Cnnese 1nVenuOn, tne ufnDfella, was IN tue most
extravagant requisition; and bus drivers and cab
| bes were done up in oil cloth, and did big bust

LOOK OuT FOR THE NEW CoUNTERFEET.-Yest
| day afternoon man went into j. P, BaYbot's drug
store, at the corner Of TUhoupitoulas and Ciirod
streets and asked to have twenty dollar note on

the note to the back room look at it, when the
owner of it became alarmed and vamosed with
out waiting for either the change or his bill. The
| bill is a new and well.executed counterfeit said to
have just coms out in Cincinnati, and Of which
counterfeit the Bank first heard yesterday. 1t can
readily be detected by the inferior engraving Of
| the female head in the lower right hand corner
and by the ink of the signatures showing through
on the back of the paper. 1t is a counterfeit well
calculated to deceive the unwary, and we caution
the public against it.
| 1t is probable that large quantity Of the above
| new counterfeit tWenties on the Merchants Bank
have been brought here to stuff off upon the com
munity. For, last night, Sergeant Read and officer
| Brindley arrested on St. Charles street a man
named Paul j. Weed, for attempting to pass one
of them a man who happened to be little too
sharp for him.
