a1-Rumsey's Minstrels had an excellent
house last evening at the new City hall, and
the performances were of the first order. 1t
is strong company and comprises many Of
the old favorites Of Portland audiences, such
as Brockway, with the old violin that his father
used In former times at the dances in Union
Hall; Stratton, who won such applause in
singing "Robin Ruff" West, the inimitable
clog dancer; Rumsey, who is host in himself,
and many Others. 1t is worth a quarter" to
hear the sentimental songs given by this troupe.
This evening there win be an entire change Of
programme, and it viii be the last performance
of the company in this city. The programme
is good one, embracing sentiment and fun
enough for any one.

CoUNrERFErTINe OPERATIoN.-Thursday
forenoon gentlemanly looking man applied
at the International Bank to have some $500
bills on the Central Bank, Worcester, Mass,
exchanged, saying that he wished to purchase
Canada money. The cashier exchanged two
bills for him, giving him the-bills Of the Inter
national. Subsequently he exchanged one of
the Central Bank bills at the Canal Bank, one
at the Bank of Cumberland and one at the
Merchants Bank. He also tried the same
thing at the Manufacturer and Traders Bank.
He did not apply at the Casco Bank. Mr..
Gould, Cashier of the Manufacturers and
Traders Bank, suspecting something wrong,
telegraphed to the Central Bank at Worcester,
and received for reply that they knew Of moth
ing wrong in the transaction, and that there
were no counterfeits of the bills Of that de-
nomination, to their knowledge.
The dispatch to the Associated Press news
papers, which came Thursday night, stating
that counterfeits on the Central Bank of the
denomination of $500 had been detected in
New York that day, solved the mystery. The
bills had, simultaneously been put in circula-
ton here aud in New York and probably in
other places. But the "bird had flown from
this place. About half past IL o'clock Thurs
day noon, one of our hack drivers was engaged
by two men to take them out to Saco. One
OF the men, according to the description given
of him, was the man who had exchanged the
Central bills at our banks. The hackman
drove out there and landed them at the York
Hotel about two O'Clock. The men went into
the hotel, took some slight refreshment and
then leff- 1t is said they did not take the train
for Boston at that place, nor at any place on
the line as far as South Berwick. Yesterday
morning officers we're dispatched in pursuit Of
them.
The two men arrived in this city Wednesday
evening and stopped at the Preble House.
They entered their names as Daniel B. Pond
and N. Elliott, of woonsocket, r..
We learn that the men were seen in Saco as
hate as four o'clock Thursday afternoon. and
that they endeayored to exchange some of the
Central Bank bills at one of the banks in that
place, but were bluffed off with the quaint
remark of the President of the bank that he
r "liked the looks Of the money better than the
looks OF the men," The counterfeits, it is said,
are of the best execution, and so handsomely
got up that many more Of them could have
been exchanged at our banks here, II the
scamps had pushed them.
Several banks in the vicinity of Boston were
victimized in the same way, with these bills,
Thursday.
