well calculated to deceive some who

the party receiving it will think he has a
special letter, and be induced to believe
he is the only one, or one of a select JeW,

The authorities in the Treasury Department at
Washington have been considerably astounded
concerning an over issue of "Greenbacks. = 1t
seems that some time ago the printing department
required to furnish quite large amount, and
in getting the paper ready, mistake occurred, in
vOlving an over issue of many million dollars.
This excess came INTO the hands of the printers
who, understand, are offering it at great dis

OF course, the money being perfectly genuine,
is as good as any ever issued.
