The river has come to a stand oppo-
site this city, and will, no doubt, rise a
few inches, or st least it will not decline
any more for some time. The depth OF
water over the bars below is seant seven
feet nine inches; above there is hardly
seven feet to Cairo, and six inches less
to st. Louis, where the water is station
airy. The Ohio is falling at all points.
White river is declining, and the Arkan-
sas is rising, with seant three feet to
Jacksonport in the former, and thirty
inches to Little Rock in the latter. A
heavy rain fell yesterday afternoon,
which effectually cooled the atmosphere;
to-day it is cloudy, with indications OF
more rain. Business at the landing is
duh.
The Dardanelle is the Monday Arkan-

Mr.. ID. Pante has notified Sheriff
Wright not to issue aeerti6cate of cleo
ton to John Spellman as Magistrate OF
the Fifth District, as he (Pante) intends
contesting said election, on the grounds
that Spellman is not a naturalized citizen
of the United States, and he (Pante)
having received the next highest num-
Der of votes is entitled to wear the jul
dicial ermine. On election day Mr..
Spellman received 1856 votes over Pante,
one Of his competitors We understand
from undoubted authority that Mr.. SPELL
man is naturalized citizen, having
taken out his papers before the Pro-
bate Court, a court of record. But if
this act of the Probate Court should be
set aside "a most ridiculous supposition)
Mr. Pante has no more right to the office
than any one of the eleven competitors.
The vote Mr.. Spellman received, added
to even the lowest on the list, would ex-
coed the vote received by Mr.. Pante.
Being the next highest amounts to moth
ing, and the contest could be as well
carried on by the lowest. The only
result that can be obtained, provided
the action Of the Probate Court is set
aside, is to order a new election, in
which, as a general thing, the party
making the contest in the courts stands
no chance. Mr.. Spellman was elected
by the people with majority of 35j,
and should another election be ordered
the majority will be increased to double
that number.

A Dangerous Counterfeit.


A dangerous counterfeit 500 bank note
on the Shoe and Leather National Bank
of New York city has been put in circu-
lation. The paper is of excellent quail
ity, and the general appearance of the
note is we'll calculated to deceive the
unwary. The lettering of both the back
and the face is remarkably well exc
cuted, and the general observer would,
perhaps, discern no difference between
one of the counterfeits and a genuine
note, with the single exception that the
picture of 1.-THE Baptism of Pocahon-
tas, on the back, presents somewhat
blurred and indistinct appearance, the
shading Of the picturein the counterfeit
being much too heavy. The engravings
on each end of the face are rather better
executed, and on a hasty examination
of the face alone, even experts might
accept it as genuine. Peterson's Detec-
tor is authority for the above.
