Gates of Kalamazoo county bas published the following notice to the public, which is quita appropriate generally : "ïhere are mea in different parts of the country, representing theoiselves asageuts for different firnip, and taking orders, appoiuting sub-agents, and by their oily touguea and gentleiuanly mauners induoing the unwary to either öign an order, receipt, or siiuuly a contract, which at'terwards tums out to be a note and has to bo paid. Some of the slippery gentry (d - Is) have put in an appuaraucu in Kalamazoo county.
