C<zT One Of tho most dangerous counter
fcits that has made its appearance was dis
covered few days since, at the Office of the
Assistant Treasurer of the United States, in
Philadelphia. 1t so closely resembles fifty
cent note Of the new issue that any one is
liable to be deceived. The paper used is an
imitation of that used by the Government, but
is unlike tho genuine, which is pink tinted.
The counterfeit is slightly gvscnish in color,
and the face is somewhat blurred. "The words
fractional currency" and "stamPs" are darkiy
shaded, which is not the case in the genuine.
There is also difference on The back Of the
cote.
