Local Matters.

COUNTERFEIT "TESs"-A genteel looking young
man, calling himself McCrea, who has of late been
enjoying himself in this city, making his abode at
Beers Hotel; was detected on Saturday night last
in passing off counterfeit ten dollar notes purport-
ing TO be of the State Bank Of Ohio. Mr.. Stevens
and Mr.. Parker, storekeepers the Avenue,
discovering the character of the notes they had re-
| ceived, called on Mr.. McCrea and induced him TO
redeem them by the payment Of good money We
believe that Mr.. Mast, Mr.. Basanelli, and others,
were. less fortunate, "a Mr. McCrea thought the
| frequency of the calls upon him might prove trou-
! blesome, and therefore moved off on Sunday with
out his baggage. Squire Donn, yesterday, issued
warrant for his arrest, and officer Reese is in pur
cult. 1t is not unlikely that the paper currency of
our city has been expanded by the issues of this
gentleman If so, some folks will have TO suffer.
