in his route TO Kentucky, and returned TO New

COIlNTERFEITS.

The Richmond papers state that counterfeit ten
dollar notes, Of the Farmers Bank Of Virsnu, in
imitation of the latest plate of that Bank for that
amount are said to be in circulation. The general
cast Of the engraving is calculated to deceive. but
the writing OF VIM. H. mcfarland Pres. and j.
G. Blair. Cash, is a clumsy imitation of the genu'
inc signatures. The notes so far seen, are filled
in with the office at Lynchbors, to WIN. Radford,
