THE DUCK LAW.

We understand that All effort is about
being made by some parties who can't brook
restraint of law in the pursuit of their
pleasures or desire for gain, to have the
present ducling law which applies to the
Havre de Grace flats repealed. The law
places wholesome restraint on the license
to relentlessly pursue and slaughter the
wild fowl both by night and day. The
police provided to arrest these night PROV
lers is the obnoxious feature of the law,
the repeal of which is desired. In place
of repeating any protecting clause in the
duck law, or any laws for the prote ction
of birds and fish, other and more restrain
ing clauses should be added. The war
made on ducks even under the law as at
present is fast driving them from their
Feeding grounds. We are assured on good
authority that the duckers, who depend
upon the business for a living, have scarce
ly cleared expenses this season, notwith-
standing 1T has been SO open and favora-
BILE. In a few years, even with the present
license allowed, the ducks will be driven
from the head waters of the Chesapeake
The sink box business should be utterly
abolished and the night shooting punished
by severe penalties. If the birds are con-
stantly annoyed on their feeding grounds,
they will inevitably seek safety further
south where the boss and inets are not
beset with SO many enemies. We trust
the Legislature will turn a deaf ear to all
arguments for repeating the law. or any
part of it, but rather strengthen and D. O.
vide further legislation for the protection
of the feathered tribes of both land and
water,

THE CATHOLIC SCHOOL AGAIN.

Mr.. EDIToR.-DtGr .Sir:-Upon making
some inquiry since preparing matter for
Educational Column, | have learned that
your itemiZer I" b " was evidently misin-
formed in regard to the size of the Catholic
School, when he stated that the attendance
had reached 90 and was increasing. 1t is
stated upon reliable authority that the
actual attendance has never exceeded CO.,
and most probably never averaged above
half that number. l think for the credit
of the community you should give place to
this or some other correction. J. L. II.
Oar correspondent is under mistake in
attri5uting the local notice of the Catholic
School to "B." We had the best and
most reliable authority for stating that the
school numbers 90 scholars, and are assur-
ed that our statement was and is entirely
correct.
The Cecil Whig., 1874-01-31
ANNAPOLIS.

Petitions in favor of local option still
continue to pour into the LEGISLATURE
They are referred in the House to the
special committee on that subject, of which
Mr.. Seth is chairman. The appointment
OF special committee to consider this
subject is step forward for the friends of
local option. In times past petitions on
the subject Of general temperance legsla-
ton were referred to the committees on
finance, and there the matter died. Now
and then special law for Il certain dis
trict or locality was passed, but no general
law to suppress the use of Intoxicating
liquors, it appears, has ever passed the
General Assembly of Maryland.
Baltimore Sun.
A stringent Local Option bill has been
prepared by Mr. Seth, to be introduced into
the House.
A bill has been presented to the Legisla-
ture by the Fruit Packers of Baltimore,
for regulating the size of boxes and baskets
in which fruit of various kinds are sold.
The boxes in which peaches, pears, apples,
&c., are sold shall hold one bushel and if
divided each division shall contain one
half bushel, berry baskets shall contain
one quart, or one pint. When fruit is
offered for sale in baskets the baskets shall
contain one half bushel and the size of
each box, basket, ETC., shall have its
capacity marked upon it. Tomatoes shall
be sold by weight, at the rate of fifty-six
pounds to the bushei. Damsons, plums,
cages and cherries, shall be sold by weight
and no other way. Lima beans also, when
hulled shall be sold by weight, fifty two
pounds to q bushel. We hope this bill
will become law, for as such marketing is
sold at present, gross frauds are practiced
by dishonest dealers.
After the House adjourned on Thursday
the clerk read a call signed by forty four
members of the House and Senate for a
caucus on Friday night to determine the
governorship question, and also a paper
signed by twenty-seven giving notice that
they would not attend nor be bound by
the action Of any caucus unless called in
pursuance OF notice given by the chairman
or other officer of caucus, at the request
OF the majority of the members entitled to
seats III the Democratic caucus. which
notice shall give reasonable time to cunsid
er the subject to be brought before the
caucus.
Two temperance, bills passed their sec
ond reading in the House on Thursday.
One was bill introduced by Mr.. Green
field to prohibit the sale of spirituous or
termented liquors within one mile of Wes-
ley Grove Camp, and the other a local
option bill for Talbot county, introduced
by Mr.. Seth.
