CiiiznnS' Ranh. Cautian!

Our neighborhood continues to be food
ed with worthless notes of all denomina.
tons, purpOrting to be on the.
Citizens Bank Of Washington, D. c
Citizens Bank of Baltimore, nd.
Citizens Bank of Cumberland, r. L
Citizens Bank Of Worcester, Mass.
They are all genuine notes Of the (bro-
ken) Citizens Bank of Washington, D. c.,
and are altered by erasing the word
HaS5ingto7, and printingin in Cune5cr1ond,
or TTorccstcr. &c. As this is done not Oh
the Plate, but on each note, they can with
the same ease be altcredto any Citizens
Bank in the land, and we would advise all
who are not good Judges to refuse all notes
upon every Citizens Bank, without re-
gard to where they hail from.
There seems to be good reason to sup
pose that some one in our vicinity has a
stock of these notes, and altering and is
suing them in our midst as opportunity
offers.
The denominations so far noticed are
20s, los, 3s, and Is.
We understand that some two OF three
hundred dollars Of these worthless notes
have been offered by different individuals
and at different times, at the Banking
office in this town; and altogether the loss
10 our citizens must have been considera-
bic; but having frequently called attention
to these notes, we hope none Of the read
ers Of the Ga2c1tc are among the suffer
ers.-lHuuch Cbunk Gazette.

PerilGus Encounter with a Shark

On the 30th of April, while FIVE young
soldiers, stationed at Corfu, were sailing
along at rapid rate, the boat in which
they were received a sudden shock as if it
had run upon rock, which nearly cap
sized her. One of the soldiers having
looked over the side, perceived large
shark swimming close to the boat, but it
disappeared on his throwing bottle at
it. y number Of porpoises were also a
bout, and one of these was harpooned by
soldier named Flowers, son of Mr.. Flow
ers, chimney-sweepcr, Theatre street,
Warwick. On being struck the purpose
Immediately dived, and the line being
entangled round the arm of a shldier
named Hanson, he was dragged into the
water. Flowers seeing Hanson about
thirty yards from the boat making for a
rock, turned the boat in that direction
and nearly overlook him, but, when with
in about six yards Of him, one Of his COM
panions cried out that there was a shark
going towards Hanson Flowers seized
knife which stuck in the side of the boat,
plunged head first into the water, and di-
wing underneath the shark turned himself
on his back, and thrust, the knife into the
belly Of the monster in several places; but
it was Of little use, the shark having
seized upon Hanson, and taken his leg off
near the knee. Flowers then endeavored
to get his comrade on his back, but both
of them were nearly exhausted He sue
ceeded, however, in getting him into the
boat, and wound up the wound with his
shirt. When they reached the hospital
their unfortunate comrade was nearly
dead with exhaustion, but after a short
sime recovered. While on their way they
captured the wounded shark, and towed
it on shore. 1t weighed 234 pounds, and
when opened, the leg was found in its
throat, the bone mangled to bits. The
body Of the shark has been placed in the
Sailors Home, of Corfu.

Brute POHar.

The Parkersburg (Va.) Gazette says
the following strange incident was com,
municated by one whose staid and truth
ful character is a sufficient guarantee a
gainst hoaxing:
-" While passing through sparcely

Gently, he found farmer breaking ground
after this novel fashion-dad held the
plough, which was propelled by two OF
his children, boy and girl! About
one quarter Of an acre was turned up in
this way, but much more remained to be
drugged over by this hapless yoke of hu-
mans. There was brute power behind
aud not before the plough. Out of re-
spect for its other inhabitants, we will not
name the county in which this brutal ex-
hibltion was witnessed.

The Whtg Nominee fer Judge CT
lie SUPREME Court.

The Inquirer in referring to the action
of the Wig State Convention, speaks
thus of the Candidate selected:
1t has already been announced in our
columns, that the Wing State Convention
which assembled at Huntingdon on Thurs
day last, after due consideration, nomina-
ted Thomas A. Budd, Esq, Of this city,
as the candidate of the party for judge
Of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
The Convention was we'll attended, and
its proceedings throughout were cordial
and harmonious. Mr.. Budd is a promi-
ncnt, able and influential member of the
Philadelphia Bar. lie has had much ex-
periencc as a lawyer, maintains a reputa-
ton of the highest character for manli-
ness and integrity, while there are few
men who deservcdly enjoy greater de-
gree Of popularity among his profession.
lie is modest and unobtrusive, and has
never sought public position. Calm,
thoughtful. well informed, and ripe OF
jud gmeLt, be possesses all tue qualifca-
tons for the distinguished post for which
he has been nominated, aud will doubtless
receive a liberal ard enthusiastic support.
\ native Of Philadelphia, widely known
and generally esteemed, the selection can
not but be regarded as judicious under
the circumstances, and it will he received
with marked favor. Among the delegates
OF the Convention were many Of the most
distinguished men Of the State, and the
intelligence they gave Of the prospects Of
the cause and the party, was of the most
gratifying character. We look forward
to the results of the campaign not only
with hope, but with confidence. The
profigacy and corruption that have char
actcrizcd the management of our public
works, have inspired lively feeling of
Indignation throughout the entire Com
monwealth, and the days Of the existing
dynasty may be regarded as numbered.

EmD0rtaDt Invention.

The Londan papers just received an
nounce the following invention, which, II
the promises here given should be verified
is likely to prove of extensive utility:
John W. Bennett has discovered
very effectual means of preserving writ
ings, charts, bank bills, and pictures, as
we'll from injury by time as from forgery
or alteration. The process is most
simple one, and consists merely of RUM
ing a very delicate coating of gutta per-
cha solution over the surface of the arti-
Gle. 1t is perfectly transparent, and IS
said to improve the appearance of Pic
lures. BY coating both sides of an i'm
portant document it can be kept in the
best preservation. 1t renders it water
proof, and the plan would thus be valua-
bic one for ship charts. If used on bank
bills it woud be most afficient means of
preventing fraud, inasmuch as no alter
alton could be made on the face of the
bill without removing the coating, which
it would be impossible to do without de-
destroying the whole

that amount at the credit of the sinking

and to make annual payments to the same

Have You Seen the Comet (!

The tailed orb that recently hove in
sight in the north western section of the
'sea of space has been steadily pursuing
its voyage sunward during the past ten
days, and is now supposed t. be as near
as it can get to the centre of our system.
In astronomical parlance, it has reached
its perihclion, or thereabouts. There IS
no chance Of a collision, however, for al
though the lons-taiIed locomotive runs on
Il single track, it will not approach with
in thirty millions Of miles OF old Sol, un-
less it should dart from its orbit-a con
tingcncy which the absence of blind cur
YES, switches, draws, and thick-headed
conductors, on the air lines above, rem
ders it in the highest degree improbable.
The brilliant visitor now pursuing its
paranthetical journey within our field of
vision was first discovered at Cottingen,
last June. Its apparent size is about that
of large tadpoIe, and it is good deal
more luminous than some Of the descrip
tious of it.

1 E.uakV Californian.

A letter from California relates many
peculiar sights and incidents, one Of which
is about rich young man having to turn
washer-woman. II have met young
man who at home moved in the best cir
clcs Of society, and is a gentleman every
inch Of him, failing to make anything in
the mines, went into a certain town, and
actually took in washing, and cleansed
for his bread, the filthy garments Ofthose
who, at home, he would not acknowledge
as acquaiutauces. It was rather an anu
sing sight to sec him at the wash tub, soa-
king and scrujbing the dirty linen of his
motley patrons, swearing at his folly and
upbraidins his luck.

Cur State Works,

The editors of the Holllidaysburg Reg
ister, in an article on the subject of the
evils and corruptions OF the present sys-
TEN Of carrying on our Public Works,
very truly says:
What began in right, party politics has
corrupted for money. What should nave
been a monument of pride is now a mon
umcnt of shame. Our State improve
ments now breed more dishonesty, spec
ulation, and even petty larcency, than all
other hot beds of vice in our land. The
partizan idler and dronc; the party pimp,
and paupcr-the hold plunderer, and the
cunning chcat-hide and harbor and get
fat and sleek along and upon our canals
and railroads. Enboldened by the sue
cess Of their predecessors, and the easy
familiarity with which State officers, toy
with the public treasure, they become
impudent in their shame, and treat as a
pleasant joke, conduct which a few years
ago would have been called theft, The
most successful now, is deemed the most
shrewed. The talent for taking care Of
yourself is the best recommendation to
place.

Mr.. G. p McLanc, of Mississippi, and
others, partially explored a cave last weel
in lIuhlenburg County, about ten miles
south Of Greenyille. The cave was frs
discovered last Winter by a person who
tracked several racoons into it. Mr.. Nc
Lane and his companions went in, as they
supposed, about two miles, when they
came to pit which they could not pass
for the want of ladder, but they saw
that the cave extended beyond. While
travelling the two miles, they discovered
eight or ten branches leading off in differ
ent directions, some Of them apparently
larger than the direct avenue. A petri-
fed monkey, as perfect in shape as if it
were alive, was found in the cave some
weeks ago, and we understand that it has
been sent to the Worlds Fair in New
York.
