A Clever Swindle.

The St. Johnsbury Caledonian tells
the following: About the neatest conf
dence game we have heard of in a long
time, was praeticed at Barnet not very
long since One day a Frenchman ap-
peared in town and made inquiry for
men of his own nationality. He found
several thrifty families in the place, and
to one of them he opened his heart. He
was a native of France. but now just
from Montreal, on his way to friends in
Michigan. He was out of money in
deed, dead broke. He had a nice gold
watch and heavy gold chain, but he did
not want to sell them in fact would not
part with them. The watch was keep
sake, and the chain he had made to or
der to his own mind and pattern. But
if his friend would loan him $50, he
would leave the watch with him, and as
soon as he reached Michigan he would
redeem it by forty dollar check by
mail. That scheme looked little too
thin to catch Barnet Frenchmen. They
said, or surmised, at once, that the watch
was bogus. But their dead broke friend
was too shrewd to let them hardly sug-
gest that; but said at once, of course
you won't take my word for this let us
go to jeweler and have this property
proved. So off they posted to Mr.. Laugh
lin'sshop, when the proprietor pronounc-
ed the watch and chain pure gold, heavy
and valuable. This of course satisfied
the Barnet party, and in the hope of do.
ing a good turn to countryman in a
strange land, but with an eye also on the
ten dollars bonus he was to receive. he
handed over his thirty dollars.
Now watch the proceedings The
Montreal gentleman was very thankful
for the loan but he wished it distinctly
understood that money would not induce
him to part with his watch only for a
short time. And to make everything
sure, and to save his Barnet friend any
trouble, he produces neat little box,
takes his watch out of his pocket, care
fully encloses it in the box, wraps and
ties it up, directs it to his own name and
address in Michigan, and giving it to
his friend says: In about one week YOU
will receive letter from me enclosing a
check for $40. When that comes. lust
hand this package containing my watch
and chain into the express office, and it
will come to me all right. With many
expressions of gratitude, the Montreal
gentleman babe his Barnet friends adieu
and started West.
A week passed and no letter from
Michigan. A few days more and the
Barnet man began to suspect something.
1t occurred to him that he would look at
the valuable watch which would be all
his own, in case the Montreal man had
died in fit. or had been murdered ON
the way. or smashed up in railroad ac-
cident. He carefully undid the pack
age, and there sure enough was the very

of large two story dwelling house, ELL shed

The House has been recently fitted up-papered

furnace put in. and in every respect the buildings
are in splendid condition.
There are five large commodious rooms on the
hrst and eight upon the second hoor. and they are
particularly we'll arranged for convenient use
The plan of the premises was designed by Mrs
Baxter and it was subject of remark, that good
taste and happy appreciation of what was desira-
Bile in house, were shown in its construction.
AS have had occasion to remark before, (the
ruth Of which is becoming quite apparant) the OPP
portunities of securing first class residence in
favorable locality, are not often presented to the
public,-and they are becoming less frequent every
day. Places of permanent value, arising chiefly
from location are gradually dropping into hands
who appreciate them. and will hold them for their
own use, and these fine estates will soon be out of
the market, except upon rare occasions.
in saying that this property is justly classed with
the best in Bellows Falls, and not excelled by any

It was an English sparrow chick,
Reared in Kings Chapel's caves,
He heard the drums the Seventeenth
Shaking his ivy leaves.
He clambered to the nests high edge,
To see what all this meant;
But his head was the largest part Of him,
And overheard he went.
He fell, and futtering, found his wings,
They only whirled him round
Poor little fluffy shoulder blades!-
And left him on the ground.
But stout he stood on his two legs,
And eyed the people all,
Then sat him in dusty hole
Close by the old church wall.
This downy bit of English stock,
By the old English stones,
His ivy birthplace overhead,
No new allegiance owns.
Calmly he views the Yankee hosts,
Blinks not the Yankee flag,
Heeds not the flies and rafting drums,
With Yankee Doodle's Brag
Amused, a country lad stoops down:
"You young John Bull" he cried.
81 reckon now you'd best give in,
Not stand so digniied!
'This amt the day for you to come
A charging up this street;
You'd best keep on King Georges land;
This time we don't retreat"
Young Jonathan put forth his hand,
The chick but stepped aside,
With dignity and steadfast bent,
His station to abide.
But as the big and friendly hand
Enclosed him round about,
1t felt his little fiuttering heart
Telling its panic out.
The tiny Briton nestled down,
AS feeling kindred blood,
The Yankee set him through the fence
"There! wait till your wings bud?'
From the safe greensward to the saints
Behind the ivy screen
Was but six hops-aDd happier bird
In Boston ne'er was seen.
