AN INGENIOUS PIECE OF KNAvE-
RY.-The Buffalo Courier exposes
a very ingenious trick by which a
gang of swindlers are making mo-
ney by mutilating national bank
notes Of the denomination of five
dollars. The dodge consists of
making ten bills ont Of nine, and
is so managed that there is but one
pasting to each of the manufactur-
ed notes. The nine whole bills are
taken, and from the right of the
first one.,enth is sliced off; from
the right of the second, two.tenths;
from the right of the third, three
tenths (; and so on to number nine,
from which nine.tenths are taken
from the right, or, what amounts
to the same thing, one-tenth from
the left. Number one is passed as
il is, with tenth gone from the
right; the one-tenth taken from
number one is pasted to tho resi-.
due of number two, from which
two-tenths have been taken /; these
two-tenths are made to answer the
place of the three. .tenths taken from
number three, and 80 on through.
Thus nine five dollar notes are
completed, leaving the original
number nine, with q tenth gone
from the left as o tenth note. It
will be seen that but a tenth is
gone from each bill, and a little
ingenious pasting makes the loss
imperceptible to ordinary observ-
ers. 1t is asserted that large num-
bers of these mutilated bills have
been circulated in Buffalo. The
rogues who have carried out the
fraud were cunning in selecting the
denomination they did. Larger
bills are scrutinized, and smaller
ones would not have been so re-
munerative. The Department will
not redeem q bill which bears evi.
dence ON its face that it has been
tampered with, and we advise our
friends to scrutinize their five dol.
lar notes closely.

shaggy, dry hair and beard, from
which all vitality had long since
disappeared, seemed to make the
distorted features of this huge
monster more terribly painful to
the beholder. The hands that
tightly grasped the card or picture,
were nothing more than huge skel-
etons covered with tendons and
skin, from which the fingers and
nails terminated into foul claws.-
Below, were the attenuated limbs

immense size of this monster, that
thousands of human beings and
animals were crushed under his
enormous feet, whilst thousands
more, having escaped this fate,
were clambering mp their sides, or
moving about upon their upper
surface. The mind gazed horri
