DANGEROUS COUNTEi FEIT.-A dam
gerous counterfeit five dollar national
bank bill is said to be in extensive 1:-
culation. The bills are we'll executed
the "landing of Columbus" ON
the back particularly. The prin-
cip!e point of difference between the
genuine and the counterfeit Is this:
the "I'' in the sentence This note Is
secured,' &. C at the head of the bill,
covers the mi" in United States"
while in the genuine it comes over the
uper left hand corner. BY this differ
ence the counterfeit can be easily de-
tected.
SHADE TREEs.-There is nothing
that our citizens should feel greater
pride in than having our streets adorn-
ed with shade and ornamental trees,
and their lots and yards with choice
fruit trees, which in year or two Will
commence to yield and repay them
ten fold for the outlay. The old Il; ser
ton that in business streets shade trees
are all impediment, is fal!acious. y
beautiful tree is certainly much Cooler
and more convenient than an unsightiy
awning. Those who have not their
property thus adorned, should take
immediate steps to plant.
