About the 2ia of January, Justice Ulmer

port & Elmira railroad, for the arrest of Geo.
w. Browning, of Leroy, Bradford county.
Mr.. Post charged Browning with passing on
him, in payment Of fare, a counterfeit, fve
dollar bill, of the York County Bank. The
warrant was placed in the hands of Consa-
BILE Kemp, who proceeded IN The 5 30 P. VI.
train TO Troy, and from iheEce 10 Leroy,
where he arrested Browning, and returned
with him to WiIliamspor in the next train.

Ten Dollar Counterfeit.

A len dollar counterfeit bill on the Girard
Bark of Philadelphia is in circulation. The
new note is calculated 10 deceive, aud We,
its spurious .character is easily detected.

note, has the same vigneite and medallioIs
but in the genuine there are strong white
lines passing through the engIavings which
are not 10 be peceivsd, or but family in the
counterfeit The most distinctive difference
is however, in the lines or white space.
above and beneath the portrait of Girard.--
These lines in the counterfeit are double tht
width of the genuine. By laying the two
notes together so that the lines will meet, ,h,
difference is al once perceplible. The coun
teifeil is of the letter B. No more len dolla
bills on the old rlaie will be issned by ths
bank.

Capt. De Kay, who is Harwood's bro,her.in-

COMPUTATIONS.

?, Honest Sidney Smith of merry memory
should be among US to touch off the mania
for incorp oIaiions. In our day nothing can
be done without charter. The doctor who
brings you into The world must be The gradu-
ale OF chartered institution. The swaddling
cloths and baby-jumpers Of the infant are
manufactured by an incorporated Company.
The tfnket that first m life delights il is made
by corporation. The Tamble Of The child
is over the grounds of chartered Company.
The youth is educated a, ar incorporated
Academy, and graduates al a chartered Col
lego. The man does business by "Aci oil
Assembly," and worships his God in an in
eorporased church. His food IN health, and
his patent medicine in sickness are provided
for him by corporation. The earth Ne Tread
on, and the waters Of our rivers are given 20
corporations by our legislatures. Your mill
cary companies drill according to Act ol AS
eembly, and FIRE in your city must not be
exiinsuished BY any one bui an Incorporated
monopoly. Sinners are converted and poi
sou is cold by charter. Your legislatures
lesiimizs spawns of grog-shops, and ineor-
porass misunderstanding establishments BY the
wholesale. Your charers granted yearly are
no longer numbered, bnt are weighed by The

A Counterfeit Note Plate Sec ured.

On last Thursday night Deputy United
States Marshall jenkins, and officer Samuel
Johnson, succeeded in securing at house
IN Luzerne county, about Twelve miles from
Wilkes-Bare, the steel plate from which the
new counterfeit ten dollar bills on The Girard
Bank were printed. The press and mate.
rails had disappeared; but the officers se-
cured the plate. Messrs. Jen kins and John.
son have rendered the public good service
in getting ouk of the hands of rogues the
means by which this dangerous counterfeit
was gotten up. The plale which was band
ed over 10 the officers OF the bank, was ad.
mirably executed, and the whole of the ras-
cally work was in skilful hands, as The sig
natures and the filling up were copied from
the genuine notes with perfect precision. A
large quantity of this spurious pure- Sc Sc.
circulation, and the public should keep q
sharp look out for IT. Less than two weeks
ago the dangerous counterfeit made its first
Appearance, and the plate is already in the
hands of the bank. We repeat that the off.
GERS who secured the plate have rendered
an essential service 10 the community

SOMETHING SEssIBLE.--Ths following item
OF sensible advice is taken from Halls Jour.
nal Of Heahh, and we think it not out OF place
10 insert il here: ..
"Dress children warmly, wooden flannel
next their person during The whole year. By
every consideration protect the extremilies
well. II is an ignorant barbarism allows q
child 10 have bare arms, aud legs, and feet
in summer. The circulation should be in.
vi,ed 10 the ex'remilies; warmth does that
cold repels il. II is at the hands and feel
we begin TO die. Those who have cold
hands and feet are rever well. Plenty oil
warmth, plenty oil substantial food and ripe
fruits, and plenty of joyous outdoor exer-
cise, would save millions OF children an

10 extract from MacauIay's History Of Eng.
land depicting British Know Noihingism in

and countries; and how moral epidemics

hood.
The history of 1869 in Old England runs
very much like that of 1854 in Ne,c England.
The Pope OF Rome was dressed up as the
great scare-crow on both occasions by men
who were utterly destitute Of religious sen'i-
ment; and crafty; inscriptions demagogues
deluded those who supposed every body as
honest as themselves. Bedloe and Csrsiai:e
were the prototypes of tie Joe Hiss and Kali
ioch of This day; and Oates reminds US Of
Beecher taking up subscriptions in his Church
fnr Shsrp's rifles to be used against his coun-
trymen of The South. IT, almost every little
town We had imia.ors of Bedloe aud Car

lcded followers in dark dens. To these they
pictured Democracy as worse Than ever Pa
pist pictured purgatoIy. The fanalicism Of
1869 added 10 out language the words "sham"
and "mob"-Ihai of 1854 manufactured the
classification Of "Know Nothing"
But there is wise provision in The nature
OF human society that such decisions must

ridiculous; for Otherwise society would be
consumed by The heat Of their fury. In the
