COUNTERFEIT BILLS of the denomination of
three dollars Of the Cranston Bank, we'll exc
cuted are in circulation. The particular marks
of distinction from the true ones, we are unac-
quainted with, except that the paper is shade

GoLD MINES. A letter from North Carolina,
under date of 3lst May is published in the
Richmond Enquirer, which says =" The pop
uation of the country for nearly one hundred
miles square agonizing under the continued
and increasing fever for gold mills are build
ing; and the machinery at Caps mine has re-
allied 1000 lbs. of pure metal ir' tho last week
SO say the propnetors:'
Considerable quantities of North Carolina
gold are now received at the United States
Mint 1t is a melancholy reflection that we
shall not be able to keep enough of this metal
in the country to serve the purposes of circu-
lating medium, even if our gold region should
yield ten millions a year. Silver abhors the
company of dollar notes, and gold and five dol
| lar notes cannot circulate together.

Weston, IN. " in one house, } mothers, 2
grand-mothers, great grand mother, 3 daugh
tiers, 9 grand daughters, great-grand-daugh

Two men recently decamped from Ware
Village, leaving their creditors out of pocket to
a considerable amount. They had disposed of
a great number Of lottery tickets, and had con-
trived to multiply them TO sell whole
ticket and six quarters all OF the same number.
| This, however, is about as fair as the rest of
the lottery system. Z" Fools are the game
Which knavcs pursue" 1t is reported that
these sharpers were clamorous for reform"
and that one of them had petitioned the post
master general to appoint him postmaster at
| Ware.-NorthGmpton GG2ette
| correspondent of the New York Gazette
states that on tine "a INST. lad StreWed guam
tity of powder upon the side walk in Broad
street, and while another little fellow stopped
to pick it up, the young Nero threw coal of
| fire upon it The victim ofthis wanton cruelty
had the skin thus burnt off his face, and it is
feared will lose his sight.

ton Jail aboat 100 OF which are under $50
each-one ease of father imPrisoning his
own daughter for arrearages due him for sup
plies of shop, from which she obtained her
living. 1t is subject of melancholy rehec-
ton to see many commitments taking place
daily-espccially when there is such scarcity OF
oney.--EUening Gazette.
