Remedy for HO. Cholera.

This county and the country at large
will hail with delight the announcement
that cure has been discovered for hog
cholera The chief of the bureau of ami
NAL industry, Dr. ID. F. Salmon, has sub
mitted to Secretary Wilson report upon
experiments in the treatment of hogs for
hog cholera with anti toxine serum. This
serum is made upon the same principle as
the anti-toxine of diptheria 1t was first
tested upon small animals in the labora-
tory and, being found efficacous. was last
tested in Page county, Iowa, on several
herds of swine, containing altogether 21S
| which definite returns as to cause of death
could not be obtained, only 30 died out OF
pa animals treated, of which IS were
sick. Consequently s2S per cent. of the
untreated herds kept under observation
during the period referred to about 81 pei
cent of the animals died. Dr. Salmon
! believes that, with experience, Il better
quality of serum can be prepared, and 1t
has no doubt that this percentage can be
maintained hereafter. Referring to thi!
report, Secretary Wilson said the cost O
the serum now is but 10 cents per head o
animals treated, only one dose being re
quired, and doubtless in course of time
this light cost may be still further re

An Interesting Case.

The case of the children of Cooking
who was taken from the custody of the
sheriff of Charles county by "a mob, and
hinged, suit for damages against Sheriff
George W Wade and his bondsmen, was
heard Tuesday in the Court of Appeals
1t came up as a demurrer to the suit for
negligence in not preventing the murder
of the father Of the compliments, confined
in Jail for the murder of their mother and
aunt The sheriff claims that the declara-
ton is faulty in that it contains mo cause
of action emitting the plaintiffs to recover
against the sheriff and his sureties within
the condition of his official bond accord
ing to the laws of the state of Maryland"
The defendant holds that no case can be
fund where sheriff was responsible to
the prisoners family for his safe keeping.
The sheriff is only responsible to the party
Somr Ii old slave times the sheriff
Irresponsible for slaves escaping by
neglect, ~..e,f masters had a property

that 'if the sheriff's negligence caused
Cockings death, he is personally liable to
the state, and there his liability ends.
The declaration also omits to state what
damage was done the children, and while
probably there was damage in the death
of the father, it should have been stated

The Proposed New Road Law.

| Hon. Robinson White has written a let
| ter to the Gazette in reference to his pro-
posed Road law in which he says:
"All will agree that we are in sore need
of better roads, and that we should by
taking as far as possible the road question
out of politics, adopt system practical
in its results. By letting the work to the
lowest responsible bidder who is required
in the performance of the work let to con-
form strictly to written specifications,
(open to the inspection of the public) and
requiring as necessary condition to all
payments for work done, the sworn state
ment of the supervisor, a bonded officer,
that the work has been done according to
these specifications, which would make it
impossible that the work to be sighted and
| the public be imposed on. Any departure
from these written requirements will be
instantly detected, and from commits
sioners to contractors, the whole work OF
road repairs and Improvements will be
open and subject to that public watchfu!-
ness and scrutiny so necessary where the
use of public money is involved.
For the information of those who may
not be familiar with our road law in all
It's details, l desire to say that the pro-
visions permitting the county commits
sioners, on the written request of thirty
land owners in any one district, to levy
a special tax of ten cents on each 500
value of assessable property, as a special
fund for use in that particular district,
when such levy is made, that it is simplya
re enactment of the now existing law. Its
purpose, as I understand it, is to enable
the people in any one district, should the
contingency arise, to make within their
district, such additional repairs and i'm
provements as they may desire. 1t should
be, and believe, is resorted to only when
urgent necessity requires.
To meet the views, however, of my
colleagues on the inexpediency of reenact-
ing this provision, have consented that
the old law be repealed and its provisions
stricken by amendment from the bill.
The provisions requiring that certain
portion of the money levied each year for
road purposes, should be used in placing
gravel or other suitable material on the
road bed, is inserted, that we may begin
system of permanent improvement, that
will in time result in securing for our
county. good, hard substantial roads.
The supervisor, one for each district, is
required to give $500 bond, and is paid
such per diem for days he may be actually
engaged in road supervision as the Com
missioners may prescribe.

ton but that he will step at once in the
