lottery Swiiiclline.
It may surprise many to learn that very
ignorant persons are daily remitting their
SIO.OO to the Delaware lottery swindlers.
Wc are assured by postmasters that such
is actually true, and that scarcely a mail
leaves Lancaster that does not carry off
some sitnjdelon’s money—tobeue\er heard
of, except by return letter fre’gbted with
some new plot to drain more money, for it
is a peculiarly of weak persons that who
ever can deceive them once can gammon
them again and again, commonly to the
end of life. Near 100 letters, such as we
print this week on the first page of out pa
per, have been received for delivery at the
Lancaster Post-dffice of late, and it is prob’
able that every other office in tlft country
is receiving such letters addressed to per
sons, commonly country people who are
supposed to be poorly posted subjects
of rascality. It is probable that at least
or.-' in eight or ten of those who receive
jueh letter, comply with the terms by re
mitting SIO.OO. We have before us speci
men letters of three different lottery swin
dling establishments, all in Delaware; one
by ‘ enny & Co; one by W. Nason & Co.,
and one by C. E. Barry & Co., all direc
ting letters and money to be sent to Wil
miii ton, Delaware. The letters are en
graved from written copy, and two of them
n the same hand writing, though pretend
ing to hail from different lotteries. The
letters are posted in our office.
