SES WH. AT YOU SIGN.
Wo look with suprise on the many
instances o£ swindling among farmers,
'because they sign their names un•
guardedly to an innocent looking
paper in the hands of a wily stranger.
But the country ,has not the monopoly
of careless. signers. A man in a large
town redotved to prove this. Ile
drew up apetit'ion to the Legislature,
aslcir.g to have the pastor of the
Presbyterian church hung on the
public square. He laid it on his office
table, and asked visitors to "sign a
petition for the winding up of Oswego
street,” Most of those who were ask-
ed signed freely without roadiog,
among them two deacons of the church
and the pastor's son in law. A large
listof signerswereobtaxned before the
facts leaked out. ' Then the men came
back .one by one, and sheepishly asked
to be allowed to cross their names oft:
'Glx, yes, scratch your names oft,'
said the gentleman, 'if you do not
want the pastor hung.'
