REDEMPTION OF DEFACED CURRENCY.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The following chang
es in the regulations governing the redemption
of defaced and mutilated currency of the United
States, to go into effect the first of January:
Defaced and mutiated United States notes and
currency instead of being redeemed as ROW by
the Treasurer of the United States, subject to
discount for the mutilation, will be redeemable
at their full value in new notes or currency by
the Treasurer, Assistant TreaSurerS and deslg-
mated depositaries of the United States, and all
national bank depositaries and will be received
at the full face value by all officers of the Treas
ury Department in payment of currency due tEe
United States, provided that three-fifths of the
original proportion of such are presented in
one piece. Fragments of less than five-eighths
will be redeemable only by the Treasurer of the
United States. If more than half anO less
than tive-eighths is presented, half the face
value will be paid. Less than half the note
will be redeemable only on an affidavit that the
missing portion is totally destroyed.
Under the new rules, any person, bank cor
poration or public officer will be permitted to
forward five dollars and upwards in legal ten
der notes for redemption to the Treasurer by
express, at the expense of the Department,
under government contract with the Adams
Express Co. Heretofore nothing less than $500
was entitled to transportation at government
expense.
A circular embodying these changes is now
preparing in the Treasury office.
The officers of the Treasury are determined
to remove all cause forcomplaint concerning the
condition of United States currency and to
that end have concluded to extend to all the
most liberal facilities for its redemption.
1t is expected at the Department that the
new rules will result marked improvement of
the condition of the currency

U, 9. District Court.
BEFORE JUDGE FOX.


TUEsDAY.-Melvn P. Frank, assignee of Isaac
Dyer, VS.. Isaac Emery. This case was not fully re-
ported in issue of yesterday 1t was an action at
law brought by the assignee of of Dyer at the De-
cem5cr term, 1870, to recover of Emery the amount
due on two promissory notes given by Emery to
Dyer, the amount claimed being $4,000. The defend
ant file an account in set-of amounting to $780,
The case was referred to auditor, who found
$l062 9S with interest due the account in set
off, and $l03702 as the balance due from defendant
to plaintiff, there being counter set-of filed by
plaintiff The plaintiff excepted to the finding of the
auditor upon the ground that part of the account in
set-o was barred by the statute of limitation and
that the balance of the seto consisted of the copar
nership debts of Dyer s. Boulter, and could not be
set-o against the claims of the assgnnre of Dyer in
his individual capacity. The case has occupied
great deal of time and has been warmly contested
The Court, after full hearing, set aside the award
OF the auditor SO far the set-ofs concerned
The existence of the copartnership denied by de-
PENDANT, but the Court held that the same had been
proved, and decided that in suit at law brought by
the assignee of bankrupt debt contracted by CO.
partnership Of which the bankrupt was member,
cannot be set-of against the claim of the assignee of
one OF the individual members of the copartnership
where there is a solvent living partner joint es-
tate. The Court awarded the sum of S2145.S5 and
costs in favor of the plaintiff The court stated that
the award of the auditor set aside purely on le
gal grounds, finding that the debts which were bar
red by the statute of limitation were honestly due the
same having been contracted in certain joint ship
ment by Dyer and Emery.

Dresser ct ais. to James Grover, and endorsed by
said Grover to plaintiffs. Defence-Fraud in incep
ton of note, the same being given in part payment
for patent right; and minority of of defendants.
Plaintiff denied the right of defendants to inquire in
to consideration in suit between the plaintiffs who
are innocent holders for valuable consideration and
they contended that the consideration even between
the original parties valuable and if the defend

FIRE.-The good people of East Gray and the
neighboring town of North Yarmouth were
thrown into intense excitement on the 24th
which happened sometime between the list and
oath inst. The building was owned by Mr.
Charles M Lane of Gray, on whom the loss
falls like thunder bolt from the sky. Situat-
come known to any until Mr.. Lane happened
to pass that way, when, behold, what a sight
met his gaze when he saw what was once his
stately edifice, the long cherished idol of his
dering ruins Man cannot know how he felt
as there was no insurance ON the building. 1t
is understood that two wood choppers had been
at work near by just previous to the fire, and
suspicion thus far rests on them.
P. S. Since the above was written the wood
choppers have been called to an account, and
have confessed their guilt and made settlement
in the following manner: Wood chopper No. 1
pays s. so; wood chopper No. 2 pays 81. 80; to-

A singular accident occurred the other day
to the engine in Noyes' machine shop on
Union street. The engine is an upright, and
just as it started on the down stroke the
crank pin broke and the expanding steam
drove the piston to the bottom of the cylinder,
smashing up the cross-head, packing box, &c.
Had the break occurred on the upward stroke,
the piston and cylinder head would undoubted-
ly have been driven through the roof of the
building.

The BALL OF THE NJ. L. A-The anniversary
ball of the Mercantile Library Association at
City Hall last night was one of the most bril-
liant affairs of the season. The hall was ele-
gantly draped with flags; over the platform
were the letters IN. L. a." formed of gas jets;
the front of the galleries bore elegant oil paint
ings and engravings furnished by Hale, and
suspended about the room were cages of ca
naries, supplied by Nutter Brothers Il Co.,
which made the evening vocal with their melo-
dy About $50 couples were present at the
opening but at midnight the company was con-
siderably reduced in numbers. Chambers
Band gave superb music and the ladies exhib-
tied some very pretty toilets An order of
dozen dances was prepared, which included
some attractive novelties. George Webster
spread an elegant table in the Reception Room
for such as desired refreshment and the recep-
ton of guests and the management of the floor
was entrusted to good committees. Mr.. Burn
ham, the janitor of the building, did everything
in the way of preparation for the festivities and
was in attendance all the evening to contribute,
if he could in any way, to the comfort of the
guests.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 8 clock yesterday af-
ternoon horse owned by Hugh Dolan, and
driven by Alexander Stuart took fright in Sa-
lem Lane and ran down Danforth street in spite
of Stuart's efforts to control him. At the cor
ner of Danforth and Maple streets he ran over
two men named Rafferty, and Cunningham,
who were at work on the road, injuring them
severely. At the corner of Bank street he ran
over two little girls, and then fell his length on
the ground and was secured. The girls were
but little injured, but the men were badly hurt
Cunningham was taken to his home in Browns
Field, in the rear of Pleasant street, and DR..
Thayer summoned, who was unable to ascertain
the result of his injuries. His head was badly
wounded, and severe if not fatal internal dam
age is apparent Rafferty, escaped better, but
he is badly hurt. Stuart was injured, we I'M
derstand.
About eight o'clock last evening Gen. Frank
Fessendens coachman harnessed his splendid
black horses into the carriage at the stable on
Deering street, and as he turned to close the
coach-house doors, the horses started on the
ruu and went down Congress and Middle streets
to India when one of the animals fell and was
dragged considerable distance by his mate.
The horse was so badly hurt that it is feared
the injuries will be permanent The carriage
was also damaged The horses were valuable
animals and were purchase by the General two
wears ago at a cost of S1500
