A DEN OF COUNTERFEITERS~
TRAORDINARY DEVEL OPMENTS.

An engraver of Cincinnati says the Times of
that city, having occasion to execute fine piece
OF work, took up his abode at the engraving es-
Enlistment of one Robert Neil, photographer
and steel plate printer, at Mount Carmel, about
j ID miles from the city.
One day, during the absence of Neil, he OBJ
served an impression ola bank note upon one of
the press boards in Neil's printing room. His
suspicious were aroused, knowing we'll that Neil
had no authority to print bank notes, and he inn
mediateiy came to the city and communicated
the information to the President of one of our
banks, who advised him to return and institute
further investigations, which he did After re-
turning, he got into conversation with an igno,
rant German, who had been in the employ of
Neil for three years, and learned that he got but
S13 per month; he told him he could get him a
sltuatlon in the city at a salary of S13 per
week; but adds the gentleman, syou cannot print
bank notes, can you?" "Oh, yes,'' SAYS the
German, ''but you must not tell Neil, as | am
sworn not to say any thing about it by Mr.. Neil,
who says he prints for the State" He was then
told that he had been making counterfeit money,
and was liable to imprisonment in the Peniten-
tlaiy. The German became alarmed, hurried
off to Neil, and refused to work any more, and
Informed him what had been told. The gen.
| tleman Immediately came to the city with the
German, and the information was impaired to
the officers. U. S. Deputy Marshal, S. B.
Hsyman, accompanied by other officers, imme-
diately proceeded to Neil's residence, but the
bird had not only fled, but destroyed every
thing which could be brought against him as
evidence.
The German states that over 100000 in
counterfeit money had been made by Neil du-
ring the past two years. The notes were SOS,
COS, los and SIS upon the State Banks of Ohio
and Indiana, and COS, los and SIS upon the
Northern Bank of Kentucky. Mr.. Iiaylnan
followed him to New York, but losing all trace
CT him there, it is supposed that he has fled to
Europe. Many things have been elected since
the discovery, duplicating persons of high
standing in the vicinity of Cincinnati. 1t is
supposed that his establishment has furnished
all the counterfeit money on the above banks,
that has flooded the country for two years past.
