Bogus Coin Collectors.

A gang of shsrpers are having success in
swindling game in the interior towns of
this state and have touched one or two
towns in this county. A well-dressed man
puts in an appearance at store and informs
the proprietor that he is searching for rare
coins, giving list of specimens and their
alleged value. he asks the storekeeper to
keep sharp lookout and in case he gets
any of the coins mentioned in the alleged
list to keep them until he returns, which
he says will be in a short time Soon an
other stranger casually drops in and buys
some little article, and, in making change,
exhibits several coins, which, he says, are
pocket pieces. The proprietor consults his
list and finds the value of the alleged
pocket pieces put down at $40 or SO each.
Anxious to make q good thing the store
keeper nearly always pays good big price
for the pieces. He then waits for the man
who made the temp ing offers, but he never
turns up. The trick was played on
Tamequa merchant about six weeks ago.
He was 50 mortified by the fAilure of the
coin gatherer to make any visit he kept the
affair secret until last week.

Set Him Right,

Geo. Augustus Ssla, the well known
English writer, on his last Australian trip,
wrote as follows to The London Daily Tel.
egTaPh;
II especially have a pleasant remem-
branse of the ships doctor--a very ex-
perienced maritime medico, indeed, who
tended me most kindly during a horrible
spell of bronchitis and spasmOdic asthma,
provoked by the sea fog which had swooped
down on us just after we left San Franciso.
But the doctors prescriptions and the in
creasing warmpth of the temperature as we
neared the Tropics and, in particular, a
couple of Alloock's Porus Plasters clapped
on-one on the chest and another between
the shoulder blades-soon set me right"

until the quitting hour in the evening, the
result of the days work being trench
ready for the sills and rails from Gilbert
to Main street. The frost is pretty we'll out
of the ground and excellent progress was
made.
Considerable complaint has been made
about the section of the road that was put
down on West Coal street when the former
superintendent had charge of the con-
struction, but there is no necessity for any
alarm. The section complained of will be
taken up again and relsid in satisfactory
manner, The company does not intend
that slip-shod work shall characterize the
road and everything will be done to com
ply with the wishes Of Council All work
will be pushed ahead as rapidly as possible
so as to give the people the benefit of the
road at an early day and enable the com
psny to push the construction to Mahanoy
City.
The construction of the road through
Girardville is going ahead very favorably
and in few days gangs will put the picks
into the ground west OF that place.
Wiring, ballasting and other fnal work
goes on steadily on the VIM. Penn, Lost
Greek and Rappshsnnock sections, and by
the time the West Coal street section is
improved the whole section will be ready
for travel.

In this country the children are to &c
