During the past few weeks circulars of
an ambiguous nature have been received
by parties here. and the supposition is

| ness is intended. Some of the circulars
have fallen into the hands of reliable citi-
| zens, but there may be others that have
reached parties susceptible to such an
| offer 1t is thought the gang of sharps
that were in the city a few weeks ago
may have had something to do with the
