A Craven Cheat. AN ENGLISH LADY VICTIMIZED BY A BROADWAY SWINDLER—HE HAKES LOVE FIRST AND THEN MAKJS8 TRACKS WITH HER HONEY — HER DESTITUTION —WHAT SHE THINKS OF AMERICA. From the New York Herald. An English lady of education resolved to quit the effete atmosphere of Britain and seek in this New World an agreeable abode where she might enjoy her moderate income and add to her slender annuity by teaching music in St Louis. She arrived in New York on Sunday evening by the Inman steamer Washington, and became so rapidly acquaint ed with metropolitan society that she came to the Herald office yesterday morning to re late how she had placed her confidence and money in the hands of a Broadway villian, who, it is needless to say, has stolen both. Mrs. B. (she requests that her name be with held) is London born, and a sprightly, dark eyed, intelligent widow, believiog too much in men, particularly in their protestations of civility and disinterested kindness. She had heard in London that in America you must be OFF-HAND WITH EVERY BODY; that our democratic institutions produced a general atmosphere of benevolence, such that a mere claim of friendship on the part of a total stranger was only indicative of a sense of social duty. It is not surprising, there fore, that when she landed and drove to the Revere House, accompanied by a traveling friend, Miss Wood, an English maiden lady, now in her last half century, that she became victimized the following evening by a low thief named Brown, who hang about the hotel. Mrs. B. was drinking tea with Miss Wood on Monday evening, when a dark-com plexioned man introduced himself at the table and professed to take au interest in the English ladies. Yielding to what they con sidered “the true American style," they chat ted with him, and he finally asked THE ACCOMPLISHED WIDOW ii she would accompany him to Niblo’s. She refused. He persisted with considerable zeal. She again declined. At last she consented, and they went, and afterwards took supper iD a public restaurant, the situation ot which she doos not now remember. Mrs. B. says:— “He made violent love to me and pretend ed to wish to marry me; but his entreaties did not make the faintest impression. His kindness inspired me with confidence, how ever, and, being alone, I did not repel his at tentions. You know what it is to be alone in a foreign land, without a friend or acquain tance. He swore that wherever I went there be should go, and that my happiness was his only object in life. These declarations amused me, because the man was igno rant, and said he was an actor and a gym nast, and neither his manners nor his con versation indicated that he was other than A VERY COMMON AND VULGAR PERSON !’’ “What became of Miss Wood?" 44 Oh, she was going to Philadelphia yester day morning. She had been very kind to me, and had acted the matron on board tne Washington. After breakfast I went out to get my draft cashed at Fargo*. It was for the som of £30 sterling. As I was leaviog the hotel the man Brown followed and joined me and said he wonld go with me. As I had every confidence m him I did not object I got the money all right (over hundred and j fifty dollars), and Asked him to put it in his pocket, because I had NOT THE LEAST SUSPICION of his good intentions. When we arrived opposite Goald’s restaurant he said he wished to inquire for some letters at the post-office in Nassau street, and I said I would like to have him make inquiries for me. Ac cording to his invitation I remained outside on the sidewalk in front of Gould’s. He went for the letters, and has never returned.” “ So you are left destitute?" “Entirely so. I have not enough money to buy a loaf of bread with. He took almost my last penny. I do not know what in the world to do. I cannot pay my hotel bill, and they do not trust strangers at the Kevere House. I must accept aid from whatever source it comes. If I had money I would go back to England immediately.” “Y’ou are tired of this country?” “Yes; at least one hundred men have in-, suited me in the street in the last two days. Thieves and vagabonds seem to be every where. " Mrs. B. has the appearance and demeanor of a perfect lady, and she deserves the atten tion and aid of the community, as she is now in a state of complete destitution. She may be found at the Revere House. A SPLENDID INVESTMENT. pou a^.: THE WHITFIELD FLOURING MILLS I For particular* aj*ply to aprll-tf W. C. TILTON A CO. Dalton. Ga* NEW FIRM. J. H. PETEXBOH. D. D.

The undersigned have seen the “ Brinley Shaft Plow ” at work for two days, bedding for cotton, working in i and cotton, and have worked it ourselves, and we express our entire satisfaction with it iu every way. It makes an elegant bed at every trip, and thoroughly pulverizes the land at the same time. After bed ding, we plowed down the bed on the water furrow—the place for guano, reverting the bed and covering the guano at the same time. In corn planted in six feet rows, one round cleared the row, and left the land in splen did order, which would have required five farrows with a single plow, thus saving over one-half the labor, and doing the work equally as well, if not better. Cotton rows from three to three and a half feet, were cleared at one furrow, which would have required two furrows with any other plow. As a cultivator it surpasses any thing we ever saw, and for bedding lands after being broken, it cannot be surpassed, as it does the work of three men and mules. We cheerfully give it our fullest endorsement and recommendation, as the greatest la bor-saving agricultural implement that has ever been on our farms, or in this country. The draft of the plough light as a Dixon Sweep on a single stock—a medium mule carrying it with ease. H. M. GRAY, . „ . . 8. F. GRAY, H. A. BROOKS, • • h 44 f 1 • ' J- T. GRAY. J. M.

KUDDEN* DEATH OF A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WO MAN IN a WAGON—FLIGHT OF THE GYPSIES—THE COXONEB’s INVESTIGATION. [New York Snn.J Poughkeepsie, May 18. There is a painful mystery surrounding the death and burial of a gypsy girl on Monday last near Cold Spring, Putnan county. The investigation which is progressing shows that these roving bands disregard all law and de cency in the matter of caring for the mem bers of their tribe when misfortune overtakes them. On the day in question two wagons containing three young men, one old woman, one young girl and two children arrived at McKeel s Corners, not far from Cold Spring. One of the young men hastened to Dr. Griffin's residence and pressed him to come quickly to the wagons. The doctor did so, and found the young girl in a dying condition. She was very beautiful. Her attire was of the most scanty kind. Dr. Griffin thought she had been drugged. When he demanded of the other occupants of the wagon what they had been giving her, one ot them replied that Dr. Schiosson, ot Bedford, Westchester county, had prescribed pills for the girl; that she had been complaining tor several days but that she had not been very ill the day previous. Dr. Griffin asked the poor girl if she would like to have some water, but she made no audible reply. He then, in or der to test her strength, held the water toward her and asked her to raise her head: but she could not. He then raised her head and poured a little water in her mouth, but she did not swallow any. The Doctor then hur ried into a house near by to get other aid, but j when he came back the young girl was dead. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the same j day her body was handed over to the overseer ! of the poor, and she was at once buried in the old burial ground near by, without pray- | er or other service whatever. Her wandering companions took their de> ' parture immediately after, unquestioned and / seemingly uncared for. Not a soul knew who • the unfortunate girl was, nor where she came from, nor the names of any of her compan ions. As soon as the Tacts became noised abroad, | the people of the vicinity felt that a great wrong had been perpetrated; that a mystery __ surrounded the whole affair which it was their FREEDMANS SAVINGS & TRUST CO* duty, if possible, to clear up. j (Chartered by Government of United States.
