VIEWS OF AN OYSTER TOSGER, Save onr Natural Beds aid Further Develop oar Supplies. A correspondent of the Elizabeth City Economist who speaks of himself as an oyster tonger thinks that his eighteen year experience as a worker in the business of fishing and oystering gives him an understanding of the kind of laws that would prove benefloial to the class of men to which he belongs, and aver that they are crippled by the existing law forbidding the carrying of oysters from this to sny other state in the shell, He says: iWe commenced to carry our oyiters lust iear into Virginia where we got a fair price of from fifty to sixty cents pur tub, where the law regulates the tub to be twenty one inches. We also sold to Virainia vessels, who paid us on our rocks from 85 to 85 cents per tub, we were getting from 25 to 85 cents on the roeks and from 60 to 60 cents in Norfolk. We now have to take from 8 to 20 cents on the rooke and 20 cents in Elizabeth City market and beg them to buy them, and measured iu a tub from 24 to 25 inches. Now then Mr. Ed: it is not worth our while to fatten the fat hog fatter and let thepocr pigs starve, but let us keep them all in a thriving condition. What we want is the following laws: First. A law to prohibit non resi dents from going on our rocks and catching oysters with dredges, drags, ccrapus, scoops, tongea, or with any thing by whioh oysters may be taken, second, A law to prohibit anv resi dent of the state from employing non residents to catch oysters in any shape, iu the waters o. North Carolina. Third, A law to prohibit the use of dredges, drags, scoops, or anything ex cept the ordinary tonges, Inside of the reef from Ocraooke Inlet to Oregon Inlet. Fourth, A law to prohibit the taking up ground to plant oysters within one mile of any natural oyster rock. Fifth, A law to regulate some stand ard measure, to buy and sell by. Sixth, A law to give the resident of the state who is industrious enough to c jtoh tho oysters from the natural oyster beds a privilege to sell their oysters in the best market obtainable either in or out of the state. In an article on oyster protection the Norfolk Virginian makes the statement that the Alliance people of North Caro lina propose to urge the Legislature to press a very important act to stop piracy and abuses and says that the proposed aot "make it unlawful to remove be yond the limits of that State any shell oysters unless the same shall have been planted in some private ovster-beds in North Carolina, for at least two years prior to removal, and in no ease shall it be lawful to remove any shell oyster out of the State under two and a half inches in length, nor to buy or sell oysters under that longth, unless for planting in private oyster-beds there The aot will also make it unlawful to take from the waters of North Carolina any oysters between May 1st and Oo- tooer lit of each year from the natural beds, except for the purpose of return' ing them to be planted In some of the private oyster beds in North Carolina." Interest in the fate of the oyster in our own stataand in Virginia, was never more thoroughly aroused than now and it is well that it is so, for the crisis is at hand. Our oyster business is soon to be largely developed or destroyed, which thall it be. That is the question to be decided and it is one of the most im portant to ua that will oome before our Legislature which is to meet next month. By proper ventilation of the subjeot and careful interchange of opinions and reasons therefore we hope wise solution of the debated plan may be consummated. The Entertainment Tonight.

Editor Editor: A Ibave not seen any solution to the problem given in the Sunday morning s Journal of De cember 7th, by the Collegiate Institute, to whose students the problem was given, I will herewith give you as brief statement as I can to the problem in said paper. The 14 rails to the rod is the only basis given to ascertain the answer; therefore mensuration is the only rule I can find to solve the ccse: Una mile 820 rods. Then by multi plying 820 by 820 and divide the result by 160 the result will be 640 acre to the square mile. Then by taking one side of the square mile and multiply 330 rods by 4 the number of sides and by 14 the number of rails to the rod. we get a result of 17930 rails around the square mile. Then by taking the 17920 rails and divide by 640 the number of acres in the square mile the result will be 23 miles to one side of the unknown square. Then 28 mile multiplied by 820 rod will result in 8960 rods to one side, and the 8960 rod multiplied by 8960 rods and di ided by 160 will make the answer 501760 aores. Then 23 miles multifled by 320 will result as before, 8960; then multiplied by 4 the number of sides and 14 the number of rails will make the answer 501760 rails. The problem can be worked with any number of rails to the rod. hot in stance 10, 12 or 16, eto. The problem can also be worked with a board fence, the boards to be ICi feet long. For m stanoe, the fence to be 5 boards high and the board b one rod long, and the number of boards around the field and the number of acre in the field, will be the same. Also any other number of boards, as 8, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, eto. Another point is that the number of miles to one side of the unknown square is always double the number of rails or boards to the rod, used in the problem above, the one mile square.
