FoR two or three weeks past a danger
Gus counteIf felt of the So United States
Treasury note has been in circulation. The
counterfeit will not bear the scrutiny Of
the practiced eye, but it is well enough
executed to deceive many persons, even
among those accustomed to handle money.
The paper, however, is too thin to take
well the large amount of ink usually en-
ployed to print.the promises to pay Of the
United States. The engraving, compared
with that of the genuine note, is rough,
but the surest way to detect the true from
the false is by the paper, which has never
been successfully eounterfeited.

formerly Of Manchester, Virginia, but for
some time past employed as telegraph re-
pairer on the lines bet 1een this city and
Columbia, was killed on Monday night,
near Mars Bluff The accounts of his death
are scant and conflicting, some having it
that he was On the track and was run over
and killed, and others that he fell and
broke his neck in attempting to jump from
the train while in motion. This last sup
position is more generally thought 10 be
correct. The accident occurred about two
miles this side of Mars Bluff, at which
place deceased resided, with his wife. at
the time Of his death. He was only about
So or 10 years Of age.

Town GOVERNMENT AND ITS CoSsT1TU

Town GovERNMENT AND ITS CoNsTITU-
71oSAL1Ty.-In the case Of Johnny Car
Ter, involving an appeal from the judg-
ment of the Justice of the Peace sentenc-
ing him to fine or imprisonment under
the Town ordinances, to the District
Court, it was ordered by Judge Harris,
Yesterday, that the prisoner be held, as,
in his opinion, the County Commission
ers are duly authorized to prescribe the
manner of criminal process, and that
the Town may lawfully appear as plain
tiff in prosecutions against offenders for
violation of Town laws. Whether the
case may be yet carried higher, on a
writ of certiorari, remains to be seen.
Johnny was at his bench, yesterday
afternoon, from which we presume that
he is satisfied with the price that he has
already paid for his whistle, and is not
disposed to kick any longer against the
pricks Of the law until he gets better
hold.
