SHARPER AGAIN. -000 of the boldest
tricks ever perpetrated in this neighbor -
hoed was executed last week in which a
retired , tarmareas the ,vietini . A man
giving his name aa Johnsion," stopped at
Clarke's hotel and represented himself as
being a cattle buyer „in the employ of tfr.
McLean of Stanley; he said that he had
been out to Shipka buying cattle from one
McGregor and. in order to buy' the cattle he
had to buy a flock of sheet) as Mr. Mc-
Gregor wmild not sell unlesehe bought the
whole lot, He said that he had bought
the cattle cheap and so could afford to give
a man a bargain on the sheep as he could
not be bothered taking them home. His
story appeared plausible enough, as he also
seemed to be well acquainted in the town-
ship of Stanley. *Mr. Win. Oceikwill, sr.,
who.was present at the time thought that,
if what Johnson Said WAS right, he would
buy the lot as his son wanted. some lambs,
and he would keep the rest and sell them
for market. He went with 'Johnston to
look at the sheep which were left in a field
on Mr. Wm. Sanders' farm, and found a
gem' flock of sheep, twelve in all, (eight of
them lambs), which he bought for thirty
three dollars. He paid Johnston the
money and Mr. Oockwill removed the
sheep next morning to his eon's farm.
We suppose the fraud would not have been
discovered had it not been for Mr. Wm.
Sanders who (after his boy telling hire that
a man had asked hitn to let him put the
sheep in the field over night and that he
had come from east with them) suspected
them to have been got in an illegitimate
way as be reasons, that as the markets are
along the railway lines the drovers would
consequently drive them east at least in
passing Ido farm. Johnston told his boys
that he had bought the sheep in Ma Gilli-
vray and that ha was going lancet there
again which also excited tar. Sanders' sus-
picion. He (Sanders) came down to
Crichton next day and toldlhe story John-
son told him. Mr. Clarke then told San-
ders what Johnston had said in Credit=
and as the two stories eonflicted they
thought it best to inform Mr. Cookwill
which they did at once. Mr. Cockevill
drove to Mr. MeGregors and discovered
that he had sold neither cattle nor sheep
and concluded that he had been duped.
On Monday Mr. Box and Mr, Sanders of
the 4th eon, having heard. of tbe matter,
visited Itti, Cockwillet farm and succeeded
in identifying four ee belonging to them.
Mr. Cookwill willingly surrendered them'
as he was convinced of the teuth. We
suppose the balance of the flock will be
claimed in a few dayes 11 1.9 evident that
Johnson having seen the sheep on the road
drove them to Seeder's farm and came to
Orediton to sell them, Johnstoo Ma stout
and well built man appearing to be about
