accuracy in the astronomical calcu-

be valuable characteristics, while

gian, Swedish, Holland, Bohemian

APRosPERous FARMER BuNcOED.
He Was Relieved of $1,000 by Couple of
Sharpers.
One oliver S. Morris, who is STYLED

GhhiHtINs
One Oliver S. Morris, who is styled
a prosperous farmer, living at Myr-
tie Grove near Baleville, Sussex
county, N. j., recently buncoed a
couple of sharpers. Evidently Mr.
Morris reads the papers, and is up
to-date. 1t happened this way; A
portly, fine looking man called on
him representing himself to I've the
son of a prominent gentleman of
Deckertown, and desired to pur-
chase a farm. They walked around
and soon CHANGED to meet another
man who appeared to be intoxicated,
and wanted to bet on cards. As No.
2 seemed to be perfectly reckless,
and lost money all the while, No.
and Mr. Morris had easy game. Fin
ally No. 3 offered to bet large sum,
which No. I and Mr.. Morris could
not cover, but as Mr.. Morris had
money in the bank at Newton, he
proceeded there with No. / and
drew out $1,000. They then went
back to bluff No. ,. He did not
have so much money ON his person
but did have it in the Deckertown
bank, and proposed to put Mr.. Nor
ris money with considerable more
in tin box and leave it in Mr.. Nor
ris possession, while Nos. I and
went to get the money out of the
bank. The tin box was put under
the seat of Mr. Morris wagon, when
No. 1 who wanted to be perfectly
fair expostulated and said the bar
gain was that Mr.. Morris was to
have the box right in his hands, so
there could be no possible mistake.
No. then proceeded to hand the
box out from under the scat, and
gave it to Mr., Morris who drove
off happy, while Nos. j and 2 also
drove away after the money. Mr..
Morris soon met a neighbor who had
in some manner found out about the
racket and suggested to Mr.. Morris
TO examine the box. He did so
and it was found to contain a lot of
old papers, Atlast accounts he was
in search of his friends, but with no
success, they are doubtless looking
for other prosperous New Jersey
farmers who take the papers and
have plenty of money in the bank,
and want to beat them at their own
game.
