A couple of swintlers who accompanied
the circus that showed at McAlisterville a
few days ago, PLAYED the confidence game
nicely on a couple of citizens of Fayetie
township, whereby the swindlers realized
nearly one hundred dollars. 1t was now

to detect movements, but when he il brought
into contact with sleight- of hand perform

TO stand back.

The editor of the Lewistown Gazette took
1t quite TO heart that We noticed the pecu-
liar quality Of a coachman in Kishicoquillas
valley, in an article that we published after
a journey TO and from Belleyille. Our edi-
torial brother Of the Gaxefts must have just
awakened from a nap, and read our article,
or he never could have fallen into the mis-
take that he did, relative to the stagenan.
If an applicant for the position OF street.
car conductor can satisfy the management
of line that he can pack passengers as
sardines are packed, he is sure of a place !
such Credentials always win. Itwas a COM
piimcnt that we paid the man when we rec
ognized his talent for packing, but our
oid friend was too drowsy to see it. Never
mind. Wen do part of Lewistowp some time,
We hope, before he passes away, aud in
reading of the doings thereof, our old friend
will be wakened up fully. He Will have the
drowsiness sufficiently rubbed Off SO as not
10 mix things.
