Counterfeit Fifty Cents

We were yesterday shown u specimen
Of a counterfeit so cent currency, now
being circulated quite extensively in this
city and county. The only material diff
ference between the genuine aud bogus
is that the red stamp on the face of the
genuine is of a more brilliant hue than
the counterfeit. In the portrait Of Secre
tary Stanton the eyes are larger in the
counterfeit than in the genuine. They
are, however, calculated to deceive, and
if our business men arc not careful they
will find some OF the counterfeits on their
hands before they are aware Of it. There
are doubtless some parties in this who city
are engaged in circulating these counter.

tectcd if business men keep their eyes on

hive, actively at work catching and de

tenderly picked up that frog and carried
him a half mile away from the hive. The
next morning that identical frog was back
again at the old stand, actively at work
as before. He again took bin up. car

back again, reducing the number Of bee:

Office of the
DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND CHANCELLOR,
OF Monroe County.
April Goth, 1873.

u phi -oll, 1910.
IFor the JeGersonian
1t is n pleasing duty to announce that the
difficulties which SO recently agitated our mem
bership in this Jurisdiction, have been satisfac-
torily settled-all conflict of authority has en-
ded. BY the action of the Supreme Lodge, al
Its session held in Richmond, Va, during the
past week, the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania
is again in full possession of all its rights and
prerogatiyes, and is to be res pectcd as such, by
all the subordinate Lodges. The Supreme
Lodge, at the same session further decided,
that the true intent and mean ing of its legisla-
ton at the session of April 1872, was, that
each and every subordinate Lodge of the order
had the right to decide for Itself, whether it
would work the Amplifed Degree or not; and
the Grand Chancellor of this jurisdiction was
instructed to inform the subordinate Lodges
that they can be furnished with the necessary
number of RITUALS required by them, either with
or without the Amplified Degree. In accord
ance, therefore, with the said legislation of the
Supreme Lodge, Grand Chancellor William /.
Macmullen, has issued a proclamation to the
SADOINi44slSN i[ObSIS. II SuDOAdlldbcI JJOSSS
Of this county, which recognized the Supreme
Inner Steward, Joseph D. Weeks, asa District
Deputy Grand Chancellor, are to be considered
as in full accord with the Grand Lodge, and
in the same position as if no difficulties what
ever had occurred, and, finally, it is fervently
hoped and desired, that with the satisfactory
settlement of the trials and difficulties which
had beset cur path, our jurisdiction will at
once enter upon a career of prosperity, unsur-
passed even by its history in the past.
Let brotherly love ever continue and prevail,
Let all by conversation and by action, prove to
the world that our order is in reality one of
fraternity and whose highest aim is the good of
humanity, respectfully, &c.

The epizooty has now gone West and
reached the furthest extreme of the cont.
nent, in California. Originating in Can.
ada, it has travelled southwark through
the United States and extended to some
of the West India Islands, and has been
heard of in Central America. That il
will not go down to Brazil and Patagonia,
and close it career at Cape Horn, no one
at present can justiiably assert. 1t seems
determined to sweep the continent, and
as we are near the end of this infiction
we may speculate as to the probability of
its visiting Japan and China. This dis
temper has been the cause of discomfort
and Inconvenience wherever it has appear
ed. 1t has been in a measure destruc.
tive, and many valuable horses, either
through improper management, or in
consequence Of weak and impaired con-
situations, have fallen before it. AS we
are probably near the end of our expert.
ence with this malady we can congratulate
ourselves on the fact, and hope for a long
immunity against other misfortuues of
the same character.

puts forth a statement to the effect that
they have not been guilty of any inten.

they have done the Government no wrong
Their explanation is, that they have import

The National game is not waning, as
some would suppose, but is gaining ad
herents each year. Two powerful clubs
have been organized in Philadelphia this
year, aud the season was opened by a
game between these two clubs, last Satur-
day a week. The old Athletic have made
several changes in their nine and appear.
ed together for the first time last Satur-
day a week. Their opponents, the Phil
~adelphia, have practiced considerably
with amateur clubs, and consequently
"'laid out" the Atbletics-the score being
IL to 3. The Philadelphia nine are
Cuthbert, Meyerlc,. Malone. Mack. Ga
Mauch Chunk lad Zetlein, Addie, Dew
lin. Treacey and Bechtel. On Wedncs-
day this latter club defeated the champion
Red Stockings, of Boston, after a very
exciting game, by a score of 8. to 5..This
was a tremendous victory for the Phil,
a%delphians.

News from the Indian country of the
Northwest continues to be Of threaten
ing character. The people Of Eastern
Oregon fear that a general hostile out
break on the part of the aborigiDes is i'm
minent, and have requested the Governor
Of their State to furnish them with arms
to defend themselves. This seems a rea-
sonable request enough, if the Indians
have really assumed a threatening att
tude, and will no doubt be granted. The
Modoc warriors Of the lava beds will elude
the vigilance of the United States troops,
and may succeed in forming a junction
with the belligerent Indians of Western
Oregon, and, by their influence, do much
to bring on a general war.

All people would undoubtedly prefer a fine
head of hair grown upon their W heads,
to being bald, or wearing false hair, and 1t
has been the study of many of our learned
men to find a remedy to restore the hair
when it has fallen out, and renew its color
after it has become gray. Such a remedy
has been found and is now offered to the
world under the name of Halls Vegetable
Sicilian Hair Remover; and, to verify this
statement, read the following =:
This is to certify that | was very bald; in
fact, my head was perfectly smooth; and it's
common in my family to grow bald early in
