to a skillful hand. The late rumor that th«re has been counterfeits or counterfeit money in this locality is false. It is true that two or three persons wanted counterfeit xnpiwy and gave real money to supposed agents, who claimed to have “the inside track,” to bo invested in counterfeit at 20 cents on the dollar. The agent is gone and the persons who have lost from SSO to ?100 may coireider thrif amourit the price of a leijson. . This explanation will probably relieve several individuals who try io discover counterfeit in real money. This appears to be a idishoiiest game played on the dishonorable. ' C. C. Strategy. EROM.
