one of the banks at St Johns, p. O., a note
for s. 900, signed with the name of Calvin
Derrick, and endorsed by W. French, r.
Williams, and H. Burwort of Clarenceyille
He was asked if he was the man
whose name was signed to the note,
and replied he was. He was informed
if he would wait until the next
day they would then let him know
whether he could have it or not They
then sent a man to the notary at Henryyille
to know if Mr.. Derrick was good for the
amount, apd was informed he was good for
five times the amount The next day the
man went to the bank and got the money.
A few days ago Squire Derrick and the en-
dOrsers were informed the note was due and
payment requested. As this was the trst
they had heard Of the affair, they
at once went to the bank and de-
MED ever presenting OF eudoI1lug Sucu

his name, which he did. Upon comparin 2
the two the bank was satisfied they had
been duped. The man who drew the money
is represented as n short thick man with
sandy whiskers.

Mr.. Rogers and Mr. Mixter, agents of the
Internal Revenue Department, having been
summoned TO Burlington as witnesses for
| the government at the examination Of MIR.
! f. \. Jewett, have taken occasion Of their
presence here to examine the accounts Of
Mr. Crane, as disbursing officer of this In
ternal Revenue district They inform us that
from such examination, which has been as
thorough as it could he without comparison
with the accounts at Washington, they dis
cover no indication of any error or default
on Mr.. Cranes part The drafts, notices of
drafts, checks and vouchers, correspond
with the entries on the books, and all ap-
pears to be straight. They can only account
for the statement received from the depart
ment, by one of Mr.. Cranes b0ndsmen,
to which allusion has been made, by
the supposition that some credits to Mr..
Crane may have been suspended at the
department for further iIquiry-not an
unusual circumstance-leavinga an apparent
balance against him. 1t will be remember
ed that the statement was not that there
wa&a defciency;bn that there was balance
due from Mr.. Crane, stated approximately
which might be modified on final settlement
1t should be understood, in reference to this
matter, that the disbursing officer Of a
revenue district unlike an army paymaster,
has no funds in his hands, as such officer.
He receives drafts from Washington, to
cover the amounts of his disbursements,
which drafts he must deposit in the bank,
and against which he can check only for his
proper disbursements and commissions
The whole business Is done through the
bank; and there ia very little opportunity
for fraud or defalcation.
