court, sizing
as a court Of
term, 1876.

]
THE object OF this suit is TO procure decree for
Il a sale Of certain premises IN Queen AIMS
county, conveyed by certain James Roe TO James
L. Bewley, nonresident in fee, that your orators
may receive the difference between the sum paid
therefor by said James l., Bewley, and the amount
| Of such sale, IN the event that said James L. Bew
ley shall not pay unto your orators the sum OF NJ
teen hundred dollars, with interest from the date Of
| the aforesaid conveyance.
The bill states that, some years ago, your orators
conveyed certain premises TO a certain James Roe
in fee, for the Of two thousand dollars, but that
said conveyance was intended 20 operate as a mort
gage, for that said Roe passed his bond TO Thomas
Bewley binding himself to Teconyey on the pay
ment to said Roe Of said TWO thousand dollars; and
! further that said Roe gave bond TO Ann, wife Of
! Thomas Bewey, providing for her an annuity Of
seventytwo dollars during her natural life IN case
said Ann should survive said Thomas Bewley.
The bill further states that said Roe offered 10 your
orators the sum Of fifteen hundred dollars for the
delivery of the aforesaid bonds, but that your ora
tors, believing the said premises to be worth more
money and being unwilling the title should pass
out Of the family Of your orators, prevailed upon
James l.. Bewley, the defendant 10 discharge the
debt due and owing 10 said Roe, who thereupon
conveyed said premises said defendant IN fee but
your orators aver that it understood and agreed
between them and said defendant, that the defend
ant should have only the estate and interest therein
which said Roe had held; and that, trusting to the
6hal affections Of said defendant, did not require
such obligations from him said Roe passed, and
now said defendant hath elected them from said
premises TO the great injury of your orators, and
they without remedy, except by the interference
of this court; and that the said James l.. Bewey
resides out Of the State of Maryland
II is thereupon adIudged and ordered, that the
complainant by causing copy Of this order to be
inserted in some newspaper published in the city OF
Washington, District Of Columbia, once in each Of
three successive weeks before the first day Of July
next give notice the said absent defendant Of the
object and substance Of this bill, and warn him to
appear 10 this court in person. or by solicitor, on OF
before the second day Of November next, TO answer
the premises and show cause, # any he has, why q
decree ought not to pass as prayed.

HOwELL,s Patent Framing Machine

HOWELL'S Patent Tanning Machine.
IL The great saving of time and labor effected by
this machine renders it one Of the most valuable OF
modern inventions, being Of the utmost importance
to those already engaged in the manufacture of eath-
er, besides offering the greatest inducements to 9TH
ers for starting the business.
BY this machine, which IN its operation strictly
follows the principles of the old way, all kinds OF
hides and skins may be tanned, not only so as to
produce superior article of leather, but with
wing of seventy-ive per cent in time, and fifty per
cent. in labor, besides great economy in bark or
tanning material.
A tannery in which the improved method was
adopted, would, by its savings alone, be attended
with large profits, whilst neighborng one where
the old plan was pursued would be losing money.
The invention, which has been awarded gold
medal by the American Institute, as being the most
valuable Improvement ever introduced into tins
branch Of manufactures has given the highest salts
faction in the different States in which 1t is in use.
In the opinion of practical men who have adopted
the improvement at the cost Of about five hundred
dollars an establishment be started which will
tan two thousand sides of sole leather four thou
sand calf skins per annunl, at fifty per cent less than
the usual expense Of manufacture. Where greater
amount Of business is required to be DONE addi-
tiona outlay, of course will be necessary. BY this
machine sole leather can be thoroughly tanned in
twenty TO thirty days, upper leather IN two weeks,
and calfskns in from three to seven days The
subscribers offer for sale ngle and county rights
for the above and will afford the most liberal facili-
ties to those purchasing State rights for the purpose
of reselling to counties individuals A neat mod
