DANGEROUS CouSrEavElrs.

A circular from the United States
officers, which we have had translated
from the New Orleans German Ga
-oHc, gives the following list of new
ana dangerous counterleits which have
recently been discovered
500 notes of the Central National
Bank of New York. The letter I in
the word mountain, onthe right side Of
the note, looks like an /. The coun-
terfet is a very good one.
- and $40 notes of the Ninth Ma.
4ional Bank of New York. The plates
are very well engraved, and printing
and paper good, but the word "the" in
the genuine notes in "Ninth National
Bank OF the City Of New York; is left
out in the counterfeit, making it read,
"Ninth National Bank of City Of New
York" Furthermore, in the genuine
bills there is u shade line over the
words "Pay" and Bearer" which is
missing in the counterfeit.
$40 notes of the City National Bank
of Poughkeepsie, New York; - notes
of the First National Bank of Peoria
Illinois. All of these are well engraved
and printed, and will sometimes de-
ceive the best experts.
$40 First National Bank of Red
Hook, New York. The words "Na-
tional Bankn in the counterfeit are
very IRREGULAR otherwise the execution
is very good and notes dangerous
$40 Fret National Bank, LockDort,
New York The face of the note Is
very well executed, but the back is poor,
nevertheless the note is dangerous.
$40 First National Bank, PhiladeI-
phia. This is n very dangerous coun-
felt. The shading under the word
philadelphia in the counterfeit is
very black and blotted, The words
"will pay" and 'to bearer" are not
shaded, and the word currency in
the upper right hand corner is spelled
"urreny,n the letter &c" being omit
ted
So First National Bank, Paxton and
Canton Ill., Execution good. They
are printed from the same plates as
the counterfeit notes OF the Traders
Bank of Chicago are printed from.
- First National Bank, German
town, Ohio. The face Of this note is
well executed, but the back is deficient.
In the engraving on the back the cross
on the banner is not clear, and the
foliage on left and right side and the
vessels are badly done.
IS First National Bank, Dayton,
Ohio. No such bank exists.
500 First National Bank, Boston,
Mass. The letter "I' in the word
"mountanp on the right side OF the
note looks like an "I"; otherwise the
bill is well executed
SO First National Bank, Richmond,
Ind. Badly executed; has dark
rough appearance
SIS Merchants' National Bank, Chi
cago, III. From the same plate as the
Traders, National Bank, of Chicago
III.
IS First, Third and Traders National
Banks, Chicago, Ill. Notice the fol-
lowing changes The letter sc" in the
word "Chicagon on the face of the
note-Ethe last shade line runs into the
one over the first letter of the word
'pay" which stands directly below,
while in the genuine there is u space
between.
$40, Central National Bank, Rome,
New York. A very good counterfeit
The engraving is very good, ana any
person would be easily deceived by IL;
81, $50 and $500, greenback United
States treasury notes. In the one dol
lar note the paper is bad, but the en-
craving first-class. The oval pof'rail
of Washington on the face OF the more
is more round and quarter OF an men
shorter than in the genuine. The S5Oo
counterfeit is one Of the best limitations
ever made. In the oval portrait OF
John Quincy Adams, on the Right sac
Of the note, the ears are hiotteu anu
no., distinct in the counterfeit, but Oh
~, enune they are very distinct
a" The $40 bill, the general appearance
is darker than the genuine, but the en-
craving is good, The words rFllty
Dollars" have botted appearance,
and the paperi sitter and more greasy
than the genuine. This, nevertheless
is a very dangerous counterfeit
