Citations under the laws OF the United States, the

certain time was given for holders Of these bills =
exchange them for national currency. The COM
pleon Of this work shows that OF the banks In
Boston have discovered over issues-one bank to the
amount Of 000 and 1t is intimated that In another
case the 0ver-issue amounted to $40, OOO To have
detected these over issues in any other mode than
by redeeming the entire circulation would probably
have been impossible There are several ways In
which to account for the discrepancy. When OLD
bills were destroyed from time to time some that
were charged of might have been overlooked In the
process of committing them to the flames; and then
again there Is possibility that bills in blank were
occasionally distracted from the possession of tho
printers, the signatures forged and the paper set
anoat To discover exactly when and how these
over issues were made is an tmpossibiity, as manv
years may have interviewed between that time a0d

THE TORPEDO TRADE OF LONG IsLASD.-Few

red on, have any adequate idea OF the extent to

prosecuted In the town OF Southold During the past

York on almost every trip large number Of barrels
packed full Of torpedoes put up in packages of one
hundred on several occasions she has had on

In the town during the past year Is between

sale dealers, who ship them TO all parts
OF the world. SO long as they are kept
dry torpedoes do not deterorate by age but on the
contrary the volume OF sound Is increased. They
range in price from thirty cents per thousand, or
under, at which they are sometimes sacrificed by
forty aud fifty cents In the summer. Formerly the
Southern states used to be one OF the best markets
for the sale Of torpedoes, but the war changed all
that. The manufacturers in this town consume an
nually a large amount OF silver, mostly American

are mostly Germans, and are an industrious, frugal
