A VERY DANGEROUS COUNTER FELT
The Philadelphia Bulletin. of Thursda y
says:
1--WE were shown this morning a coun-
terfeit half eagle, so skiIfulIy made as 10
render it necessary for all to be on their
guard. II was taken at one of our banks,
where it escaped detection, and was paid
Out. Subsequently it was received at tho
Custom House. and was only detected by
its trial upon the delicate scales 10 uss
there. The coin is on The surfase of pure
gold. and tho impressions are in every
respect perfect limitations OF the gepuine.-
Upon breaking it open, however. il was
ascerlaned. that the gold was only about
the thickness Of ordinary writing paper,
the inner part being Of zinc, lead, or some
olher base metal. The difference in the
weight Of this and the the genuine half
eagle is scarcely appreciable upon ordinary
scales, and the external appearance is so
exactly like those issued from the Mint az
to prevent the detection" OF The counterfeit
by an ocular examination. Let all be on
their guard agains, it,"

that the disease is passing away.-Char.

down Chestnut street 10 The New York
boat, with his cloak thrown over his arm,
bis carpe, bag held by one hand, and his
sword in green baize bag by the olher.-
We never saw such change in a gentle.
man in so short lime; he looked mourn
fully detected, the very reverse of what he
was when we last saw him. The smile of
fortune strangely metamorphoses.
Count Montholon, the person who is ex-
pected 10 succeed Mons. Poussin as French
Minister, is The gentlemen whn is so well

The late consular agent for many years Of

the opinion OF this Board, ought 10 be re-
established.

This Board, The people have in their own

EDUCATION.

One ofthe Normal Schools authorized
by the Legislature Of Iowa, at its last SEES
sion, is in fair way Of being organized
at Andrew, Jackson county, and prelimi
nary arrangements have been made to
secure an early organization Of another
at Mount Pleasant. The course Of in.
struc,ion in the school at Andrew, is the
same as that pursued in the State Schools
of New York and Pennsylvania; and,
Judging from the zeal and energy display
ed by the intelligent, philosophical trus-
tees, we may assure the friends of Edu-
cation, that this school is destined TO pc
one Of those nurseries Of youth, whose
pnpils will bear ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
fruit will be beautiful to the mora, taste
whose influence upon tie community will
be elevating in is character, and perma-
nent II lis progress. Such at least are
some Of the objects for which the estab-
lishment Of these schools has been autho-
rized, and such are some Of the good ef-
fects we wish to see them have upon the
community, by whom, ard for whose be-
nefit, they have been instituted.
