NEW CoUNTERFEIT.-We learn from the
Lancaster Tribune that Counterfeit Five Dollar
bills on the Harrisburg Bank ale in circulation
in that vicinity. They are of Letter A, and
of various dates. The signature of Thomas
Elder, the President, is pretty well initiated
but that of J. w. Wier, the Cashier, is poorly
executed. The engraving of the whole note
is very coarseiy done, and not at all calculated
to deceive any one who has the least Judge
mcnt IN such matters.
Counterfeit THrees on the Belvidere Bank
are now in circulation the filing up is rathe.
smoothly done, but the bungling manner in
which the name Of the bank in the body OF the
bill is inserted, will readily detect the coun-

resents shipping. steamboat, g., in the harbor

The PENNSYLVANIA RAILRoAD.-This
great work is steadily progressing towards
completion, and il two years il is conf
dently expected that it will be finished and
IN operation. 4 letter from the Associate
Engineer, Mr. Miller, to the President of
the Company, says the road as far as COM
pleted, to Lewistown, earns an amount
equal TO five per cent. per anum on the
cost, although 1t IS not yet sufficiently adj
vanced to command large share of the
Western travel. 4 further section will be
opened to Waynesburgh early in the win
ter; to Huntingdon in time for next spring
business; and to Hollidaysburg by next
summer. This will bring the road, bv a
connection with the Portage, within seven
ty miles of Pitsburg, by turnpike, and lO3
miles by canal. The part of the Western
division just put under contract will extend
the road twcnty-six miles further west
ward, and beyond all the ranges of West
crn Pennsylvania. OF this distance, four
teen miles of the heaviest work have been
assigned TO able and respectable contract
ors, to be commenced Immediately, and
completed April lst, 1851. The remain
der is light work, and will be commenced
IN the spring, together with an additional
section OF similar character in connection
with 1t, which will bring the road TO the
Southern Turnpike, AT point about forty
miles from Pitlsbnrg, all of which will be
pushed SO as to be completed simultane-
ously by the time above named. By the
spring OF 1852, from present appearances,
the ears will be running from Philadelphia
TO Pittsburg.

There was in the earlier part of the sea-
son, considerable fear manifested that the
towns and cities i'll the Mississippi valley
would, on the approach Of warm weather be
generally visited by the dreadful ,eourge,
the cholera. The opening Of spring, howe
yer, appear. not TO have added to the viru-
lence of the epidemic on the lower Missis-
sippi, AMI encourages the hope that the
worst of it has passed over. Wehave been
watching our southern exchanges with some
care, but cannot find that it RACES anywhere
to serious extent. 1t hangs around the
purleus Of New Orleans, and still carries of
half dozen day, and there are occasional
cases at Vicksburg, Memphis, &C., but There
is no alarming increase as the weather
grows warmer. At St. Louis, the Republi-
can Of Saturday says, "From March 18th
noon, to March Goth, noon, there were i,cen-
ty.fre cases Of cholera reported at the Re-
gist.r's office. OF these fifteen died, the
others are either convalescent, or result not
yet ascertained. Fourtee were hands from
steamboats,, and emigran's lately arrived,
the others persons residing here"
There are mmors of occasional cases on
the Ohio river; they are probably boa,
hands. We have heard Of no case north Of
