On last Friday, when Waiter Woodburn, Cashier of the First National Bank of this place, opened bis noon mail, he found in it a bogus certificate of deposit from the National Exchange Bank, Lexington, Ky., purporting to have been drawn by this bank to the order of Charles Marshall for $1,800. Mr. Woodburn immediately telegraphed the Lexington Bank, that the certificate was a fraud, aud also
sent word to the Louisville, Cincin
nati and other Kentucky banks to look out for similar frauds. On Saturday he received a telegram from the Fayette National Bank of Lexington, Ky., asking if a certifi
cate of deposit for f 1,500, payable to Jas. D. Morgan, was genuine. That bank was immediately in
formed that this was also bogus,and was asked, if possible, to catch the forger. On Monday morning u third certificate for $1,500 also pay
able to Jas. D. Morgan, came in
from the Louisville Banking Co., having been received by them from the Lexington City National Bank, making three certificates amounting to $4,800, that had been passed on
the three Lexington banks. Mr,
Woodburn noticed that tbe certifi
cates bore the imprint of W. B.
B urford, Indianapolis. He immediately wrote there to get a description of the parly ordering the certi
ficates printed, but received nothing that would lead to identification of the parties. It seems that the per
son ordering them was in Indiana
polis about two weeks ago, and selected the styles wanted, saying that he would call again in a short time to see about them. He called about the time they were finished and got a few of them,ordering the rest forwarded to Bloomington when finished. The style of the certificate is nothing like the one used by this bank, and the forger made no attempt to imitate Mr. Woodburn's signature, whicli.by the way, would be very hard to do. Correspondence between the hank here and the Lexington bank developed the fact that the forgers had evidently been
here on the 3d inst., as they had
mailed a forged letter of identification from this place which reached
Lexington the day before the certificates were presented. The bank here has received one of these bogus letters, and the Cashier says that nine out of ten banks would be taken in by such an identificationIt is a regularly printed blank, used for such Dur noses, with , the
names of the officers of the bank printed on the heading, and with a bogus seal of the bank attached everything a fraud from first to last. Correspondence also revested the fact that there were two parties working together in Lexington, and that they only asked the banks to advance part of the amounts which
the certificates called for, leaving the balance on deposit with them.
They received from tbe first, bank
$800, and from the others $500 aud $750 respectively, making $2,050
which they raised in a short time.
Immediately on receipt of the
telegram from here last Friday, tbe
Lexington bank begun a search for
the parties, but up to the present
writing they have not been found
This is one of the boldest, best laid schemes, that has ever been worked on any bank. The Bloom
ington bank loses nothing whatever in the transaction. It is a satisfaction for them to know that it is always a good article that is counterfeited.

On Sunday evening last Will. Houston of Bedford, well known to many here, died in great agony, after being confined to his bed but two days. On the 11th of February Mr. Houston wan on the express train that was wrecked near
the hoop factory ,and he was thrown violently across the back of a seat.
He has not been in his former health since then. Drs. Newland
and Raridan say that his death
was due to the injuries received on
tbe train that the spine, and the
large nerve leading from the heart
to tbe stomach were injured, aud
that nothing that human skill could do would have saved his
life. Deceased was a brother-in-
law of Col. Friedley. and was a
very popular and universally respected young business man. Mr. Frank R. Whipple, one of the oldest and most esteemed citizens of Rockville, died Nov. 2d, 1885, aged 74 years. Ho had not been quite as well as usual for some weaUs, and was in rather feeble health. It appears hu had gone into the barn loft to throw down lomo bay, as there was none in the manger, when he ful'

means was tried to restore animation, but life was extiuct. Physicians think tho

Mr. Dunlap, who graduated at the University last year, and Miss

Mrs. Mary Dunn, by the will
of her late husband, Felix Dunn, receives thirty shares in 1st Nation
al bank stock and the property on
east 6th street. The remainder of the property is divided equally between the two children, Grundy of this city, and Mrs. Legg of Brown county. C. F. Dodds and Mrs. Dunn were appointed executors. Prof, and Mrs. Atwater entertained at their elegant borne on South College Avenue, on last Friday evening, the Board of Trustees,
the faculty and a large number ofj
other friends of this city. Notwithstanding that it stormed terribly just at the hour that the guests were invited to go, seventy of the
hundred invited were present, and they unanimously report themselves well paid for their trouble. Cal. R. Worrall, the successful pension lawyer, went over into the Greene county marshes last week
after ducks, and brought back thir
ty-six as fine birds as ever drop
ped at the crack of the sportsman's gun. Cal. is a "mighty hunter," he is also a mighty clever fellow, and has a correct idea of the proper thing on such occasions ; as a con-
sequence one or tne nnesi "Mai-
lards" in the collection was for
warded to the Progress.
The will of the late Asher Laboytcaux was prolwted Nov. 2d.
Sixty-four acres are to be sM off
of his farm north of town, one thousand dollars is to be paid to Miss Belle Shields, aud the remaind
er is divided equally among the
children. The wife has a life inter
est iu the house and other properly.

Mrs. Atwater, of Northern Ohio, is visiting her sou, Prof. Atwater of this city. Mrs. Sarah Worley of Martinsville, Is visiting her son Craig, and other friends in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Truedley of Mitchell, were visiting at Prof. Atwater's last week. The supreme court affirmed the decision of the lower court, in the case of Axtell against McGee. This is the county superintendency
case, and tne courts decided mat Frank Axtell was the legal officer. The cotton crop still promises handsomely. A large portion of it has been harvested and sent to market in good condition. It is expected that, heavy exports during the present mouth will turn the balance
of trade in favor of the Uuited States.
Surely this is an age of relig
ious progress. Kev. Henry Ward
Beecher eulogized Cardinal Mc-
Closky from his pulpit, and the Baptist Association of New York
offered up prayers for tbe dying
Cardins.l. This was right, but how
impossible such a thing would have been fifty years ago, many now living could testify. The public may gather some idea of the magnitude of the society of Free-masons when it is stated that the legitimate expenses ot the
last session of the Grand Lodge of
Illinois, which is nothing more than a convention consisting of one del
egate from each of the 800 lodges,
was nearly $20,000. The north part of Alabama,
say from the toot ot the Mussel
Shoal ot the Tennessee river, up to
and beyond Huntsville, and from
the same point to Tuscaloosa, offers now more inducements to new men than any other part of the country, for it is full of iron and coal, and perhaps other minerals, with railroads finished or finishing, to move
all to market. Birmingham, at the
southeastern edge of this great belt,
a city built up within the last four years, is a marvel and is growing
with great rapidity. The mate will
be built at the foot of the Shoals mentioned, and will have two railroads and the river to discharge it
self of the concentration of valuables there. The name of the place
has been fixed upon as Sheffield ;
and we notice in a late Alabama
paper lhat the town is growing
right up. It is only a few miles
from Tuscumbia and Florence. It
is going to be a big tovn, it is be lieved.

A little miss of three years, who
lives tinder the shadows of Indi

the neighbor's children one morning, when the latter were called in
for prayers. She accompanied them,
and, when seated in the sitting

turned to her chair and opened her
book like the others, and endeavor

reading she shut her book and wait
