"A gentleman In d certain countyin En-.

siderable fortune, and with many other
charms, yet finding, in very short time,
that she was of high domineering spirit,
and always contending to be mistress Of him

her. Accordingly he went to her father,
and told him he found his daughter of such
temper and was so heartily tired Of her.
that il he would take her home again, he
would return every penny of her fortune.
The old gentleman having inquired into
the cause OF his complaint, asked him
why he should be more disquieted at il
than any other married man, since it was
the common case with them ALL and conse-

that f phraim Low, who has long been sus-
pected OF being the agent in the North OF
the western dealers in counterfeit money,
was arrested at his residence in Groom, Vt.

was issued, and Lows house was searched
by Mr.. Sheriff Whitney. In trunk were
found packages of bills, each purporting
10 contain $500 in counterfeit five dollar
notes, all on the bank of Burlington, VT.
On examining the packages, one Of them
was found to contain $465, SO that the en-
tire sum amounted 10 $3.50. Low has
