Many persons have | ee rhisis St amy time a: v lite expense. sis, net as There was provision made jor | vahdatung unstamped papers, made and issued the act of 1p64, upon compliance with | Provisions. Similar provision is made | i@ Be amended act of 1565, upon condition | At the party direlict shall pay $50 and in- | terest at 6 per cent..om the stamp, if the cost | of the latter is more than $50.

Under the amended act of 1865 it remains $2.0 upon acceptors and payers of toreign bills of exchange without first stamping the securities: In this case,in New | York, the party sued bad negiected, before the. passage of the ameaded act of 1-65, to affix stamps Upon seven rece for the payment ofmoney. He was sued for the full booed on each case, AMounting to #1,400 in all, anda verdict was given against bim for the whole sum.

There are poduties which devolves upon a citizen which ean be as cheaply discharged as those under the stamp laws, and few which. if negiected, may COSt & careless person more dearly. MyeTERiovs Ar ratr.—On Friday the dead bodies of two ferrales were founs! on the Coney Island beach, and on Saturday ano'ber female body floated ashore. No clue has yet peen as- vertained as fo their identity or the cause of ceath. Some suppose they were victims of’ the cholera on board one of the vessels iu yearantine and were thrown into the water. he imbabitants of Coney leland pave been wauch excited on the head of this supposition, as they deem it rather dangerous to have the bodies of those who died with cholera thus transferred to their immediaie vicinity. The fact tha: the bodies were in sacks, with ropes around their waists, gives plausibility to the story tbat those females were cholera vic- ums and thrown overboard after death. A coroner's inquest will be held upen the bodies, attbough it may be difficnit to get the requisite apmd of men to attend on the jury under mstances.—.V. ¥. Herald.
