NEW COUNTERFEIT.

Mr.. John Fl. Aufdenmort expert Of the sub
treasury, yesterday discovered q counterfeit
$40 bill Of the new series Of 1876. The bill is

M the most EXPERT The difference between
It and the genuine is that the lines In the
centre piece surrounding the figures 20 are
heavier and darker, and the tracing OF the up
raised arm in the figure of liberty on the
right Of the bill Is coarser and less clearly de-
fined. The bill discovered yesterday is the
first one detected BY the officers Of the gov
eminent, and 1t had the appearance OF having
passed through great many hands before it

THE RIVER AT LAST.
Mrs. Fortune, Tired Of the Hardshfps of
This Life, Finds Consolation In Death.


At about half-past 6 o'clock yesterday
mcrning Officer Sheedy, Of the Second Pre-
cinct, found the body OF a white woman, aged
| fifty-six years. clad In calico dress. gaiter
Shoes and with white handkerchief on her
head, floating in the river at Post 81, head OF
Henderson street. The body was made fast
to the wharf, and the curious soon hurried to
the place to look at the corpse. Some Of them
said they had seen her before, but could not
place her; others said that her face was
familiar, but they did not know her name nor
where she resided.
1t was evident from the appearance of the
dead woman, that she had not been In the
water long, although her features were some
what distorted and she was swollen to con-
siderable degree. After all hopes Of estab-
| fishing the woman's identity for the present
had been given up the crowds attention was
attracted to an old decrepit looking man,
evidently German, who had at that moment
come up and who, upon getting look at the
body, had burst into tears.
"Your name ?" inquired the officer.
Erred Fortune, sobbed the almost broken
hearted old man; "and that is my wife-she
has gone and left me alone in the world. She
said last night she wanted to die and that
would leave me; yet she had her SORROWS,
and suppose they drove her to it,
Here Deputy Coroner Donovan put in an
appearance, and the crowd was driven back
from around and about the corpse, and after
the coroner had viewed the body he ordered
it to be turned over to the husband. The
womans body was then removed to her late
residence on Religious street, between Orange
and Richard.
Mr.. Fortune, after he had somewhat recov-
cred from the shock, was called on by rep
preventative Of this paper, to whom he made
the following statement.
Misfortune overlook us and 1t went hard
with my wife. We had always been able by
honest toll to get along, but OF late every
thing we touched turned out a failure, As
each succeeding day brought nothing save
disappointment and sorrow, my wife grew
melancholy and at times would show sie1sss
that her mind was failing her. When fiji one

The exact character of the decision OF the
Supreme Court of the United States in the
Canal Bank case Is not known at the City
Hall. It is only surmised that it signifies that
the capital of banking or other similar in
stitution Is liable to city taxation whether
part or the whole Of it has been invested in
United States bonds. Should such be the
case the city will derive vast benefits from the
decision, several of the banks owing for sew
which they claim to be exempted by reason of
investment in United States bonds. The La

amount to $1,000 OH this score. The State
