A Gang of Counterfeiters is in a fair way of being broken up. On Saturday evening officer Warren arrested two women for passing counterfeit money, and on searching them a $5 bill altered from some other bank not distinguishable to the Seneca County Bank, was found; beside a purse containing about $60 in good money, rolled up in separate packages, as if they had been taken at different places in exchange for the counterfeit and put into the purse one at a time. One of the women is the wife of a very respectable man named John Fisher, carpenter, 89 Eleventh-street, and the other calls herself Mary Hoyt. They say that they bought the spurious money of a man who keeps a policy and exchange office in West Broadway, next door to Riley's tavern, and that he is in the regular trade of supplying this kind of currency at $25 good money for $100 spurious. The women promise further developments, and the officers, we believe, are in hopes of making some important discoveries in the course of the day.—N. Y. Tribune.
