The Staten Island Ferry CoHpany,

AS the sufferers recover from the eff

steamer Westtield, they are beginning
to place their claims for damages III

themselves in very singular predica-

Internal Revenue Decision.

The Commissioner of Internal Reve-

stamp tax under the schedules must
have the stamps affixed before they
leave the premises of the manufacturer,
irrespective of the kind of packages
employed for putting the same into the
market, whether such packages be of
the ordinary and usual size or extraor-
binary, or what is frequently termed
packing in bulk. Each package must
have a stamp or stamps of the value
indicated by the retail price or the price
received for single packages with its
contents. A dealer may sell directly
from package which has been prop
crly stamped according to the price
paid for the package and the contents,
without affiAing additional stamps, but
a dealer who breaks al original pack
age and repacks its contents into
small packages, putting thereon his
marks and labels, will be required to
stamp the small packages when expos

which the accompanying sketch has
been made were taken from my orchard
which has been titled for years, and
the plants cut up and turned over and

they come up, either from the old roots
