Recently, a woman claiming to be deaf and dumb was canvassing a street in St. Albans, and when refused custom used most objectionable language. On luesday a resident of Dyer’s Pass Road, Cashmere, called at the office of the Press to complain that a canvasser had sold her “an English glaze,” which proved to be “no more efficacious than water.” The address the salesman gave was later proved to be false.
