A Quick SLICK RIcK.-The Lexing'

Zone ofthe slickest tricks we have evel
heard of was practsed upon gentleman

Northern Bank. He was standing at the
counter, conversng with one of,he clerks
with his bank book, from the end of which
check for near two hunered dollars was
seen protruded in his hand. While thus
conversing, rogue seeing the check, gen
fly slipped il from the book, unperceived
by the owner, presented it a, the counter
had it cashed, and left the bank without
being detected. Shortly after, the gen
tleman to whom the check belong ed mis-
sed it, and requested the teller to stop il:
payment his astonshment may be con

MULTIcAULIs PAPER.-We noticed a
few days since the fact that paper hap
been manufactured at Petersburg, Va.
from the leaves of the Morus Multicaulls.
The Richmond Enquirer of Friday has
the following paragraph on the subject:
DR.. Spencer, of Petersburg, has been
polite enough to forward to us quire Of
his paper, manufactured from the leaves
OF the Morus Multicauis. We have prln.
ted them off with this days impression Of
the Enquirer, and they will be deposited
in our office for general inspection. The
paper is very substantial, aud glossy ;
and, singular to say, that whilst it is man
ufactured Of the Chinese Mubury, it has
the agreeable oder of the best Chinese
Green Tea. We are not aware Of the pa
ture ofthe process employed by DR.. Spen-
cer-nor of the time, labor, nor expense,
which may be necessary 10 prepare the
leaves for the paper vat-but we trust,
that they may be such as will enable the
manufacturer to su bstlluie them to a GER
tain extent, for rags, which are generally
expensive and difficult to procure. We
shall watch the progress of this discovery
with curiosity, and with interest.

Jail for ten days. This disposition of du-
