else. Brobst permitted him to sell it,
and has yet to receive the first cent.
Dining a visit he informed Brobst that
the Government sei-urities were becom
ing worthless and tint the Allentown1
banks were failing, and that it would be
i advisable to remove the money he had ou
deposit here to a Philadelphia bank, the
two lots on the outskirts of the borough,

Brobst. Iu various other ways did the
villain defraud this weak old man out of
his money, without a suspicion of being
imposed upon arising in bis mind. But
the drawing of large sums of money from
the bank proved to be means by which .
his villainy was brought to an end. Ac
officer of the bauk, who knew of the dis
honesty of this pretended Doctor sent
word to Mr. Brobst that he could never
recover any money that ho would give
the Jew, which information opened the
old man's eyes. Complaint was then en
tered, and Roscuberg was arrested yester
day afternoon while attempting to take!
the train for Philadelphia, and brought
before Esquire Wittman, who held him
to bail in 5,000, in default of which ho
was committed to prison.
This Rosenberg is one of the veriest .
villains ever permitted to live; his appear-
jance is that of a man of low cunning,-and
cneaioii every one who would trust him.
W hat most surprises us is that men can
be found in this age of enlightenment so
stupid, so ignorant, as to believe these
vagabonds. We have civen but a brief
