THE VIRGIN GOLD MINING CoMPA-
NY.-The merits of this Company are the
theme Of conversation not only with men
of business but with those not engaged in
commercial pursuits it is we believe ac-
knowledged by every one that no enter
prise has ever been presented to the atten-
ton of our citizens with such a variety of
choice property for basis and upon such
fair and equitable terms. Original in
terests" in this company can now be had
at 500 each. We are informed that sub
scriptions are coming in from all quarters,
and the list is rapidly filling up. As it is
expected that the Books will shortly close.
those desiring to avail themselves of the
opportunity now presented of securing
one or more of these "interests" should
at once send in their subscriptions.

COUNTERFEIT NATIONAL BANK NOTES
-hot0 to Detect hens.-Counterfeits on
the National Bank currency are becom-
ing quite plenty. Some are so poorly ex-
ecuted as to be readily detected. Those
which are altered may be detected by
having the wrong designs upon their
backs The following are the designs
upon the backs of the genuine notes: On
$1,000 notes, Washington resigning his
commission $500 notes, surrender of Cen
eral Burgoyne; 500 notes, Declaration of
Independence; $50 notes, Baptism of Poe
ahontas; SO notes, De Soto discovering
the Mississippi; S. notes, Landing of Co
lumbus, 1892; 81 notes, Sir Walter Raj
eigh, 1855; 81 notes, Landing of the Pill
grims. All National Bank Notes, the
backs of which do not correspond with
the above, are bogus.
