From what I can tell, this is a record of donations to Vaad Hayeshivos from residents of Trzcianne.

If so, I would be grateful for a translation of the header information and also any of the handwritten lines containing the surname BROSTOV/BROSTOFF.

In case it helps, here is a link to the webpage where the record (p. 9/14) was found:

The details for Brostoff are in line 17 and say: "The groom Yuda son of Avraham Tzvi Brostoff"

He paid 2 on the 21st of Nissan.

It may be relevant that the next line says:
From the woman Khay' [i.e. Khayah] widow of Rabbi Ze'ev Kaltoski . There's a red X after that name. She paid for the letter ח and originally the text said her contribution was unmarked, please mark for her but later in bolder text it identifies word ניחח verse 31 chapter 4 parshat VaYikra. She apparently only paid 1.

There is no hint of what was counted when the payment says 1 or 2 or anything other amount.
