The number of so-called railroad enter
ririses that have been engaged in, by which
people have been duped into the loss of
thousands of dollare, cannot be mentioned.
The liUiuber is largo. One of the favoi itu
Vnethois of swindle has been to ttart a
corporation, get people to aubsenbe to the
toucc-n, au- thus wort the business np to
a flirt irora wbich bonds may be issued.
The bonds are tben taken to some city, and
tlere, by the aid of men who engage in such
crooked ways, the bonds are sold for wbat
ev they will biing. Whatever they sell
for is clear gain, for the parties working the
concern have nerer bad a dollar in tbe en
torpriee, and never intend to have. The
whole foundalion npon which it has rested
fcis been the aubscrrptions of the people
along the proposed routes, and the pay
rccsts made on ssid subscnptioDS. People
have often thus been beguiled Into loaning
fheir Credit, and to the gfv ing or their booert
tneans to he echemesol unscrupulous men.
Does beguilement destroy contract t The
question now is, have the people between
this place and Seliasgrove ben beguiled
into helping the schemes oT a few men who
wish to ael! the bonds of the so-called S elins
grove and North Branch Bailroad 1
jThe connnone is Ihe enemy of every tnta
who by economy has saved a dollar fir a
"rainy day." It is the enemy of si) people
who fare money to boy property.
An item afloat reads thus: A movement

We don't understand why it is that a con

"What is a IIdlum ? The Phila
.lelpliia Lc&t!r answers the question.
The word "hoodlum" is used on the
Pacific coast as a descriptive term for
idle young rowdies of the kind that
make up the gangs of " corner
loungers" of our Atlantic cities. They
6tand about in groups in the disor
derly parts of all towns, and are very
fre with their foul tongues in making
offensive remarks npon all persons
passing by. If spoken to about their
conduct, they reply by repeating their
insults, and indulging in other ruf
fianism, including profanity, obscen
ity, and, not unfreqnently, actual ai
sault with fists, cluls and stones.
This tribe of rascally boys and young
men the Califxruians call 44 hood
lums." There is no peculiarity about
the matter but the name. There are
plenty of jast such fellows about tbe
outskirts of our large towns, and
small one too. The "hoodlum" is the
boy whose parents or guardian per
mit to rpow up and pass the years
from fifteen to twenty without work
at any useful occupation, idling away
his time by lounging about bar
rooms street corners and ''on the
lots" with other young rowdies and
blackguards." They are al wavs trou
blesome and sometimes dangerous,
for they always make up a large pro
portion ot every mob of rioters.
Theirs are are the idle and vicious
ban. In that are always ready for "the
devil's work."

or common jail, or to the supervisors

of the poor of the respeotive county,
city, borough or township frberoio sticb
persons shall be foudd." Here are
powers which, if exercised, are ample
to clear every township in tho county
of tramps. "Ail persons going about
