CURIOUS COUNTERFEIT.

At the sub-treasury yesterday there was
received the most curious counterfeit which
has ever passed over its counters, and which
has ever come to the notice OF the experts
It is poorly executed piece, and it's appear
ance readily stamps it as fraudulent, but the
popularity about it is that it is made Of sill
yer, and much purer and finer silver and
more OF it than the government puts in a
piece of the same denomination Ca quarter OF
a dollar, and it IS therefore actually worth
more.
On being received at the sub-treasury it
was sent to the Mint, and that it puzzled the
officials there is witnessed by the following
letter:
MINT OF THE UNITED STATES,
New Orleans, August 20. 1879.
Dear GoUeYnor-This is the most remark
able counterfeit have ever seen, and have
had considerable experience in the matter of
counterfeit coin. Its exact weight is s70S
grains, or 1.35 grains above the legal weight.
Its flneness you can see by the memorandum
OF the aSsayer.
It is a question whether some one having
M ade die, has not, just for the fun OF the
thing, struck off piece. Certainly, it could

silver above our standard, and three millems

IS an abortion In fineness and execution.

The Mahoning Presbytery met at the Presbyte-
rian church on Tuesday, to consider the charges
against the pastor, Rev W. P. Park, for alleged
immoral conduct. The meeting opened with
prayer. The lecture room on the ground floor of

10 spectators were present, including about 25 la
dies, who came TO coDdole with the accu'ed min

face. Rev. Mr.. Waugh was chosen as Secretary

made a statement asking for a severing Of his
connection with the church on account Of Iu-
