The "Blue Laws" of 1866.


At the suggestion of the grand jury the marshal
of police has notified his subordinates that and
after Sunday, the 18th instant, the stringent law
passed by the Legislature of 1866, defining what
may and what may not be done on Sun day, shall
be rigidly enforced. Accordingly, persons in the
city found selling, disposing of, bartering, or, if
dealer, giving away any tobacco, cigars, candy,
soda or mineral water, spirituous or fermented
liquors, cordials, beer, wine, cider, or any other
GOODS ,cares or merchandise ,chdeuer, will be liza
BILE to indictment, and conviction to fines rang
ing from 500 to $50. No one can buy box of
pills, vial of paregoric or other simple remedy
familiar to the public without the trouble, delay
and expense of obtaining prescription from a
physician, unless the druggist to whom he applies
in the emergency happens to be sufficiently heroic
to pay $40 fine to save life or relieve pain. Nor
may the valetudinarian who resorts on Sunday
mornings, as on other mornings, to the dealer in
mineral waters for his customary draught obtain
what his health requires without the trouble and
expense of a prescription. The inconvenience
has wide scope, as no merchandise whatever may
be sold on Sunday under the "Blue Law" OF 1856
The rigid enforcement Of statnte which mas
fallen into "innocuous desuetude" sometimes has
the effect of making the law ridiculous, but not
always to the general satisfaction. IT, for instance
the public, in return for the inconvenience to
which it is proposed to unnecessarily put 1t, may
see fit to induce the next Legislature to make the
Sunday closing law more stringent upon the bar
rooms than ever, while repeating the absurd res
friction of the statute, the effect might not be SO
amusing to gentlemen who can't get along without
their Sunday refreshments. These restrictions
were added, it is said to the bill when under dis
cussion in the Legislature with the view of
"..oL;ns it riaiouoas" ana Killing it, but without
that effect Their enforcement is likely to
prove boomerang to somebody.

Tolline for Ducks. THE Baltim

Tolling for Ducks. The Baltimore San of
recent date has an interesting article on duck
shooting on Maryland waters, from which we ex
tract the following paragraph: "Toling is a plan
in which the amount of game secured far exceeds
the sport. For tolling shore blind, consisting
of row of bushes planted about ten feet from the
waters edge, good dog, and some big guns, with
large charg of shot, about all that is neces-
sary. When the ducks bed in proximity to a
tolling blind the parties who are going to shoot
take up their position behind the blind. small,
playful Chesapeake or other dog that has been
chained up is let looose between the blind and the
vater A corn cob is tossed to him, which he re-
thieves, and just as he gets to the front of the
blind another is tossed, and he is kept playing
around until he has attracted the attention of the
ducks. They soon grow interested in the ma
MOWERS of the dog and begin gradually to ap
proach the shore. Their curiosity increases, and
they will approach to within few feet of shore.
Then the party who is working the dog, if he un-
derstands his business, has them at his CONTROL
By manipulating the dog, and playing him first
up beyond the blind and then down, he can so
maneuver the ducks, which are swimming up and
rectly in front of the shooters in solid body At
a given signal the party, usually numbering fnOm
three to six men, shoot the ducks in the water,
often bagging from twenty five to seventy five
ducks at round. The ducks are shot in the
head and neck. The curiosity of ducks is great,
and the proportionate amount possessed by the
female over the male is as usual with the sex gen
orally. Out of a toll made on the Gunpowder
river last season 81 per cent. of the killed ducks
were females"

that the Scat got the best of the transaction be-

"The Danger of Keeping Pigs and Other
Animals Near Human HabitationS. On
this subject c. w. Chancellor, M. D., secretary
and executive officer of the State Board of HEALTH
in his very able and instructive report to the
Board, says:
sit is not necessary to say much in demonstra-
ton of the nuisance arising from the keeping of
hogs and other animals in town or village
The reports of health officers in all parts of the
country abound in illustration of it, yet it is a
matter of fact that animals, especially pigs, are
habituay kept in the midst of populous towns
and villages in most uncleanly and uhwhole
some manner. Health officers would cut the knot
of the difficulty by altogether forbidding the keep
ing of pigs within the precincts of any city, town
or village, if they had the power. But is is not
solely amid aggregations of population that such
nuisances are occasioned. single animal badly
kept in or near a solitary house may be source
of injury to the inhabitants of that house.
"The offensive odor from ill-kept and ill-man-
aged pig styes will travel with the wind consid
cradle distances, and they should not be permit
ted within defined limit of inhabited dwellings
either in town or country. The nuisance has its
ia tho usually nitiy aiti---of the tJee
themselves. in the accumulation of n, altar otten
in fermenting condition, and IN the storage ana
subsequent preparation of the food. The swill
tub in most towns and villages is an institution,
and throughout the year, during hot as we'll as
cold weather, the process of filling 1t goes on.
"Uncean!iness is properly reckoned as the
deadliest of our present removable causes OF dis
