get cider. But the pc
culiar shape of the faucet attracted their stten
ton and by turning it another way out came
lager beer. The cider was incased in one end
of the barrel and in the other was keg OF
lager, pipe ran from the keg to the faucet on
the inside of the barrel, thus concealing every
appearance Of the fraud. The faucet is most
curiously contrIved affair and must have been
invented by some ingenious person. 1t is said
that there are several such arrangements doing
service in the city.
