There is a counterfeit afloat of the new issue of tiny cent currency. It tuts been no skillfully executed that it is doubtful whether one man in ten has knowledge of Its existence. It is said it appeared two da3 a after the'genuine. If this be so, it is evident that some one who had acemss to the genuine plate must be connected with those persons who have issued this counterfeit. The "get up" of the note is almost derfect. No difference OM be distinguished between the printing and the engraving of the genuine and counterfeit, so experts decide by the paper it is printed on, and by the "loop" In "p" of Treas urer Spinner's name. On the right hand upper corner of each note will be found the 'owe:Milt of the loop of this letter. If this is not there the note iscounterfeit. Ilarford inslitutv,.

Enrrons OP lintwerser:—On account of business, we were unable for the past two weeks to give you items frem this place. For the past week we have had very bard frosts, and a great deal of damage to the crops has been done. Corn has been hurt very bad, anti the farmers complain that they will not re alize more than two-thirds of a crop, when be fore the frost they thought they would have a better crop than they have bad for years. Buck wheat has been seriously damaged, largo tields having been cut by the frost and it is not tilled to any extent, anti will not pay for cutting, on ly fur the straw, which is bad lur the people living in this vicinity,who depend upon tanners for their winter supply. The potato crop is good, better than was expected In the forepart of the season. They are large, yield well, and do not rot. We have beard of the potatoes rot ting had in different parts of the county,but we arc not troubled with it here- Coal is getting surprisingly cheap here. The Willits; Barre Coal & Iron Company and oth ers, to-day announced that en and after Septem ber 20th, until turther notice, the retail price of cual delivered in Wilkes Barre would he $230 for broken, egg, stove or chestnut, and $1 7.i for pest. The first named amount is a reduction of $1 30 from the price attempted to be established some time since, which was four dollars. For what purpose this step is taken we cannot authoritatively gay. This price $2 30 is only n very slight advance over the cost of the coal at the mulles. The foundation of Tuttle & Cruser's store tuts been finished, and the brick masollS are at work on the outside walls.
