days since, lady, having every appearance of
respectable gentility about her, stepped into
Stewards fashionable dry goods store in Broad
way, New York, and purchased shawl, priced
at four hundred dollars, and presented a $1,000
bill on the bank of America to pay for il. The
clerk being suspicious Of the bill, stepped over
to the bank and inquired of the cashier,
who pronounced it genuine The change was
accordingly given her, and she took the pur-
chased shawl, and proceeded as far as the door,
when she stepped back and remarked that she
thought she had not better take it until she had
consulted her husband. The $1,000 bill was
then handed her, and she returned the shawl
and the change she had received, and left the
store. Presently she came back and said she
had concluded to take ii, and laying down a
$1,000 note, received again her change, took the
cashmere under her arm and disappeared. After
the lady had gone, IL was discovered that she
had changed the bill, and in place Of the genuine
note had put off upon the clerk o counterfeit
upon the same bank, leaving Mr.. Stewart minus
valuable shawl and six hundred dollars in
money.-New Haven Journal, June 10.
