expressly for his own trade the "Senate"

lovers of the " weed." Good judges pro

WHAT THE CIRCUS COST—Under the above
caption the last Wellsboro, Agitator recounts
several rascally transactions by followers of
the Circus which visited that place hot week.
Here are some of them:
What we supposed might happen did hap
pen. Mr. Thomas Clark, a v ry respectable
farmer of Deltuar township, came to town
and a traveling cirrus hanger-on who reliev
ed him of $ 1.0(50. The transfer of the money
was e(rooted by a very simple confidence
game.
It secins that a stranger accosted Mr. Clark
on Main street, informing hint that, ite and
his father were engaged in buying cattle ex
tensively. and that lie wished to find some
farmer who was posted in the cattle business,
with whom he could make his headquarters.
Mr. Clark proved to be just his mat), for he
had catile to sell. The stranger t hen wanted
to know if the First National Bank was a
sound institution in which it would be safe
for his father to deposit his finds to be used
in the cattle business. Mr. C'latk assured
him that the Bank was :l || right. While Mr.
Clark was talking with the interesting stran
ger another man came, up and roughlv accos
ted the cattle buyer, claiming thai lie (stran
ger No. 2) could show more money than the
cattle buyer and liis friend, Mr. Clark, both
together. One word led to another, and
fin ibv the second stranger ofibred to bet S2OO
that the cattle-buyer couldn't show SI,OOO.
The cattle-buyer then took Mr. Clark one
side and told him confidently that the stran
ger had l>ea en him out of $2(8) a few days
before, and that here was a chanei to get
even with him. Mr. '.'lark thought ho could
soon raise SI,OOO, and it was arranged that
the cat tie-buyer should make the bet with the
stranger; that Mr. Clark should raise tin?
nionev to show, and that when the wager was
won the two should share the $2,0 equally
between tlieni.
Mr. Clark went to C. C. M*h r-to borrow
the SI,OOO, and that gentleman lent it to him,
joining liitn in making a hank note for the
sunt. Mr. Clark obtained the money, put
with it SOO dollars that lie had in his pocket
and went with his new friend to the circus
grounds to win the S2OO wager. The stran
ger was soon found, and the money was
shown to him. The stranger wanted to take
it to count; hut Mr. Clark was too sharp to
allow this, lie proposed to keep the moiiev
in his own hand and let the stranger count
otic end of the bills. The stranger proceed
ed to do this quite slowly and carefully, and
when he had got about half way through he
suddenly twitched the, bundle of hills from
Mr. lark's hand and ran off. Mr. Clark was
■considerably excited, us a matter or course;
but his friend assured him Hint the other man
was only playing him a silly trick, and that
be would soon be back with tho money. This
quieted him somewhat; but soon Li's friend
also disappeared, and Mr. Clark began to ful
ly realize that his tuouey was lost.
During the afternoon Mr. Clark went to a
barber and bad his whiskers shaved off and
otherwise disguised himself, hoping that he
might find the men who had robbed him. He
didn't find them, however, and the next day
he followed the circus to Addison, taking I.
M. Bodi lie, Esq., with him. But the search
.provedunavailing, and it is now evident that
Mr. Clark will never see his SI,OOO again.
Wednesday night after the circus a Middle
bury man, who had a little too much whis'
ky aboard and a pair of new boots on his feet,
was walking up Charleston street, when lie
met three men. One of the three said, "llow
d'ye do. uncle?" "iiovv d'ye do!" said the
Middleburv man. The three strangers stop
ped and looked at the man, the moon being
very bright. One of tlie three said, "You
have got, a new pair of boots, havn't you ?"
"Yes," said the Middleburv man. "And
tliev hurt vou. don't they!" "Yes," the man
admitted. * "Well, sit down here and we will
fix them so they won't hurt you," said tlie
sympathetic strangers. So the old gentleman
sat down on the bench in front of Rlberolle's
tannery, and the strangers pulled his hoots
off and walked awav with tlieni. They didn't
hurt his feet after that.
A colored man from Stokesdale came to
town on circus-day with $lO in his pocket.
He invested $8 in a new coat and the rest of
his money took him to Hie circus and bought,
him some liquid refreshments. Wednesday
night he went into the Riberolle Hoitse and
began to dance to the music of a violin that,-
otic of the showman was playing. Warming
up wit h the exercise, lie sat down and took
off his new coat and gave it to a stranger to
hol-l. When he grew tired of dancing he
turned to get his coat, and the stranger and
coat had disappeared. I
One of the workmen in the cigar factory in !
this borough went down to the Riberolle i
House to see the circus off. While crossing
the str et from the hotel to the depot, abou'
■twoo'clock in the morning, lie was knocked j
down and robbed of his watch and pocket'
hook. The unfortunate man whose name we ;
have not learned, was badly cut about the |
face. There were several other rows of less ,
importance; but it would bo tedious to detail,
them.

this place, have reduced their initiation fee
from SIO.OO to $5.00. This Lodge now lias a
