The several landlords in this place re-
ceived each a notice n few days ago Couched
in respectful language aud purportiug to
emauate from So-called Ladies' Associa-
ton, in which the landlords aforesaid were
informed that they would ele .oug receive
visit from the prayer III sisters in behalf OF
tenn mperance. These notices bore the name
of one Of the most estimable young ladies in
our town as Secretary, but was uoue the less
a fraud and cheat for that matter. 1t was
of course designed for a Joke, but it WAS one
OF those jokes which reflect little credit
the perpetrators, and even yet those who
engaged in this coutemptible piece of bust
ness may have cause for laughing out of the
other sides of their mouths.
