be distinguished .by the following

Five Dollar Bills of the Batik of the
United States.
ALL that have «ppearfcd have the letter F
for their Alphabetical Mark. ' t
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and
whiter anfl it take-, the ink more freely than

so that a line extended from the top of ihe'o'
to touch the tap of the M. would extend cor.'
fiderably above the range of the whole word"
In the word United the letters are narrow*
erand closer together than the reft of the bill"
The i and /in the word promise are not
parallel, the f inclining much more iorwaiJ
than the

They are printed o t a paper nearly fi m i| ar
to that of tlie couuterfeit Five Dollar Notes
above d.-fenbed; the engraving is beUei exe
ucted, and they approach nearer to the ao
pe;u ance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through llle word Twcn
t\, 111 Cue body ot the bill, are in number thir
teen in the genuine b Us, and but twelve in
the counterfeit s.
The word Company is'much like the fame
void in the Five Dollar B lls as defer ibed a
bove, the o being lefsihau the m, and ..then

There in no stroke to the t inilifc word North
wheels in tha genuine bills the flroke is well
defined.
The letters cut in the word Tmcnh, to the
