COUNTERFEIT 81 TREASURY NOTE
There is in circulation an issue of 81
Treasury notes which, although not q
dangerous one to good judges of money,
is liable to be passed on persons who do
not handle much currency. This coun-
terfeit is dangerous in another respect
Being Of small denomination on which
people are not expecting to find coun-
terfeits, it is liable to be taken without
examination.
The general appearance of the one
alluded to is bad The paper feels
spongy and fimsy; the engraving is
botcby; the ink is of a pale cast; the
printing is blurred. The red ink used
in numbering has brick-dust appear
ance and does not print clearly. The
oval likeness of ex Secretary Chase is a
miserable imitation of that on the gen,
uine note, being very muddy in appear
ance, especially when examined through
a magnifying glass. The *" in the script
date at the bottom Of the face of the
note sIants more than the other letters
in the line. The words, Act of July
4th, 1862" at the top, have dark and
a light shading atthe bottom of the let
tiers. both plainly to be seen, while in
the genuine there is only dark shading
plainly visible to the naked eye. The
engraving on the back Of the counter
feitis roughly executed-the fine lines,
particularly, being irregular and con-
fused in arrangement. In the genuine,
there are a nuMbsr of well,formed stars
on a light grouudwo of small circles
running in a wavy line around three
sides Of the two large figure rs; in the
counterfeit, these small stars are mere
blotches. In the word " payment"
fourth line from the bottom of the large
circle on. the back, the A and Y are
crowded close together, and the Y looks
like v. In the genuine, the A and Y
are placed q proper distance apart, and
the Y is distinct and wen formed.
People would do well to examine all
small notes before taking them, as there
are connterfeits out on ell kinds of Gov
ernment currency.

In Mental Arithmetic, the classes did
well, but we're not examined as far for
ward as we would like to have heard.
Most of the questions propounded we're
such as we heard submitted to the
classes in the intermediate Schools.
In Written Arithmetic, the general
questions were answered readily, but no
exercises were worked on the black
board.
In Grammar, the boys seemed to be
familiar with the rules and construction
of the English language. They did no
parsing. A
In Geography the same readiness was
manifested in answering questions, but
again the Rotations seemed to US to be

H% The Courier Printing Company
had the pleasure yesterday of paying q
visit to the wreck ofthe Missouri 10 COM
,pany with some ladies. We enjoyed our
selves famously, bat found that rowing
large skiff is not very easy matter
townsville Courier.
The idea of "pIeasure and "enjoy-
ourselves famously" in visiting a wreck,
where, thirty-six hours before, over one
hundred persons had met sudden and
violent death, with their blood and brains
scattered about, is somewhat new TO US;
but there is no accounting for the taste q
of our opposition contemporaries these
late years. No doubt if we should visit
your town, Mr.. Courier, and ba knocked
in the head, you would take pleasure !"
in viewing our "cold corpus" next
morning Wabash Cypress.
After writing the above, we would ad-
wise our Terre Haute friend to give that
Company wide berth when visiting our
city, if he wishes to get off with pair
of sound pantaloons. gr
