NEW COUNTERFEIT QUARTER.-Anew and
dangerous counterfeit twenty-five cent
issue has recently appeared. 1t is almost
perfectly engraved, and well calculated to
deceive the most practical eye. Upon
close examination 1t will be detected by
noticing that the scroll work around the
figures "25," OIL the upper left hand corner,
touches the fine lines around the edges of
the note which form the bordering, while
ON the genuine no part of Che scroll work
touches the line. When these notes become
worn and dirty they will defy detection.
