.ysssaas PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20. 9
This morning counterfeit notes Of denosai-
nations Of fifty and one hundred and City dol
lars ofa very dangerous character on the Phil,
adelphia Bank have made their appearance.
The counterfeit one hundreds arc printed in
blue and dated january LIST, 1865 of the gem
uine notes Of this date and character, but few
are 10 circulation. There are no counterfeit
hundreds dated May 1st, 1859, so that notes
Of this date in circulation appear to be good.
The counterfeit tifties are printed some in black
and others in blue and dated Feb LIST, 1859.
There was never any genuine fifty dollar is
sue of that date. There are also ffties print
ed in black dated May ID, 1859
The detectives have the matterin hand, and
are busy searching out the parties who have
got out the counterfeits. sa 81 ssl
The notes are entire counterfeits, probably
the best ever executed, and every bank in the
city is believed to have been victimized to q
greater'or less amount One large private
banking house on Third street, this morning
received $3,0O0of the spurious notes from
New York, and they had no suspicion of their
being bogus, until they were offered to the
Philadelphia Bank for deposit. - :
