ons. We will hear of one of the notes, say in Iowa or Texas. The next one that turns up may be in Maine or Oregon, then when we begin to trace the hands through which a note has passed, we very soon bring up in a bahk whose officers will say that they paid out the note, but can not tell from whom they received it, and sa we were foiled. There are six of these counterfeit notes: all printed from the same plates; only one of them is printed on fiber paper. That is a rather poor imitation of the distinctive paper that was used for National Rank notes some years ago. It can be detected by trying to dig out the fiber with the point of a needle. In the genuine fiber the paper is tough, and can be pulled out without breaking. In the counterfeit it is very tender or rotten, and breaks very

easily.”

"It has been asserted that the noted counterfeiter, Ulrich, engraved the plates for the .f 100 counterfeit,” said the correspondent. ‘Ttis better work than Charley Ulrich can do,” replied Mr. Brooks decisively. ‘•Resides, I know that he has had no opportunity to engrave a plate. He is honestly]at work in Trenton, N. J., and earning a good deal of money. He knows perfectly well that if ho were to leave | Trenton without my knowledge he would

bettor and more accurate than the last, and that the growth and development of the Northwestern States, as disclosed by the figures, will be surprising. It is not thought that the South has gained, save in Texas, and the increase in that State will be shown to be largely due to migration from the other Southern States into

it.

The following should warn harvesters that pitch-forks arc too dangerous to use carelessly: A young man named Whittam met with a frightful and probably fatal accident on Saturday last while working on Perry Brown’s place in Trimble County, Ky. While stacking wheat a pitch-fork had been thrown from a wagon among some straw. Whittam shortly afterward jumped from the wagon, alighting on the fork, wl ich impaled him upon its prongs, all three of which entered the abdominal region. The pain was so excruciating he could not move until his companions removed the fright.ul instru-

ment of torture.

The outlook for business all over the country continues very flattering. The following facts were compiled in Now York, and arc reliable: “The business of the first half of 1880 was nearly onehalf larger than that of the first half of INTO. Putting aside the transactions at New York, which may be differently interpreted, the exchanges at all the other Clearing Houses show an increase of nearly one-third in comparison with those of the corresponding months last year. The fact is, the business of New Y’ork has been excptionally enlarged during tho past year by the unprecedented increase oj imports from foreign lands, by circumstances which have caused an extraordinary shipment of grain by lake and canal, and by a remarkable extension of terminal facilities here; hence not more than 10 per cent, represents the increase of exchange at New York which is due to !he greater activity in stock speculation, while nearly 40 per cent, represents the increase at New York due to other causes. St. Louis and Chicago have been doing better during the month than during the half year, but it may he supposed that this is because of the extraordinary movement ot the crops since Juno. Boston and Philadelphia have been doing worse, and this may also be attributed to a larger movement of grain toward New Y'ork. San Francisco is tho only city which«hows a decline in business. The increase at all other cities lias been greater than the increase in average prices since the first half of 1879, and this indicates, as all accessible trade statistics do, that the movement of products by quantities has been of unsurpassed magnitude during the six months ending June 30, People have sold enormously, especially of exportable products, but people have also bought enormously, especially of products of American factories, or the proportion of increase at manufacturing cities would not have been so large as it is. 'The transactions for the hrlf year, in short, show a very encouraging increase and a remarkable activity of business, and tho exchanges for tho mouth of June cast but little shadow over tho pn‘lire. Tho movement during the last month been relatively smaller than for the half year, and yet it has been so large, the decline in prices considered, as to justify the most encouraging anticipations for

th: future.

Elder Treat, a preacher of the Christian denomination, and recently a member of the Indiana State Senate, was nominated for Congress by the Republican Convention at Martinsville, on Thursday. Stick a pin here. State elections preceding the general election in November will occur this yeai as follows. Arkansas, first Monday ol September; Vermont, first Tuesday in September; Maine, second Monday of September; Colorado, first Tuesday of October; Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia, second Tuesday of

October.

The campaign in Indiana this year will bo long, energetic, and in a manner, decisive as to tho result in November. There seems to bo a determination to make our State the battle-field tor the campaign, and to this end there will bo money, cunning and wind expended without limit, the whole country furnishing

the sinews of war.

Congress set aside a fund some years ago equal in amount to tho fractional currency issued. This fund now held in tho Treasury for the redemption of fractional currency aggregates $8,500,000. It ought to be covered into the Treasury, as it will never be called upon to redeem that amount which was undoubtedly lost or destroyed during fractional currency days. This world is a world of woes. Now comes the report from Fort Wayne, that Mrs. William Mensor, of Monroeville, having been abandoned by her husband and left in a destitute condition, put arsenic in a pitcher of milk, which she and her five children drank. They were accidentally discovered, all in an unconscious state, just in time to summon a

physician and save their lives.

The usual quarterly circular has boen issued, showing tho failures in the United States in tho last three months, and for the first half of 1880, as compared (with the corresponding time in 1879. During the last three months there were 1.005 failures, with liabilities of $20,111,689, reported in tho United States, and during the half year of 1*80, 2,497> with liabilities ot $32,888,763. In the first six months of 1879 there were 4,068 failures, with $65 789,810 of liabilities.

Thursday morning about 2 o’clock, as the fast expsess going east was passing Amo, on the Vandalia Line, travelling at the rate of forty miles an hour, the train was thrown from tho track by a misplaced switch, a terrible wreck resulting. Tho engineer, named Dodson, had his right leg fractured and torn so that it is thought amputation will be necessary; while the firewan,Frank Mullen, received hut slight injuries. The Adams Express Messenger, Mr. Hollenbeck, had his arm fractured, together with other serious injuiies, and a tramp who was stealing his passage sustained mortal injuries. None of the passengers were injured seriously. Tho railroad officials were promptly on hand and furnished all the care and aid necessary. We have not heard where the responsibility for tho accident rests. Occasionally—though it’s seldom—a Niagara hackman comes to grief. A few days since one bargained with two young men to take them “all around” for a dollar, but on completing his task demanded $8, which they paid under protest. Then they brought suit against the extortioner, recovered their $8, and stuck him for costs which, including their hoard bill ponding the trial, amounted to nearly

$50.
