A swindle is being extensively practiced in this wise : A man well dressed and with a business-like air calls
1 upon the people and represents himself as a government detective or
agent, with the statement that there
is much counterfeit money in circulation and requests them to show what
coins they have in their possession.
He then uses a chemical, which turns
the coins black, declares it spurious,
and takes it away with him. The
victims say nothing for a time for
fear of being arrested for having
counterfeit money in their possession,
and by this time the swindler is far

A new law enacted by the last legislature provides that justices shall keep
a record of the drunks that come before them, and when the same man
shall come for the second time within
a year, he shall be bound over to the
circuit court and then he may receive*
a two year's sentence to the workhouse.
Only one drunk a year'now is lawful.
'Tis a vain trick to ask the ladies of
any church to have a birthday social
and give a penny for every year of
their lives. Better reverse the thing
and ask everybody to give a penny for
every year they are under seventy.
Men could join in pouring in the cash.
The old folks would be pleased at getting off easy and the young would rejoice in having so longa score between
themselves and the seventies.
It is ruled by the postal authorities
that any reduction of the size of the
postal card by clipping, rounding off
the corners, or otherwise, will subject
the receiver of a .card to a charge of
one cent on delivery. This makes a
postal card equivalent to letter postage. Many people enclose postal cards
to correspondents in envelopes too
small, and imagine that a little clipping will not make any difference.
Others round ofl the corners for ornamental purposes or convenience in
■infir.   Don't do it again.
