COUNTERPART NOTES.-The Mobile Herald OF
Saturday gives a description of two counterfeit
bills on the Bank of Mobile, of the denomination
of 500, which have just reached that city. They
look as though they were just from the hands of
the manufacturer. The difference between them
and the genuine bills is as follows: In the coun-
terfeit the 500 is in large figures on each corner,
in the genuine the 500 is on the two lower corners
only. The signatures are pretty we'll executed, ex-
cept in the Presidents name, which is spelled W.
X. Hellett, instead Of w. r. Hallett. They are
printed on good paper, and look very well, but the
only resemblance on the face to the genuine is in
the words Bank of Mobile" In the genuine,
" The +" is over the word Bank" in the other at
the left of it. In the genuine, aso an Indian chief
is on the left end, in the spurious steamship In
the centre of the genuine, on the upper edge there
is picture of the Goddess of Justice in the lower
edge an eagle. There are some other distinctive
marks Of difference, but these will show the reader
how easily to detect the counterfeit. The two bills
seen are dated Nov. q, 1s47. They were sent to
Mobile from Montgomery, and are understood to be
from Georgia. The Bank of Mobile is the only
bank in operation in the State of Alabama, and
its bills form the bulk of the currency of the State

ARREST IN SOUTH CAROLINA OF A SUPPOSED
ABOLITION EMIssARY.-John M. Barrett, of Ohio,
has been arrested in Spartanburg, S. c., on the
charge of being an agent of abOlitionism, in dis
terminating incendiary publications. An ineffec-
tual attempt was made some time since to arrest
him in Columbia. warrant was got out for his
apprehension at Spartanburg. in anticipation of
his arrival there. Letters directed to him, from
Ohio and Indiana, reached that Post-offce, and
were delivered to him by the Postmaster immed
ately on his arrival, and the warrant was at the
same time served On searching him, these letters
wers taken from him, and they appear to stregthen
the suspicion that his visit, although ostensiby to
collect information for the Gazetteer of f. Har-
wood & Co OF New York, was concerned in the
distribution of anti-slavery documents of violent
character Several very offensive publications
were found in his possession, addressed to gentle
men of South Carolina, and the letters to himself
are of very violent anti-slavery character.
He alleges. and there good deal of reason in it,
that he ought not to be held responsible for the
tone of letters addressed to him, for sealed let
tiers which he brings to persons in South Carolina
who are known. For any act traced to him, he
will probably be held 10 rigid accountability
He was treated with personal courtesy, permitted
to address town meeting in his defence, and has
been regularly committed for trial on charge of
violation of the State laws.

THE STRIPED BUNTING IN New Brunswick
We find in StaJohn paper report of the pro.
ceedngs of the City Council of a late date: I" Hi,
Worship the Mayor, stated that his attention thai
day had been directed by persons to piece OF
striped stuff, hanging out in front of store in
Water street, and there appeared to be consid-
cradle excitement, he called into the store about the
matter. He wished to know of the Board what
course should be adopted, in case any difficulties
should arise. HIS Honor, the Recorder, stated that
they had no power to interfere with the rights of
citizens-that they were at liberty to hang out any
thing they pleased in front of their DOORS 1t was
like persons wearing or displaying parti-colored
nbbons-they had to stand tho consequences of
their own acts, whatever might ensue.''
This piece of striped stuff" was the American
flag 1t is not the first time that its appearance has
created a considerable excitement, nor will prob

ARAB HORsE-sTEALING.

So adroit are the Arabs at horse.stealng, that
they have been known to escape with horse from
the very centre of camp. These predatory horse
fanciers reject with disdan bad cattle, and it is al
ways the finest horses that disappear in SO mystic
rious manner, in spite of sentinels and tsthers.
Gifted with the most untring patience, the Moslem
horse stealer employs many cunning manRuvres to
appropriate such horses as please him. For in
stance, where there are cumps of brushwOOd in
and about the bivouack, he will transform himself
into walking bush, fastening around his body
boughs of brushwood carefully arranged so as to
cover him from head to foot; then, as the darkness
comes on, will he station himself, watching with
the eye of the lynx each movement of the sentinel
he advances inch by inch, taking advantage OF
each change of guard to gain ground. An hour
does not advance him more than few yards. The
sentinel sees nothing but mass of brushwood, and
confounds it with those scattered around. At last,
the coveted horse at hand the crafty Arab quits
for an instant his Disguise, detaches the foot-sirap.
and attaches in its place small cord of great
length. His leafy cloak again resumed, he COM
mences his retreat and, arrived at distance, gen.
thy tugs the cord. The horse advances step or
two, then graZes another jerk produces another
step or two; and after due perseverance he Is at
the confines of the camp, mounted and galoping
like lightning. Others will advance in the same
sfealthy manner upon their bellies, merely holding
a branch before them. Numerous indeed are the
man9uvres thus put in practice by the African
horse-sleaer. and often is he successful but wO
belde him if he is caught, for the morning sun will
shine upon his head, rolling, bloody and gaping,
before the French commanders tent, much 10 the
benefit of him who cut it of. The Marshal gives
ten francs head for these nocturnal visters and
this being treasure for poor sentinel, have often
had strong suspicious, though perhaps unjusty that
more than one head was brought into camp, which,
by the chronological formation of it, had never
sufficiency of wit to have belonged to horse
sealer, but had probably wagged on the shoulders
of some unfortunate, led by curiosity within the
purlieus of the camp too early in the morning for
his personal safety.-Borrer's Campaigns. :

o. Mrs. Butler gave one of her readings last
week at Canandaigua. She was advertise in the
village newspapers to read Much Ado About
Nothing" On the day of reading, at the request
Of several citizens, by whom she had been invited
there, she changed the play and read Hamlet"
An honest shop keeper heard the reading, and be-

next morning he happened to see the advertisement
in the paper, and went TO a gentleman with it,
foaming and boiling over with rage. ".See here"
said he, ''what these infamous scoundrels have

to stand towards them in loco parents, and force
them to industry and reformed habits.
A single fact in this connection will illustrate the
difficulties of the case. During the winter months
the secretary of the Boston Employment Society
had in charge ~ boys of foreign parentage; all Of
them were exceedingly destitute, themselves and
friends living mostly on charity Good homes were
offered to these boys in the country, where they
would be educated to usefulness; but only II of the
~ could be persuaded to accept of the benefits. In
view of such facts it seems if there ought to be
lodged somewhere power to rescue these young
their parents from their inevitable tendencies to
crime. The State is to be the sufferer from their
vicious courses, and ought not the State to have
authority to take seasonable measures for its pro-
tection'
yellow covered pamphlet has just been laid
upon my table, entitled, Report of the Directors
of the Northern Railroad Company, Ogdensburgh
to Rouse's Point, New York, submitted to the
stockholders" This road, you may be aware, is
almost entirely in the hands of Boston capitalists
The report is signed by G. Parish Abbott Law
renee, and ten others The expenditure of the
company to the 4th inst. has been 81 1895, ST.
The first complete estimate of the road was rather
under S3,O00,OOU. 1t is now proposed that there
should be an issue of bonds by the company, to
procure the means necessary for a proper contnu-
ance of the work; and the belief is expressed, that
such issues need not exceed 81 ZOO, 900. The re-
port states in conclusion:
''The Northern railroad was put under contract
in Its entire length, at the commencement of last
year, since when no efforts have been spared to
push the work at every important point Twelve
miles of the road from Champlain village, Connect
ing the Champain river landing,) to Centreville,
ready for business; to this will be added fifteen
miles by the month Of September, and, if required
the road can be further opened this season to Cha
teauguay, distance of forty-f miles from Lake
Champlain OF the remaining distance, west,
about fifty miles are further advanced than any
other portion of the line, of same extent and the
entire work is at present in forward state that
1t requires but an ordinary exerton of the same
means hitherto employed, to ensure the opening of
the whole line by the summer of next year"
