DISTILLED SPIRITS UNDER BoND-REVENUE
REGULATIONS.
Commissioner Rollins, of the internal
revenue, has issued circular concerning
the transportation Of spirits in bond,
whereof the following is an extract:
Collectors will notify all persons who
nav hereafter execute bonds for transpor-
tation of spirits to bonded warehouses
that such spirits will be seized if found
elsewhere than in transit TO the warehouse
for which permit is issued, and collectors
will seize all spirits which may be found
in their respective districts bonded for
transportation, and which are evidently
not in regular course, of transit to the
proper warehouse, unless it shall appear to
their satisfaction that the transportation OF
such spirits was commenced prior to the
goth instant.
"The sooner all distillers and all persons
engaged in the purchase and sale OF dis
titled spirits are made aware that only
those spirits which have been regularly
Withdrawn from warehouse after payment
Of tax can be regarded as legitimate OBJ
iccts of traffic, the better will it be for the
interests of the Government and all honest
distillers.
Collectors will also notify all persons
who may hereafter execute transportation
bonds that in no event will the bonds be
cancelled except on proof Of the receipt OF
the spirits into the proper warehouse, and
proof of some special circumstances which
have rendered literal compliance with the
bond impossible

receipt, per late steamer from Europe, OF a
large quantity of the celebrated Amantaka
spring wheat, from Odessa, Russia, i'm
ported by the department for distribution
among the agriculturists of such sections
Of the country as successfully cultivate
spring wheat. The weight of this grain is
about sixty-fve pounds, and its superiority
has been tested during the past season on
the experimental farm of the department.
Il will be distributed with the assurance
that its general introduction will prove of
great benefit to the wheat-growing inte-
rests of the United States.
The commissioner mas also received from
the same locality numerous varieties of
apple and pear trees, known to be of great
excellence in that region, and which it is
proposed test in the gardens of the de-
partment. They were procured by Com
missioner Newton through our consul at
the port of Odessa, and their development
will be watched with considerable interest,
with the hope that they may prove valu-
able acquisition to the list of fruit trees
grown in this country.-Chronicls.
