OMISSION OF STAMP--When and
how may be taken advantage Of.
1. The omission Of a stamp does
not invalidate an instrument, unless
the omission, is fraudulent, can not
be taken advantage of on demurrer;
1t must be set up by special plea,
or urged at the trial.

Mr.. Justice Field delivered the opin-
ion of the court:
The only question in this ease
arises upon the demurrer to the dec.
laration. The action is on four prom
isary notes ofthe defendant, and the
declaration contains the usual aver
mcnts according to the established
precedents in such cases, but does
not aver that the notes were stam-
ped as required by act of congress,
either at their date or at any subse-
quent time. The demurrer is gem
eral, that the declaration does not
set fourth facts sufficient in law to
constitute II good cause Of action;
but the omission ofan avertmcut
in the particulars mentioned, consti-
tutcs the special gr und of objection
presented in the bricfof counsel.
To the objection there are sever
al answers. In the first place the net
Of congress which requires promis-
Org notes, and other instruments to
be stamped only require, that they
"shall be deemed invalid and Of no
ctloat" when the stamp is omitted
"wid intent to eyade the provisions
Of the act--that is, with intent to
jetraud the Government of the
stamp duty. tits fraudulent, aud
not an accidental omission, at which
the penalty of the statute is levied.
Such fraudulent omission, if avail
liable at all to the maker Of the note
can only be set up by special plea,
or urged OH the trial. 1t cannot be
taken Advantage on demurrer. (See
act Of July u 1866, amending inter
nal revenue act OF June 80, 1854,
sec 15S, IA Stats 242.
In the second place, if a STAMP
were essential to the validity Of pa
per of this kind, tie aycrment in the
declaration that the defendants had
made and delivered to the plaintiff
their pr2misory notes, would imply
that the instruments were IN the
form and condition required by law.
1t has been held that in a declara-
ton upon a contract some memoran-
dem ofwhich, under the statute of
frauds, must be in writing, a COM
pliance with the requisition of the
statute is implied in the avertment,
that the contract was made, and
that such compliance need not be
specially stated, although it must be
proved if denied by the defendant.
So in this case, the eyistance Of a
stamp upon the notes, as in the case
stated, the existence of q writing is
a matter of evidence and not of
pleading q Gritty an Pleading, 304)
In the third place, the filing of a
plea to the 7 erits after the demur-
rer was oYerruled operates as a
waiver of the demurrer. The plead
ing was thus abandoned, and ceased
thenceforth to be a part of the re-
cord. Clearwater VS. Meredith, |

The defense is without merit, and
the writ of error appc rs to us to
have been prosecuted merely for de-
lay. The judgement will therefore
be affirmed with ten per cent. dam
aocs.

a RICH ADVERTISEMENT. The

A CHAPTER of Facts.

Space is valuable in n newspaper, and 1t Is
therefore proposed in this advertisement TO con-
dense a variety of facts. important to the public,
into small compass. Those facts refer to Hos
letters Stomach Bitters-what that celebrated
medicine is, and what 1t will do, In the first
place, then, the article is stimulant, tonic and
Alternative, consisting of n combination of an
absolutely pure spirituous agent with the most
valuable medicinal vegetable substances that
Botanic research has placed at the disposal OF
the chemist and the physician. These ingredi-
euts are compounded with great care, and in
such proportions as TO produce preparation
which invi gorates without exciting the general
system, It tones, regulates and controls the
stomach, the bowels, the liver and the minor
secretive organs.
What this great restorative will do must be
gathered IRON what 1t has done. The case OF
dyspe psia, or any other form Of indigestion, in
which 1t has been persistently administered
without enecting radical cure, is yet to be
heard from, and the same may be said OF bilious
disorders, intermittent fever nervous affections
general debility, constipation, sick headache
mental disabilities to which the feeble are sc
subject. 1t purhes all the fluids of the body, in
cuding the blood. and the gentle stimulant'
which 1t mparts TO the nervous system is moi
succeeded by the slightest reaction. This is
chapter of fact which readers, for their owl
sakes, should mark and remember.

JUNE.-The month of roses and
strawberries-is here The floral en-
bems of this month we always find
pictured Off with a wreath of towering
grapes, encompassing branch of ripe
Strawberries. This is strawberry wealth
er, and we hear frequent eXclamations
by those owning little beds planted with
stalks containing this luscious looking
and tasting fruit. "Look at my straw
berry beds, are they not flourishing?"
Strawberries and sugar, how delicious!
but the Italians also add the juice of or
ange, which we design to say is still
more delicious. For school lads and
lasses the month of June is perfection,
for hurrah ! vacation commences this
month at least, in nearly all of the SEM
inaries and colleges in the country. The
word June has variety of derivations
assigned to it. Ovid thought it was
so called in homer of Juno. Others sup.
pose it to have been named after the
first Consul Junius Brutus, and again it
is asserted that it comes from the Latin
word .jungo Uoin,) and commentaries
the union of the Romans and Sabines.
