THE MARKET this morning was poorly
supplied, the snow Of last night preventing
all hut a few country people from attending
and bringing with them their produce.
The attendance of buyers was also slim,
only those whose larders were completely
exhausted turning out in the inclement
weather to replenish them. Prices were
about the same as last week, though there
was downward tendency, those having
anything to sell being in hurry to dispose
Of their stocks and get out of the cold.

A FARMER VIcT1MzED by SHARPER
farmer living in Hartford county, near the Line
Bridge, was lately swinded by ii sharper, in
way so common that 1t seems strange any one
could now be taken in with it. The rogue pre-
tended to be establishing agencies for the sale
of the Champion hay fork. The commissions
were to be IS upon each hay fork sold The
farmer consented to act as agent and signed a
pretended agreement. The confidence man,
who was very pleasant in his manners and i'm
pressed people with his honesty, left with the
agreement. Shortly afterwards Messrs. Blaine
u Lloyd, of Delta, received q letter from
Baltimore bank, inquiring as to the financial
standing of the farmer who signed the agree
ment. The report was favorable and 1t is stat
ed that the bank thereupon discounted note
for $3.50 purporting to have been signed by the
farmer. 1t seems that instead of signing an
agreement the farmer had iDgeniously been
made to Sign promissory note. He has proof
ofthe agreement, but will probably be compel
led to pay the note when due.

AN UNEXPECTED MEETING Cen Bradley T.
johnson, who recently returned from a trip
through the West, wrote some very entertain
ing letters to the Baltimore Sun. In one of
them he describes meeting with Hartford man
in the far-of territory of Oak ota. Gen. John
son says:
Yesterday, went to the mail car to post my
usual daily mail, when the agent addressed me
by my name.
"How are you this morning?" says he. If
had been lassoed by a cowboy, l could not
have been more surprised.
who are you?" said 1. sob, l know YOU"
said he. "My name is Wells l came from Har-
for county, and / am a friend of MIR. Archer -
and his eyes glistened and his face shone as he
recalled the beautiful village of Bel Air and the
fertile fields of old Hartford. He brought back
to me in flash the genial faces of Herman
stump and Major Lee, of Tom Hopkins, of both
the Archers, and the other good men of that
gallant county.
