forgery for since the public have become aware OF
the value of the genuine and the worthlessness of
the counterfeit those having the spurious have found
1t impossible to sell some of them, therefore, have
commenced forging Mr.. Blake's brand and putting
IT upon the barrels and sell them as his paint we
understand that Mr.. Blake has just returned nom
Philadelphia, where he found about hundred bar
rels of this counterfeit stuff IN the hands of different
individuals, with his brand upon IT, and he lmmed-
ately commenced suits against them, being deter
mined to prosecute not only any one who counter
feits his brand but all who infringe his patent. The
public may detect these counterfets from the fact
that in the genuine the words Blakes patent Fire
proof are put the barrels in circular form, and
the word Paint straigh, but in the forged brand
Blakes Patent is put on straight, and Fireproof
Metallic PANT" in circular form. We therefore
would caution those who wish to get the genuine
article to be very particular IN examining the brand,
or go directly to Mr. Blake's, at si Pearl-st where
they not only can depend upon getting the genuine
article but have no fear Of infringing any ones

The HAPPY FAMILY.-Some days since
a Western Editor who chanced to be located at the
Asior was attracted by the irresistible magnetism OF
Barnurn's genius to the American Museum, where
his attention was drawn TO the remarkable HAPPY
Family" now figuring at that establishment lie mas
sent US some curious cogitaons on the SUBJECT,
which NAV not be altogether devoid of interest, so
we give some extracts from his reflections IOur
friend has the inveterate editorial plural.l
"One of our morning journals, auding to that
singular anomaly at Banum's Museum, called the
Happy Family pronounces it a type of what we
may expect to ind the condition OF the political
world at the next Presidential election. At Bar
NUNS the cat and the mouse, the rat and the dog,
the hawk and the hen, monkeys bears squirrels rao-
bits owls, partridges &c, seem ALL by common
consent to have land aside natural antipahes, and
associate together in one cage apparently upon the
most amiable and harmonious terms Of communism.
The writer we have mentioned likens this extra
osdnary union TO the fusion OF political parties,
N,ata

of ingenuity, however lacking they may be III con-
