COUNTERFEIT POSTAGE CURRENCY-We.
were yesterday shown a counterfeit fifty cent
note of postage currency at the store OF Tenn
pie & Beaupre 1t can easily be detected on
account of bad engraving, tlimsy paper, and
the dimness of the impression. The note is
also nearly an eighth of an inch shorter than the

DEATH OF VIM. CLARK.-Dr Day yes
terday received letter giving an account of
the death of William Clark, Of congestion of
the lungs, at Bannock City, on the Goth of
June last The letter states that he had res
pectable burial, and had o quantity Of money
left, which will be taken care of for the benefit
of his friends.
Mr.. Clark, it will be recollected had been for
a long time in the employ of the Messrs. Day
& jerks previous to his joining company who
left this city in May, 1862, for the gold fields in
Idaho Territory.
ARRIVAL OF EMIGRANTs.-One hundred
and thirty German emigrants arrived yesterday
on the Ada Hine, and left last night on the AL
bany, destined for Carver County. The emf
grafton so far, this year, has been greater than
it has been for the past two or three years. and
we understand that large number of emigrants
are still expected here.

ROBBERY. Several German emigrants
who came up on the Ad. Hine on Sunday were
robbed of all the money they had in their pos
session. One man had his pocket cut out with
over $50 in gold, and he was left perfectly des-
titute until a few benevolent citizens collected
the sum of S18 for him. A man, whose name
we have not ascertained, is missing, and the
suppOsition is that he has been thrown over
board at least his wife thinks so from the fact
of his having had 500 in a belt around his
waist. She thinks that the attempt was made
to rob him. that he made resistance and was
made way with. If these statements be correct,
we think some action should be taken in the
matter 10y the police.
WE saw yesterday, in the possession OF
Col. Marshall, the gun which Little Crow had
in his possession at the time he was killed. and
which was obtained from his son. 1t is q
double barreled raced shot gun; and the ball
which killed him entered the stock, passing
out through the butt and knocking of the heel
plate and then lodging in his breast, and Civ
ING him his quietus. One barrel had been dis
charged. the other was loaded with {: ball and
eight buck shot.
OPENING OF BIDS The bids for the
