The grounds of the St. Gecrge and St. Andrew's Athletic Society, in the North eastern portion of the city, are lying idle and the fences around them are going to pieces. Has the Society died ' a natural drath or will the members reorganize for the summer campaign?! Receipts or Corn.,. Seven cargoes of corn, aggregating 17,- 390 bushels, arrived here yesterday. One cargo of 3,700 bushels was sold for 58 cts., cash, another "of 2,700 -at 59 cts., cash, and still another cargo of 3,200 bushels was sold at 50yeonts, cash. Four cargoes. comDrisinir 7.790 bushels, have been taken in store. ; Look Out. Counterfeit trade dollars have been discovered in circulation at New York, as they have been in Baltimore. Their annearance is said to be erood. aud it is A A r I. hard to detect them. The bad pieces are nearlv twentv crains liah'er than the genuine, and a very little smaller in size. Thev have been so far chiefly distributed among the small grocery stores. Bellevue Cemeteiy. Within the past three or i four weeks 'many beautiful improvements have been mado in Bellevue Cemetery. Tasty marbles have been erected, magnolia and other beautiful trees have been planted and the young-shrubs and evergreens which were planted i some mouths ago are growing nicely. The natural beauties of Bellevue arc many and in a few years we expect to sec it one of the attractions of the city. The company contemplate building a lodge on the grounds at an early date and will erect little summer houses for the convenience and comfort of visitors. I The Bell Punch !

Some days ago we had occasion to speak of a petition which was sent to Raleigh for signature, praying the Reve- mm Dftnartment to have tho revenue cutter Stevens sent back to the waters of ! . i Eastern 'Carolina. The petition originated in Newborn or VV ashington, JN . C, and at the time we wrote we were under the im pression that by.having the Stevois sent back to the waters of Eastern Carolina ! f the revenue cutter Colfax would bo or dered to some other station. I The Stevens is not a sea boat and was only intended to be kept in tho sounds which, in revenue parlance, is one station -and the Colfax is an another. We hope under the circumstances, that the pe titioners will have their petition granted, for in fact the Stevens should not have been taken off. ! Consumption Cured. An old physician, retired from practice, having had placed in his bands by an East India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy, for the speedy and permanent cure of consumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma, and all throat and lung affections, also a positive and radical cure for nervous debility; and all nervous complaints, after having tested its, wonderful curative powers in thous ands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows. Ac tuated by this motive, and a desire to re lieve human suffering, I will send, free of charge, to all who desire it, this recipe in German, French, or. English, with full directions for preparing and using, j Sent by mail by addressing with stamp,; nam ing this paper. W. W. Sherar. 126 Pow- lers' i Block, Rochester, N. Y. 4w lETIEW I ' 4 .M I , I i . . : Swindlers Exposed. . Elias & Co , who hhld lorth at the corner f Twenty-first streets andBroad way NewYowk ho have previce.v lybeen detected in several swindling schemes, have again come to the Iront as the following clip ping from a New York paper will show A week ago Superintendent Walling received the following communication from Mr. H. D. B i Cutler, editor of the G len wood (Mo.) Criterion : ! March 2, 1878. Superintendent of Police, New York. Sib : iou will find with this one of a number of circulars that have been re ceived in this neighborhood. Will you please investigate Clark & Co. an'dj letm'; know the result. It may be the means of saving a few dollars to the idiots who send for certificates. Truly yours, II. D B. Cutleu. About the same time a similar letter was received from Mr. II. Brace, Fall River, Mass. accompanied bv a circular from the same firm of Clark & Co. refer red to in the Missouri editor's communi cation. The circular is'as follows: 1,267 Broadway, New Yokk, 22d February, 1878. f II. Brace, esq. Dear bin : Is this your signature on the inclosed slip of paper? If so, you are entitled io a certificate of gold-mining stocK vaiuea sn iuu. no money you . 1 111 sT?- a. V-V1 sent in the letter from which the inclosed slip was clipped was invested on the gen erai margin principle, wmcn resulted m lawfully securing for you the certificate of stock referred to above. Now, if you will write to us and return the inclosed slip, so wo can compare it with your signature, we shall be sure the proper party will re ceive the stock. KeFpectfuIly, Clakk & Co, Superintendent Walling placed the case in the hands of Captain i Williams. who visited No. 1,2G7 Broadway several times, but failed to find any one in the office of Clark & Co. He kept a constant watch on the place however, and was on duty Tuesday as usual. Ins time the letter carrier appeared with a ibundle of letters for Clark & Co. and knocked at the door. ' A young man opened it and received tho letters, but he was suddenly seized by Captain Williams and arrested. He was taken to Police Headquarters with his letters, and here the swindle was ex- posed, inc young man gave his name as unnton and represented himsclt as orronl fni1 PHnrlr JLr f.r A ff nr o rlnon r.' amination the oolice authorities became f convinced that Clinton was not award of the nature of the business carried on by h,s employers, and was consequently dis charged on condition that he would ap bM a wilnMS if hi8 8Crvi wcro Q quired The firm of Clark & Co. has no exis tence in fact, but tho name is assumed by a number of swindlers. Their plan of operation was as follows : They managed in some way (uaptain Williams thiuks through the agency ot dishonest! postmas ters) to get the signatures of several per sons throughout the country, land sent them circulars similar to the one given above, accompanied by slips evi dently cut from letters written i by their intended victims. If a person receiving a circular replied saying the signature was his he was sent an artificially got- up certificate of stoct in the Silver iMoun tain Mining Company, accompanied by a bill of charges tor commission and ex penses. The certificate of course in due tulie wouia P$ovi 10 De Winiess and tne bnsinesfl has W carriej on extensivelv. Tuesday m0rning fifty-seven letters vere received at their office in Uroadwav. and are now m the hands oi uaptain . vv u liams. They will be sent to Postmaster James, and any further letters addressed to Clark & Co. received will be sent to the dead-letter office. Clinton says he was employed by Elias Brothers, (-auctioneers, doing business at the corner of Twenty-first street and Broadway. The members of that firm are under oail bonds at present in con nection with a questionable lottery scheme with which thev were recently connected. They have not yet been arrested, because there is no complaint agaiust them from any person within tne otaio oi iew York. So soon as any one makes a charge against them they witl be prosecuted, j Mr. W. S Hewlett, of tliis city, now holds one of these bogus certificates. Some two years ago Mr. Hewlett remitted $2 to New York for a ticket in some scheme which he had seen advertised and last month he received a letter from "Clark & Co., Adjustors of Claims," of which the above is a fac-simile. His signature was a ho enclosed, and Mr Hewlett supposes that this was taken frdm the letter written by him two years azo. In response to the inauirylas to whether he would have tte certificate sent here by express or by j reg istered letter, he indicated the latter and thus it came. It is very hatidsomely got ten up and there is nothing in its appear ance to indicate that the concern is a bo gus one. It is for five shares of stock, of $100 to the share, in the Silver Mountain Mining Company, the pretended location of the mines being in Carson county, Wyo ming Territory. It claims that there are in all 100,000 shares of stock at $100 eaih only ten millions. The certificate is dated March 7tb. 1878 YetJ in the face of the fact that the whole) thing is an unadulterated swlii-, die, we do not see where Clark &, Co s; profits come in. They certainly made nothing out oipir. Hewlett, as the package, being registered letter, was necessarily prepaid in foil, and Mr. Hewlett has not as yet paid ont one cent for the certificate. o , 19, 1878. NO. 42 List of Letters.
