Nothing is more common. when business
grows dull, and hard times begins TO spread
their paralyzing effects over financial circles,
than for merchants, manufacturers and pro-
fessional men TO seek reduction Of expenses
by Withdrawing their advertising patronage
from the newspapers. This however, is a
very short sighted policy 1t is almost like
taking in the sign board from ones store
door, or hiding ones light under o bushel.
Human nature is q curious conglomeration
of motives and actions; and when . man
sees dealer looking gloomy, hears him talk
discouragingly. and finds him dispensing
with the ordinary signs of thrift he is apt to
transfer his custom to a more prosperous
looking neighbor, pretty much on the princi
pie that the world aocks to the rising and
shuns the sinking enterprise
At no time does a business man need his
wits and all his energy more than when dull
times threaten to overwhelm him. This is
the period when the sagacious seek their ad-
vantage. They behold competitors withhold
inu etiort 80 they redouble their own AS
advertiser after advertiser withdraws from
the public. it becomes plain that the field Of
risary is cleared Of opposition. Then il is
thai the keen wide-awake dealer PUSHES into
print. He makes known his business with
extensive pertinacity. He feels that ne il
making a paying investment, and he generals
ly reaps rich harvest Of patronage.

The HEAr-The great sultriness now prev
alent in Gil parts of the United States, seems
without parallel outside Of this country.
Our exchanges are all commenting upon this
fact. A Boston paper mentions that mer-
chant of Surinam, now in that city says they
have no weather there like the terrible heat
of this summer, yet Surinam is within the
tropics. Another, from Hayti, says nothing
there can equal it, whilst Brazilian, from
Para, says such torrd heat as has prevailed
the last week was never known at his equato-
rial home. Similar accounts come to us from
all quarters but with all the remark about the
heat, we nowhere see any one advancing any
theory to account for it. Meteorologists du-
ring the cold days last winter used to talk Of
scebergs in the Gulf Stream Where are
those icebergs now2 No reason is given for
the intense heat, such as was then advanced
as the cause of the intense cold. 1t is prob
ably too hot to theorise abont it or any thing
else now

When Mr.. Fagan's little girl died, last

take for quininel, her little brother Johnny
had similar prescription put up for him.

stamp Duties.

AS the Internal Revenue Law in regard to
stamp duties is not generally understood and
much inconvenience and actual loss to par
ties result therefrom, we publish below a
carefully prepared statement of the law, In
regard to every day transactions. This state
ment may be relied upon as correct, having
been prepared for the Johnstown Tribune by
r. II. Canaan, ESQ.,, clerk to the Collector OF
Internal Revenue for that District. Cut it
out for preservation:
AGREEMENT or contract, for each sheet OF
/ paper on which the same is written, requires
five cent stamp.
| BANK CHECK, without regard to the amount,
two cents. An order drawn on any other per-
| son or persons, company or corporation, for
any sum over $40, requires 2 cent stamp.
BONDS of Constables, Supervisors, or any
other public officers, require 81 stamp, and
bonds indemnifying any sum of money re-
4uire so cent stamp for every thousand dol"
lars or fractional part thereof;
PRoMIssoRY NoTEs, due bills, &c., require
s cent stamp when the amount is not over
$l0e, If between 500 and $500, a 10 cent
stamp, and an increase of cents for every
500 or fractional part of the same. No diff.
ference how small the amount of the note, it
requires S cent stamp, Under the present
law, the amount of the stamp is regulated by
the amount of the note, and not by the time
of which it is given.
DERDs.-Where the consideration is less
than $500, a SO cent stamp is required; when
over $500 and not over $1,000, 81 stamp,and
an additional so cent stamp for every $500 OF
fractional part thereof
LEASE, or agreement to rent property, re-
lquiree SO cent stamp if the rent does not
exceed $500 per year. When the rent ex-
ceeds $500, so cent stamp is required fol
each additional $500 or fractional part thereof
Leases for farms on the shares, and leases fol
coal and oil lands must be stamped according
to the estimated yearly rental. ALI such leases
should be presented to the collector of the
district, who is acthorized to estimate the
rental and affi1 the appropriate stamp.
| MORTGAGES require the same stamp a:
deeds.
RECEIPTS for any sum over $50 require a
cent stamp, except receipts in satisfaction
any mortgage, Judgment or decree of-an!
court. The same stamp is required on re
ceipt for the delivery of any property.
PowER OF ATTORNEY to receive or cOllee
Irents, requires Is cent stamp. To sell o
convey, or rent, or lease real estate, $
stamp; for any other purpose, 30 cents.
CERTIFICATES AND AFFIDAvITs require a
cent stamp. Justices of the Peace shoul
bear in mind that, is their duty to affx an
cancel the stamp on all atidavits made befor
them, except when taken in suits or legs
proceedings.
l PosTAGE STAMPS cannot be used.
1t is the duty of the maker of the instrr
ment to afix and cancel the stamp. A fallul
to do so subjects him to heavy penalty.
When two or more persons join in the ex'
cHtion of an instrument, any one Of them ca
afix and cancel the stamp.
