A CAUTION.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sic, —Allow me throngh your medium to warn the public against one of the moat abominable traps (and that's many) that besets this city. I had occasion to come down the G-rafton road last evening, and, as you are aware, it was very dark. After passing Dr Philson's about 150 yards, I suddenly experienced the uncomfortable sensation of running butt against a thick furze hedge which ran across the road. I then got on the side path and proceeded a few yards, when down I went, I don't know how deep it is, but I seemed a long time about it; however, I am thankful to say I escaped unhurt, but that's owing in a great measure to a quantity of loose earth I fell on. I need scarcely say lam a stranger in the said locality or I might be aware of the pitfall, but other stranger 3 may be passing, come to grief and not get off so easily. If this should get the authorities to put some lights that people may know what danger is near, well and good ; if not the workmen may find a poor victim some morning with his neck broken. Yours, &c, A.A.
