Commissioners have issued their annual
warning to owners of canine flesh that all
dogs found going at large in the streets after
to-day (the 2oth) will be shot by the Bailiff
1t is hoped this will be carried out to the
letter. Heretofore those who set high value
upon their dogs have kept them muzzled for
day or two, when seeing that the "common
ours" went without muzzles and were not
molested, they-removed the muzzles from
their dogs, and there the matter ended
Perhaps, one or two blind and lame old
dogs were coaxcd out to the creek and very
privately shot. But it is stated most posi-
lively now that the law will be strictly en-.
forced. We shall see.

Then principal merchants of Elkton have
signed petition to close their stores at s

next. A petition of similar kind was signed
by them about a year since, and was pretty
generally observed for several months, but
it eventually fell through, altogether. We
hope this system will continue "henceforth

closed at this hour on Saturday evenings
The Court House bell will be rung each
