Scores and scores of letters containing dollar ‘not twos or fives, but tens ard twenties, came tumbling in, all claiming a share in the great under- taking. The fraud succeeded ‘to a nicety, and would probably have satisfactorily progressed but that it was nipped just as it was blossoming. In- deed, it was represented te the court by the eager plaintiff that the whole enterprise was a complete swindle.

Burnhain ciaims that he is doing a legitimate ‘business in the furniture and piano trade, and that under orders frem the defendants policemen are day end night keptin front of his establishment to warn persons against entering his store, the officers stating to such persons that his ousiness is what is commonly known as the ‘mock auction” idea. Mr. Vanderpoel, on behalf of the defendants, stated that oficers had been so statibned in proximi- ty to the plaintiff’s house on the request of the’Mayor ‘0 the Police Gommiasioners, numerous complaints having been made against the establishment. Coun- Bel ako argued that the case was res adjudicata, citing several recent authorities and precedents in hip of his position. .b interesting fact in connection with the case is that piainiiit also sues for damages, claiming that in consequence of the acts of the police authorities he has suifered damages in his business and reputation to the amount of $75, This modest claim pro- Voked a smile front the colirt as well as from all pre- ‘Sent not interested in Mr. Burnham. The court denied the motion for injunction, and ‘the case will be appealed te the next general term, to be heid in June. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—TRIAL TERM—PART |. Action Against a Railroad Company—A Ver- dict for the Plaintiff. Before Judge Daly. John Dougherty, by his Guardian, vs. The Bleecker Street and Fulton Ferry Railroad Company.—This ase, which has been before the court several days, ‘Was brought to a conclusion yesterday morning, When a sealed verdict was announced. The Bata & boy about nine years old, was assisting a As already stated, these tickets sold rapidly, for the prizes were tempting, while the manner in which the busmess was represented to be cond: was calculated to give satisfaction. The great and most successful trick on the cards of the “firm” was to publish a paper called Kelly's Weekly, price $1 & number, expressly printed and sold for tl nha! gl and whieh the dupes, in addition to the price the lottery ticket, had to provide themselves with 80 ag to be posted with respect to the result of the draw- ings, the list of prizes alleged to be drawn having a corresponding ‘number on @ ticket held by one of themselves. ‘The bamboozled speculators, holding & lucky number and overjoyed at the prospect of sud- den fortune, at once sent in their La reir for one or other of the many prizes, consisting of gold watches valued at $150, greenbacks, pianos, melo- deons, diamonds, &c. Letters poured in from all parts of the country returning the mostsincere thanks to the firm and requesting the immediate despatch of his or her prizes. To the several polite though urgent applications the wily tricksters would invariably re- ply that the winner could not depart from the usual custom in such cases made and provided of torward- Ing Kelly & Co, six per cent of the value of the prize, say to cover expenses and other incidental, matters, Then came in another flood of epistles from the duped, some expressing dissatisfaction at this new demand, while others were silently content to pay & petty $10 or $20 bill in order to finally secure their prize. But no prizecame. Weeks would flit away and not a few, made wise by experience, let the matter rest. Not so with many, however, who, per- sisting in their appeals to honesty and fair play, were at lagt rewarded with stock, Tat shares in “The Sand River Petroleum Prize Company,” the certifi- cate of which was elaborately engrossed and embel- lished with a cut of a beautiful mining region, viv- idly depicting the land teeming with gold, with men busy at work and toiling hard at their earnest occu- ation. The frontispiece certainly showed some imaginary company to be @ prosperous one enough to make the shareholder chuckle with delight. It was considerate of “The North American Prize Con- cert” to send around this enviable ticket; but where ‘was the company? Geography and the directory were equally at fault, The island of Banatana, after which poor Sancho Panza so long yearned, had a more tangible exigsence than the region depicted in the certificate.

The princl- Pal object of the society was to serve as a sort of bond of brotherhood by which all the French Cana- dians might be brought together as natives of a common country, though in a land not their own. It had been the aim of the founders of the society, and it was still the aim of members, to make of it altogether national in its character.
