we have decrease of La, ,093 in num-

DOGS AND sHEEP-KILLING.
The assessors report 1884, 1896 dogs in
the State; sheep killed by dogs, IS, 440,
valued at S1l0,043 75; and 30, ,035 sheep
injured by dogs to the amount of S46,-
434 so; aggregate of the loss, $780,
31S %.
The greatest amount of loss from
dogs is not in the counties i'm which
they are most numerous, for in those
counties but few sheep are kept, and it
may be added that the amount of loss
depends also ON the nature and train
ing of the dogs. 1t is regretted, says
the Secretary, that the canine credits
in this profit and loss account cannot
also be given, so that it might be
known on which side of the account
the balance belongs.

Monthly Exercises in the Lower Girls
High School.

A representative OF the REPUBLICAN found
his way into the Lower Girls High School,
Yesterday, just in time to hear the literary
exercises usually incident to the last of the
month, but in this case postponed. The
programme was arranged with care and in
good taste, and comprised. recitations, com
positions and music. The young ladies have
an official musical director, but for some
reason or other she was not present. So
the pupils were compelled to furnish their
own instrumental accompaniment Among
the pieces noticeable for excellence, either
in conception or execution. we're com
position, "Scenes of 1885," not entirely
original in design, perhaps, but scarcely
the worse for that by Miss Dreyfus; "Tho
Toast Ia recitationl, by Miss Moss; "Zeno-
bia,' by Miss c. Davis; THE Burial of
Dundee" by Miss Hart, and Boys" by
Miss f. Burton. The two young ladies
last named are most excellent readers,
whom it is positive pleasure to hear.
A very laughable dialogue in French,
La Vieile Cousine DIAL" by four or
i've of the iuniors. and another in
English, Aunt Betsey," by other members
of the same class taxed the risibles con-
eiderably. Both pieces are amusing, and
were very well done. Readings from the
Wreath were also given, some ideas in which
are well worth the at ttsntion of the directors,
especially the appeal for a new schoolhouse.
The one now occupied is not adapted for
the purposes OF a High School, as it lacks
that essential requisite-an assembly room.
There is no room for guests on occasions
when there are general exercises. This is
great privation, as the young ladies like to
invite their mothers and friends. and the
latter are fond Of atten ling when such
thing is feasible. Give the young ladies of
this school better house, Messieurs Direc-
tore, or perhaps we shall call for Lafayette
square mass meeting.
The teachers are Miss Isabelle Simmons,
principal; Mis-. ID. r. Miller, professor of
exact sciences: Miss c. Hubbard, professor
of rhetoric and composition; Miss Julia
Kendall, professor OF history and literature;
Miss NJ. A. B. Grower, professor of mathe-
matics, and Mise L. Riquet, French teacher.

Extricatiou of Nlorgan,s Dredging Fleet.

The Houston Telegraph of November 10
has an excellent account of the removal of
Morgan's fleet from the high and dry posi-
tion in which the gale of September lett
it, to free water. At that time the tide at
Morgan Is point was eleven feet above the
usual mark, and the gale carried the waves
several feet higher. Three dredgeboats,
two dump flats and two barges were driven
from their anchorage and DYER the point, a
distance of about 1000 feet, bringing up
against the elope OF the hill fronting the
San Jacinto river to the westward of the
Ship Channel canal, and settled nine to
eleven feet above average tide. The
furthest boat was 1850 feet and the nearest
500 feet from San Jacinto river.
The construction OF series of three
basins from 300 to 100 feet long, was deter
mined on and levee bank constructed on
the lower side of tho boats, ten feet above
the surface level of the point. A ten inch
drainage pump and engine was carried
through 400 feet OF newly made channel
within 300 feet of the proposed exit, A
ditch was dug with q fall of four inches to
100 feet. The nearer basin was filled and
the dredgcboat used to deepen it, the levees
being strengthened by the excavations
The same was successfully done with two
others, and then all hoats were atlOat and
moved down TO tho advance dredge.
The boats now all being in line, the levee
was cut above them and the fleet lowered
to the level Of the bay. The advance dredge
Was then set to work excava,ing the canal
into the San Jacnto river, distance of i5O
feet, the rest of the boats following in her
wake, and the pump still maintaining a
supply of water.
lu order to have the benefit of average
tide, Il dam was thrown across the mouth
of the channel dug from the channel of the
San Jacinto river into shore, thus guarding
against tho effect of sudden low tides, and
enabling the required depth of water to be
maintained.
The land canal being completed, the boats
were floated to the dam, and that being cut
the boats we're ready for service.
The work has been under the charge OF
Captain Atkinson, superintendent of Nor
gln's Ship Canal Construction, aided by the
suggestions of Captain Abram Cross civil
engineer, and inspecting engineer of the
whole work occupied about thirty days.

The Election in Maryland.

"La JOlie parfumeuse," played for the first

the role of Rose Michon, which is well suited
to her style of acting, and Milo. Nardynn
played the opposite male part Brarolet,
which was a remarkably neat personation.
MN. De Quercy and Duplan also had good
comedy parts. The opera is bright and
sparkling with lively dialogue and nj usical
gems. and quite as broad in action and
naughtiness as anything which has been
given nera in the opera bouffe liae. 1t is
an opera which pleases rs a whole, and
yet there are in it no decided airs
likely to live in memory, or be sung
away fom the theatre. 1t is a py-
ramid of swe. tness, but not q bou-
quet of gathered flowers from which YOU
can pluck ID rose. The dancing chorus
and sudden tableaux al the end of the
second act is very effective, and the
duet in the second is made so by the snowy
aotngot Miles, Geotfcoy and Nardynn. The
music and the comedy are in keeping
throughout; choruses fill the weak places,
and pretty airs aeon the sketch. Tho
