This periodical, which is a regular
haud book in Bonks, Offices, Counting
houses and Stores, is issucd on the lst
and 18th Of each month, and has become
a necessity to all business men. Besides
distinctive articles upon forged Treasury
Notes and limitations of National Bank
Notes it shows the par value of ali notes,
in every State in the Union, and gives
Regular lists of all neW, Counterfeits and
Broken Banks, state Of the various Mar.
kots, Financial and Commercial News.
PETERsoNs' DETEcToR is carefully,
ably and honestly conducted and edited
and from its large circulation, necessarily
is n good advertising medium, though its
space for that purpose is not very large,
Some people think because our currency
is nearly all National Bank and United
States Notes, there is no need for "Pe>
tarson's Delector." Why now is the time
to have one ready for reference. The IA
cilitics for counte!leltng have largely
increased since The adoption Of the Ma
tiouul Banking system, under which all
the banks use uniform plate fOr each
denomination, with only difference Of
locality. This fact warrants liberal ex-
penditure on the part of the counterfeit.
crs in ge,ting up tdc similc on any one
Of the National Banks, which when de-
tcctcd on that particular bank, is lmne,
dia,rly adapted to some other bank by
simply charging the locality, aul SO on
through the whole TWO thousand National
IIanks; where's, formerly, 4 eoSnterlcit
un any State Bank, when detected, at
opce became worthless.
For these reasons the Dctcctor daily
grows of more importance to Tie public
than ever. Terms of subscription to pE-

The first thing we did on arriving atthe
surface was to look round and see the de-
vastation which the hurricane had pro-
duced.
The scene of destruction which our eyes
fell upon was something which battles de-
scription The VIII DE face Of the country
was, as it were, changed. 1t looked as
though burning blast had traversed the
Island, for where yesterday everything was
green and luxuriant, all was now bare and
black. So marvellous a transformation in
80 short time [ had never seen; vegeta-
ton, human habitations, and animal life had
all vanished.
Paradise itself was mass Of ruins, and
the sugar works were greatly Damaged !;
but Mr. Gordon bore his loss with great
equanimity.
Our rescue was due to party Of hands
employed at cove about mile and half
distant from the house, where Mr.. Gordon
had landing place, and who, although
they had been exposed to the fury of the
gale, escaped uninjured, and at daybreak
started to look after the safety of their mas
ter. We were injured in the vault for
more than twenty-four hours, longest
day and night, by far, that l can remember.
