Another “Saw-Dust” Victim.

A. 8, C.,OK this city, was the lucky man, and when he received a letter from parties in New York (of whom he had never heard in all his blessed life, andcottTd not, for the life of him, account for the manner of their selecting him as the lucky man) stating that he had been selected to assist in forwarding their lottery schemes, his heart leaped for joy. ; • A. 8. C. was to draw $50,000, in consideration of which he was to make a big bldw in the newspapers of this section, tell all his friends and acquaintances about it, and have all his friends and acquaintances tell all their friends and acquaintances about it, and thus induce everybody to buy tickets. As an evidence of good faith on the part of A. 8. C. be~waa requested to send the managers of the lottery SSO on receipt of their letter’ •* A.S. C. promptly remitted the money according to directions, and patiently awaited the receipt of his fortune. Day before yesterday he was notified that a small package awaited him in the express office, charges not paid, and with a heart leaping with joy, he paid the amount, and hastened to a friend’s store near by to open the package. The cover wad taken off; nothing but saw-dust was revealed. Emptying the saw-dust out a small,package of paper was found, and at sight of this A. 8. C.’s heart took another race around his breast, and in ecstasy he cried, “Here it is, P ; I knew there Wfahld be no mistake.” One wrapper of paper after another was unrolled until finally a small Jews-harp was exposed, with a note attached, which read as follows; „ , “I say, ('ally, learn to play ’this ahd go West ; follow instructions' and your fortune is assured.” What followed is recorded above; but, sad to relate, it will tell tearfully against A. 8. C. in the haal judgment— j£<tn»<u City Next.
