heart is, amt It young lady? There is as
much difference in hearts as in facer. A
woman's heart is sacred thing, and full

a pretty girl love him so well that she will
give it to him,and Tell him that it loves him

On GENTLEMAN.

SUSPICIOUS Ion Saturday evening last a
man in the Western Stage as il approached
this village, sold a rife to a fellow passenger,
and received therefor two FIVE dollar bills on
the Maine Bank, of Portland; the buyer soon
after got out Of the stage and stopped in the
West Village. Upon his arrival here, The
seller showed his money and il was manifestly
counterfeit. A warrant was made out and
the buyer was arrested 10 the West Village,
brought down here, and examined before Judge
Smith. He stated his name to be Reuben
Prouty Jr. Of Spencer, Mass. he professed to
be entirely ignorant that the bills were bad ;
said that he received them from a mau in Hoo
sack, N. Y. as good, aud that be had passed
other bills just like them on the journey. He
produced his pockei-book, which contained
eleven dollars of good money, and one coun-
terfeit bill, and said that he had no other money
with him whatever. Upon searching his
trunk, a small lot ofcounterieit half and quarter
dollars, were found: a closer examination Of
his person, brought TO light another pocket
hook containing between $500 and $500 Of
counterfeit money, consisting chiefly of bills on
the Yates County Bank, Auburn, N. r., Am
herst Bank, Mass and Maine Bank, Portland.
and a few on Banks in Hartford, Conn. The
bills on the Amherst Bank, were said by good
judges to be excellently well executed
Prouty protested that these bills did not belong
to him he was merely carrying them for a
man in Hoosact, TO pay a debt owed by him TO
a firm in Massachusetts.

He was ordered to end bail for his appearance
for his trial al the next April Term Of the
County Court for this County, and failing to

that purpose, he was committed TO Jail in New
Fame.

does their situation in our Asylum present.
