A NuRDERER's CRIMEs.-The substance

was followed by several attempts to kill

The great fire at Cape May. on Sunday,

till that supply could be reduced NO or,
der was issued to the treasurer to limit

No order has ever been issued for thell
withdrawal. They are issued like Other
money whenever they are required. an'
any holder of demands against the United
States is ordinarily paid in the denomina
ton of money desired. After the first o
January, no bills of less denomination
than five dollars can be issued by nationa
banks, and no doubt If the one and tw
dollar United States notes were withdraw
, it would make place for more silver.

take gold, silver or paper, or any demon
