Snoopy Pertherins.-Most of our town read
-
ors will, perhaps, remember seeing a couple of
stylish looking young then, who boarded at the
Royal Hotel, for some tinio, mid drove mit ev-
ery day in Mr, Chas, Havemou's most stylish
livery rig." 1Peopleoften wondered how itewas
that millionaires °odd think of coming to
Wingletm. But they turned out to be some-
thing diftle 9 it (from millionai es. They were
shoddy peddlers. To make things oonvenieut,
the used different names to suit different
places. John O'Brien at Harry Bane cilia*
J. Campbell, served them very well for this
town. Well, they oheeked thiugs and got into
Mr. Howson's debt for livery eige, to, the tune
of $65, and into Mr. Green's debt for board,
$20, besides goiug through sundry other peo-
ple some $100. They thee. maidenly left town,
and in the hurry of their departure, forgot, to
pay what they owe. Tho latest regarding them
is, that they were arrested in Stratford, on
some charge, not yet known to us, lint with
the proverbial "good hick" of snoh swindlere,
theymanaged to wriggle out of the charge.
We suppose that ere this they have 3 skipped
out for "resh fields and paetares new."-
Winghant Times. We warn the people of
fileeter to take (sate that, these "pastures new"
be not in this town. There is too much of
this deadbeetiug business done nowadays.
