The Herring Fisheries of this County
have been so unsuccessful for number Of
years that the majority of them have been
abandoned and the small number in OPP
Grafton this season have been more sue
cessiul than for many Years but there arc
strong doubts whether the return will be
permanent.
The run of herrings this season seems
to have been partial, beng pretty much
confined 10 tie eastern side Of the Bay.
There was continuance of strong north
westerly winds about the time that her
rings enter the mouth of the Potomac,
which probably drove them on the eastern
side of the Bay, on which side they con-

but our Legislature, unlike that of other
countres) has never taken proper steps
for the protection of our fisheries.
1t is said, that the invention Of picking

Dutchman, who died in the year 1897.
His grave was visited by the Emperor
Charles V. and a magnificent tomb was
erected by that prince to his memory.

Decision in Professor Webster's Case.
Tie Supreme judicial Court this morn
ing Chief Justice Shaw presiding) pro-
nourced the decision on the writ of error
sued on, by Professor Webster for new
trial. The court stated, that after duly
weighing all the arguments and circum-
stances connected with the case, it could
find no grounds for the prisoners ition.
The case, therefore, stands as It was under
the trial and sentence, and no further
hopes can be entertained of obtaining a
new trial. From present indications, there
is no probability OF the prisoners escaping
the penalty Of the law heretofore pro-
uounced upon him.

The Roads.

There is good deal OF complaint
about the condition OF the public roads
this season. The roads IN this county
are never in a good condition any sea-
son, and as last winter and spring was
the most rainy season for a great number
of years, the condition of the roads must
consequently be worse than usual.
There never has been any good syste m
of road making or road-mendlng in this
county. In the first place the appoint
ment OF Supervisors is made IN bad
time. The Supervisor receives his war
rant about the commencement OF harvest,
and he cannot attend to the road until
harvest is over; so the mending is put off
until tall, when the loose earth thrown
on the road has not time to settle and
become firm before the rains and frosts
set in.
He finds the road IN bad condition
When he commences mending and with
only six or eight dollars TO the mile he
can only touch 1t moderately. When
spring comes the road is scarcely passa-
bic and he has no funds in hand TO repair
it, and none will be appropriated until
the next levy, late in the summer. II
the appointment were made early in the
spring, the chance for having a good load
would be greatly increased. A very
important tool in road mending, is large
strong plough, made for that purpose,
and one would, by little arrangement
answer tor NUMBER of roads, and should
be provided by the county, for it IS not
to be Supposed that a supervisor for the
prtance he receives and the uncertainty
of his continuance, could afford to fur
nish such plough at his own expense.
1.-THE roads were repaired in the spring
by being ploughed down on the sides
and raised in the middle. they wolld be-
come solid through the summer, and
would not be affected by the late rains
and frosts, as roads are, that are repaired
in the tall.
