Fisheries in MARYLAND.

BY memorial TO be presented to the
General Assembly of this State, in the inter-
est OF the fisheries of this State. it is stated
that there are not less than 1872 fisheries or
locations on It's rivers, which from time to
time have been fishcd but now only one
third of this number are in use, and they
doing II precarious business Besides the
above number, there is room for many more.
The memorial asks for an annual appropria-
tion of $4,000 or $4,000 to aid in cullivating
and fostering this interest, which would in
short time build up the fisheries, and from
the increased valuation of them would more
than pay the State out of the taxes thereon
A law is also suggested forbidding the put
ting Of fish of prey in any of The rivers where
siad and herring are caught, and also to ap-
point commissioners, to serve without
pay.
On tie l1lh ult at Frederick, u meeting
Of Changers was held, when this important
subject was presented in an address by Oil
yer N. Bryan, of Charles county.
The local salt fish trade has for some late
years become very Insignificant The guam
lity of herring and shad packed and for
warded to market appears to grow less each
year; but this hns been accounted for by the
increased facilities which our railroads now
furnish for distributing fresh fish in bulk to
the interior. Sllad and herring are natural
productions of the waters of the Potomac
and Susquehanna, and it would be most i'm
polite TO introduce any other species therein
that in their nature would prey upon them.
We hope nothing of this character has been
done in the effort to improve our fisheries.

The Contract System of Road. Mending.

MIR. EDITOR: The condition of the roads for
some time back demands change in our pres
ent road system; definite time to work the
roads, or n new law entirely. Now, would ap.
peal to our honorable board of County Commits.
sioners TO take into consideration the improve
ment of our public roads, for it is evident to the
most casual observer thatan entire change could
he effected which would be pl "a ,ctive of good
results. My reasons for chai are these:
First, the repairing of II ccrtt road may fall
into the hands OF a man who vi work out his
allowance early in the season, wi rh would be
all right should there come no heavy fall rains
to tear away his Spring work, and demanding
another allowance probably as large as the first
TO make the road passable Secondly, it may fall
into the hands Gas 1t often does,) of one whose
only object is the workinf out of his allow
ance without any regard to the public good. To
come right TO the point, would recommend
the contract system, as adopted in Cecil county,
and which appears to give better roads, and
more satisfaction than they could ever get un-
der.thc old system Though there were some per.
sons opposed to the system, yet the Commits
sioners had the pluck to try the experiment.
Now would advise our honorable board to take
the matter into serious consideration, and act
accordingly. GUsTo.

Docs vs. SnEEP.--A correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial gives statistics show
ing tho enormous number of dogs in that
State, and the annual loss to farmers from
the inability TO raise sheep on TINT account.
He adds:
is not this positively discouraging Can
people, supporting such numbers of nom
producing animals, ever attain wealth? A
sheep is producer; every one is an item
of wealth; every pound of wool sent out of
the State brings cash quickly in return. But
adog produces nothing. He is consumer,
non producer, q tax upon labor, an unmi-
tigated curse, and where they exist in num-
beers. they are sure indication Of the power
ty of the population. On the other hand,
sheep are an emblem of civilization, thrift
wealth. Where you find them in greatest
numbers, you find wealth, industry, comfort,
intelligence, thrift. Where dogs are the
rule and sheep the exception, You find pow
erty, shifilessncss, ignorance"

FRIDAY EVENING, DEC. %, 1876.


DIR. Goldsmith's very able report TO the
Vermont Sportsmen's Association, at It's
last meeting, reviewed the State and condi-
ton OF field sports; their value to the COM
munity, and the relation assumed by the
sportsman to his fellow citizens. The ex-
ertions of that learned gentleman and ac-
compished sportsman havefed to the adop-
ton of law in Vermont, TO which we par
ticultarly invite the Iattention OF our read
ers.
1he farmer and the sportsman are not in
the mutual accord which ought 10 exist be-
tween them. There is nothing antagonistic
between the two. On the contrary, there
should be perfect harmony; the farmer
should be a sportsn an in feeling II not In
practice, and the sportsman should have
hearty sympathy with the farmer as his
best friend. If sportsmen's clubs were
wise they would make the farmers know
and understand that fair sport, and not
trespass or intrusion, is the sportsman's
wish. The Luzerne county, (Pa.) Sports
mems Club have, in this respect, set an
example worthy to be followed. They in
wife farmers into their body; they make
contracts with tenants or tenant-owners for
shooting rights. BY this judicious proceed
ure they secure in the simplest way, the
enforcement of the law. II laudholder
can get rental for shooting or fishing priv
ileges, interest and good fellowship go hand
in hand. He is better protector than any
game constable. He warns off intruders,
acquires sympathy for sport, and is well
coming friend in place of churlish obiec-
tor TO the sportsman. Asa sou:ce of reve-
nue., the shooting privilege might be no in-
considerable item. Throughout Europe,
the United Kingdom, France, Germany,
the rental of game land is very valuable;
sometimes, indeed, more valuable than the
product of the land in any other direction.
We would have our sportsm0n make note
of this.
There are a few sporismen so unreason-
ing in their favorite pursuit, that they claim
a right to tramp their neighbours land when
ever they have occasion. This Is ridicu-
lous. This is to derogate from all the sa-
credness of property. The very word prop
erty "ownness". carries exclusiveness as its
primary condition. 1t is no argument that
harm is not done or intended. The very
tread of stranger on our land, the very
touch by a stranger of our household
goods, is an infraction of property right,
and sentiment is often more important
than substance. Let the farmer only see
that the sportsman asks concession for
which he is willing TO make compensation,
and Ihe work or protection will be half
accomplished. A1erward It will be COM
paratively easy to carry the good work 10
its ompletion.-Rod and Gun.
