uine, u beautifully wrought, whist in the coun-
tereit, II is faint and but partially formed. Ne.
tce also, that the female upon the left of the bill

Is a flourish or hair stroke, which is delicate and
nearly touches the marginal border in which the

the right; railroad cars in the distance OH tho
left; large in the centre of the vignette an
eagle at the bottom. The words "State Bank
OF Ohio" larger than the genuine.
Us, general app 'arance calculated to deceive, but
on examination and comparison with the gsnu.
ing, will be found crude, aud imperfect in de-
tail. The prominent hgul es ia the counterfeit.
are lacking in expression and careful minute,
ness. Faces, hands, implements, &C., IN the
central vignetc, are blurred aud indistinct.--
Portrait of Gen. Harrison on left hand end, OBJ.
scure aud undecided; in the genuine the figure
is distinctly relieved from the back ground, the.
coat showing dark in color against it The
dogs head on the bottom part, between the
signatures, is rough and coarse, and the scrolls.
containing the words "Mutual Liaby" on eth
er side, are faint, and smaller than the genuine.
The figure OF Minerva the right side, is
perhaps one of the best tests of comparison; in
the genuine, the spear in the right hand OF the
figure, touches the letter 7 in Ten, above;
while in the counterfeit it is midway between
tn. letters T. and f; aud on the breast.piate .
face is distinctly seen in the centre. The word
Ten, under the figure, is pale and weak in stad-
ing, but dark and plain in the genuine.
s, various branches; good imitation. Detect
by the star or areoIa (on the back) at the end Of
the bar enclosing the words estate Bank Of
Ohio;" being set in the centre OF square block.
which is not so in the genuine.
