The depredtti tians Of curs upon sheep >tiil
continue. In PomCnhey last week DR.. ). ".
Thomas had 6 fine ewes and : lambs destroyed
by dogs, and his son Ir. Arthur ". Thomas
had fine young ewes With their lambs Killed
and others seriously Injured. There is a general
and very decided feeling in different sections
of be county favorable 10 the enactment of an
efficient dog law at the present SESSION OF IT.;
Legislature. The bill We published Two v eek
ago has been extensively discussed and there
appears TO lie considerable diversity OF opinion
as to its merits Most OF the objections v t have
heard 10 the till have been founded upon a
nisconception Of lis proposed provisions.
\ gentleman who is very competent judge
IN such matters and for whose opinion We
have the highest respect. informed US on Tues
day that he considered il "a law tor the pro
lection OF worthless ours aud not Of sheep,
and directed us to read it again This we have
done very carefully and, though it may be due
to our CbtuseLess VT fail 10 see the force OF his
criticism HIS idea was that b, assessing dogs
property, and making persons who hi led
them responsible in damages, the dogs OF IT
responsible persons, who own hss than 500
worth of property, would be exempt from
taxation; and they " ould at the same time be en-
auled to recover S25 damages from any one who
:. Kill their dogs. We DO not see wherein
the dill Is open 70 -tkis objection. In the frs
place it provides that all dogs shall be conclu
sively pres umed TO be the property of the person
III whose name the premises they frequent i!
their home is assessed and, MS such, assessed tC
such person at a .ue OF S25 each with liberty
10 him 10 reduce such assessment by provn,
within a prescribed time that any Of the dog
50 assessed had been destroyed. Under thi
pro vi>iC n, every yreehcider even the mos
humble, must tie :e,umed 10 own property
Mllicl. with S25 added for one dog, wou.(
amount 10 over SlOO, il seems evident that IL
dogs Vol d escape taxation under this Jaw, j
properly administered and that some respon
siae person would lee ma De liable for all dam
age that might te done hy dogs. Secondly
the bill expressly provides that no one shall l.
liable for killing dogs V hiie attempting tt
destroy stock poultry, or in self defense.
While we think that ii law similar 10 IT,

Reorganiz tion Of the Force. Senator
Wells has introduced a bill in tlIe State Senate
providing for the reorganization of the State
Fishcry Force The act provides, for the more
Efficient working OF the force, the waters Of
this State shall be divided into seven districts,
of " hich the waters 0 Kent and Queen Anne :
C ,unties shall lie the first: the waters Of Queen
Anne and Tall OF the second the waters of

The Late Judge Brent.

A graceful act was that Of Senator AllSton
on Thursday last when he presented in the Mary
land Senate the petition of the widow of the
late Judge Brent, asking for the balance of the
salary which would have been due the judg
at 1he end Of his term. Judge Brent was elect
ted November, 1867, for Is years, and his term
would have expired November, 1882 lie died
January 6, 1881, one year and ten months be-
tore his term expired The amount Of money
due would therefore, be about Sc 500.
The above we clip from the Marlboro Goz-
ette of Wednesday, The same paragraph in
substance was contained in the Annapolis cor
reSpondcnce of the Baltimore San. We wish
to say tha; no petition was presented by Judge
Brenls widow for the simple reason that he
left no iGow, his wife having died three
years before he did Nor was any petition
esented toy the family or any member of it.
Nor Was any member of it consulted 10y any
one in relation to the matter. The first they
knew OF it was when they read the report OF
Senator AllSton'S action in asking leave TO
Introduce bill. Col. ANSton SAYS, SO wearei in
formed he acted without consultation with any
one wha ever, but alone and upon the prompt
lngS OF his own heart, to show his respect Tor
the deceased and his appreciation of the labori-
Gus and couS ScientiouS manner in which he dis
charged his public duties even to the peril Of
his life. Whilst deeply arpleciating Colonel
AliSton'S motives aud action it is net desirable
that the facts should be miSrepreseAted Mary
land IndfPc"dem.
In the Senate on Wednesday, the bill above
referred to came mp for consideration, and Mr.,
Allstou read a letter from Mr. VIM NJ Brent
10 him>eif pronouncing the statement that the
family did not approve of his action as made
without authority, and stating that they would
regard it grateful testimonial to the mem
DRY Of the deceased father The bill was then
passed by the Senate We hope it viii be also
be passed by The House, and be ratified 10y the
Governor.
