Posting.—Hutchings, the Daguerreotypist, corner of Canal and Chartres streets, yesterday had hanging up against an awning post the phiz of a chap with a good, round, open countenance, presenting the appearance of a “Jail bird” peeping through the iron grates of his cage.  This was effected by placing over the plate, horizontally and perpendicularly, small strips of black, so as to form squares, through which the features of the incarcerated might be seen with admirable effect.  Beneath the picture were these emphatic words:  “This Man swindled me out of Fifty Dollars!”

We would admonish persons to be cautious how they trifle with Mr. Hutchings, and at the same time admire his way of “showing up” a fellow.
