sWINDLING PIE FARMERS.
Sold Pianos and F1im-Flammed I'm
the Matter of Notes.

There is a new scheme I'm practice for
swindling the farmers of thelcountry. Word
of a successful working of it was received
yesterday by the police authorities. An
agent of a music house induced the farmer,
whose name was not given out, to buy a
piano, agreeing to take his notes at 8 per
cent. in three several payments. The notes
were executed, and a day or two after the
same agent called on the farmer and re-
ported that his house had concluded to re-
duce its interest rate from s to 6 per cent,
aud that 1t was not yet too late for the
purchaser of the piano to have the beneft
of the reduction. The farmer was pleased
with the idea, and, receiving back his three
s-per-cent. notes, as he supposed, he signed
new ones at 6 per cent. and destroyed the
notes delivered to him. These notes, how
ever, were forgeries. and later the farmer
found that here were two sets of notes
against him for the same piano. The notes
were disposed of in Danville, III. The agent
has disappeared.

Attempted Suicide.

Laura Wicklif. a young woman living at

precarious condition, and her recovery was
