A strange animal was killed in Washington
County, Md, on Sunday last. The Clearspring
Wing says that, as Mr.. Isaac Hulbird, residing
on the North Mountain, few miles from Clear
spring, was passing with his dogs near the
stony Cabin, his attention was drawn, by the
barking Of the dogs, to an old tree short dis
lance from the road, on which was large wild
beast, the like Of which has never before been
seen on the mountains. After hard Tough,
battle, it was captured and killed. 1t measured
three feet in length, and two in height: had a
very short tail, feet like those of dog, and the
hair on its back was red. 1t made an attempt
TO escape, BY running or climbing. After the
dogs had killed it, they started off in pursuit of
another, which they also caught and killed, and
went alter the third : but Mr.. Holbrd, seeing
that it was near night, called them off II Is
said there are several of those animals yet in
the mountains.

Ano 80" SO0o ana Its U1sx1cuIttc0s
Quite an agitation has been gotten up by
number Of the papers throughout the State, re
klative to the precise time when it was intended
that the New Code should 70 into oasfaii0n
The epportQnitx hsk-Oeen embraced by some.
LOST favorable for the retailing of tissue Of
abuse against the Code, as silly az it is unmer-
tied. No one will pretend that the statute is
perfect throughout all its parts; for if it were
1t would be more than human production. But
to condemn it without giving 1t trial, is like
condemning criminal without hearing. There
is no way by which we can so eifectual!y ap
preciate the virtues, and detect the defects Of
the Code, Is by the results Of its practical opcr.
atoms. If this provision, or that, operate with
sluggishness or inetficiency, the remedy will
suggest itself without the aid OF that superior
enlightenment claimed by some of our cotem-
poraries. and certainly with greater precision.
II we undertake to undo the Code, without
what guarantee have We that nything we may.
adopt to replace it will be any better, None
unless We assume the position, that its trainers
were an assembly Of mules, utterly destitute of
common sense, as well as the susceptibility of,
its impressions or influence. This we would
regard rather bold assumption, and one
which a-rogates to itself a superiority which
might be justly questioned; for there is no Just
reason to presume, that the people now are any
wiser than they were at the time when they
selected their delegates to the General Assem-
should be, that was designed to constitute the
rule Of this State. And be this as ii
may, instead Of general thrusts at the made
quacy OF this general compilation Of laws, let
ito revilers single out its defects, and sugges,
the remedy, or substitute, and then the people
will be able to Judge for themselves, as to the
correctness Of The hue and cry that has been
raised and circulated against it For our own
part, we can see no reason why the Code should |
be condemned; but on the contrary, there are |
many aud cogont reasons TO be advanced in |
Is support. We shall contrni ourselves with |
,ne or two reasons, for the present; the first of |
which is, the abrogaiop of all the legal forms
