ANOTHER SWINDL Notwithstanding the oft repeated warnings of the newspapers, unwary men continue! lo ermit themselves to be deluded by wily swlnd. era nnd confidence tricksters, A latch of fourteen promissory notes have been received at Ihe Honesdale Nations! Bank for collectioi from a Troy, N, Y., law firm. They wero pro. cured from Wayno county men last fall by i lightning rod aged. The mode of procedure was as follows i The agent supplied tho farm ers' buildings with rods and accepted In pay ment for tho same a promissory note, payable at tho farmer's house, Jan. 1, 1880, Then writ, ten agreement .was intend Into between the gent nnd tho lightning roil purchaser stlpi nlalliig that pnymcnt of Interest on the not only was to bo nked and that Ihe princlpa would not be demanded until tho expiration of ten years. Ui-on these ostensibly easy terms, sale) of lightning rods were mid rapidly. The notes thus procured pasted Into the hands of second and third parlies and on their wattir. ity there could be no other alternative than inymcnt, Ibo written agreement between tho agent and the firmer, providing that payment was not to bo demanded in ten years, of course being of no forco.

During the summer, as lone as tli C3- al is full, it is supplied with water from the canal, flowing into the reservoir at the head and out at tho lower end. During Ihe winter. when there is no water in the canal, there is generally from one to three and four feet of landing water ver the reservoir. It has been .1 fine harbor Cot various kinds of fish, and luring Ihe summer every year many were tak en out with rod and line. Lost week, however 11 Ibis was changed. A set of fish pirates were several days engaged at draining the res ervoir by digging an outlet sufficiently deep t tho lower end lo let all the water out into tho canal, thereby leaving all the fish in the reservoir exposed on top of the mud and pools, troops of people went down from town on Fri day to get fish. There they lay in scores nnd by schools by hundreds and by thousands. All parties had to do was to wade in and pick up Ihe hah as they lay helpless and powerless In many places they lay so thick that they were raked out with rakes I Many helped themselves lo strings of the very nicest; some carried away basketsful, and several parlies hauled wo wagon oads away j after which there were still many left, and many more were carries! ofl on Saturday. It is said that many thousands ofsmall fish were trampled in Ihe mud and otherwise destroyed, and of course what are now left will pcrisli for want of waler. It is claimed that In pursuance of an understanding the pirates had with our State risli Commis sioner, several bushels of small fish were car ricd into Penn's Creek. This trespass upon the canal company's property may make one nice question to settle, and the violation of the fish laws another There is certainly here a big opportunity for Ihe vindicators of the law and the rights of properly.

Tho costume of the Oil I-olkes" was worn, and created much amusement and admiration. The ladies appear- d in old fashioned dresses, some ot which were quite as becoming as Ihe lluffi and tbu nets of the present day. The gentlemen wore knee breei lies and ruffles and powdered wigs, The tresses of the Quartette Club were gorgeous and very becomiug lo the wearers. They were inporlcd for the occasion. The choruses were well sung, the ploying or .Mr. nnd .Mrs. v irt on the "Harpsichord and fiddle," was dor o with much expression, as was also the Wedding March, by Misses Freeze and Llwell, and Mr. Wlrl, The singing of the Quartette Club pleased the audience, as it al- was does, and the soloes of Mrs. Grolz and Miss Browtreio beautifully rendered. Mr. Win sang "Nancy Lee" yery nicely, nnd was en cored, as uere several other pieces on the pro gramme. Miss I reeze and Mr. Wells sang "Ueuben and Itachel" in Quaker costume, and brought down the house. Misses I rower and Freeze, and Messrs, Wirt and Towns-nd ren dered "Come where my love lies dreaming" in excellent style. Tho singing of "Itussia" by the old fishloned choir was very funny. Miss Annie Sloan played a solo on tho piano and displayed much skill in Its execution. There are not many towns that can furnish ma terial for an amateur concert that would sur pass tiiia ono. The entire performance would have done honor to a professional Iroupe. The credit of the entertainment belongs principally lo P, E. Wirt. Esq., who gave his lime and ef forts lo (lie arrangement and preparation of the piogramme, and who pushed the matter through when others seemed somewhat Indif ferent, While all Ihe others worked assiduous' ly to make it a success, the Sunday school would probably not have received this benefit hut forhU efiorts.
