COUNTERFEiTERS TAKFN.

Two men young and OF gen,eel ap-

suspicious of being counterfeiters. It.
appeared in evidence, that On Saturday
they arrived at Occaquon from the north,
where they passed counterfeit ten dol.

who, discovering soon after their depar.
ture that il was spurious bill, pursued
them, and being joined AT this place by
several gentlemen, overlook and arrested
them on Sunday night about four miles
from town, on their way to the SOUTH
On searching their persons forty odd dol
lars were found in counterfeit notes on
the Farmers bank Of Alexandria, which,
with small sum in good money, they
declared was all that they had. But on
searching their trunks in the mayors Of

means of false or double sides The
notes were fresh from the plates and re-

There did not appear to be any thing
extraordinary in,he speed of either horse;
and the lameness of Sir Charles may
be considered, as the principal, if not the
only,cause Of the eclipse coming outfirsi.
Scarcely an individual left the field, but

The people present were not so numerous
as was expected-probably between 6 and
5000. Large bets were made previous
TO the starting OF the horses.
The rider of the Eclipse made use of
both whip and spurs, while Sir Charles
was rode without the former article.

A FIRE

OF an alarming appearance broke out
last evening, few minutes after seven,
from the roof of the building formerly
known as the mechanics II il,s or tavern,
in the occupancy of several families, near
the theatre, and few doors above our
Office But by unusual czertion, and
most excellent complaint of too much
water, the flames were, in the course of
two hours, subdued, after pulling down an
adjoining smiths shop with another she'd.
The building received material injury,
the roof being almost entirely demolished
besides the loss Of the tenants, OF which
it was impraciicable to learn any thing.
Our citizens are deserving Of credit
for their active exertions ON this occasion,
and, we think, in great measure, re-
trieycd their character which was, GER
tainly, so very censurable at distressing
fire on King street a few days since.

resoundcd in our strects-it proved to be
in same MISUNDERSTANDING from not
having been entirely extinguished-a few
buckets of water soon arrested its pro-
gress-and sincerely hope it is the last.

Since you're my oyermatch;

So said, so done. 6 Now since I've pass'd,
Because you would compel me,

Be good enough to tell me-"
