"THREE. Card MoxrEn SwixpLR.-The
baltimore Sun of Wednesday, says Geo.
Ii. Houck, a young man from Carroll county,
was cheated out OF forty dollars in this city
yesterday afternoon by a game known rs
"three-card monte" He was driving his
fathers wagon ON Howard street when he was
accosted by man who asked him If he had
sold out. He replied that he had about sixty
pounds of butter left, but that it was not u
prime article. The stranger said that made
no difference, he knew party who would
take it, and they went together TO saloon
on Saratoga street, near Howard street, where
the countryman was invited in and treated
twice to beer, A man was playing with some
cards in the saloon, aud llouck was asked to
make bet on card, He replied he knew
nothing about cards, but was finally induced
to bet five dollars, which he was allowed to
win. He was then asked to bet larger sum,
which he refused TO do, saying he had no
money OF his own, that what he did have be.
longed to his father The man who had ne
costed him on the street replied, "lou have
plenty of money putting his hand towards
his pocket and almost by force compelling
Houck to lay forty dollars down on the table.
AT this juncture third party came in and
remarked, what, gambling going on here;
! will call for the police" The other two
. men appeared to be- very much frightened at
this, and lone of them picking up the forty
dollars belonging to Houckl both rushed out
of the saloon.

Of affairs to-day partly exists by virtue of
the heavy taxation which she has for
years been lsvying and collecting upon
the pirate Improvements and industries
built, fostered and maintained by these
impoverished and tax.ridden counties.
When the State Was in debt these
counties bore their burdens with fortitude,
but since she occupies her present happy

dictates that the Legislation OF the State
should be shaped with the view to relieve
these counties from their oppressed con-

price to be taxed as other property for

Ohio Couety Fair.
fFron the GraysOn Journal. j

EIOH Auo eOuIuall
On last Saturday we took a trip down
to Hartford and were an sdmiring spec
tator of the closing scenes OF the Ohio
County Fair. which was, considering the
maAy difficulties 10 be surmounted, a
success of which the managers and
stock holders may feel justly proud
We were more than agreeably surprised
by the "beauty and chiValry" that graced
the amphitheater, and our mind WAS
speedily disabused Of the "hsar.ssy" in>
pressIons previously made.
The grade OF the stock, il not OF the
best strains, was at least above msdiocri-
iy, while the competition in the premium
list was animated and the awards, so far
as we could learn, justly and satisfactory
" bestowed.
Unfortunately, onr first aud only visit
to Hartford Was brief and as we are, by
force of circumstances, q brief man and
publish a brief paper. We will have to be
content with only a brief notice of those
who so largely contributed to our enjoy
ment. In truth. guided by the basis of
our feelings, we could not do Justice to
Barrett, his HERALD. and his people, in
less space Than one column. Col. Barrett
and lady, the agreeable host and charm-
ing hostess of the Hartford House, Rev.
T. Z Richey. OF the Temperance Adj
vance, Prof Hawkins. OF the Education>
al Department of the Herald, and several
other clever gentlemen, deserve a more
extended notice with kind wishes
for successful and prosperous future
for each, and q sincere hope that fortui-
tous circumstances may enable us to ex-
tend the friendships so pleasantly formed,
We beg them to accept the will for the
deed.
