LANCASTER DAILY INTKU.IKV'KK WEDNESDAY JULY 5. 1882. A BOLD SHABPER HE FLEECES SOME KCBAL UHB8. Caught tor Uer Eleven Tnoiuaud uoliiur. Iu the early part of June a sharp young man paid a visit to three old residents of Mouut Joy township and left an impres sion which will last for a long time. He traveled on the common but euphon ious name of Smith Amos C. Smith, of Philadelphia. He claimed to represent a manulactoiy which turned out wooden wares in the Quaker city, and the woeds in the vicinity or Milton Giove had just the material he had long been looking after. John Balmer, of near Miltou Grove, Andrew Hcisey, of near Oberholtzer's school houso and Abraham Herr, who lives not far from the Hcisey homestead on the road leading from Elizabetbtown to Milton Grove, are tho men who owned the lumber. The alleged agent was not slow in driv ing a bargain and it was no close one. He offered good prices, at the late of $100 for three trees. At these figures the above named persons readily sold the timber and in order to clinch the bargain Smith paid to ono man $3, to each of the other two $5. on the purchase, and in order to ac count for the outlay to his employer asked for a receipt. This seemed to be a square transaction and Mr. Balmer wrote his name, not onco but twice on what he sup posed was a receipt. Tho sti auger was accompanied by a man from Elizabeth town who placed his autograph on tho paper as a witness to the transaction. Very little more was thought by the far mer of tho transaction. On last Saturday, however, his atten tion was called to the affair, when Addi son Eby, esq., of Elizabetbtown, and John Dennison, formerly of that placc,now . of Westminster, Maryland, called on Mr. Balmer and presented a note of $1,800 for payment, the note having fallen due about that time. Tho gentleman knew nothing about the note,- but tho visitors insisted that he did and wanted it paid, or ac knowledged in some way or other. They referred to a letter they had sent him on Friday, but Mr. Balmer not haviug been to the postoffice, knew nothing about it. He did not pay it, neither did he acknowl edge that he ever sigued such a paper They threatened to institute legal pro ceedings against him for the amount of the claim. Buttbatisnot tho worst of it. The gentleman interviewed 'Squire John 11. Zoller, of Mount Joy, on Monday noon. They tried to keep reticent about tho affair, but our correspondent learned from them that this man Smith has sold notes whoso aggregate ia the snug sum of $11,100. The ono for $1,800 against Balmer was tho first to fall due and at auy time notes for tho other part of the amount are likely to turnup. Smith is about 28 years old, of a vciy pleasant address and ho speaks the Eng lish and German languages fluently. It is said that to persons who bought the notes from him Smith represented that he sold Western land to tho farmers and took their notes iu payment. It is prob able that bo sold them at a big discount. Tho victimized citizens since they sec the game tako things coolly. They will fight hard before they will pay a cent. They are men, at least two of them, of considerable means. THAT BIU BILL. The Work for TOMcta McBtellen cot 81,800 On Monday afternoon John L. Miller and J.

Nov. 1st, 1878. A. Bitkei:, Esij., Manager : Dear Sir: Iu answer to jour inquiries ol Oct. 28th, I have to say that 1 was absent on my recent European tour just four months, traveling a distance of 12,010 miles. I carried with me a watch mado at the Lancaster Watch Factory. Before starting I set it to the time of the Pennsylvania Ratlioad. It was never changed during the entire nip, 'and UPON MY RETURN. IT WAS ON THE MINUTE WITH THE SAME RAILROAD TIME. When at Geneva, Switzerland, with a dozen or mora American friends, I vi-ited the cele brated Watch Factory of Patek, Philippe & Co., whose American agents are tho great house ot Tiffany & Co., Now York. After be ing shown through the factory, we wore con ducted to the Salesroom, where our attention was called by the Superintendent to a latge number ot very lino watches, the product of the establishment. He also gave us his reasons for thinkingthat better watches could be made in Switzerland than In American. When he had concluded, 1 handed him my Lancaster Watch aud asked him what ho thought ot it. Alter examining It with the eye ot an expert, and with marked Interest, he replied, speak ing at brief Intervals: "1 HAVE a EVER SEEN THIS WATCH BEFORE IT IS A GOOD WATCH IT IS BETTER THAN THE WALTHAM-1T IS THE BEST WATCH MADE IN AMERICA." What adds force to his opinion is the fact that he had carefully studied all the finest American watches ex hibited at our Centennial Exposition. All my friends heard the remarks abovo quoted, and will vouch lor the accuracy ot my report ot their.. Yours truly, J. 1'. WICKERSUAM. This opinion was again expressed with even stronger emphasis to a party of Ameri cans recently travcliugin Switzerland. Under itateot "Geneva, August 2, 1831," Miss L. B. Gara writes, in a letter published in the Lan caster iVcifl Era: "Mr. Perrine bought two liandsomo watches lrom the leading manu facturers here, and Dr. Hampton, ot our party, showed them his Lancaster Watch. They ex amined It and said it was tho best American watch they had ever seen ML) CH SUPERIOR TO ANY OTHER MADE IN THE UNITED STATES." Second Letter (1882) Next Wf k. LANCASTER, PA.

When I got back the skill was so full of fear stricken passengers that I knew it would sink, so I jumped into the river and struck out for the West Virginia shore.
