The directors Of the Northern Pa

mittee Frederick Billings OF Wood
stock is chairman, have determined to
resume building operations, with the
view of completing the road 30 its
western terminus, already having let q
contract for 100 miles of new road
ives, of the Missouri. The company
has been reorganized, its old detaulted
interest and floating debt paid, and
large tracts of its land sold. If Con-
gress will now renew its old grants OF
land, Mr.. Billings and his coadjutors
think they can easily negotiate bonds
and stock, and secure money to com.
plcte their westward march. 1t was
the collapse of this enterprise, it will
be remembered, with the failure of

An INGENIOUS SwINDLE.--An ingen-
ious swinde is being perpetrated in
many New England towns, and simil'
ar calls may be expected in this Sec
ton. a man appears in a store, rep
rcsen,ing himself as a resident OF a
neighhoring town, aud calls for some
German goods or something which he
thinks the proprietor has not in stock.
Then he asks, will the merchant be so
kind as to order them for him, and
soon after an agent comes along with
the very same goods TO sell. After
the merchant has paid his money and
held the goods II few weeks, without
anybody calling for them, he begins
to realize that these men were acting
in concert and he has been neatly sold.
Drug stores are most frequently the
victims.
