The MOckins Bird.

The following communication is worthy
the attention of the public. Of all the
feathered songsters the hooking bird is
by long odds the finest, and we would be
glad to see some action taken to prevent
their rapid destruction.
CAPT. E. WELLs:- can't think the people of
Southern Maryland are aware of the wholesale
destruction in the past few years of the mock
ing bird. My attention was attracted some
two years since by the scarcity in my own
neighborhood and around my own homestead.
When boy some twenty-fiv years ago, it was
vocal with the music of these birds About
the same time, TT p from Baltimore up the
Potomac, | counted from seventy-iive to one
hundred young birds which had been taken on
board from Piney Point to Pope's Creek to he
sent to the Washington market Since that
time the drain has continued, both by boat
and railroad, until now we hear their beautiful
sounds no more. | have known in times past
when they were common as any bird native
10 our country. Their favorite resort in rear
ing their young was amid the roses and shrub
cry OF our yards and gardens. Then they
cheered the wearied agrculturist at early
dawn and 1T the midnight hour with their
beautiful sounds: not to speak of them as an
exterminator of the insect SO rapidly on the in
crease, deyouring vegetation. Can it not be
stopped ere it be TOO late and not one left 10
mind us they ever existed? | hope so. | un-
derstand that Virginia has enacted law for
their protection, which affords the desired re-
lief, subjecting any offender to arrest by any
one who may catch him violating the statute.
| would have our Legislature enact IL law im-
posing heavy fine, or make it penal oftense
to catch, sell or in any way modest this useful
bird. hope Others who may feel interested
will take up and insist upon our. legislators
enacting such a law at the next session as will
afford the desired protection and relief.

The Weather.

Tins Well-worn subject has come in for
more than It's usaal share of discussion
within the last week. FrcSa>a long and
severe drought, we have been p>sueed
into an unusual season of rain for thfs
time of the year. Some of our farmers
who have been very jubilant over the re-
treshing rains are beginning now to put
on long faces. and ominously talk about
injury to the wheat in the shock and to
the growing tobacco, if this weather con-
tinues. We have certainly had most
copious showers and a quantity of them,
but thus far in this neighborhood no more
than was seasonable. Indeed the streams
scarcely show Il perceptable increase in
volume. In some parts of the county,
notably in Pickawaxen, some damage has
already been done to wheat and oats which
were in the field, but we believe the in
jury is limited in extent. If the rain
should now hold up and the weather be-
come warm we would have the best sea
son for tobacco which has been seen fol
very many years.

liable breed. Every farme: knows that,
barring the risk Of the dogs, there is no
more profitable crop to raise than sheep.

man, who two or three years ago purchas-
ed Rosemary Lawn of the Hon. Barnes

the old country Mr.. Bows was an extern

from his knowledge of their great value,

climate. The lambs to be sold were rails
ed by him and are therefore acclimated.
