The weight of this counterfeit is
only 10 grams, while that Of the gen

is such as to be plainly perceptible on

the diminutive size of the coins.
The countefeit is dangerous from the
fact that being so small it is not apt to
be so closely scrutinized as would be

New PHASES OF MoRMoNlsM Joe
Smith, it will be remembered, was
rather a bellicose kind of prophet.
Sometimes he was demonstrated with
and pretty closely questioned. Mr..
Quincy told good joke about Joe, as
Illustrative of his ingenuity and digni-
ty. Said Joe: IF man smite thee
on the right cheek, turn to him The
other also, but if he should then strike
thee on the left cheek, pitch info The
tellomi" Mr. Quincy told another
good joke of Joe, at Nauvoo, when an
offensive and rebellious gentleman was
found among them; he was very
formally waited upon and requested
to sell out If he then persisted in
remaining, three men were despatched
to sit down at his door and white !;
when he went into his fields they fol-
lowed and whitfield when he went
off to town to trade, they followed him
whiting; if he went to church or the
tavern, there were the eternal whit
tiers, grave as judges, never smiling.
This was more than human nature
could stand, and at last the obstinate
fellow would give up and cut stick

He then requested Tuttle to allow him

stated that he was ready to pay the

Brown for the whole bill. The case

Of a female from Baltimore, about 90
