uev and Dangerous Counterfeit.

4 new and very dangerous counterfeit
ten dollar note made its appearance in New
York few days ago, and il is reported that
i. has already made its way west. As this
bill is likely to deceive the best judges, the
following description Of it will be of service
to our readers
Tho borders OF the counterfeit match as
well as tho borders CT the original ne
engraving OF the border is just as goou, II
not better than the engraving on the genuine
note. In the original the shading around
The 40 in the medallion, appears ike
fine net. work, and runs close up to the H.
cures. la the counterfeit note this shading
ia picked up, and becomes coarse as II
reaches the figures, forming a light streak
or n circular haze, similar to that about the
moon before rain. There is no haze on the
genuine note. This is a slight point for de-
lection. A clearer one is the fact that in
the original notes, within the light circle
running under the figure "lO' there are
three and third dots on the left OF the
| figure "l0.r In the counterfeit bill the one
third dot is missing. But an infaliole marx

of distinction is found under the lett wing
of the eagle. In the genuine notes are iour
distinct rows Of feathers under the wing; N
the counterfeit these rows of feathers are
underlined, and this seems to be the only
weak spot in the whole engraving The
dots after the initials Of Spinner's name are
no surety of the genuineness of the note
Some of the counterfeits have three dots
and some have not. 1t would be an easy
matter to place these dots on the counterfeit
plate.
The first counterfeit purported to be o
the new series, No. 50, letter y; but there
arc others. =,
There is one marked, No. %, letter d

Death of the Sleepiug Girl.

The Hickman (Ky,) Courier announces
the recent death near that place of Miss
Susan Caroline Godsey, the sleeping wonder,
and adds
The history of Miss GOdsey is well known
to the public, statement of her wonderful
condition having been published extensively
by the press of the United States. At the
time of her death, Miss Godsey was about
2G years Of age, and had been asleep, as
described, about IA years. The existence
of this wonderful case of coma, or prefer
natural disposition to sleep, has been doubt
ed By many, but the fact is indisputable.-
Indeed, some II months ago, Miss Godsey
was taken to Nashville and other places for
exhibition, but we understand many even Of
the physicians of Nashville looked upon the
case with suspicion.
The history of the case is, briefly: When
about II years of age, she was taken with a
severe chill and treated accordingly by her
physician. AS her fever which followed her
chill subsided, she fell in a deep sleep, in
which condition she has remained ever since
except at intervals 1t was her custom a
first to awake regularly twelve 10 - hour'
each day, but Of later years she awoke oft
ener, 50 much SO that many considered i
an indication of her final recovery. She
would remain awake FIVE, ten, or perhaps |,
minutes, and gradually drop off to sleel
again. When asleen !! was utterly lmpossI
Bile to arouse her. She never complained c
any bodily pain, though when asleep she wa
very nervous at times, and appeared to sui
fer considerably by the violent twitching an
Jerking of her muscles and limbs, and he
hands clenched tightly rs if enduring sever
pain, but when awake she did not appear Il
suffer, except from drowsy, gaping incl
nation and persistent effort to cleanse he
throat OF phlegm. She generally passed int
sleep through violent psroxism, which
woulo last perhaps FIVE minutes, and Sd,
would then sleep awhile as calmly and oui
city as an infant. Mica Godsey is Of medi
um size, and her limbs and muscles wer
well proportioned and developed, and grey
considerably after her affection.
Miss Godsey on the day she died indulge,
in little prophesying, which we give as re
lated for whes it is worth. She said IN
'sun will be total eclipse on the It'll c
