A swlndler's Work.

On last Friday q young man from Roa-
noke, of neat appearance, and apparently
not over twenty-one years of age, called
upon Mr.. M. l.. Coyner, booi1-keeper at the
Augusta National Bank, whom he knew,
and requested loan. Mr.. Coyner accepted
his check drawn on a Roanoke bank, and
handed over the cash. Later in the even
ing Mr.. Coyner saw his man in an intoxi-
Gated condition on the streets, and becom-
ing suspicious, telegraphed to Roanoke
regarding the check, The banks answer
came, that there was not a cent on their
books tohis credit. With the telegram in his
hand, MI. Coyner went in search of the
swindler, found him, and confronted him
with the proof of his guilt. He was
promptly arrested, but shortly after
released through the interposition Of
parties here, who went his security.
No sooner was he at liberty than
he at once began, on smaller scale, to
victimize other parties in the same way !;
but finding that his game had been again
discovered, left the city Monday evening,
on foot, for Charlottesville. AT that place
he was arrested the next day and brought
back here for trial. The frauds perpetrated
were satisfactorily settled, but it was with
money secured from other dupes, as
afterwards appeared. However, when
these last offenses were made known, he
had fled to parts unknown. The police
think he is the same party that gave so
much trouble in Lynchburg, about two
weeks ago. In that place he drew several
checks, and got MI. Jno. kirkpatrick to en-
dorse them. The Lynchburg banks sent
them to Roanoke for collection and they were
protested, for the maker had no money on
deposit. Mr.. kirkpatrick went to Roa-
noke promptly and adjusted the matter:
but was detained longer than he expected,
missed the train he intended to return on,
and took the next, which went down in the
wreck at Thaxton s on the n. & W., that
terrible night, and was killed. Thus did
the swindler's acts end at Lynchburg.
There is no charity in concealing the his
tory of such dishonesty; but a kindly feel
ing for the respected family and relatives
must, for the present, serve as an excuse
fol- suppressing his name.

Bear shooting In India.

was NICE present at a great fair at

a bear was viewed ON the neighboring
hillside. | hurried up with my rifle
and shot him from above between the
shoulders, but, instead of dropping,
he rushed headlong into the middle Of
the fair aud ~squatted in a bush. The
people foolishly crowded round and
so prevented my getting shot. Pres
emily he rushed forth, and, passing a
grain dealers shop, he gave the own
er a slap on the face and passed on,
but that slap took out a semicircle of
his jaw with seven teeth attached
The mans nerves were so little affect
ed that he presently held up the piece
of jaw for our inspection when we
visited him at the hospital, and he was
at his work again in a few days.
The bear was soon dispatched after
he left the poor grain dealer. Though

Apoplexy.

A blood vessel Of the brain has lost
some Of It's elastic strength; food is
abundant; digestion is good; blood is
made in abundance, but little is work
ed of by exercise; the tension on every
artery and vein is at a maximum rate;
the even circuitous flow is temporarily
impeded at some point, throwing a
dangerous pressure on another; the
vessel which has lost its elastic
strength gives way, blood is poured
out, a clot is formed which, by its
pressure on the brain produces com.
plete Inconsistencies. This is the
apoplectic stroke. II will be perceiv-
ed that there are two leading condi-
tons upon which the production Of the
stroke depends-a lessened strength in
the vessel and an increased tension on
it.-Hal's Journal OF Health.
