VIOLATIONS OF THE OYSTER LAW The oyster
revenue steamer Kent Com. Hunter Davidson: of
the State oyster police force arrived at Crsfeld.
on the 23d Instant, having been quite active dur
ing her late cruise. On the 21st five vessels from
Somerset county were captured for dredging for
oysters in Fishing Bay, Dorchester county. They
were taken before Justice RIP. Cannon, for trial,
and disposed of as follows: Soop Joseph Haz-
zard, Capt. Disharon; schooner Wren, Captain
John II. White ; sloop Emily, Capt. II. 8. Web
were each fined 800 ard costs. The sloop Cen
eral Major, Captain Shore, being charged addi-
tionaly with fleeing to avoid arrest,and also with
being in the employ OF an owner and captain,
neither of whom were licensed according to law,
is held for trial next week, and IL is supposed she
will be heavily fined, or Judgment Of condem-
nation rendered in her case. It is said that the
oyster boundary line inst below Crisfeld, as be-
tween Maryland and Virginia oystermen, works
well and to the satisfaction OF oil parties, and all
concerned appear TO render cheerful compliance

WIGwAM OF THE RED MEN.-.We visited, re-
Gently, the wigwam of the Improved Order Of
Red Men. in Richardson ~ Hopes new building,
and found il one of the most beautiful lodge
rooms we ever saw. II the unialproced red men
had had such we should not wonder at the poet
signing "Oh, fer lodge in some vast wilder
ness" though judging from the implements OF
war we saw hanging around the walls he would
scarcely have found the freedom from strife and
war he sought, The furnitu is luxurious and
comfortable, and includes fine toned cottage
organ. Hanging ar und the walls are real Indian
trop lies. consisting of implements Of war and
peace, from the tomahawk with which the red
skin smashed his enemy's head, down to the pipe
which he smoked in peacc with his friend.-
Amongst the trophies Of the chase are beautiful
antelope, deer and an immense black bear. The
regalia OF the order is beautiful and is richly or
pamented showing that the tribes lack not the
wampun SO necessary to success.
Tie order is quite successful In this State, and
numbers amongst ils members many of our
prominent citizens. There are three tribes in
this city. the Lrnapl, the Delaware and the keo-
kuk and the Cherokee Tribe which has been al
lowed to go down is now about to be revived
Hon. Joshua Maris, of this city Is the head OF
the order In the United States.

posed exclusively of women, the Daughters of

The s.IIorsc Shoe"

From Philadelphia Pres, Jaa. so,l
If the port of Philadelphia is TO be tilly
prepared for the great future which Nature
and the fortunate conjunction Of the line OF
business have thurst upon it, not only must
our wharyes be built and our railways con-
cenlrated, but our waters must he made sale
so that the ships Of hundred flags may ride
or rest in them free from uncaslness or
alarm.
Most of the citizens of Philadelphia are
fa niliar with the names, at least, OF the
"Hurse Shoe" and the 'Horse Shoe shoals, "
in the Delaware river.
The I5oaid of Trade, Commercial Exchange
and a few individuals familiar with the river,
know their injurious effects upon navigation
in winter and realize the Importance of ap-
plying remedy.
The Horse Shoe is large cove or bay al
the mouth of Timber creek, between Red
Bank and Gloucester Point. The location
being at u bend in the river, the channel ne
cessarily tends to the periphery of the cir
Gle, causing constant securing and cutting
into the banks of the river on the New Jer-
sey shore.
Among the immediate effects are the fol-
lowing:
AS the channel cuts into tho Jersey shore,
the distance for vessels is constantly increas-
cular motion given to the water in passing
the bend is continued, and the river being
very wide at that point, allows an eddy and
slack water on the Pennsylvania shore,
where all the material secured from the
river banks and held in suspension is denos-
iied forming the wcllknown Horse Shoe
shoals. In winter the cbb tide sets the Ice
into the bend, and when broken up by the
ice boats, II merely swings around the circle
to be deposited on the shoals and complete
the blockade.
The cause and effect being well understood
II remedy should he sought, and it does not
seem to require very high order of engi-
neeiing skill to suggest an eileetual one.
The remedy that most naturally presents
itself to II practical mind is to conduct the
clsannel of the river to the shortest line be.
tween the two points ofthe bend, aud Keep
ii there by narrowing the stream to the re
quiremrnts for the direct passage of the
water, allowing no room for eddes or de.
posts The details can only be determined
upon by careful survey, which should a
once be made made Who shall take The
| iuiiiaory steps to remove the obstruction!
