Beware Of Counierfeas-Having lately seen a
counterfeit IS note of the State Bank of n. G.
SO well executed that a careless observer would
not hesitate to take it, we have obtained the
following description of the different denomi-
nations Of counterfeit notes on that bank, by at
tending to which they may readily be detected.
So notes purporting to have been issued at
the Principal Bank at Raleigh; payable to RID
Smith, filled up with bad ink, which has turn
ed brown.
SIS and $50 notes, purporting to have been
issued at the Branch Bank in Newbern, and
made payable to H. Collins. There is no such
payee as II Collins on any genuine bill, but
some are made payable to JOS Collins. The
name Collins, and the word Newborn, arc bad
ly written. In other respects the execution is
pretty good.
$40 Notes Of the Principal Bank at Raleigh,
payable to II. Porter, filled up in good hama
writing, but with very indifferent ink. These
notes are well executed Fayetteville Observer.

entitled to far more consideration than they at
present en- Joy. They nurse their children, make
gardens, tend the stock, frequently work in the
field, and when the meal is prepared, even the
mistress Of the house, will wait upon her lord
and master and the male part OF the family, and
not think Of satisfying her own hunger until they
rise from table. Come what may, the husband
almost invariably finds in his wife a willing
friend and a faithful slave. She cheer fully
shares his tolls and assists him in his labors;
and though suffering under affection, poverty,
and prlvation5, frequently shamefuily neglected
and brutally abused, still will this faithful crea-
ture be found adhering to her husband, and oft
en- contributing most essentially 10 his support
and that of her children.
This character is daily exhibited, but a strik-
ing instance occurred during the last week.
One Of our Golfers, not the most estimable be-
ing in the community, was displeased Ynh his
wife and threatened her with violence: S. tho
blamelesS, strove 20 appease his anger by cou-
bic attention and care, to made his home and
meal more comfortable, but in vain; he came
home, lowered and threatened, and as soon as
they'were alone, he beat, and would have ia,
ken her life by strangling her, but for the time.
