MARKET SUPERINTENDENT.-Mr. James
A. Barber, formerly provision dealer in
this city, and who has been faithful soldier
since the rebellion broke out, returned on
Saturday evening the 18th cripple for life.
Mr.. B. was attached to the 1st Fire ZOu-
aves, EIlsworth's regiment, 11th New York
State Volunteers, and was wounded at the
first battle of Bull Run. On the regiment
being mustered out of service he returned TO
this city and with his well known patriotism
set at work to ELL up the ranks of the old
10Th regiment, of Rich Mountain notoriety,
" old Sam. Beatty's regiment. I" Mr.. B. was
severely wounded in two places and will be
a cripple for the remainder of his life. He
is endeavoring to obtain the position of Mar
ket Superintendent, which he is well qualia-
ed to fill, on account of his general knOwl-
edge of market business.
Being every way qualified for the position,
besides being entitled to consideration on ac-
count of his services to his country, we hope
the City Council will give him The appoint
ment.

SPURIOUS COPPER CoIEs.-0ur City is
at present flooded with copper coins bearing
the advertisement of a claim agent. We are
informed that these coins are sold by the
wholesale, at IS to 20 cents per 100, and are
then paid out for chan ge at the rate of 81 90
per 100. Of course, no sensible man will re-
eeive them at the latter rate when he can buy
all he wants at the former price. People will
please bearin mind that they ara not received
at the PostOffce, the Leader office, and We
presume at no respectable business houses.
Our advice is to repudiate this abortion
of coin in toto. They weigh about one
fourth the weight of United States copper
cent, consequently, cannot have the intrinsic
value of that coin.
The manufacturer and vendor of these
advertising coins are liable to penalty un-
der the law. They clearly intended them
for the purpose of currency, from the fact
that they paid them out as such, although
they made discount of 20 per cent. They
are no better for currency purposes than so
many buttons, and are getting to be a per
feet nuisance. We trust that the proper au-
thorities will enforce the law against the
manufacturers and vendors.
There are plenty of nickel pennies in ex-
istenee, and the tendency of the use of these
copper advertising humbugs is to drive the
niekeIs out Of circulation.
