stamp Duties.

As the Internal Revenue Law in regard to
stamp duties is not generally understood. and
mucL 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. Canan, 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
other public officers, require 81 stamp, and
bonds indemnifyipg any sum of money re-
quire so cent stamp for every thousand doll

Sl0o. If between S100 and $500, a 10 cent
stamp, and an increase of 5 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
of wi ich it is given
DEEDs.-Where the consideration is less
than $500, a SO cent stamp is required; when

Leases for farms OH the shares, and leases for

to the estimated yearly rental. All such leases

! MORTGAGES require the same stamp as
deeds.
| RECEIPTS for any sum over $40 require 2
cent stamp, except receipts in satisfaction Of
any mortgage, Judgment or decree OF any

ceipt for the delivery of any property.

rents, requires rs cent stamp. To sell or

cent stamp. Justices of the Peace should
bear in mind that is their duty to afix and
cancel the stamp on all aflidavits made before

ment to affx and cancel the stamp. A failure

catien of an instrument, any one of them can
afix and cancel the stamp.
