A DANGEROUS CouNrERFE1T.---A large
number of counterfeit ten dollar bills on the
Iron Bank Of Ironton was put in circulation
in this city on Saturday last, and many who
considered themselves good judges of money
were badly bitten. The notes are exceeding
ly well done, the engraving is excellent, but
the paper is poor, of very light color, and
the bills are nearly one-eighth of an inch
wider than the genuine notes. These bills
appear to have been put in circulation sim
ultaneously in Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton
and probably elsewhere. People who take
the papers should look out. As for Others,
it don't matter.-IO o. S. Journal.

The AMERICAN CoMMIssIoNERs.--Maj Nor
decai, Col Delafeld, and Capt. Mcclellan,
the three American commissioners, who re-
Gently visited France with the object Of OBJ
tanning permission from the emperor to pass
through the French army at the Crimea,
were not received as favorably, (the Phia-
delpha Inquirer is informed) as was antici-
pated, and they Immediately left for Berlin

tesy. Their visit is altogether Of a scientific
nature.
