The Senate has passed a bill by vote Of
Fl to 4, to allow the Supervisors Of any
County, which will comply with the provis-
ions of the bill, to levy a tax on dogs. 1t
is not known what the House will do
Those who have valuable dogs don't object
to such tax. 1t is only those who have a
parcel of useless ours, who will revolt. In
the mean time the farmers in many local.
ties are compelled to cease raising sheep
from the ravages Of such untaxed ours. A

their entire aocks destroyed by dogs-a d.

Bank DefaIcatiOn.

BosroN, June 3.-On Saturday af-
ternoon last, A. NJ. Wadleigh, discount
clerk Of the Merchants National Bank,
was arrested on the charge Of having
appropriated the funds Of the bank, to
the amount Of $S7, 900. The defalcation
was detected by Mr.. Ripley. bank
examiner, who was examining the
assets OF the bank on last Saturday
When he reached the bonds Mr.. Wad.
leigh began bringing the packages one
at time, amounting in the aggregate
to three hundred and some odd thou
sand dollars. Mr.. Ripley requested
that all the bonds be brought and placed
on the table. Wadleigh complied
with the demand, when, alter careful
count, Mr.. Ripley found discrepancy
of $1,000. A meeting of the direct
ors of the bank was called, when Wad.
leigh admitted the defalcation. He
was accordingly taken before United
States Commissioner Hallett, who COM
mitted him to Suffolk county Jail, in
default of 5000 bail. His examiua-
ton will take place today. Ruinous
speculation is said to have been the
cause of the defslcation.
