FORGERY IN AUGUSTA, MAINE. We learn
from the Gospel Banner that a provision deal
er in Augusta, named Alonzo Ellis, has been
guilty of series of foTgeries which have rare
ly been surpassed. He has been carrying on
his operations for several months, and has
forged the name of his father and those of
some of the most prominent citizens of the
place. His operations have been with the
State, Freeman's and Granite Banks of Au-
gusta. the Northern and American of Halo
well, the WatervilIe banks. and the Canton
Bank of China. The whole amount of his
liabilities, as ascertained, is about SIS. .O0O-
most of it raised on forged paper. 1t is ex-
pected that he is concealed somewhere in the
vicinity.
