"A DANGEROUS CouNTERFElr. A Lew
and dangerous imitation of the five dol
lar National Bank note has recently
been put ahoat. The engraving is said
to be finely executed, and the bill, in
the main, well calculated to de.elve.-
Still it may readily be detected. In
the genuine the group OF Columbus and
his companions is composed of five per,

four-lhe one in the background at the

THE HOME PAPER


Mr., EDToR:--I have often heard it
remarked that it is extortion to charge
too do'l,rs for a County paper, when h
city paper, containing more matter,
could be procured tor less money. This
is the sole re,son urged tor patronizinga
foreign press, simply because it is the only
one that can be given with any show of
consistency and this is more imagi>
nary than real. Every other con idera.
ton yields an unmistakable preference to
the Home paper,
Whllst your city paper may be larger,
may be printed with smaller type, and
thus made TO contain volume of m after
more than can be crowded into a County
paper, the superficial observer seems to
overlook the important part, that most
of this grand aggregate is d,aE mater !
Much of i! is local, in which a country
reader has about as much interest as he
would have in SO much original Hebrew!
One half is taken up with advertise.
ments, TO which you look in vain for
any reliable an Il beneficial Information
whilst the advertisements in the county
paper are a source Of great usefulness to
the business public. Through them tho
car, full reader becomes acquainted with
the location anl business of all the lead,
ing anlmo eaterprising citizens OF the
County.
! The Marriages and Deaths of the
County paper are fund of information
that every body appreciates whilst those
ponderous columns Of the city paper are
every whit as interesting as thus much
blank space!
The difference of cost is sheer moon
shine. a single copy of any good city
paper costs 81, In advance anl 20cts
postage besides, True,S30 will procure
20 copies of the Tribune, Times or Her.
0M Just so; and l venture the opinion
that $50, in advance, will procure 20
copies of the REPUBLICAN, for the some
length Of time. So, make up your clubs
and save the postage, and risks by mail
Hence | conclude that ''more reading
for less pay" is mistaken idea, and a
most miserably peaulious delusion.
Those who make such frivolous ex-
cuses for supporting city papers to the
exclusion of the County paper, do not
seem TO realize that they are plying
tribute to city enterprise, are building
up city interests, aud are neglecting to
stimulate and support those home enters
pnses which are OF such vital Importance
TO US. They do not appear to rehec,
what Greene County would do were
there no paper published at her County
Seat. How much would land be worth?
How far would our county be known
What would be her character! Would
it not be very inconvenent to do with.
out a county paper? Would it pay to go
to P,'sbnrg or Philadelphia, and pay
city prcas to have our legai and other
necessary advertl.ing, and our local
Interests attended to?
l "ill not consume more space in the
deScussion OF this subject, and will close
this article with the language of one of
the lending aud m IS, prominent business
men Of the County. Said he, Il take Il
half dozen weekly papers. They all

THEL\TEST FASHIONS.

Since the invention and successful in-
troduaton of the Celebrated Duplex
Elliptic or double Spring Hoop Skirt,
by Mr.. j. W. Bradley, Of New York,
the l,dies throughout the country have
gwen up the idea of describing the FASH
ion OF wearing hoop skirts on account
OF the peculiar and graceful m,nner in
which the Duplex Skirts adapt them
selves TO every exigency and emergen-
cy. 50 generally acceptable haze these
Skirts become that the ladies regard
them as SPECIAL favorlte, in view of the
superior Flexbility, Lghtness and Du
rabilily Combined IN their Manufacture.
They also consider them lar more
Economical and Comfortable Hoop
Skirt than ever has or can be made for
all Crowded Assemblies, for the Prom
enade or House Dress Any lady after
wearing one of these Skirts will never
afterwards willingly dispense with they
use. Long experience IN the manuf,cv
ture of Hoop Skirts, has proven to the
propretors otthis invention. that Single
springs will always retain that stiff,
unyielding and bungIi"g style which has
ever characterised them, whereas the
Double Spring Hoop or the Duplex
Elliptic, will be found free from these
objections. Notwithstanding the ability
of the manufacturers, Messrs. Vests,
Bradley and Gary, to turn out over six
thousand Skirts per day from their
Llge Manufactures in New York,
they feel obliged to request all merchants
ordering the Duplex. Skirts, to scnd
their orders few days before they arc
, wanted, if possible, as they are mos,
constantly oversold some days ahead.

DISFRANCuIsING DEMOCRATS.

The Legislature Of West Virginia,
following the lead OF its revolutionary
friends in Congress, has before it new
registration law which is intended to
distranchise all the Democrats in that
bastard State, The sixth section is:
'llave you at any time since that
period, and during the late rebellion. by
your coniuct or conversation, opposed
the policy of, or the means used by.
the government OF the United S ates in
suppressing said rebelIion!"

perhaps, one OF tho best things would

resistance.-H'a h'ngton Eecicp 6 Er.

The Tri'gne noticing the municipal
election held in Wheeling, West Vir.
ginia, ,ou Jan, % says theDemocratic can,
didate for Mayor,together with the rest
of the Democratic ticket, were, as usual,
elected; but it is gratifying to learn that
the Democratic majority was this year
considerably reduced. Last year Mayor
Sweeney, out of an aggregate vote of
2,4sl, received majority of 5l5 over
bis Republican competitor; this year,
out of poll Of 2.42l votes-or 60 less
than last year-he received but l9l
majority, falling off of 324 votes. An
equal decrease in the Democratic vote
would next year elect the Republican
ticket, and put Wheeling IN harmony
with the rest of the State, which at the
election in 1866 again showed itself
firmly attached to the principles of the
Republican party, giving to the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor majority
of GOA. There were, in 1866, only
ten out of fit,y-two counties which gave
a Democratic majority. In five of the
ten Democratic counties the Democratic
majority was less than one hundred, and
in nine it was less than three hundred.
II the Democratic vote in these counties
should fall off, as in Wheeling, the
number of Democratic counties at the
next election will be very small

Cory O'Lanus on Printers Strikes.
The Journeymen Printers OF Brooklin,
who had been receiving 81 cents per 900
ems, some weeks ago, in consequence OF
the high price for food and rents, deci-
ded that they were not able to support
themselves and families by their labors,
and thereupon reported their wants to
their employers, who informed them
their demands could not be acceded to.
This brought on strike, and for a few
days put the newspaper publishers to
some inconvenience. The crisis has been
got over by the employers consenting to
pay the rate demanded-40 cents per
1000 ems. We understand that they re.
fuse to re.employ their oldImen, and are
putting new men in their places. CORY
