New Counterfeit. A dangerous counterfeit
Ave dollar National Bank bill is believed to ba in
extensive circulation. The bills ara well executed
the "Landing of Columbus,' on the back, is partic
ularly so. The shading nf the figures on tho face of
the bills Is heavy although fine.' The principal
point of difference between the genuine aad the
counterfoil is this : In tho counterfeit the "T" in
the sentence "This note is secured, etc.," at the
bead of the bill, covers the ni" in "United Stales,"
while in the genuine it comes over the upper left
comer. By this difference the counterfeit can ba
asily detected.

' Phvsical Wondv.rs. When it Was found, on
Tuesday, that it waa mora than probable that the
watar would overflow the river bank,' below the
Shamokin Valley Railroad, the culvert at Second
street, and the crossing under the road at Contre
alley, were closed to prevent the water coming up
any further. This very proper and harmless act
aroused the indignation of some individuals below
the road, who contended tt would dam up the water
to their Injury, and not only threatened, but actually
ro-opened, during the night, tlreso passages fur the
water to Inundate their neighbor! above. It is hard
to believe that this ungrnoious and unneighborly, not
to ray criminal and indictabrB act, was the result of
solfuhnesa or maliguity, yet it is difficult to under,
deratand how any intelligent mind could apprehend
any damage, or sec anything wrong in a measure
that could injure no one, and yot greatly benefit
others. Jlataueb, wa learn ia really tba ease. These
Individuals have, evidently, never read Sydney
Smith's graphic account of the old lady who vainly
endeavored to sweep buck, with a broom, the waves
of the ocean that broke in on her residence, or If they
did, failed to perceive tba irony of the witty writer.
Now, since these astute individuals have made
the grand experiment, will they inform us what they
have gained by the result? The water rose evcu
with the top of the railroad, with the fluicos open
Could it have been any worse had they been closed ?
Or did they think the little water emptied into the
space above the railroad would sensibly diminish
the body and force of the mighty volume of water
in the river? If not, what did they expeot? Tbey
certainly did not expoct that, with the sluices closed,
tha waves would come in, pile themsolvec upon
each other like reguiar courses of solid masonry,
and suddenly ooma down tba ohimnoys, while if
these sluices wero left open they would gently
prawl through and disappear. Have thoso philoso
phers ever ceon or heard that tba filling of tba
chambers of the lock below the dam sensibly re
duced the depth of the water ia the basin above ?
If tbey did, there might be soma slight excuse,
tba chamber above the railroad bears about the same
relation to the river as that of the lock to the water
in the dam. Wa have no doubt that a drop of water
added to a bucket, already full, will raise it some,
and that drop our philosophers discovered iu the
space above the railroad.

Bodt Recovered. On Saturday morning last
the body of a woman named Susan Gibbony was
found floating in tbe Susquehanna, near Lyon's ho
tel, on tbe Snyder county side of the river. It will
ba remembered that she mysteriously disappeared
from Lewiaburg some time in January last, a notice
of which appeared in tha American at tbe time,
and from tbe fact of soma of her clothing havlug
been found on tbe river bank at that place, on tha
day she waa missed, it was generally supposed that
he committed suicide by drowning bersolf. When
found her face was severely cut and bruised, wbloh
waa probably caused by the floating ice, and her
body was ia a nude oonditloa. An inquest was
held by tbe Coroner of Snyder county, but we did
not leara tha verdiot rendered by tha jury. Tbe
unfortunate wasnaa always bora a good character in
Lawisborg, where aba resided, tier body was taken
to that place for interment.
