JOHN WRITB & SONS Publishers and Proprietor eetEF EwELL.- T•u>iwS Azr It would ap- Centralia. pear that Farewell, the man who re- cently passed raised money upon some of the business people of Hensall, is again in trouble. He has been oper- ing at Nieholston a small village in the vicinity of Alliston, near Barrie. He has made the Bible his special. study, not that be might become a betterman,but that be- come t t i at he might pe tx g come worse, his acquaintance with holy writ and his able exposition of its truths being the means by which he duped the unsuspecting people. This was how he worked his game there. He visited the, people and conversed freely on religious subjects, until his hearers had become fully persuaded that he was a man in whom they would be safe in plating the fullest confidence. He told them he was going about doing good and was beg- ging provisions of all kinds for a poor family living in Alliston. He collected a large amount of butter, eggs, flour, etc., at several different times, his col- lections being worth a large amount of money. He took some of his sup- plies to his own family at Nicholston and the rest he took to Alliston where he sold it for cash, putting the money in his pocket, Some suspecting party informed the police and in a few days. Constable Glory went out to catch the man, but arriving there his bird was gone. Since then his wife and family have gone, and it is supposed are again, or will soon be, operating the same scheme in more congenial parts. Zurich.
