4 Tribune special says it having been rep
resented t. the United States Treasury BY
Mr. Spinner that number of National Banks
located in cities where clearing houses are in
operation, have estimated deposits subject to
duty from the balance, and after exchange at
the clearing house, and not from the balances
at the close of the day, as required by the
regulations, he has issued a circular letter to
the cashiers of the National Banks in such
localities, in which he says that the former
method cannot be accepted, and requests
them to inform him, whether Ia making up the
semi annual return of their bank for the SIX
months preceding January lst, 1866, they es
timated the average of deposits from the bal
anees at the close of the day, from the bal
ance after the second change at the clearing
house.
In conclusion, the Treasurer requests, in
the event that the regulations IN this respect
gerz MT complied With by them, that an ad
ditionai return be furnished, which shall con-
tain statement of the average OF deposits es
timated from the balance of deposits at the
close of the day, instead of an average of bal
ances, so returned, as made up after the ex-
changes at the clearing house, and that they
remit to his office An amount equal to one per
cent. on such differences of computation.

basis :--Ihe tax on distilled spirits in Canada

tions. The increase Of the army has been

to perfection of the regular army bill, and
will probably be adopted by the Committee.

NIar1Yrs.

The Nel0 York Express, commenting on
the avidity with which presses like the Trib-
ane seize every occasion and lay hold ofev-
cry preteXt for manufacturing martyrs out
of the most questionable material, asks how
it happens that those papers have never
heard of the murder of Rev. Mr.. .Headlee,
of Missouri. This reverend gentleman,
who, from all accounts, appears to have
been truly Christian man, and an honor
to his meek profession, was murdered out
right in Webster county, in this State, on
the 22d of July, 1866. We have already
given statement OF the shocking particu-
lars. He was murdered on sunday, while
attempting to perform divine services, and
solely because Of that attempt. This state
menT has not been denied by any one, and
is undeniable. But the Ne,o York Tribune
and papers of that sort have managed to
betray only the slightest knowledge that
they have ever heard of this eXecrable
crime. From the remarks of the Express
we should judge that they had carefully
withheld from their readers a knowledge of
this crime for the evident reason that it was
committed by Radical hands.-St, Louis

Didn't Know his Own Baby.

A citizen OF Jamaica Plains, i. l., went
to answer ring at the door at the request
of his wife, when he found nothing but a
basket. On removing the cover beautiful
little child appeared, some five months old.
The lady screamed, one of the lady's visit
ors took up the baby, and found note
pinned to its dress, which charged the gen.
tleman with being its father, and implor-
ing him to support it. A rich scene ensued
between the injured wife aud Indignant
husband, the latter denying all knowledge
OF the little one and asserting his inuo-
cencce. The friend interfered, and at last
she was induced to forgive her husband,
though he stuck to it like a. Trojan that he
had always been faithful husband. Final
ly the lady very roguishly said that it was
strange he did not know his own baby, for
it was their mutual offspring, which had
just been taken from the cradle for the pur-
pose of playing the joke. .''
