OF INITIATED CURREN-


The Comptroller of the Currency offers
the following suggestions relative to the
retention of mutilated circulating notes
of national banks:
"First-The notes are to be redeemed
by the banks by which they are respect
lively issued. and should not be returned
to this Office in sums less than five hun
bred dollars, or even 10 multiples of that
amount
"Second-Mutilated notes which have
been torn or defaced will be received
when presented by the bank that issued
them provided all the fragments are not
so far obiterated that it cannot be de-
termined by what bank the notes we're is
sued
"Third-Fragments should be redeem.
ed by banks in full, when accompanied
by an affidavit stating the cause and man
ner of mutilation, and that the missing
part of the note is totally destroyed. The
good character of the affiant should also
be fully vouched for by the officer before
whom the affidavit is taken"
These affidavits must be forwarded to
the Comptroller's office with the fragments
to which they relate, in order that banks
presenting such parts of notes may OBJ
tain credit for the same
Exceptional cases may occur in which
no affidavit can be obtained, and where
no reasonable doubts can exist in regard
to the entire destruction, or irreparablc
damage to missing portions of Dotes--as
by fire, acids, etc-where evidence of
identity is ample, by the signature of one
or both officers, on title or locality of the
bank, and the denomination of the note
where the integrity of the ill.holder is
unexceptionable, and where no question
could arise in regard to a fraudulent or
improper use of missing parts in such in
stances judiclous discrimination must nee
essarily be exercised by the officers of
banks. IL is, however, advised that such
notes be received at their face value, and
a perfect note given therefor, record be-
ing preserved of the fact, to be sent to
this office with the mutilated note when
returned for redemption by the bank, in
this Department.
"Fourth-When NJ satisfaction can be
obtained in regard to missing parts, and
a possibility exists that any improper use
can be made of the same, il is recon-
monded that proportionate value only
be misunderstanding this by compari-
son of the portion returned to the missing
part"
A record should be kept of the amount
allowed in all such instances, and a vouch.
err Of the same rendered to this office,
when the mutilated note or notes shall be
returned for redemption.

STILL MISSING The disappearance of
H. e. Hubbell still continues mystery,
and the apprehensions of his numerous
friends grow painful as time goes on, with.
out disclosing a clue to his existence if
living or fate if dead. There is no doubt
that he reached Albany on his way home,
Mrs. Hubbell having been informed by
letter from friends in Albany that her
husband had called upon them on his ar
rival in that city, and mentioned his in
tention of stopping in Brandon on his way
home. Mr.. /. H. Hapgood went to AL
