In the month of November last, Mes
srs. Tanner, Kearney aud Tiebout, were
las above stated requested by B. W.
dust, Of Cincinnati (who brought let
ter OF introduction with fictitious sig
Inature) to engrave two plates for new
baking association, entitled the . ohio
Exporting and Importing Company
The work was undertaken and iiant re-
turned. IN December he wrote to The
engravers that a Mr.. iIenalds would
call for tke notes when Completed" hc-
cor,'ingly on the 5th Of Feb. Mr.. Donalds
appeared and bore OF the moderate sum
9f SIX huadred and seventy thousand
dollars.
The only names besides these two,
which have appeared in connection with
this business, are William l'unt and Mr..
Cummings the former a brother, the

mentioned.
The two Hunts ard DOnaldS were coz
'spicpous members Ola COLLISION, entitled
the Indiana Manufacturing Company
which at New Lexington in the Indiana
Territory, issued, during the last year, q
large quantity Of pretended Bank paper
What number Of that fraternity are now
in this quarter, it is difficult to say. De-
maids, it appears. came on IN February
and 3. w. Hunt and Cummings have
both been seen in tins city within week
The latter was at Trenton engaged II
selling their new paper last week, and
the former as late as Saturday morning
Iunler the name OF John S. Wilson, O
Cincinnati,) gave a twenty dollar not'
in payment to merchant in this city.
,fhe engraving of their paper is exc
Ecnted in handsome style, with large
iship anu light house as q vignetts. The
notes which we have seen were dated Ii
January. the month previous to that Il
which they were printed. They ar
