A curious case of child selling has
just occurred at Horsham, Eng. Two
young women, one Of them a mother,
called at a public house in East street
for refreshments. A dealer we'll known
in the neighborhood vas present and
took a fancy to the infant the mother
was carrying. Conversation issued,
terms were offered, and ultimately a
bargain was struck, the mother &C.
cepting It's I'd for her offspring. The
dealer, seemingly we'll satisfied with
his purchase, left the house but the
woman Immediately followed the mau,
snatched the child away, slapped his
face and decamped.

In answer to a thousand and one queries.
The mammoth horse shoe hangs over the
sidewalk at the Peabody corner. Each
and every customer trading at Kirkland's
is privileged to guess its weight. No ex-
ira charge. No lottery. No drawing;
perfectly innocent and amusing. The
guess is registered on a check which IS
given to the customer, leaving a duplicate
stub. The horse hoe will be unlocked
on January /, 1880, at II o'clock, in the
presence Of five good and true citizens
and weighed, the check having the near
est guess takes the $50 bond, next the gold
watch and third the gold-headed cane.

SwindlerS.

Some time last winter two gentlemanly
looking men came to Ellton and spent some
days, frequently hiring Il team and driving
around the upper part of the county, where
they represented that they We're the pat
entecs of an improved pruning knife, which
they were trying to introduce among the
farmers of the county. In the course of
their perambulations through the county
they induced Henry Biddle, VIM. j. Smith
and James Smith to sign what purported to
be agreements for the sale of the pruning
knives, and which gave the parties named
the exclusive ri ght to sell them in certain
districts of the county. The agents Were
offered very liberal inducements to engage
in the business, but it somehow turned out
that instead of signing agreements they had
signed promissory notes for the payment of
sums, ranging from 81 to $50.
The two gentlemen probably bein. anx-
ious to know about the success of their
scheme, showed some of the notes to one of
the lawyers living i'll Elkton and asked him
about the S"lvency Of the makers. This
excited the suspicion of the legal gentleman,
and he communicated with the Sheriff. 4
few days afterwards Mr. Smith was in town
and Sheriff boulden learned the ftctS rs
before stated from him.
Arrangements We're then made to arrest
the twain, but they made their escape to
Delaware and were not heard from till Sat
urday last, when Joseph II. Beckett, carriage
maker from Smyrna, Del. came to Elkton.
This gentleman stated that the two knife
agents had purchased two carriages from
him that morning, which he had not yet
delivered to them, and had transferred to
him four promiSsory notes in payment for
them. Two of these notes purportcd to
have been made by parties in Kent county,
Del. One of the other two by a Mr.. Harris,
living near Mechanics Valley, and the other
one by another citizen of this county, whose
name we have been unable to ascertain.
Mr.. Harris was sent for, and the result of
the interview between him and Beckett was
of such a nature that he telegraphed to his
agent ut Smyrna not to ship the carriages to
Philadelphia us the SwindlerS had directed.
Mr.. Beckett afterwards went to Whining
ton with Il view of having the two swindlers
arrested, but owing to the trouble and eN-
pense incident to Il prosecution of the ease
concluded not to do SO, and returned to
Smyrna on Sunday.

In answer to question by Mr.. Bi,ldle,
counsel for CavendeS, witness said the writ
ing on the card was not the handwriting Of
John Cavender.
Anthony Reybold was shown the card
and said he believed the writing WAS that of
Mr. Cayender's son Aleck: that he had seen
him write, and had specimen of his writing
i'll his pocket, which he produced and COM
pared with the writing the card, and
said that from the similarity of the two he
believed them to be identical.
In answer to Il question by the Commits
sioner, Mr. Eeybold said that Mr. Woodall
had made ont statement torMr. Cavender
and one for him, and it was tiat paper that
Mr.. Cavender wished Mr.. Cannon to pro-
cure for him, and that this VAS he paper
referred To in the card.
\. 2. Barwick, postmaster at Chesapeake
City, testified TO the fact that he nd placed
the Chesapeake City post mark on'he card,
and there was no other post mare ol the
card ut the time. He also testified % can
ceiling the stamp on the card. Had cen
Alexander Cavcnder write and nelicved he
writing on the card to have been written "
him.
John Cavender said he was at Mr.. Cal
mons and got the card from him and took ii
home: that he knew nothing more about it;
that he did not send it to Mr.. Reybold, nor
procure anyone else to send it. He also tes-
titled that his son Alexander was in Alex
andria, Virginia, at the time that the card
was mailed in Chesapeake City, and i'll his
opinion could not possibly have written and
mailed the card.
Mr.. Mccullough dismissed the case for the
reason that there was 10 evidence that the
card had been postmarked at Delaware City
when first mailed by Mr.. Reybold, for this
reason he believed no conviction could be
had for using the card in question twice.

Peddlers in Trouble

Lewis Spaareo, j. Silverman and 5. Moch-
into trouble, last Tuesday, by peddling tin
ware without license. Lewis Spaareo came
from Baltimore to Chesapeake City, on Mon
day night, on an Ericsson steamboat and
began business the next morning. He was
selling goods for $. ChildS X Co., of Balti-
more, and had permit from justice of the
peace, authorizing him to sell for his en-
ployer in that city. The other two live in
Philadelphia and came to Newark, Del,
on the cars on Monday, and Immediately
where they commenced business, on Tues
day morning, but We're soon afterwards ar
rested by Constable Grant for pcd,lling
without license. The unfortunate trio had
Il hearing before Justice Howard, on Tues
day, who committed them to Jail in default
of a fine of SD each and costs amounting to
about Sl2 in each case.
Most of the above statement was obtained
from the parties named in it, but it is the
opinion of the Sheriff and the Justice that
Baltimore firm. The Sheriff has Il bill in
his possession for ten dollars worth of tin
ware that Spaareo bought of Childs 4 Co.,
and it may interest our readers to know
that one of the items in the bill is Il charge
of thirty cents for one dozen tin cups. The
other tin ware was sold quite as cheap.
With a view of learning something more
about the case, Sheriff Boulden telegraphed
to Childs 4 Co., i'll Spaareo'S name, stating
that he was in Jail and asking Childs to aid
him in getting out. Shortly afterwards he
received the following reply:
BALTIMORE, May, 18th, 1879
LEWIS here is your license
Has it run out? Let me know at once
Get some one to read this and write Il reply.
Yours, RoBT. DEW. CHILD.
From the above it seems plain that the
Jews were peddling without license with
full understanding of the requirements of
the law. They are still in Jail and likely to
remain there.
Yesterday morning, another Jew, who
says his name is Lewis Gardner, came to
Elkton with a lot of IL lies re1,ly-lu ,dr
and began TO paddle it around the
town. Iiailitf Shocklcy arrested him and
Justice Howard committed him in default
of the same fine and cost; Is in tn. other
cases.
All of them are confined in the same cell,
and are anxious for the presence of six more
OF their countrymen, so that-one of them
being a Wss"n, that Is, Il leader of Il choir
in a Jewish synagoguc-they can worship
