70 Use Them.
Though we have for some time been
living under the rule of stamps, the
question is one Of every day asking;
"How much Of a stamp does it re-
quire2" The following embraces, we
think, the most general use of stamps
as applied to manufacturers and par
ticular classes of business that pay a
special tax:
All notes and evidences oFdebt, five
cents on each $1OO; if under 500, FIVE
cents; if over 500, five cents. on each
s10O or part thereof. All receipts for
any amount, without limit, over $50,
two cents; if under $40 nothing
Checks of any amount, two cents. All
deeds and deeds of trust, fifty cents on
each $500 in value of the property con-
veyed Or the amount secured; when Il
deed of trust is fully stamped the note
secured need not be; but they should
be endorsed to show the reason why.
Mortgage bonds need not be stamped
if stamps are affixed to the mortgage.
All the dppraisements, estates, or es-
trays, five cents on each piece of pa
per. Afidavits of every description
are exempt from stamp dutys Ac-
Acknowledgements to deeds, ETC., are al
SO exempt. Contracts and agree
ments, five cents for each sheet or
piece of paper, except for rents, or
when for rent, fifty cents each $500 OF
rent or less; If over $500, fifty ceBts
for each additional 5000, or fractional
part thereof in excess of $500. Any
person interested can afix and cancel
stamps.

Adnif1ed 20 he bar.

Our young friend, Capt. J. B. FoRAKBRr
recently of this county, was last week ad-
mitted to the bar in the District Court now
in. session at Cincinnati, and has located
himself in the practice of his profession in
that city.
Capt. Foraker made an euviuble record
in the army, and on his return, like SEN
sible young man as he is, went to college.
He has reason to be proud of his career at
the Ohio Wesleyan University, and also
at the Cornell University. He graduated
at the latter Institution last July.
We shall be disappointed if the Capt. IS
success in the law is not in keeping with
that in the army and at College.

The Toledo Weekly Blade
'sNaSby's Paper"

OF the mammoth Weekly sheets now
published, the Toledo Blade, the organ of
"Rev. Petroleum V. Nasty, ranks among
the best. Its eight broad pages are filled
with the choicest reading matter, and in
typographical appearance and general
character it has no superior and few
equals.
The rich and racy letters OF petroleum
V. Nasty" are written expressly for the
Blade, and always appear first in It's col
umns. Nothing in the line of humorous
literature has ever attained the popularity
of these letters.
Mr.. "Nasby" is now engaged on an
original novel, which will be published. in
the Blade during the coming year. These,
with other rare attractions in course of
preparation, ought to largely increase its
already enormous circulation.
We will furnish the News and the Blade
together, one year for $3.50 in advance.
10 subscribers who have already paid
for the News in advance, can have the
Blade also, by paying US $3.50.

Get Ready.


Next year will occur the great de-
cenniaI census of the United States
made by the General Government.
Persons will be appointed for every
locality in the States and townships
to gather statistics of the inhabitants
and of all the agricultural productions,
manufactures, etc. Each cultivator
will be asked for a concise, accurate
statement of land occupied by him,
the number of acres, and the amount
of each crop raised during the year,
ending June 30, next. Those who
were called upon before will doubtless
remember the difficulty in making up
an accurate report of the various crops.
AS these reports will be called for in
June, it will be necessary to give in
the crops gathered in this fall The
suggestion that we would now max e
is, that cultivators write down, while
fresh in mind, the number of acres IN
der cultivation, thelnumber of acres OF
each kind, the amount per acre, and
the gross amount. The milk product
also, and the amount of pork, beef,
etc, will also be asked for, as we'll as
all kinds of fruit, etc. s-[ChiI. ADV.

Extract rrOnr IA Private letter
from HaWR Sandwich Islands.

Although the eruption
is not so violent now, the volcano is
fearful sight to behold. The rivers OF la
va still flow, and the smoke from the
crater ascends in awful majesty During
this volcanic upheaval it has been very
sickly here. A peculiar sort Of low mala-
rious fever, which has grown out Of tho
foul, condensed vapOrs Of the volcano, has
prevailed to an alarming extent, and at
one time it was feared it would depOpu-
late the island. But fort unately, seU-
captain (caIling here for suppiies) distrib-
uted Plantation BItters to the sufferings
and quick and thorough cures were there
suIt. The. news spread like wild-tires
Messrs. Ching-Takin and Co., Commission
Merchants, had the Bitters for sale. In q
short time their Office was besieged and
their supply exhausted. A steamer was
dispatched to San Francisco by order Cf
the Hospital Department. and new and
enormous supply obtained as soon as pos
sible. From that moment the scOUrge
was stayed. Not another fatal case occur
red, and the epidemic has now entirely
disappeared. Is this wonderful
remedy known in your city2 l hope so,
for it is sure cure foral fevers and mias-
matte sickness. You may tell your
friends so for me, - H. NJ. G.

1mnortant 10 stock Inisern.

A decision Of general interest to
farmers, aud especially to the large
stock raisers Of the West, has just
been made by Commissioner Delano.
In some districts persons had been as
sessed for tax as cattle brokers, who
were in the habit of buying cattle in
summer, and turning them into their
pastures, and selling them to butchers
and drovers as soon as they were in
proper condition. The question of
their liability having been referred to
the Commissioner, he decided that
they were not liable if such buying,
pasturing and selling were necessary
to their business as farmers and gra-
zers, or properly incidental thereto.
The real cattle broker under this de-
cisiOn is held to be one whose regular
business it is to buy. and sell cattle in
values greater than ter thousand dol
lars annually, and simply for profit.

DELICACIEs.--Oneo of the special delica-
cies Of modern times may be accounted
Speer's Port Grape Wine, which combines
with rare purity and nicely of flavor the
good qualities of port and claret; it is
neither insipid nor bitter, hut hits the hap
py medium most to be desired in a con-
slant beverage or ina drink for the sick.
For invalids it is invaluableby virtue of
its tonic qualities, and particularly its alb
solute freedom from all adulteratiuns.-Ac-
tual trial will show that Speer's Port
Grape Wine has excellence Of its own un-
rivaled by any other wine in the market.

A newspaper correspondent quotes
Thames oarsman as saying: at
under ordinary circumstances, were
asked to pick out a racing crew, l
should have less reference to muscle
than to faith and perseverance. !
would never select a man who would
feel discouraged because things look
ed a little dark; give me man who
can row losing race. one faint heart
in a boat would spoil any crew.
Good philosophy that, ard as good
everywhere else as on the Thames.
Men who can row a losing race, they
are the men that every good work
wants. Such men win when they
lose. .s#
