By returning this duplicate number to us with 
$5, we will send you, by return mail, 20 tickets, and 
deduct the other 85.00 due us, from the prizes drawn 
by the tickets. Thus you get this agent’s ticket 
free. Every package of 20 tickets (halves) is sure 
to win two prizes and may win the Capital Prize.. 
Order Tickets before it- is too late.

Scorched tout UFot Killed. 
We, in April, gave such a full and sweeping ex¬ 
posure of “ Simpson’s Royal New Brunswick Cash 
Gift Distribution,” as we supposed would effectu¬ 
ally put a quietus upon the fraud. Evidently the 
swindlers were alarmed, because they dropped the 
name of W. D. Simpson & Co. But they have be¬ 
gun operations again, and are now flooding the 
country with tickets and coupons like the above. 
J. Goldsmith & Co. appear in place of W. D. 
Simpson & Co., and the other changes made can 
he readily seen by comparing the fac similes above 
with those given by us in the April American Agri¬ 
culturist. 
We shall continue to pursue and expose this 
swindling concern as often as it changes the names 
of the “proprietors,” and we invite the aid of 
the authorities to assist us in so doing. 
Saw Company, of Chicago, HI. We have so far 
declined to insert the advertisement of this Com¬ 
pany, though urgently pressed to do so. While 
our duty to our subscribers makes it clear to us 
that we should not advertise this Company, until 
we know more about them, we do not wish to do 
them any injustice, and to those making enquiries 
regarding the Company, we have to say, “Look 
well, and satisfy yourself before purchasing the 
Monarch Lightning Saw Machines.”

Cautionary Signals. 
The country is being flooded with circulars and 
catalogues, of what is called “The Sheffield Cutlery 
Concern,” corner State and Washington streets, 
Boston, Mass. On the first inside page of the 
catalogue we fiud a full page, describing the Shef¬ 
field Knife Company. We infer that the two are 
one and the same thing—and the Sheffield Knife 
Company appears iu the Official List of Frauds, 
which we published in the April American Agri¬ 
culturist. 
A I*liiladelplila, Scheme. 
The head of a reputable manufacturing firm 
in Pennsylvania, writes us concerning a Lot¬ 
tery Scheme, put forth by a “farmer’s paper” 
in Philadelphia. The writer says “It is certainly 
an unqualified lottery, although they may have so 
arranged as to avoid our laws.” We have to say 
in reply, that we should decline to insert the ad¬ 
vertisement of this Philadelphia Plan in the col¬ 
umns of the American Agriculturist. We cannot 
understand how the paper in question should have 
lent itself to schemers. 
“ Bankrupt Stock.” 
P. 0. Yicking, of Augusta, Maine, sends circulars 
all over the country, offering a bankrupt stock of 
jewelry for sale, at one-fourth its value. Look 
well into the matter before you invest. 
TJie ISradfbrd Heirs. 
Oliver P. Mcllrath, Cleveland, Ohio, wants all 
the Bradford heirs to “pool their issues” and 
I present a strong front,” in order that they may se¬ 
cure the “fortune” which awaits them. If you are 
a Bradford heir (and we are told by a correspon¬ 
dent in Framingham, Mass., that there are probably 
many of them among our readers) thoroughly in¬ 
vestigate the matter before you advance any money 
to secure your share of the “ fortune.”
