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. h. 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
a 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 SO, requires cent stamp.
BONDS of Constables, Supervisors, or any
o ther public officers, require 81 stamp, and
bonds indemnifying any sum of money re-
quire a so cent stamp for every thousand doll
lars or fractional part thereof;
PRoMIssoRY NOTES, due bills, &C., require a
| 5 cent stamp when the amount is not over
Sl09. 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 cent stamp, Under the present
law, the amount of the stamp is regulated by
the amount of the note, and not by the time
lof which it is given,
DEEDs.-Where the consideration is less
than $500, a. so cent stamp is required; when
lover $500 and not over $1,000, a 81 stamp,and
an additional so cent stamp for every $500 Oh
fractional part thereof
| q 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, a so cent stamp is required fol
leach additional $500 or fractional part thereo
Leases for farms on the shares, and leases fol
coal and oil lands must be stamped according
to the estimated yearly rental. AL such lease.

district, who is acthorized to estimate tht
rental and afi1 the appropriate stamp.
| MORTGAGES require, the same stamp al
deeds. .t,t. .n
RECEIPTS for any sum over $50 require
lcent stamp, except receipts in satisfaction o
Iany mortgage, judgment or decree of an!
court. The same stamp is required on re
Iceipt for the delivery of any property. :.
Power OF ATTORNEY to receive or collec
rents, requires a rs cent stamp. To sell O
convey, or rent, or lease real estate, a S.
lstamp; for any other purpose, SO cents,
| CERTIFICATES AND AFFIDAyITs require
cent stamp. Justices of the Peace shoulc
bear in mind that is their duty to afix ant
cancel the stamp on all afidavits made befor
them, except when taken in suits or lega
proceedings.
POSTAGE STAMPS cannot be used.
1t is the duty of the maker of the instru
ment to afix and cancel the stamp. A fallur
to do so subjects him to aheavy penalty.
When two or more persons join in the exc
Ecution of an instrument, any one of them ca

G REAT REBELLION.

fTlHE late Rebellion stands out peculiar and
i extraordinary in human events; and the
MAGNIFICENT SCALE upon which the war has
been conducted, constitute it one of the
GRANDEsT AND MOST BRILLIANT CHAP
TIERS IN THE WORLDS HISTORY.
Mr.. Headley, of all writer's, is perhaps best
qualified to portray the stupendous features
of the mighty contest. His previous works
on less momentous themes have placed him
in the first position, as a GRAPHIC AND POWER
FUL DELINEAToR OF WAR SCENES AND CHARAc-
TIERS, and the magnitude and grandeur of the
present subject, impart to his pen the fire and
vigor of get more exalted inspiration, and
furnish ample scope for the HIGHEST ExHIBI-
TIoN OF HIS PECULIAR GENIUS FOR MILITARY DE-
scRIpTIoN. Under his powerful pen the stir
ring scenes OF the War pass in review with
the vividness and distinctness of present
and living reality; while his eREATTALENT FOR
CONDENSATION enables him to embody every
thing of Importance in COMPASS JUST SUITED
TO THE PUBLIC WANT. From no other source
can so CLEAR AND COMPREHENSIVE AN IMPRESSION
OF THE GRAND MARCH OF EVENTS be obtained,so
easily and agreeably, as from Mr.. Headley's
work. aet Hsa 9H
The Second Volume, completing the Work,
