Counterfeiters Arrested.

1t is evident that counterfeters are
around again, and we caution citizens to
look out for them. Saturday man enter
ed Henry Cohen's "Cheap John" store, on
River street, Troy, and attempted TO pass
a $40 bill, a livery bad counterfeit. Cohen
suspected and refused to take it, lie also
made complaint against the stranger, who
gave his name as Henry Ouderkjrk of Yer
mont. He said he got the bill from VIM.
Haskins in a legitimate way, and Haskins
was also arrested. He admitted giving the
bill to Ouderkirk, but said he thought it
was good. The bill purported to be issued
by the First national bank OF Poughkeep-
sic, and was very poorly executed, so poor
ly that Haskns must have known that it
was bad. The prisoners were transferred
to the United States Court, and will be ex-
smined before Commissioner Sylvester.
Saturday another person attempted to pass
a bad $40 bill on Mrs. Myers, at No. 1859
Congress street. Other arrest will be made
unless the vendors of the "queer" leave
the city forthwith.

Accident at Wallingford.

On Sunday night, between twelve and
one O'Clock, as the milk train north over
the Harlem Extension division was leaving
Walingford station, it encountered upon
the track at the carriage crossing, by the
new fork factory, Lawrence Mclnlear, a
young man 81 years old, who was proba-
bly, lying with his feet across one of the
rails. After being struck he was dragged
IA short distance by the engine, and left
upon the track in n badly manglcd condl-
ton lie managed to draw himself along
the carriage road to the house of his BROTH
er-in-law, Matthew Maginnis, situated
about forty rods distant, where he now lies
in very critical condition, with but very
slight prospects of living. DIR. j. E. Hit
was Immediately summoned, who found
the left ankle bone and foot so badly crush
ed as to make amputation necessary, which
operation was performed just above the
ankle. The right lower leg is also crushed,
but for the present DR.. Hit with Dr. VIM.
Fox Called rs counseD have decided not to
amputatc it at present, pending o more ia
vorable prospect of the patients recovery.
There is also long scalp wound over the
front part OF the head, but the skull is not
fractured. The injured man suffers very
much pain. He is the son of Patrick Nc
lnlear, long resident of Wallingford.
Under the circumstances no blame what
ever rests upon those in charge of the train.

A Clerical Scandal in Vermont.

The quiet village of Weybrdge had an
excitement last week worthy of Brooklyn.
On Thursday the presiding elder of the
Burlington district and gentleman from
Middlebury, actuated no doubt from wor-
thy motives, and gentleman from Mt.
Tabor, took course which, it is alleged,
cannot be justified either in law or morals.
1t seems that young lady, formerly OF
Mt. Tabor, has been member of the
family of Rev. Mr.. Porter for two or three
months, as household assistant. The gen.
tleman with whom the young lady was liv-
ing in Mt. Tabor, Mr.. Pember, made
charges against Mr.. Porter of improper
conduct and especially of inducing her to
run away. These charges were sufficiently
impressive to induce the presiding elder to
order an investigation. The performances
Of these three investigating gentlemen,
however, were such as to excite great
deal of feeling against them and much sym
pathy for the accused, among his
parishoners and friends in Weybridge.
They stopped in wood about a mile
back and the elder proceeded TO the par
sonage alone, took Mr.. Porter off out of
the way, and when the coast was clear the
other gentlemen came up and called for
Miss Allen. The young lady was out in
the field berryiog, so, by show of author

take such action led to confession that
they had none. After some consultation,
however, Miss Allen consented to 90 to
Dandy on promise that she be allowed to
return soon. The excitement runs high,
and it is conceded by all that the action of
the accusers was highly improper under
any possible circumstances of the case, and

there is no ground whatever for the charges
