NoRRIsTowN, Pa, April 0-In the latter
part of July, 1855 Jacob r. Refill a retired
wealthy farmer, at Center Square, this
county, was ilecced out OF $4,000 worth of
bonds by pair Of bunco sharpars who had
been negotiating with him for week be-
fore, and ostensibly with view to purchas-
ing farm in the neghborhood. The secur-
titles were principally certificates of the
Cincinnati Southern Railroad, and were worth
something less than their face value. Every
effort was made to gain clew TO the swind-
lers, but without success
About eight weeks ago Farmer Reilr re-
ceiyed call from well dressed stranger
who, after exacting every promise OF secrecy,
represented TO Refill that he was a New
York detective and could restore the bonds.
He said broker OF his acquaintance had
bought the bonds Of the sharpers and was
afraid 10 sell them lest he be arrested for the
swindle. The price asked for the return of
the stolen bonds was $1,000. Mr.. Reih de-
clinod 10 pay any such sum rs this. Several
consultations were held In the next few
weeks and finally IL was decided that
II the farmer would pay 1900, ask no
questions aud promise to make no effort 20
secure the arrest Of the pcrsons who had
sYindlcd him, the bonds would be restored.
Mr. RciiTs counsel, 10 has been asccrtained,
