the creditor, the character of such claim, whether open account,
note, bond, bill obligatory, judgment, or other evidence of debt,
and the amount thereof; if an open account, the interest due
thereon up to the date of the passage, shall be stated separately;
if a note, bond, bill obligatory, judgment, or other evidence of
debt, the date thereof, and the date from which interest begins
to run, shall also be stated, and other particulars of such claims;
