’ An upufortunate occurcnce, in
volvine one of the leadiug banks of
f Americus, was made puoiic Wed
| neslay night. The facts are as
follows: Some time sincea suspi
cious ten-dollar bill was discovered
by Cushier Windsor, who, baving
doubts of ita genuineness, put 1t
aside, at the same time givivg in
instructions that, on no aecount,
shovld it be pmd out. By mistake,
Lowever, some some gave out the
bill, among others in payment tor
cotton, but as soon as the fact was
discovered, it was promptly re
deemed, and put carefully away,
as Mr. Windsor was uncertaio of
its genvioass, and wanted to sub-’
mit it to the bank examiner when
jxemfled, A day or two aiters
Jw;;;gls, a gentlemanly stranger was
brought and introduced to Windsor
by a brother beuker, The Former

as 1o whether he had any counters

readity produced the suspected bill.
‘the tonrist examined it carelully,
atd offered to purchase it, and
Windsor still believing that the
bill wightbe good,took the chances
and sold it for five uvollars. The
tourizt uficrwarke developed into
a government dectective, and the
c.se was reported to the authorities,
On the advice of his counsel Mr.
Windsor went on his own recogni
zance to Macon, where a prelemi

Mr. Windsor stands very ligh

as he had no intent whatever to

regretted.
