There is great dissatisfaction in the
! Postoffice Department as well as out OF it
with the new postal notes, and it is more
than probable that the present issue will
be recalled and a new design adopted. The
present note which looks more like a
Chinese wash receipt than Government
obligation, is said by experts to BE SO easy
of imitation that it will be impossible to
suppress coun,erfcits. In fact several
successful alterations have already been
reported The notes are printed on poor
soft paper, and the figures written upon
them can be readily changed or erased by
the use of acids familiar to forgers. The
giving out of the work to New York par
ties, when there was every facility for
having it done under the eye of the Post
master General, is acknowledged as a ms
take.

silly attempt at sensationalism.
Such a construction has been, by the
Emmitsburg Chronicle, placed upon our
item describing the occurrence on the sum
nit of our mountain as witnessed and Ger
tainly not explained by our people. ..
1t is our misfortune that we were unable
to explain what we saw, but were every
thing to be adjudged sensational, that
either we or Bro Motter see, be willing to
speak of and yet not able to explain, the
word would carry much greater breadth
of meaning than we conceive to be its in,
tent.
There is a peculiar kind of wisdom that
laughs off that which is inexplcable and
one may seem wise, simply by treating
lightly everything that that one is at a loss
to explain.
