MORE BOGUS MONEY.
The Mauch Chunk Cotton Mills Ubiqui-
tOuS Paper.

dpO1s
About once in three months we hear of
the notes of the Mauch Chunk Cotton
Mills being passed upon some unsuspecting
person. Sometimes the swindler appears
in Maine in a few weeks he is heard of in
the West, then in the South. Quite fre-
quently our bank officials receive commune
cations from parties who have taken the
notes asking their value. 1t would be very
gratifying to the people of Mauch Chunk
if some person would catch and hold any
man who tries to pass one of these notes.
They are positively worthless. There is
no cotton mills in Maueh Chunk and there
never has been any, and ifany person does
ly that he will lay himself liable to prosecu-
tion for counterfeiting by issuing an imita-
ton of United States note. We say to
the public for the fifth or sixth time turn
any man over to the nearest United States
court who attempts to pass Mauch Chunk
Cotton Mill note. As the gentleman who
is in this business is near us just now, he
may be caught if the public watch closely
The Allentown Herald says
~ man une OUlef evening entered the
saloon of George Spong, in Lancaster, and
in payment for glass of soda water of,
fered what purported to be five dollar
United States greenback. Without closely
scrutinizing the note Mr., Spong accepted
it and gave the man the proper amount Of
change. On looking at the note the next
morning, says the Lancaster Intelligencer
MIR. Spong discovered that it was private
note" issued by the cotton mills of Mauch
Chunk. 1t is printed on good paper and
is a fac sinile of the genuine note so far as
the figures and sample letters are con
cerned. 1t processes ON its face to be q;
legal tender for five dollars, bat in the
oval space on the back of the note are these
words "This note is legal tender for fv,
dollars in the purchase Of each one hundred
dollars worth of our goods, ''Price PEI
case, sixty dollars per bale one hundred
} and twenty dollars" The note is signeC
1T. Davis, Prest,, and Geo, Spicer, Treas +
1t is well calculated to deceive the unwary
: The man that passed the note on Mr.. Spon:
} had quite roll of other notes probabl,
:. It the same kind.

Judge d. S. Wilson, of Dubuque,

Judge d. s. Wilson, of Dubuque, who
recently visited the court room of the
Brook yn trial, says as to the verdict, there
can be little or no question what that will
be. The same influences that affect peo-
pie outside the jury box will affect the jury
to bring in similar verdict. Besides, the
jury sit day after day, for month after
month. Every day they see hundreds Of
friends cordially welcoming Beecher the
vast majority of those that put in an ap-
pearance in the court room are warm and
ardent friends while Tilton, Moulton, and
one or two partisans come in alone, and &C
out alone-sneak out as it were, with nc
words or manifestation Of sympathy from
any one.

On the night the burglars SO mysteriously
burglarized out Of jail, seven pieces Of dried
beef just as mysteriously broke out of Mr..
Robert Browns smoke housein East Strouds-
burg. IF this was the work Of the jail break
ess it proves them to be not only generous
thieves, but considerate thieves-theves of
taste and with a proper appreciation of the
good things of life-thieves who while deter
mined to live are willing to let live, and
who, while they smouched all the dried beef
--tender-luscoius-left all the hardware in
shape of hams, bacon, &C., for the well be-
ing of the owner. But it is not certain that
thejail breakers are the culprits. though it is a
coincidence looking that way-that the Jail
was broken out of and the smoke house bro
ken into on one and the same evening.

A great reduction of wages has taken
place in Germany this winter. Two thalers,
or one dollar and fifty cents, has been the
wages of city laborers since the war but
this winter it has been cut down to two
thirds of a thaler Dull and stringent
times are said to be prevailing throughout
the Empire, ond if this be true it will be
impossible for the authorities to restrain
emigration as soon as business revives in

FIRE AT HAMBURG, PA.
A Distressing 0Ccurrence--FOurteen
Horses Burned.


PoTTsvILLE, Pa, May 16,-To-day,
near Hamburg, St. Michael's Lutheran
and Reformed Church was dedicated. A
large concourse of people came from the
surrounding country to attend the dedica-
ton. During services a fire broke out in
grove where large number of horses
and. carriages were tied to the trees. The
ground being thickly covered with leaves
and brush the fire spread with great
rapidity. Before the teams could be
reached nine horses perished in the flames,
and FIVE more were burned so severely that
it was necessary to kill them to put them
out of agony and pain. Seventeen vehicles
were entirely destroyed, the teams being
principally owned by farmers.
