CLIPPED CoIN.-There is q great quantity OF
mutated coin in circulation at present. About
one eighth of the fractional Spanish pieces have
been either clipped bored or sweated. Many OF

best way to put a stop to this easy method Of
swinding the community is to refuse to take at
| the nominal value, every coin that has been thus
dealt with. Ths would drive the light
pieccs out of circulation.
