Oyster Industry.
Editor OF The Tines Dispatch

Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir,--l have noticed in your paper
several communications concerning this.
oyster industry In this State.
It seems to me that something or
somebody has been wrong in this ma t.
ter, ana am seeking for informal
ton.
10 put it clearly, ii seems to me
either the oyster industry In this State
is incapable of being developed us in
other States or else the laws that have
| governed its development nave not
been the correct ones. or has the fault
been IN the CARRYING out, as is SO often
| the case? 1t seems impossible to be-
llevc, the former, for Virginia is FAM
| GUS Tor her oyster beds, but if we are
| 70 believe. the latter. our State surely
has q serious charge to face,

New York relating to the police dogs

Carefully considered by the Police Com.

"There is no longer any doubt in the

The CANNES lave proved themselves
efficient and wiling"
Polico dogs have long been used to
advantage In some of the European
cities, and the success Of the New YORK
experiment is no surprise to those who
have investigated the subject. The dog
is an animal OF keen scent and OF
great Intelligence, so far rs that term
may be applied to the brute creation.
By nature 1t has a strong attachment
for its master, loves his society. is
Thoroughly obedient to his will and
word Of command, and Is, therefore
easily trained. The police department,

trained dogs, and Richmond should not
