Another Case of Re
turning That Which
Was Lost"
What n Little Bird" Saw
In Connection Win the Aforesaid
"Returning''-knig nights OF Pythias
Have IN Inters sting Meeting.

Some days ago attention was called tC
one of "The Masters" who appears &C
have taken up his residence here and
who dupes people by telling them he car
find and return lost money. The News
in its issue OF the 7th inst. referred TO a
case where "The Master" or Professor
had given, in consideration OF so, a man
who had lost some money, a note pay
able at the First National bank twenty
days after date, December,.22, as far az
we can bear the note ia still unpaid, and
when the man who lost the money asked
for the return of the fee he had paid, the
$40 above mentioned, he was politely or
otherwise ordered out of the room by the
professors valet. Another case has
come 20 light, in which 1t appears a man
who had lost some money applied tothe
professor, who said be could get the
money returned. a little bird connected
with the News, who saw part
OF the performance, reports that
the professor hired cutter and was
driven oyer TO the Laurium, passing the
old depot just upon the arrival of the
o'clock train from Red Jacket. He was
then driven back and on reaching the
depot man all muffled up stepped off
the platform and handed theprofessor an
envelope and which the professor took TO
his lodgings and opened in the presence
of the man who had lost the money, and
there was sum equal TO the one that
had been lost. The landlord was then
called in and was a witness 10 the return
OF the money-which was supposed 10
have been returned by the muffled-up
man.
The man who lost the, imoney says be
knows the professor handed back to him
the amount lost, and does not care how
or where he got il.
The little bird who reported the above
to the News got some snow in his eye
and was not, therefore, able to recognize
the man who was muffied up.
1he little bird also reports that several
ladies part OF Houghton's 400, are
known TO consult the professor and one
man in Calumet, who is in a good posi-
ton, frequently consults the professor.

sum, 5000, was paid to him by another
in consideration Of his vote for Hcitfeid
