The Cincinnati Commercial of Monday says . . .

. . . several persons have been arrested within a day or two past, for offering and passing the counterfeit 1s of the State Bank of Indiana in that city.  There is need of caution, as the bills are calculated to deceive all ordinary observers.  In the engraving and quality of the paper, the counterfeits are heavier and courser than the genuine.
