day morning last, at 1870 o'clock, Joseph T..
Bailey, Esq, expired at his residence near
Rockville in the I'D year of his age.
In the demise of this esteemed gentleman
our community has lost an active and exem-
plary citizen-one who, in the public or
private walks of life, became well known
for his unfaltering sense of right and justice
toall. While yet in early life Mr.. b. immi-
grated from New York, his native state, to
Montgomery county, since which time he
has been closely identified with her interests.
In 1865 he was elected as one Of the Board
of County Commissioners and OBLIGATED in
that capacity for two years, and again in
1879 ne was reelected TO the same position,
his term expiring the present month, and
his reelection would have been assured at
the last election, but i'll health and the accu-
mutation Of domestic duties prevented his
acceptance of a nomination. He was an
active and effective worker in the interest Of
the Montgomery County Agricultural So
ciety, and TO his energy and perseverance,
aided by few co workers, may be attributed
whatever of success that Association may
have attained. Shortly after his arrival in
this county he was united in marriage 10

the Montgomery County Grange, No. Z. A
step has been taken in the right direction
and should be followed by all the Oranges

! will further add some authentic facts of
recent date in the vicinity of Gathersburg /:
A few months ago Thomas Gloyd lost
about sheep by dogs, damage S32.
October 2Sth, 1881, Harry ID. Cooke. had
10 valuable sheep killed and wounded by
dogs, damage 500.
These losses are not included in former
general losses by dogs, such as the killing of
about 30 sheep year ago in the vicinity of
Gaithersburg by the celebrated aoitd dog.
The striking facts in the statistics pre-
scented is the greater loss by preventing
sheep raising.
Our Legislature meets this winter and the
Delegates should have the united efforts of
the farmers presented to them, and their
cooperation requested 10 remedy the evil.

Damage to Sheep by Dogs.

Mr. Editor Brighton Grange, No. 60,
one of the subordinate Oranges of Mont
gomery county, in response to the resolu-
ton OF the Montgomery County Grange,
No. Z, has sent me the following statistics
of sheep destroyed by dogs within two years
past:
Isaac Hartshorne has lost z, damage $50 ;
Il. j. Lea lost Z, damage $780, VIM. Griffith
lost Sand Frank Griffith lost 8, damage 1854 !;
G. A. c. Higgins lost 81 out of very fine
Hook Of 30, and he stopped raising sheep,
damage $780, William Bronze, OF J, lost o,
damage $50; VIM. Gatre has had several
focks destroyed and gave up raising sheep
several years ago; John A. Clark is afraid to
raise sheep; Joseph Holland would keep
sheep if it was not for dogs; VIM j. Scofeld
would keep sheep but for dogs.
We presume from the above facts that
$500 would approximate the annual loss
from dogs Ia the sheep interest in this
iochity.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February l6, 1881.
The debate on the River and Harbor bill con-
tinues in the House, and may for length of
time that will make the prospects of an extra
session probable. Public attention is now
being drawn to this bill in such q manner that
the iniquities contained in 1t will be SO fully
exposed that there will probably be some i'm
provement in the manner of legislating for
Rivers and Harbors after this year.
Commodore Oliver Perry Green Watson,
sixty-three years old, six feet high, arrived
here yesterday by way of the chain bridge, all
the way from Ashtabula, Ohio, having, as he
states, left there in November last for Wash
ington, and walked all the way to see President
Hayes, whom he states he met last fall in
Ohio, and received from him an invitation to
visit him and remain until after the Inaugural
tion. He visited the Capitol, Smithsonian and
the Presidents House after he came to town.
He did not see the President but was sent by the
doorkeeper to police headquarters, where he
would be provided with lodgings, etc. He pro-
poses to call on the President, who he thinks
will receive him cordially, having invited him
to Washington. 1t appears that the President
on his recent trip to Ohio, made a speech, in
which he invited his Ashtabula friends, if they
came to Washington, to call and see him, and
that induced Mr.. G. o. P. G. Watson to make
his long trip.
The discussion upon the funding bill COM
menced in the Senate yesterday, and from the
few points now to be settled by discussion it is
the intention to pass it by the end of the week.

cial matters, takes sides with the majority of
them in advocating 81 per cent. fve-twenty
bond.
The death of Hon. Fernando Wood, which
occurred at Hot Springs, Arkansas, on Sunday
night last, cast deep gloom over members of
Congress-. The House and Senate passed ap-
propriate resolutions in respect to his memory,
and the former body, which in his death loses
one of it's ablest members, appointed COM
mittee to superintend the funeral ceremonies.
The remains will be brought ere and will
be in state at the Capitol.
Mr.. Wood was Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee of the House and the value
of his good judgment and wide experience in
financial matters and in the financial history
of the country, will make his death a severe
loss in the deliberations of Congress upon these
matters. The present funding bill is Mr..
Woods latest act of public service. 1t was his
ambition to see it become law, and to secure
this he hastened his death, for until it passed
the House he neglected the entreaties of his
physicians and friends TO retire from active
duty and seek the quiet and rest In the loss of
which the country now suffers greater one.
