The Montpelier Argus says that counter
felt silver dollars are in circulation extern
sively in the country towns. They are
made of silver, the c0unterfeters getting
p per cent or more profit owing to the dit
ference between the price of bullion and
the metal in the money. This makes these
dollars peculiarly dangerous, and is one
of the many objections to cheap dollars.

esting if the readers of Miss wilkins

ton of the depth of that rather eccentric
young persons regard for the young man
of the story; and also whether the story
would have been more artistic if it had had
a different ending. Whatever differences
there may be upon these points, however
the general verdict will be that the tale is
cleverly told.
