The land shark, spoken of by the Dkmockat week before last, was a fraud. He wanted the owners of the land in which lie claimed an interest to pay him $ 400 for a good title. He ottered Mr. Win.

Broadstreet found it and when he went to claim the money the swindler bad fled. Farmers who take the Democrat are not apt to be taken in by confidence men.

On last Wednesday as Daddy McNabb was passing a pool of water, caused by the recent overflow of Eel river, his attention was attracted by a terrible splashing. An investigation developed the fact that the flood had left therein a large carp and a loggerhead tortoise. The water had become so shallow that the carp could no longer navigate and he had fallen a prey to his hungry neighbor in misfortune. The tortoise had a grip on the carp near the tail, and was holding on like an Ohio man to nn office, despite the terrible floundering of the carp. Daddy shot the tortoise and secured both carp and reptile. The tortoise was what is called a hardshell and weighed forty pounds, The carp weighed eighteen pounds. PUTNAMVILLE.
