Commander Seth, of the Maryland
State Fishery Police, has been making
an investigation with a view to learn
ing the cause of the scarcity of oysters
this season in the Chesapeake. He now
attributes it to the non-observance of
the culling law. In several cargoes,
examined on their arrival at Baltimore.
fully one-fourth of each cargoe was
found to be shells, and the officials
think that for every oyster shucked
three young oysters are killed. Dredg.
ers in hauling up oysters have been for
gears wilfully neglecting to knock of
The understood oysters clinging to
Ne shells of the developed ones.
General Seth said: "The present
output is from eight to ten millions Of
bushels per year. If ten per cent. Of
tBe oysters taken are under size and
aaall enough to be wasted, this would
amount in round figures to one million
6pshels, and . years growth would
Sdd to their size sufficiently to increase
that million to five millions for next
season. The sentiment of the packers
Was that have underestimated the
amount of increase, and that it would
Be nearer eight millions than five.
With 1000 boats engaged in dredging,
and 1000 more in scraping, and from
5000 to 5000 longing, it is impossible
Tor the few boats Of the oyster navy to
ttrictly enforce compliance with the
lAw."

The Bitter-Sweet Vine.

The bitter-sweet vine is strong grow.
ing vine, scrambling over trees and
fences, with dark green and abundant
foliage. The clustered berries, which
are bright yellow outwardly, are round
and smooth at first, then the shell opens
in three pieces and turns back. showing
the scarlet seeds; and now, brighter than
before, they light up the stumps, fences
and the scraggy trees along the roadside
for nearly all of the winter. Not many
woody vines are to be preferred to the
bitter-sweet; its growth is rapid and its
shade is deep. The berries retain form
and color indoors when perfectly dry

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.

Cussou anu peTSlSleDNly prOpOeou
reciprocity treaty. Canadian John
wants to build treaty to suit himself.
A treaty that will flood the United
States with Canadian wheat, and
Canadian oats, and Canadian barley,
woods, and other products for which
she can find no market at home. To Off
set this Canada could give the United
States no market for her manufac-
tured goods, and there is no COM
merciaI benefit to be derived by this
country from any such measure.
Some idea of the situation can be
CLEANED from the speeches reported,
and the answers given to GER
tain questions that have been pro
pounded. Great Britain, it Is stated
in these speeches and answers, is
not averse to this reciprocity
scheme. The capitalists of the
mother country have now
invested in Canada the very respect
able sum of eight hundred millions of
money and they would prefer the IN
terest on this amount to any benefits
the meagre trade of Canada would
bring them. This is a nice argumen
to induce Americans to open q mar
ket to Canadian products. The fact
is Canada, is bankrupt. She cam OF
pay the interest that her trades
people and farmers owe to Englis h |
capital, and this whole movement is a
scheme to dump Canadian farm and
forest products INTO the lap of the
United States, Cutting our markets
and reducing prices, merely to open a |
mart for Canadian grain and timber |
that the impoverished Canadian may |
pay interest to his English money |
lender. American statesmen want to |
GO slow about this matter. II they |
pull John Bulls chestnuts out of that |
Canadian fire in this way they will |
burn their fingers. Run over the cat

had products unlike our own,
or opened to US a mar
ket for manufactured goods |
it would be very different, and there
might be some sense in dema nding |
reciprocal trade relations. The condi- |
tons are the very reverse of those
which exist as between the United |
States and Mexico and the South |
Americas. The name reciprocity"
means mutually. There is nothing |
mutual In this, and the republic owes
nothing to this first born child of
monarchy. Canadian John is a |
slick one. He is as smooth as oil, |
as soft as lard, as slick as
grease, as plausible as Lucifer, as full |
of twists and turns as Virginia rail |
fence. New York merchants know |
that the sharpest buyers in the mar
ket are these same Canadians, and |
our statesmen will find them keen as |
briars and as wide awake as hun
CRY owl In the vicinity of q chicken |
roost. The less Uncle Sam has to do |
with Canadian reciprocity, the better
off will he be.

Return of Hunters,

We stated on Wednesday that Rich
ard Cavanaugh and Edward Babey. of
Rising Sun, designed going to Centre
Vile tho following day on a cunning
expedition. Well, they went, and their
success was unparalleled In bagging
game. They secured more rabbits
than they were able to bring home, and
they were obliged, very reluctantly,
to sell about ton, at very low prices.
Many of the rabbits had got an inkling
the neighborhood of Centreville, and
they tumbled to the situation by tumb-
ling right at the feet OF the sportsmen,
and of course they were picked up
and taken care of. Even a few birds
heard of the arrival OF Messrs. Cava-
naugh and Babey, and fluttered right
down close by them, and thus saved
the necessity Of using powder and shot.
