Baltimore that the oysters on the dredging
grounds known as the Tea Table, Lumps,
aud Middle Ground, in the upper
Chesapeake bay, are dead, and the once
prolific ground, where thousands OF
bushels Of oysters we're secured, is now
barren waste. A through investigs-
ton of the locality has just been made
by a practical OyEttrman TO find out
what the prospects are for the coming
season. A dredge was thrown over
board about q dozen times at each Of
the places named and only brought up
shells and dead oysters.
1t was stated that freshets and the
dumping of mud on the oyster beds
have been the cause f killing the large
quantities of oysters that in past seasons
have given profitable employment to
