A Farmer swindled Out of $500.

Bpecial to the Indianapolis Journal.
UNION CRY, Oct. I4.-William Cromas, a SUBJ
~stantial farmer living three miles northwest of
this place, was ''bunkoed" yesterday by three
nice young men. The old gentleman was worked
by two of the crowd, who went to him and pro-
posed to buy his farm, but before the contract
was closed the third man came up and offered a
better price. The contract was closed, the
money to be paid and land conveyed on the 18th
instant. But the pretended purchasers required
a guarantee of $500 that the farm would be con-
veyed, which the old gentleman gave. As soon
as they procured the money they departed for
a new field of operation.

N6W 1UTK SUM-.
Some people write as if New Workers. differ
from other men, and therefore Western aud
Southern men often seem to think that New
Workers look upon themselves as unlike their
fellows. But this is all bosh. 1t is hard to
speak of it and keep ones countenanee; it is
simply unmitigated bosh. New Workers are
precisely like other people. They eat the same
food, drink the same liquor, and like it just as
others do; they laugh at the same jokes-talk
about the same subjects. In TO way do they es-
s~entially differ from the people of San Francisco,
Chicago, st. Louis and New Orleans.
