Steerers.

Our WATERFORD correspondent writes:
THE latter part of last week a gentleman
came to East WATERFORD on the morning
train from Portland, hired a team of Edward
Hanson. the stable keeper, and went to the
farm of Mr.. l. n. Deering on behring's
Ridge, Eand introduced. himself, stating that
he was very much interested in agriculture.
Mr.. Deering kindly showed him over the
farm, spending about two hours time. Dur
ing their CONVEX sation the stranger in
quired particularly about Mr.. David Deer
ing, wealthy farmer and a relative. of Mr..
/. N. Deering. The stranger then drove
back tosEast WATERFORD. left the team and
went on his way.
Last Monday morning two gentlemen
came to East WATERFORD on morning train
from Portland zone being our agricultural
f1iend) and hired team Of Mr.. Hanson
to go to David behring's. They were par
ticular toshave wrench and oil can put
intosthe buggy evidently intendingsto drive
a good long distance if their plans worked
satisfactorily. They started out together,
but only one of them went to Mr.. Deering's
house, this one no doubt being 1.-The one who
had visited Mr.I. N Deering.the week be-
fore. This time however .he was in the
banking. business in Portland, and was in
town for the purpose of taking a mortgage
on the farm of one Nathan Cluf. He was
DESTROYS of looking the farm cover, and
wished toshave Mr.. Deering go with him
and show him the boundarr lines. This
Mr.. Deering consented 1 to do, and they
drove off, and soon came to two roads. one
leading to the Cluff house and the other
leadingsaround on the back side of the
farm and through piece of woods. The
latter was the one our banking friend
wished to take, as he stated that he did
not care to .have Mr.. Cluff know that he
had been looking the.farm over. They had
driven well into the woods when they met
a man walking, who stopped them and
stated that he WAS free hearted Southern
er, had plenty of money producing a big
roll of bills) and wanted to get rid of some
of it. Taking out three cards he asked Mr..
Deering to draw. Mr.. Deering stated that
he never gambled, but finally at the earnest
request of the banker, drew one, and as
luck would have it a winning one. Our
Southern friend then wagered SIS tiat he
could not draw the same card again. Mr..
Deering again was in luck, and the money
offered. but he would not take IL, stating as
before that he was no gambler. Our friend
now staked a thousand dollars that Mr..
Deering could not win again. Mr.. Deering
drew and won. but before our free hearted
friend would hand over the money ne
wanted to see Mr.. behring's money. Mr..
Deering told him he had only few cents
with him. He then wanted check, but our
banking and agricultural friends had struck
the wrong man, and got no money or
checks. They were about to drive off and
leave Mr.. Deering to walk home. but he
told them he was lame and that they must
take him to his home. which they did. The
team was returned to Mr.. Hanson and the
fellows loft for parts unknown.
