San Francisco has not vet been
cured of its love of titled aristocrats,
and therefore continues to be Il victim
of pretenders. The latest of these
was a clever rogue who called him.

quaintances in snobbish society, and
then pretended to fall dangerously ill.
He dictated letter to his father,
directing him how to make q remit
lance of $1,000. and induced the
young man who acted as his amanuen.
els to lend him 81, 900 until the
money came. Then he fenigned q
belief that he was about to die, and
made . will in which his San Fran.
cisco friends we're literally remembered.
On the strength of these bequeste he
borrowed numerous small amounts.
He has at last been exposed and ar.

A Rem afkabls Thief.

New hOrk sum-
The Eastern Penitentiary, Philadel-
phia, contains at this moment q re-
Earkable new arrival in the person of
George Woodward. aged about 40.
Woodward, when a boy. was engaged
in cattle raising with his parents, in
Ohio, and early developed an uncon-
querable propensity for horse stealing.
This brought him many years ago to
where he is now, but at the expiration
It his sentence his friends set him ND
in business, which he afterwards re-
linqnished in favor of his favorite
pursuit. and again returned to Jail
tor thirteen years. Although he has
no hands. only snlmps, he is 90 clever
workman that be surpassed all the
other convicts, and when he had
saved 5000 he sent for lawyer, who
contrived to get him pardoned, and
again he was started in business.
But he has been at it again in his old
line, though, apparently, under legal
advice. He stole a whole drove from
a Delaware county farmer, and the
low price at which he offered the ami
mails in Philadelphia led to his detec-
ton. He says that in stealing the
cattle all from one person he acted
Systematically. explaining that he
could be indicted only on one count un
der those circumstances. whereas, had
he taken the same number (eight) of
cattle from different persons he could
have been indicted and sentenced on
eight different bills, making his sem
tence equivalent to imprisonment for
life. Under his present sentence he
got the full extent of the Law Give
years.. though the farmer from whom
the cattle were stolen took pity on
him and did not press the case.

A Number OF improvements Con.
tempisted 1t this splendid
Summer Resort.

tensive improvements are contempla.
ted by the Sweet Springs company, and
that our beautiful summer resort is to
be made more beneficial to invalids,
and more attractive to sll classes Of
people, than it has ever been. Since
then, We have been placed more fully
in possession of the details Of the
company's plans. which include an
amply equipped medical department.
with a view Of making the wonderful
healin, powers of the water a more
conspicuous feature of their establish
ment than heretofore. To promote
this object, the splendid medicinal
water of the Akesion Spring, which
probably has not superior on the
continent. is to be brought up 10 pipes
to Sweet Springs hotel. and a thor
ough system of bathing provided-hot
and Geld baths. Turkish baths, in fact
any that may be desired. The ar
engagements for this purpose will be
extensive and complete. and the man.
agement such AZ to insure the best
possisble results to those who may seek
Sweet Springs with view to building
up wasted health and vitalizing ex-
hausted energies.
Another new feature is the subdi-
vision of the ground into lots, which
are sold to those who may wish them
for resident purposes. There are 1Ol
of these lots, each so by 100 feet,
