Tha tamers have often been warned against these gentry by the press, but they readily carnage their tactics and assume all sorts af pratsan forms for entrapping the unwary, and scarcely s dsr passea that some countrymen It not made a victim of tks wicked wites of the ubiquitous teamps. The latest heard of is a gang who go about selling an alleged sesdlag-au-chine, and these have victimised a number of people. Tke Knquirtr reporter hat been ahown a copy of an exceedingly ingenious document which these fellows use ia their operations, and by mesas of which they have caught more than one who thought himself entirely Voj smart te be duped bv say city sharp. The reader k hereby presented with a fae-simlle ot tke H contract " drawn by these patent seeding-machine fellows, which they induce farmers to sign, and which shortly afterward turns up as a plain note of hand te tke poascssion of some paper-shaver 1a hit neighborhood who has purchased the same of the awtndler. It ta as follows: r U I 1 The swindlers go te s well-to-do farmtr aad tell him he has been reeommended a a good man to sell their machine, and auk him ta become then- agent. He i pmuaded tkat they sell rapidly, sad that he can make a large per cent, profit, lie is told that ha wttl act he ejmeetied te risk say money ar pay anytkksg until be has sold fSm worth of the nunddaes. He is .Induced ta sign the contract shove given, which, it will be seen, sets forth this agreement ht read straight acroaa. It looks fair and innocent enough, sad seen the farmer put his name ta the blank space Just before the words "Sole Agent for Company." Afterwards tke scamps easily change the document from a contract te sell ioto a promlbory ante by teartag off tkat part to the right of the lias draws through tbe segment ss printed. In tbe original presented to the farmers of courts no line appears; and it i given here simply to bow where the division lakes place, and the "parstton at which point to radically chsnj: the nature of the document. It will be seen sta glance tbat this ! liable to deceive any one, without dose inspection, and a number of Indiana farmers Iwve ten cheated wtth them thta summer, rnc i. heard of the gang they wert- operat lop attentively ta Berthelomew County.
