Caution to the Unwary.

Palmers ton people have been from time to time ■** sold " by peripatetic vendors of ai tides, either worthless m themselves, or which never come to hand. There has been the silver polish man, the tenaxicum man, and recently a good number of residents were victimized by a plansible customer who proffered to supply the Young Ladies Jonmal for an annual subscription of 6s. He demanded and got half-a crown m advance from a number of people and then travelled, nor has he since been, seen nor the promised journal ever been forwarded. To-day a gent is going round showing photographic album, which he offers to sell on monthly payments, but detnands 6s down, promising to send the album. He visits private houses, asks for " the mistress," and if told to go to the {husband's office or place of business his reply is that he only calls on private houses. We fancy this card is one of the same kidney, and therefore put our readers on their guard against his little game. If tihey are deceived hereafter it will not be for lack of having been duly cautioned.
