which he has received from "Thos. W. Pierce,
80, Nassau street New York city," as warn
ing to those who may be duped. We decline;
space too valuable. The newspapers are full Of
exposures Of this most open and transparent
fraud (otfering TO send counterfeit money! and
yet these rascsls grow fat upon the traffic Of
fools whose growth Is perennial A man need
feel ashamed to be humbugged by such letters,
for the reason that the man gave who was run
over and whose leg was broken by swill cart.
Hs didn't care about being knocked down, nor
about the mud. nor about the broken leg, but
he was mad TO think q swill cart did il. The
asses who are 80 stupidity gulled by these sharp
ers don't read newspapers, and therefore bscOme
victims to the most transparent humbng Of the
day.
