Counterfeit Fractional Currency.

Despatch to the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IS. General Spinner
to-day received letter from Springfield Mass,
enclosing counterfeit fifty cent note (new
issue) bearing the vignette of Stanton, for
which the Treasurer stated recently he would
give five dollars, firmly believing there was no
such counterfeit in existence. The writer calls
his attention to this offer, and General Spinner
will accordingly remit five dollars. As the re-
ward was only offered for the first note of this
description sent to the Treasury, it is not likely
that further vigilance will be met by similar
remittance from here. The counterfeit is by
no means good imitation and can be detected
with no trouble whatever.
