Ine LintlsIeY BOYS.

The two literary societies of the
Lindsey Institute met yesterday after.
noon at the usual time. The literary
exercises of the Lindsey Society, taken
altogether were better, perhaps, than ever
before. The speeches delivered by
Messrs. Thomas, Campbell and Tingle
are worthy of mention Robert Mcclure,
who is noted for his sarcastic essays and
remarks, read one of the most sarcastic
essays that has ever been delivered in
the society. He confined himself
principally to answering the bitter at
tscks made upon himself in the first issue
of the Lindsey Bulletin. The original
Grafton upon the Improvement OF our
Country" delivered by Edward Thomas,
was well composed. Animated dis
cussions were held upon important mis-.
cellaneous business, after which the
society adjourned. After the adjourn
ment of the two societies, the military
companies OF the Institute were drilled
on the capitol square.

which is joined to an ash house that has
never been used. The flames were convey
ed to the kitchen, which is but few feet
from the coal and ash house. 1t Is
thought that children had been playing

Mr.. Cunningham had driven them away
once or twice before. The whole DANA

One day last week very snre"o
svindle was perpetrated on a promlnent
dry goods house of this city, the details
of which we give for the purpose o.
warning others from falling into the
same trap. The names are omitted az
the request of the parties interested.
An Island lady had bought dress pat
tern of cashmere at 81 % per yard MOI
being able to decide Just then how she
intended to trim it, the purchase OF Ina.
part was postponed for the present. Inc
next day. we believe, boy entered the
store and presented q note the substance
of which was an order for seven ysros OF
cashmere, like the dress pattern oough'
the day previous, and four yards OF gIo'
grain silk, and signed by the lady
The note was closely scanned by the pro-
prietor and clerks, and passed upon as
genuine and all right; so the goods were
cut of, wrapped up and handed 10 'he
youthful messenger.
A short time afterwsrd, into the store
stepped the lady who purchased the
dress pattern. The proprietor at once
inouiredIif she had received her package
"Whst pscksge?" was the surprised IN
terrogatory OF Mrs. -. Expisna-
tionsS were Immediately in order
and it didn't take long for Mr.. - tc
become enveloped in the consideration OF
a daring swindle, the efulgent rays OF
which were beaming into his optics with
unusual keenness. .
A messenger was sent in search OF the
youth who played his part in the trans
action, aud ere long returned with tne
lad. His straightforward story was &c
the effect that lady at the corner gave
him note to deliver and return with the
answer and he would get ht.y Genus
for his trouble.
He did as directed, and received the
money, and that was all he knew about
it, except that his employer WAS dressed
in black and wore long veil. The
writing on the note is quite similar &c
that of Mrs. -, who bought the dress
pattern, and demonstrates that whoever
the rogue is, she is familiar with the Ia.
dy's handwriting, and possesses the Skill
to initiate is.
Moral-Don't let your goods leave
your store until you know who's VINO
and what's what.
