Read the following Testimonials:

Dear Sir : la reply to yonr enquiry relative to the merits of j^our "Liquid Enamel Paint," (Bradley's Patent,) I will say it has been nearlj' two years since I purchased the Paint from you, and so far as I am able to judge, it looks equally as well as when first applied, and I cheerfully can recommend it to those who need painting done. Yours truly, D. J. Foley.

Mr. C. P. Knight, Sole Gen'l Af/cnt, l);j W. Lombard St., Baltimore.

Dear Sir: In reply to your inquiry of the 4th inst., wishing to know how I like the Liquid Enamel Paint, (Bradley's Patent,) manufactured by the New Jersey Liquid Enamel Paint Co., at Raritan, I will say the first of the several invoices sent me was in April, 1873, which is quite two years, and it is very gratifying for me to state that it was applied as soon as it arrived and still looks admirably; and I freely lend my name with many others to endorse all you claim for it - namely. Beauty, Durability and Economy.

Very respectfully, &c., Rich'd Mules.

IFrota Gen. IC. S. Tl'J^JCM, Autei-iriin Strtiin Stiff Comiiiiiii/.

Sir : In the spring of 1873 I painted my house, stable and outbuildings with the Lk^uid Enamel Paint, (Bradley's Patent,) purchased from you, and so far it has proven to be all you claim for it, and entirely satisfactory to me. It is certainly a durable and glossy Paint, when put on properly. My buildings were painted with your Paint by G. J. Roche, who applied it as per directions, and it retains its gloss admirably; and I take pleasure in recommending it. Very respectfully, E. B. Ttler.

Marriages' are dissolved a mn- evlo matrmionii for the canonical causes ol impediment existing previous to marriage; for adultery ; for abandonment for three years ; for fornication by wife before marriage. The court may decree that the guilty party shall not marry during life-time of the other. Divorces a niensa et ihoro are decreed for vicious conduct, cruelty of treatment, abandon- ment and desertion. The court has power to award to the wife the property she had when married, or the value of the same, and also to provide for the custody and guardian- ship of the children. The court will award alimony when a divorce is decreed. Alimony pendente lite, or apart from divorce, la also allowed.

Rights of Married Women. - A married woman may acquire, hold and mauajjc sepa- rate real and personal estate witbont the intervention of a trustee, free from liability for the debts of her husband, unless the same be acquired from the husband in prejudice of his creditors ; but such separate property is liable for her own debts. She must convey real or personal estate by joint deed with the husband, but may devise the same l)y last will and testament as if she were fi.feme sole; she may relinquish dower by separate deed, or jointly with her husband. A married woman insuring; the life of her husband may, upon his deatli receive the amount of the insurance for her own use, free from any claim of the legal representatives or creditors of the husband.

An obligation to bind the separale estate of a married woman in equity must show upon its face some evidence of the intent to charge the estate, or there must be evidence aliunde tending to prove such intent.

By act of 1872, a married woman can be sued jointly with her husband on a note, bill of exchange, etc., contract or agreement executed jointly with him ; judgments in such cases may be collected as if defendants were not husband and wife.

Interest. - The legal rate of interest is six per cent, per annum. The legislature has power to provide otherwise. Usurious contracts cannot be enforced for the excess above the legal rate.

Tax Law. - By the Maryland code, all real and personal property, all chattels, real and personal, in fact, eyery description of property, is liable to assessment and taxation, except as therein exempted, General schedules of "all property and things liable to assessment and taxation, and also of all exemptions, will be found in Art. 81, sees. 2, 3, and 4 of that code. No person, who is not assessed to the amount of fifty dollars, is required to pay tax - there being no poll tax in the State The state comptroller is cliarged with the superintendence and enforcement of the prompt collection of all taxes.

Execution of Wills. - To make a valid will of real estate, a party must be, if a male, of the age of twenty-one years, and if a female, eighteen years, and of sound and disposing mind and capable of executing a valid deed or contract; sucli wills must be attested and subscribed, in the presence of the testator, by at least three credible witnesses.

Wills of personal property are valid without witnesses

Mortgages - Are executed, acknowledged, and recorded as deeds. They contain a power, authorizing sale on non-fnltillment of conditions. In the city of Baltimore, under a public local law, a decree for sale is first obtained before sale, from the court of equity ; trustee is appointed by court, and gives bond, advertises property for sale, and reports to court after sale for ratification. In the counties, the mortgagee or other person named in deed, sells under the power in mortgage, after notice by publication, also bonds before sale, and reports his sale to court of equity on ratification.

Chattel Mortgages - Are in use, and in practice are tantamount to bills of sale-

Trust Deeds - In the nature of mortgages, are uuusunl.

Affidavits. - No particular form is required for ordinary affidavits. They may be made before a notary public, or a commissioner of deeds for Maryland. The official character should be carefully authenticated ; the affidavit in attachment cases and under act of 1864, (an act for dispatch of business in the Baltimore city courts in obtaining judgment with- out delay at rule days : see court calendar for Maryland) must be as stated under Proof of Claims above.

Recording. - Deeds and mortgages must Ije recorded within six months from date in the county or city in which the land aflected lies ; and when acknowledged and recorded, shall take eft'ect as between the parties from date. Any deed, except mortgages, may be recorded after the time, and when so recorded shall have, as against the grantor, etc., and against all purchasers with notice, and against creditors of grantor become so after recording, the same validity as if recorded in time. Registration of deed imports notice to all ; and actual knowledge of an unrecorded deed is equivalent to registration. Regis- tration of a deed defectively acknowledged cannot afl'ect a bona Jide purchaser without

Deeds. - No estate of inheritance or freehold, or any declaration or limitation of use, or any estate for above seven years, shall pass or take effect, unless the deed conveying the same shall be executed, acknowledged, and recorded as hereinafter provided, and all such deeds shall be acknowledged before some one of the following officers :

If acknowledged within the State, the acknowledgment may be made before a justice of the peace, judge of the orphans' court or of the circuit court of any county, or before tlie judge of the superior court, court of common pleas, or circuit court for Baltimore city. If acknowledged before a justice of the peace within the Slate, but out of the county or city in which the real estate or any part of it lies, the official character of the justice must be certified to by the clerk of the circuit or superior court under his official seal.

If acknowledged without this State, but within the United States, the acknowledgment may be made before: 1st, a notary public ; 2d, a judge of any court of the United States : 3d, a judge of any court of any State or territory having a seal ; 4th, a commissioner of this State to take the acknowledgment of deeds.

No separate examination of a married woman is required.

All deeds conveying real estate, which shall contain the names of the grantor and grantee, or bargainor or bargainee, a consideration, in cases where a consideration is necessary to the validity of "a deed, and a description of the real estate, sufficient to identify the same with reasonable certainty, and the interest or estate intended thereby to be conveyed, shall be sufficient, if executed and acknowledged as above, and duly recorded within the prescribed time as above stated. Where the land lies in more than one county, or in the city of Baltimore and a county or counties, the deed must be recorded in each of

Every deed conveying real estate shall be signed and sealed by the grantor or bargainor, and attested by at least one witness.
