An exchange gives the following meth
cd to discover spurious grsenbacks or
national bank notes:
Divide the last two figures of the num-
Der OF the bill by four, and if one remain
the letter on the genuine will be A if
two remain it will be B; if three, G.; and
should there be no remainder, the letter
will be D. For example: a rote is reg,
istsred 246l; divide 81 by 4, and you
will have one remaining According to
the rule the letter on the note will be A.
In case the rule fails, be certain that the
bill is counterfeit

Eureka Hall Association,

In our wanderings yesterday, we
noticed the foundation of the new hall
Of the above-named association, and
to our Impractical eye the proportions
seemed immense. Upon inquiry,
however, we learned that the main
hall will be 4Oxs0 feet, besides two
dressing rooms i5x20 feet each, and a
supper room 10x100. We learn that
seventy shares of the one hundred
have already been taken, and see no
reason why the remaining thirty
should not at once be subscribed for,
particularly when it is evident, from
the character of the trustees, that
everything will be managed economi-
call,y. and equitably.
This Is a public institution, and the
regulations prescribe that it shall he
donated to all charitable, religious
ana public purposes, which feature
alone should make every citizen not
only. willing but anxious to he inter-
ested in its success. 1t has been q
larly incorporated, and those sub
scribing for shares receive a certificate
of stock, which in time-considering
the undoubted prosperity of our
town-must become valuable as an
Investment. Come forward, gentle
men, and assist the energetic direc-
ton already pushing the enterprise to
a successful termination. Certainly
there is nothing to be lost, and besides
receiving a fair return for your invest
ment, you will have the pleasing con-
victiOn Of having been instrumental
In advancing an enterprise absolutely
necessary to the entire community.
