COUNTERPART MoNEY.-Peterson

COUNTERPART MoNEY.-Peterson's
Counterfeit Deteetor for the present month
contains descriptions Of several new
counterfeits. The latest and most dan
gerous is one on the Ninth National
Bank of New York The engraving Of
this note is we'll executed and the paper
and printing good. In the genuine the
title of the bank reads, Ninth National
Bank of the city OF New York" In the
counterfeit the is omitted, and reads,
ninth National Bank of city of New
York" The genuine has curved line
over the words pay and bearer, which
are omitted in the counterfeit. The en-
craving on both sides is darker than the
genuine.
The Detsctor Gays that most OF the
issues of the treasury notes have been
initiated, but the most prominent coun-
terleit is the twenty dollar note of
March 10th, 1862, the workmanship
being admirable, and the engraving and
printing being in many respects equal
TO the original. In reference to the ten
dollar treasury notes it is stated that
counterfeits OF two issues have been in
circulation for some time, and that re-
Gently third plate, which is considered
very dangerous, has been detected. This
latter plate is said to be a fac simils Of
the genuine, and experts. it is reported,
have been deceived by the impressions.
which are very perfect There are also
counterfeits OF the fifty dollar treasury
notes of the issue of March I'd, 1868.
The above are the most dangerous
counterleits in circulation, but denomi-
nations of ones, twos, fives and tens OF
the legal tender notes have also been
initiated and should be carefully guard
ed against

around the parties, but no policeman

large concourse of friends yesterday
afternoon followed David Williams, late
ianitor of the Court House, to the
grave. Mr.. Williams has had but a
brief illness and his unlocked for death
has brought sorrow to the hearts OF
many who respected him for his worth
and many excellent qualities OF head
and heart. He was attacked with pueu-
monia about week since, and the day
before his death felt well enough to sit
up and read the newspapers. His re-
mains were conveyed to Mount Wood
