A VERY SIMILAR ToRY.-Mentlon was
made In the Dispatch yesterday, in the
Danyille letter, OF a deaf and dumb man
named Elliott who had been attacked with
an epiIeptlc fit. Elliott stated that he was
from Mobile, was sbip-builder. and had
been blown up in a steamship explosion.
The description Of the man and his story
agree perfectly with that published in the
Dispatch February 18th OF man calling
himself John Forrest. also mute, who was
attacked in the same way at Libertytown,
Nd, and who told similar tale, except
that bis family resided in Richmond. The
extract published in this paper was taken
from the Libertytown (Md.) Herald. No
such name as John Forrest, ship-earpenter,
appears in any Of our city directories. The
man is evidently afflicted, and probably de-
serving OF sympathy and aid; but il he is
the same one he is to be censured for sailing
under sundry names and hailing from divers
places.
