COUNTERFEIT CURRENCY.-Thcre are

COUNTERFEIT CURRENCY.-Thcrc are
great many counterfeit so cent L. S. notes
in circulation. From the number of new
notes of this species, it is evident that some
parties in the ncighborhood of Elkton are
employed in putting them ont. From a
twelve or thirteen dollars, which came into
our hands few days ago, we threw out six
counterteits, and on every hand these spuri-
Gus notes are met with. This swindle should
be stopped before the whole circul"tion in
notes of this denomination becomes so spu-
rious, that they will be refused, and the
humble day laborer, being least practiced in
detecting countcrteits, will be the loser
thereby.
Many encourage this counterfeit crcula-
tion, by passing and receiving those notes,
when they knew them to be counterfeit, say
ing that they 'go'' as well as any
The counterfeit is readily detected by its
inferior engraving. The lines on the back
ground of the natc are blurred, as though
daubbcd with a bruah, while those on the
genuine are very fine and straight. The
steamer, on the left hand lower corner of
the genuine note, is well engraved, showing
the cabin windows distinctly, and the line of
the keel very dark and smoothly dr:wn.-
On the counterfeit this work is blurred and
imperfect also the cotton bales and smoke
from the locomotive on the right hand cor
ner of the note are very fnelyeexecuted on
the good note, but rough and imperfect on
the counterfeit.

ALTERED NoTEs. A man who gave
his name as Joseph White, was arrested by
Sheriff Price and lodged in Jail, on Monday
evening last, for offering IN altered bill on
the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Cecil
county. The bill was altered from two to
twenty, but the execution was very clumsily
DONE The two dollar bills have green backs,

Oh the back. The fellow got out of the
evening train from Philadelphia, and offered
the bill at Mr. Walmsley's Hotel to pay for
a drink. The note was sent to Mr.. r. G..
Reese who, discovering its character, mott
fed j. 7. Mccullough, Esq, President Of
the Bank, who ordered the arrest of White.
After his arrest he was seen to drop pack
age when entering the Magistrates office,
which was picked up and found to be two
other bills of the same description as the one
offered at Mr.. Walmslcy's counter.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that
notes of the same description were passed
extensively, on Monday, in Philadelphia,
and it is probable they were circulated in
other localities. The swndle was evidently
a prcconcertcd affair.

OBITUA AIRY.

ELISHA ATKINSON was born May 31st
1907, and died Dec, Both, 1864, aged 81
years and months. A decided and firm
Christian number of years, he had learned
where to put his trust in hours of affliction
and sorrow His trust was in Jesus, as his
Saviour and Redeemer, and he realized that
in death He was with him, to comfort and
support him, through the cold waters of
Jordan. He was calm and composed during
his sickness, and died in great peace-in
hope of Heaven and bissful immortality.
His friends mourn, but not without hope j.
their loss is his gain.
Friend after friend departs;
Who has not lost friend?
There is no union here Of hearts
That finds not here an end.
How sweet the hour of closing day,
When all is peaceful and serene;
And when the sun, with cloudless ray.
Sheds mellow lustre on the scene.
Jesus can make dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are;
While on His brea"t lean my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there.

Woman's Right to be hung.

While the conspiracy trial was pending,
a woman of more than common mtelli-
genee, in the discussion of the probable
fate of Mrs Surratt, declared that the first
right that woman ought TO demand was
the right-to be hungl Several other
women present fully agreed with her, and
we thought they were right. The public
sentiment which gives the sex the privilege
of crime without exacting the penalty is
one of the strongest proofs of inequality
at least before the law. A mature, ration
al individual must be held fully accounta-
bic for his actions, and womans exception
from the consequences is at best far from
complimentary in the implication inyolv-
ed. They can work and are allowed the
liberty to do scat lower wages. This is
one of the first wrongs that they seek to
remedy. If we would only give them first
the right to be hung, a rise in salary would
almost as Immediately follow as if they
were allowed to vote, for they would have
achieved an important step towards legal
equality. 1t is truethat the sex do not often
require hanging, or put themselves in a
position liable to it, but as a matter of jns-
to the remainder, when a woman does de-
serve it-let her be hungl

The President Of the United States con-
graduates the Tunisian Envoy upon the
fact that he was an anti-slavery man in
his own country and upon the abolition of
slavery there which is impending. This
cuts off another place of retreat fer our
ex-Patriarchs, who do not think the Uni
ted States good enough, now that the in
stitution is abolished, to live in. They
cannot go to Brazil-they cannot go to
Russia-they cannot go to Tunis-there is
absolutely a talk of abolitjon-that pesti-
lent child of fanaticism-in Cuba, in
which island even now the master is not
allowed ato wallop his own Niger ad
li6ititna. There is no retreat left but
Dahomey, and if the ex-Abrahams take
the wings of the morning and fly to that
sweet spot, they may find themselves LED
to the sacrifcial altar and probed with the
saeriicial knife. Narrowing is going out
of fashion all over the world. Consid-
ering that it is a custom founded Upon the
noblest instincts of our nature-that it is
h%umanizing and ciyilizing and refining
that it is of divine institution-that moth
ing so promotes the happiness of mankind
the lookout for religion and progress
and social perfection is mighty melancholy.
We recommend that Governor Seymour.
and John Van Buren, be a committee to
call a convention to take into eensidera-
tion the lamentable state of all creation.
and'to propose a plan for r~escuing from
skies and sevens matter and things IN gen
eral before the whole world gets askew-
