Postage stamps cannot be used in payment oi
the duty chargeable on instruments.
1t is the duty of the maker of an instrument to
afx and cancel the stamp thereon. 1.-The neglects
to do so, the party for whom it is made, may
stamp it before it is used and if used after the
cannot afterwards be etfectually stamped. Amy
failure upon the part of the maker of an instru-
ment to appropriately stamp it, renders him liza
BILE to penalty of two hundred dollars.
Suits are commenced in many States by other
process than writ, viz: summons, warrants, pub
lication, petition &c, in which case these, as the
original process, severally require stamps.
Writs of scra facias are subject to stamp duty
as original processes.
The jurat of an affidavit taken before Justice

authorized to take atidavits, is held to be GER

The assignment of mortgage is subject to the
same duty as that imposed upon the original in
strument; that is to say for every sum of five
hundred dollars, any fractional part thereof, of
the amount secured by the mortgage, at time of
its assignment there must be affixed stamp or

When two or more persons join in the execution
of an instrument, the stamps to which this instru
ment is liable under the law, may be affixed and
cancelled by one of the parties.
In conveyances of real estate, the law provides
that the stamp affixed must answer to the value
of the estate OH interest conveyed,
No stamp is required on any warrant of attor-
ney accompanying bond or note, when such

any bond note is secured by mortgage, but one

stamp duty being the highest rates required for
such instruments, either of them. In such
case note memorandum of the value or de-
nomination of the stamp affixed should be made

RALEIGH, n. c., SATURDAY,

We Americans have supposed that the

but mounted on one of the batteries of
the Castle is wrought-iron gun which
was supposed to have been forged in "a

formed of longitudinal bars, banded to-
gether. 1t burst in 1852, on the occa-
sion Of the visit of the Duke of York to
Edinburg. Beside it lie some of the
large stone balls which were made for
it.
Edinburg is most delightful city in
every respect, filled with objects of in

of a stranger tor great while.
Onr next visit was to Stirling, its
Castle and Palace. The latter was

ornamented with recessed panels, cor

her father and her son were crowned in

A CoNNUBIAL SERMoN.-A connubial
little sermon, from the text, Be hap

contemporary print
Wife and Mother, are you tired,
and out of patience with your husbands
and your children's demands upon your
ted to speak out feelings to that faith
full, but, perhaps, sometimes needless
or exacting husband Of yours ? or to
scold and fret at these sweet and beau
tiful ones? Do you groan and say,
my fathers house, where / lived in ease
and quiet % Are you, by reason of the
care and WEAKNESS of the body which
wifehood and motherhood must bring,
forgetfill of, and unmindful for, their
JOYS 20, wife and mother what if
stroke should smite your husband and
lay him low? What if your children
should be snatchcd from your arms,
and from your bosom? What if there
were no true, strong heart for you to
leap upon? What if there We're no
soft, little innocents to. nestle in your
arms, ana 10 loNe you, VI receive your
love? How would it be with you then
Be patient and kind, dear wife be
unwearying and long suffering, dear
mother, for you know not how long you
may have with you your best and dear
est treasures-you know not how long
you may tarry with them. Let there
be nothing for you to remember which

they leave you alone let there be moth

ness and love unutterahle, if you are
called to leave them by the way. Be
patrent, be pititul, be tender Of them
all; for death will step sooner or later
between them and you. And O! what
would you do, if you should be doomed
to sit solitary and forsaken through
years and yearS!'

AN ANCIENT DINNER.-The excava-
tions at Pompeii are going on with an
activity stimulated by the important
discoveries made at almost every step,
and the quantities of gold and silver
found, which more than suffice to cover
the cost OF the work. Near the Tenn
pie Of Juno, of which an account was re-
Gently given, has been brought to light
a house belonging to Il millionaire of
that time. as the furniture is of ivory,
bronze and marble. The couches of the
trinclinum or dining room, are OF es-
peciallv extreme richuess.
The flooring consists Of immense mo-
Saics, we'll preserved in parts, of which
the centre represents table laid out
tor a grand dinner. In the middle on a
large dish, may be seen splendid pea
cock, with his tail spread out, and placed
back to back with another bird, also Of
beautiful plumrge. Around them are
arranged Holsters, one Of which holds
a blue egg in its claw, second, an oys-
ter, which appears to be fiicassed, as it
is opened and covered with herbs a
rat .farci, and a fourth, a small vase
with fried grasshoppers. Next comes
a circle of dishes with fish, interspersed
with others ofpartridges, hares, and
squirrels, which all have their heads
placed between their forefeet. Then
comes row of sausages of all forms,
supported by one of eggs, oysters and
olives, which in its turn is surrounded
by a double circle Of peaches, cherries,
melons and other fruits and vegetables.
The walls Of the trinclinium are covered
with fresco paintings of birds, fruits,
flowers. game and fish of all kinds, the
whole interspersed with drawings
which lend a charm to the whole not
easy to describe. On table of rare
wood, carved and iulaid with gold,
marble, agate and laapizlazuil, were
amphore still containing wine, and
some goblets onyx.
