think, to assume Father an ominous character;

several quarters must have tagged in their ex-

An ,her link in the chain Of Communication,
is about TO be effected. We are informed that
in a few days the stage line from this city to
Steubenyille, will be extended beyond the latter
place to Wheeling; and that the trip will be
performed in one day, in a four horse stage,
three times a week. The route will embrace
Wellsburgh in Virginia, and is, for the whole
distance, one Of the bes, summer roads in this
neighborhood. A person wishing to SO direct
from Wheeling to Philadelphia, can by taking
this route perform the trip in FIVE and a half
days, with very little night riding.

"The government of New Harmony, on the

them now reside at Neville vile, on the Ohio,
and it is stated that Mr.. Owen himself has
started for Scotland, convinced of nothing re-
speeding his system o. sociality, except that it
is not adapted 10 this country. From all that
Can gather he has been well pluckeed on every

ABOUT the mlIulC u MS UDOU(u, q CnCSh was
presented at the Rank Of Virginia, drawn by
Geo. Newton, President Of the Office OF the
Bank of the U. States at Norfolk, on the office
of the Same Bank at Baltimore, for $4,000 in
favor OF Thomas Busan. AS the man was a
stranger, and the amount considerable, the tel
Ter Mr.. Anthony Robinson, jr. at first declined
taking the check. The man then stated, that
he had occasion for about $1,000, at this place,
which he would take in Virginia notes, and
that he wanted the balance in Baltimore or U.
States notes, and produced his bank book, shew-
ing his account with the office at Norfolk. As
there was nothing In the face Of the check 10
excite suspicion Of its genuineness, and the tel
Ter was well acquainted with the signature OF
Mr.. Newton, he after some hesitation, took the
check and paid the man in the way he wished.
After some days, the check was sen, to Balti-
more, and payment refused by the office there,
on the ground that it had been altered from 70
dollars TO 5000. 1t appears, that the word
seventy dollars" had been taken out by some
chemical process, without injury 10 the paper,
and the large sum very skilfully inserted. The
man, it seems, has successfully played the same
game with one of the Banks, IN the District OF
Columbia, and his rapacity not being satisfied,
attempted a similar fraud on the banks of New
Brunswick, IN. j. where he has been arrested
with the money about him, and committed TO
Jail Mr.. Robinson is gone on to identify his
person, and 1t is hoped The money will be reco,-
cred, and The man who called himself John
Smith, when taken into custody will meet with
the reward Of his crimes. Norfolk Beacon.
