How HE was Caueut.—A Prince Edward Islander, by industry and thrift, made some money, and it invested it in shipping. He was an endorser of some of Hyndman Bros. paper, and when it became evident that that firm would fail, and he would perhaps be called upon to pay the notes which he had endorsed, he deemed it advisable to transfer his vessels to James Duncan & Co. The latter firm failed the other day, and the vessels were transferred to Sir James Malcolm, who is now the owner. People cannot always see their way clear through difficulties of this kind.—St. John Globe.
