was to-day presented to that banking houE for
payment. II was drawn to the order OF ,,tsen-
ard, by whom it purpor.ed to be indorsed. f..Sere
| is no such house, to our knowledge, "a MofEsn a
| Sons in this city. There are the very resOeySbe
| firms of Z E. Morgan's Sons, aud OF NJ. NJ Ans
| Sons. Messrs. Brown Brothers Co. regsf4 the
whole thing as a fraud. A similar draft. N:ESSs,
for $500, bearing the same names, was pr.slted
to them before BY a gentleman who had Esrom
Mr.. Renard, in Vera Cruz, and who saw Vi the
latter's possession draft for $1,000 besid, q the

America. He exhibits letters of introductidr slur
porting to be from highly respectable S.ssties
here and announced himself in one place Hsskhe
travelling agent of Messrs. Demas BArnes geo.
of Brooklyn. who know nothing Of him. He, 3sems
to be all prepared for a successful career, asS We
hope our South American and European SSnds
will give him little unpleasant notoriety. -gfSe w
