The following is the description OF the
counterfeit notes, made in imitation OF the
TWO dollar notes of the Mechanics Bank OF
Baltimore, and of the difference between
them and the real notes, which has been
communicated for publication.
Thew are Of the letter A. dated July 4th,
1917. The following distinctions may serve
to detect them.
The first difference between the original
and counterfeit note, is, that the paper
which in the genuine is thick. 1ph'fe' ana
partially mixed with red silk the counter
felt is thin. Jqimsy, and somewhat OF 0'us'
ssh cast. The genuine notes have ssatsr
mark of fvs circles, running along the body
Of the note. large circle in the centre.
and two Mailer ones on either side.
The next difference is in The engraving,
,ha vienette in the counterfeit is consider
sbly coarser, the figure, carpenter saving
plank, is badly executed, especially about
the head and face, in the execution OF
which the hight and shade is not well pre-
served. There is less light upon the face,
and the left arm is both darker and smaller.
In the counterfeit note there IS but one
dot instead of three on the centre OF the b
in the word Baak-immediatel behind the
b, over the letter A, in the same word OF
the genuine bill. there is small flourish
with three dots upon it, which, in the forged
bill, is entirely omitted. All the counter
feits are filed in and signed with glazed
INK, and badly numbered. Fed. ca.
We have daily new cause for cautioning
the public to be careful in examining all
bank notes which are offered in payment
by strangers or persons of suspicious cha
racter; more particularly such as are o.
fered after sunset. Yesterday, at dusk. a
decent looking woman bought some art'-
cles in store in Market-street amounting
10 four dollars, gave the store keeper what
appeared to be a twenty dollar note, and
received sixteen dollars in change. On
examination, the note which she gave,
proves to he one dollar note OF the Bank
of Maryland, altered to twenty. The al
tera,iou is very palpable when the note is
examined by day light. HID.

are republican. But the only important qualif

ITcUSUeF (O AtHCOb SoNfUy
We have received several communications re-
lating to the election of Treasurer for Lincoln
county, which the late hour at which they were
received and the press of other political matter of
more general interest and Importance have oblig-
ed us to exclude them from the columns of our
paper We regret exceedingly the necessity we
are under of denying ourselves the pleasure OF
gratifying SO many of our friends, who seem to
take such deep interest in the reelection OF
their present excellent and unexceptienable
Treasurer, JOSHUA HEAD, Esq. We cannot
persuade ourselves that there Is any real doubt
of Mr. Heads reelection as we know he is
gentleman whose department in that office has
given universal satisfaction to all parties-whose
fidelity has been long tried and has conduct per-
fectly approved-who lives in central part of
the county, and is Familiarity acquainted with the
duties of the ofice and the financial affairs OF the
county. What advantages can be expected to
be derived from exchanging Treasurer OF his in
formation, acceptableness and experience, ,ior one
who is al entire stranger to the business, who
lives in a remote part of the county, the very ex-
tremity of it. with rapid river TO cross to get to
him. is more than we can conceive. We also
