THAT swIEDLE.--That jewelry fakir who held
forth on the square Saturday did a good and
profitable business, taking in nearly ninety dol.
lars, of which about seventy-fve was clear money
His method of beating the people is an old one,
and 1t has been but three or four years since the
very same operation was successfully worked on
the street in Canton. He represents that he is
simply advertising for a large house, and is au-
thorized to sell certain number of several differ
ent articles Of jewelry. He begins by selling one
dozen cheap rims, ten cents each, no change
made; the rings are ten cents each, and every
purchaser must hand up the exact change; If he
hands more, no change will be made. When the
dozen rings have been sold, he returns to each
purchaser the ten cents, giving them the ring for
nothing This same operation is repeated with
other articles, each successive one ranging higher
In price, up to two or three dollars, and eyeIy
time the money is returned. Finally, after lead
ing them to believe thai this method will continue
to the end he offers some more important article,
as watch, long neck chain, or something similar
for five dollars, finds number of purchasers
takes in about ninety dollars, and instead of re.
turning the money as before thanks the crowd
kindly, tells them the money is his, and he can
give 1t to the church. or do whatever else he likes
with 1t, and finally informs them he will keep 1t
and drives of before the crowd can fully compre.
hend the meaning Of 1t all. 1t is strange, passing
strange, how people in this day, with all the pub
lie exposures that have been made in print, of
such games and tricks, will still invest and lose
but some people will acknowledge no teacher but
experience

BEAUTIFUL CANE.-Ar, G. w. Crane, of Sharon,
Medina county, returned last week from trip of
several months duration through the Eastern
States. He reports business terribly dull through
the manufacturing towns of New England, and
says we know little about hard times in Ohio. He
has very handsome souvenir of the trip in the
shape of a beautiful cane, presented him by Hon
Rodney E. French, Of New Bedford the great
whaling vessel port. About two thirds of the
lower part Of the cane is made Of the jaw bone Of
a sperm whale. The head is made of tooth of
the same animal, finely carved and Immediately
below the head are rings of black and white, the
white being of the same material as the head
and the black sperm whale bone.--AkrOn Times.
Esquire Crane is an old and valued Democratic
friend of the editor of the STARK Co. DEMOCRAT.
Mr.. Crane, we believe was born and brought up
at New Bedford, Captain BarnabaS Crane, his
father, whom we also knew well, was a sea cap
tain till late in life. The Crane family settled in
Sharon, Medina county, in 1888.

CANTON June 10, 1876.
Prof Daniel Worley having rendered his resig.
nation Of the position of Superintendent # the
Canton City Union Schools, assigning reasons
thereforwhiCh seem to him proper and sufficient
justification of his action. be it resolved:
First That said resignation be and the same IL
hereby accepted TO take effect at the close of the
current school year.
Second-That In thus severing the relation
which Prof. Worey has sustained to the schools
of this city and district during the past eleven
years, we deem 1t due to him to give formal ex.
preston to our entire confidence In him as
scholar, teacher, executive officer and Christian
gentleman, and our high appreciation OF his as
siduous devotion to the duties Of his position dur
ing his extraordinary term ofservice the fruits of
which are seen In the present thorough and effec-
tive organization of our school work in all its de.
partments The gratifying pr 1gress ofpupis, and
the moral and Intellectual attainments of those
who have grown up under his instruction and
passed into the active relations of lire.
Third-That the dissolution of our ofiiciel rela-
tons with Prot. Worley, always most cordial and
harmonious, is attended with profound regret
and consummated only because asked by him on
grounds which render this course unavoidable
Fourth-That this action be spread upon the
Journal of the Board, and copies be furnished the
city papers for publication.
