Counterfeit TreasnrK Notes

Some of the cities on the Mississippi
river are at present flooded with coun-
terfeit U. ). Treasury notes, and az il
is the usual custom OF "shovers Of the
queer to push their operations in all
available sections Of the country at
once, it is probable that all North
western cities may be called upon to en-
dure their share of suffering from the
acts OF these pestilent and sneaking
scoundrels. The last instalment of
counterfeits is said to be remarkably
we'll executed, and even the most ex-
perienced business men are frequently
deceived in regard TO their character.
The principal operations thus far re-
corded are in 500, $50 and $50 U. 3.
Treasury notes. In addition TO the ar
tistic execution, the bills bear marks
OF age. Parties have been at work in
ST. Louis with counterfeits of the First

dealers are already prepared for an ae.

An Astronomer Sold BY a Boy.

A wicked boy found a FREELY one
day, and stuck it with mucilage in the
center of the largest lens of the tel.
escope in the Washington observatory.
The astronomer observed blaze of
light, which died out at intervals, and
thinking he had discovered most ex-
traordlnary star, he pronounced it "of
the third magnitude of Orion" He
telegfaphed at expense of $4,000 all
over the world, and the astronomers
gazed at Orion until they were wild,
and then telegraphed back to the pro-
fessor for further information. In the
meantime the discoverer found that
his star had moved eight billions of
miles IN twenty-four hours, and per-
ceived that it actually had legs But,
on polishing his lens, he found the

The Saginaw Courier, speaking of
the Chase poisoning case, says it
chases its weary way along from week
to week. Thursday the counsel for the
prisoners, w. II. Sweet, began the de-
tense before Justice Clark, and a large
amount of the evidence of some OF the
witnesses was reviewed. Both the pris
oners were present, the woman taking
the offensive at last, sitting close by
her counsel. The court room was full
Of people, who attentively listened to
the cross examination OF the witnesses.
The principal witness was Benjamin
Colvin, who proved fully up to the ex.
igencies of the case. When asked by
one of the counsel whether he did not
have some trouble with Chase, he an
swered
mot more than / had with you, sir,

you stole four JACKS aud beat my
-" flush, skinning me out of S64."
This reply set the whole room in a
laugh, in which ms Honor, the court,

provide that after June S0th, 1871, the con
veyance 10 mails of samples Of merchandise,
packages ~ clothing, seeds, cuttings, roots,
irons samples OF metals, ores and mineralo-
gical specimens, and bound books, shall
cease, and an laws authorizing such convey,
auce shall be repealed. A portion of the COM
mittee, il not a majority, favor the abolition
OF the postal car aud free delivery systems,
the latter on the ground that large sums are
spent for tho benefit Of residents in a few
large cities, while the people at large are
taxed to pay for it. II Is estimated that such
changes would nearly cover the amount speci-
fed as the deficit for the ensuing year.

First Leyee ON the Upper Mississippi

The first levee on the Upper Missis.
sppi is now being finished at Sny Is
land, in Adams, Calhoun, and Pike
counties, Illinois. The Sny is sort Of
side channel of the Mississippi, sepa-
rating from that river about twelve
miles below Quincy, and joining il
again forty eight miles further down
Ii Is from four hundred to six hundred
feet wide, sluggish, and in the leyee
scheme Is expected to act as a drain in
the time of flood, and as an irrigating
channel IN time of draught. The new
levee Is to be fifty.two miles long. and
Will reclaim one hundred thousand
acres OF excellent land hitherto subject
TO overflow In seasons of high water.
The levee IS on the average forty feet
vide at the bottom, seven feet high,
and five feet wide at the top. Since il
was begun, the land 1t is to reclaim has
nearly doubled in value. 1t was to
have been finished in March next, bat
viii require several months longer.
