1mpudent swInd,er.

The doings of a bold and i~nsolent
swindler, who made Woodstown his field
of work several days last week, have been
reported to US, and though TOO late to
warn our t~ownspeople of the fraud, We
give him the benefit of this publicity,
hoping that surrounding towns may escape.
The man was OF neat appearance, and
seemed to %confine his operations to houses
where the women were alone. His game
was to take four papers Of needles from
his pocket and stating that they contained
money prizes Of 800 and less, offer them
for one dollar. If the offer was not
accepted. he would offer three for IS cents,
two for 80 cts, or one for 25 cents. which
was the lowest offer he made, and if the
latter was not accepted he would open fire
on his defenceless customer with a torrent
of abuse and oaths, in many cases actually
frightening women into purchasing the
needles. Some of the papers contained a
few pennies, the S1.00 prizes, of course,
being only in the swindler's mind. After
operating hereabonts for several days, the
borough authorities were notified of his
doings, and Mayor Richman authorized
his arrest, but he disappeared before that
could be effected.

High Prices for Potatoes.

Potatoes have reached a price at which
it will Pay to import them," said Mr..
Thomas G.. Davenport, a Philadelphia
potato dealer, on Saturday. THE whole
sale market price to-day is 81 and S1.10,
and at that price potatoes can come in from
foreign sections and pay the duty of %
cents a bushel, and leave a profit to the
importers" he continued. Potatoes are
now arriving in New York from Scotland,
New Brunswick and all points across the
Canadian border, and it is expected that
later ON they will be imported direct to
this port"
Upon being being asked the reason OF
the high price prevailing, Mr.. Davenport
said: "The crop is short, it is true, but
not to such an extent as to warrant the
high prices prevailing. Farmers and
spectators are holding back their stocks
with a view OF creating still sitter prices,
and that creates a scarcity. These stocks
have got to come into the market soon,
and | think potatoes ave o reached the
highest mark for tue season"
