Of April last. Mr.. Schultz meditated upon
the good fortune which had so Unexpectedly
made him proprietor in mine of silver or
something else, until last Friday, when he
received a notice that he was assessed 81 per
share ON five shares of the companys stock
registered in his name, and he was politely
requested to remit So at once 10 II. F. Burt
nett, Secretary of the company. This last
communication put new face upon the mat
ter, and instead of sending So to the New
York swindlers, Mr.. Schultz, in imagination,
elevated the end of his dexter thumb to his
nose, and extended his fingers, with the hap
py consciousness that he had not been
caught in the skillfully- baited trap. At the
same time he is at loss TO explain how they
obtained his signature.
1t may be set down for rule that all
strangers who offer you something for moth

The Rail Road,
To tile Editor of Tile .Kgis /.

To Tie Edlt0T Of TIE HlgaS
SIR: Will not you throw a little light on a sub.
ject which is not yet quite plain to all ofus? You
say in your paper of last week that the Chief
Engineer estimates the cost of the road at some
thing over half million. Now, at former rates
of subscription, that would leave about SAGE, 900
to be made up by Hartford. The subscribers to
the Delta and York road are not likely to invest
much after their experience of that work, and
the owners of the Towsontown branch who have
notputi iron on their road though graded for eight
or nine years, would be in the same list. SO Har-
ford seems to be in for the lions share. Can you
tell us the amount subscribed on the various
parts of the line, say from Delta to Rocks of
Deer Creek, from Rocks to Bel Air, Bel Air to
Fallston, and also if Baltimore county means to
do its share? If we subscribe or borrow this
half million it will have to be paid, and if the
line should turn out as profitable as the York
and Delta, our county will not make very good
investment, nor will there be money left for a
better one IT.

With Jesus and loved ones to dwell;
With palms in our hands, in triumph to greet

An Attempt TO SWinlIe.

The fools are not all dead yet, else would
the race of swndlers cease to exist. The
latter are like the pestiferous horse nettle,
which as soon as eradicated in one place
breaks out in another. The latest scheme
for robbing the credulous has been brought
to our notice, and it gives us pleasure to ex-
pose the fraud.
A short time ago Mr.. Edward r. Schultz,
who lives near Monks's Store, above the
Hickory, received the following letter, headed
81. G. Keys & Co., Adjusters of Claims in the
United States and Europe" and dated at
New York. 1t contained the vtritable sigma
ture of Mr.. Schultz, apparently clipped from
some letter he had written:
DEAR SIR: Is this your signature on the
inclosed slip of paper ? If so, you are emit.
tied to a Certificate of Gold Mining Stock,
valued at $500. The money you sent in the
letter from which the enclosed slip was clip
ped, was invested on the general margin
principle, which resulted in lawfully securing
for you the certificate of stock referred to
above. Now, If you write to us, and return
the inclosed slip, so we can compare it with
your signature then we will be sure the prop
er party will receive the stock.
Respectfully,
&c KEYS & Co.
p. S. State whether you wish the stock
sent by reg istered letter or by express.
Mr.. Schultz had sent no money to such
firm, and to this unlocked for epistle, upon
the advice of friend, he replied that the
$500 certificate might be forwarded by reg
istered letter. Accordingly in few days he
received well engraved certificate of stock
in the "Silver Mountain Mining Company"
whose works, the certificate states, are To-
Gated at Wyoming, Carbon county" State

A TRIBUTE OF AFFECTIoN.-A Darling
ton correspondent says:
1t is in contemplation by the pupils of the
late John M. Cooley, Esq, to erect plain
and chaste tombstone to his memory, with
the following inscription:
"Here lies our Teacher, John M. Cooley,
late of the Darlington Academy, who died
April 10, 1878, in the SGD year of his age
In Loving Memory this Stone has been
erected by his pupils"
This inscription was suggested by casual
remark of the deceased, which showed the
honest pride he felt in his responsible and
difficult occupation, and the satisfaction he
experienced in meritng the affection of his
pupils. He was exceedingly averse to osten-
tation, and particularly requested that only
plain, simple, and inconspicuous stone
should mark his last resting place.
1t is to be hoped that his pupils, and they
form large body-and their parents, in the
cases of the minors will all contribute their
mite, only mite, toward the accomplish
ment of this beautiful and affectionate tribute
10 the lasting memory of him who has done
so much toward preparing them for sue
cessful struggle with the many difficulties
that hamper life. A general meeting of the
pupils, and all interested, will soon be called
to take action in the premises.
