Sharp practice to obtain a wealthy Wipe.

--The Cleveland Plain dealer mentions the case of a well-dressed young man, of good manners, who gave in his income to the assessor at several thousand dollars, paid the tax, and had the pleasure of seeing his name in the list among the nabobs of the country. On the strength of this, he courted a wealthy man's daughter and married her. Then it was found out that he had no money, and had sold his mother's watch to pay the income tax. The Government made a good thing out of it; so did the young man.
