To the description which is lhrre given of him and is (o tlu life, may he added that he is rather stout, a slight inclination to baldness in front, and a somewhat remarkable flatness on the top of his head. _ Hince his conviction, he declines to furnish any information of his early life. In Augusta he professed to have been originally from Vermont.

He had by snmc means procured from a rc*pcctaHe physician hi Bellefonte a Haltering testimonial cf character both private and professional. By means of this, and the exercise of nc ordinary cunning in assuming a rcligioui character, he obtained an introduction tc quite a lucrative practice. He evinced considerable skill in his profession, and after remaining here for six or right week* he left this place for ttie neighboring morns, and rnurnrtf about two weeks since. Although his conduct during his first visit excited suspicion, it was never dreamed that ht> was the abandoned, consummate scnsndrel that be has since proved himself. He came back to us in a style every crar befitting a gentleman, having by his artifice, procured k home and gig that in all probability ho never intended paying for. While here the second time, after various advances to other females, he succeeded in decoying the daughter (an interesting girl about 15 years of age) of one of our must respectable citizens with whom * - * - - ? > .1 ' lie decamped in the abserncr of Iter miner.
