A very singular impoSture has been re-
gently rractl<ed in the state \. Hamp-
shie. by some swindler, who palmed
himself upon the public, and attempted
10 raise contributions. as an agent at the
Deaf and Dumb Asylum, at Hartford, in
the state Of Connecticut; in Consequence
a. which, the Overseers of that institution
have flund il necessary 10 publish the
following notice
As several imp1sto-s have lately an
pcarrd. in different parts Of the U. States,
som pretending that they were Deaf and
Dumb. aSi others, that they were agents
from the Coprecricut Asylum, tor the
purpose Of soliciting contributions, the
public are hereby cautioned against fu-
trre imposition. A recent instance Of his
kind, occurred at Portsmouth, y. Hamp-
shire. where person assumed the name
ng brother o. Mr.. THOMAS. f. GAL
LAUDET, who is the P,incipa! of our
restitution, calling himself Edward Gal
Iaudet, and openly requested pecunlary
aid, in behalf. and in consequence, OF
authority derived from the officers Of said
institution. There is at esent M agent
s5road, aad Shoald there be any in future,
he viii be specially authorised. and suy-
nished with anne credentials from the
directors OF the institution. In order TO
prevent i,apO,itionS Of This Kind in future
the printers Who are friends TO the Asy-
lum. throughout the country, are request
ed to insert this caution in their papers.
