Caution.

am requested, by painfully interest
ed parties, to caution the public against
an infamous fellow calling himself Mo.
sEs SUTTON. He came to this country
about the first of June, last year, pre-
tending to have come from the western
part of New York, where he had left
a considerable amount Of property, and
protesting to be in quest of purchase
ble land. In September, he married a
respectable and amiable young lady.
with whom he lived until the 1st of A.
pril, present year, when he secretly
leftgker, taking with him every portable
thing ofvaiue. @'7'iS
II IS presumed that he has at least
another wife, and will marry as many
more as possible. He will be unlikely
to bear the same name elsewhere that
he assumed here, and therefore can be
known by description only. He rode
away large bay, colt, three years old,
had a new overcoat and some other
new clothes. He is apparently about
twenty-six years of age--above medi>
um height-rather slender spare face
fair hair-sandy whiskers {when he
left)-greyish blue. eyes (apparently
weak and the lids slightly iniamed)-
inclined to hold his mouth openZspeaks
something like person. having cold
in the head--accastomed to throw his
head frequently and rather suddenly
back in conversation. 2
'' These marks are all we can now re-
collect; and tits hoped that this case,
superadded. TO so long a. list of cases,
may have the effect. to- make young
ladies more careful about forming too
hasty connections with strangers.
