The increasing demand for their publications
.affords a pleasing evidence of the continuance of
that confidence which it is their assiduous endeavor
to deserve. Attention having lieen frequently called

acknowledgment is also due for the grant of last

travelling in the service of the society; also, to such
conductors of tlm press as have given the aid of
their columns to the work.

Its day. Dogs of lll-repntc need no longer go on

the horrors of hydrophobia have been before every
man s eyes, so now the terrible retribution of "mea
sure for measure" Is being meted out, and "Death to
Dogs" is the watchword mid war-cry. Yesterday the
crusade was Inaugurated. Even before day had
dawned the dusky brigade of dog-catchers, hisso in
hand, were up and wending their way to the diminu
tive diadel iirlfpt the ' New Pound," aptly built
under the snadow of the walls ol the penitentiary.
Arrived there, they sat down to rest and prepare
themselves for the duties of the day.

The dusky crew had been well chosen, Joseph
Henry Brown. r,r;V, ;,, U P. D. C, and his half
dozen subordinates, are men as well lltted for their

for agriculture. They are men of dogs doggy, anil

fancied that, he could se. phantom eyes gazing

hovering about as though, when the tiaae came, to

piled, in democratic promiscuousnnss the
curly little pup caught in his first
escapade, and the growling, snapping brutes
known and feared "about the corners.': How like a
penitentiary I but the whip cracks and oil' goes the
cart, the chasers, each accompanied by a policeman,
scattering on either side. The route is to be a long
one, and they Intend to get over ground quickly.
Twenty-third street Is iirst entered and the surround
ing blocks scoured. It is early in the morning, 6
o'clock, and few people are stirring, but young Ame
rica, with his keen sense of excitement, has read
his newspaper and Is In no readiness. The few lads
on the street raise a shout, and the hunt has fairly
commenced.
THE KIKT DOG.
A fovtple Of blocks down Twenty-third street, one
of the chasers started on a dead-rim after a dog In
the distance. Notwithstanding the reprimand of the
chief, tho chase is continued, when Just as dog No.
1 escapes, by scampering up an alley, an overbold
enr, dog No. 2, came prowling out, and was there and
then noosed, choked into weakness, taken up by the
scnur of his neck, carried across the street, aud
chucked violently into the cart; the first victim of
the season. In vain he yelled and struggled. Though
he made ocular appeals which might have softened
any heart, even that ol a I. D. C, there was no
mercy shown. The gate was shut, and the
cart again travelled onwauls In search of dogs.
MISERY I.OVRS COMPANY.
But the occupant of the vehicle was not doomed
to solitary confinement. At another block another
skirmisher came In with hiscontrlbutlon.and another
dog was cast Into the caravan. The twotirut.es
eyed each other for a moment, -as doubting to re
turn or lly," and II nding they could do neither, both
sat. down to stare each oilier out of countenance;;
but each reading in the other's face his lamentable
condition, they seemed to hold amicable and con
solatory converse. As a bystander remarked, there
was "a heap of philosophy in them two dorgs," and
they really seemed to sympathize; and, indeed, It
would have taken no great degree of fancy to have
imagined this one regretting not having read the
paper, or tlie other pleading entire ignorance of
the law.

The urchins hurrah, and the route is again taken
up. Before Shippen street Is reached half a dozen
ol her curs have been snared and secured. But Shin-
pen street Is a little hunting ground, aud dogs are
just shaking themselves and making ready for the
morning meai, nun so into ."uippeu street, tney turn.
Suddenly the young ragamuffins about the cart dash
oil' down the street and a couple of policemen after
them. '-That's my dorg, an' he was muzzled." "He
ain't got no muzzle on now." "Well, that's my dorg,
uu' I'll have 'iin." A brawny Irishman mid a deputy
catcher are contesting the right to a yellow quadru
ped, and us words grow hut a pollcemau intervenes.
The noose Is on doggy's neck, possession is nine

w ith no adventure, save the picking up of a few
worthless brutes. Hounding the Prison, tho caval
cade enters Smoky Hollow, and at once is heard a
tcrrlllc yelling, blaspheming, barking, and roaring.
We run to tlie scene; a shaggy dog. weighing proba
bly a hundred pou mis, is hull-noosed and half-held
by a deputy. A woman half-clud demands his im
mediate release. Dog bi.es, darkey curses, woman
screams, boys yell, and policemen shove everybody
alsiiit. The' darkey won't let go, nor will the dog
come along. The dog tins seen better days, and the
pride of former times uies hlui to do something
desperate, ratherthan be penned in with the dozen
in the cart ; lie tuereiore tries to seize tne deputy by
the slims, and the woman hisses him on; but the
spirit ol . I czebel takes possession of the negro, and
he draws the corn tighter and tighter, until tnu re
fractory brute is lit to handle, when he is unceremo
niously introduced to the cage. The law has proved
triumphant, and other do:;s open to conviction by
illustration, seeing their champion fall, skedaddle
away to safe retreats.
The brigade, after thus weangomo Job, take a short
rest and an Inventory of stock, and tlnd that, they
have made a very successful venture, numerically
considered. Then they redeployed, and again pre
pared lor action. The Iirst canine objective was
AN ACTIVK DOG.
He would not be caught, at least not easily. The
particular catcher who was after him called for re
inforcements, und t wo other catchers came to his
aid. The active dog was now flanked on either side,
and advanced upon from the front and centre. It
will be'tindcrstood that the dog was falling back in
good order. Kvery time l he rope was thrown by one
or the other of the three advancing catchers each
of whom was supplied wiih a lasso it just missed
the animal by, it seemed, but the traction of an inch.
In this manner the advance on the part of the dog
catchers, and the retreat on the part of the dog, was
conducted, until tho latter reached evidently his
master's abode or domicile. There he growled a
loud dellunce, and mounted the Iront steps. But,
alas! for hfio, he could tail back no moie, lie could
no more exhibit his agility, utilize his extraordinary
activity to save nis neck, and neither his growl nor
the thieateiilng aspect oi his teetu save I him; the
throe of the brigade closed in; three lassos were
seen unrolling; in an iu.it. mttwo nooses were around
the active dog's neck, ami ne was nastily dragged
down the steps. At lh!s instant a man cumeto the
door, attracted there by I ae noise, 11c Inquired tho

A NEW SEA .SIDE lHHEf,.
Tho New ICxrnmion Ilon-c at Atlantic Miy.
The great, want that has beeu f. It, at Atlantic nty
evir since It has been a resort for those wi,o rieilgbt
in making a day's excursion to the sea-side, l.as at
last been supplied In tl.c shape of a miiinmotn
hotel, sufficient to acommodate 1,'aio guests, it is
located between Pacific, avenue and the ocean, about
a hall dozen blocks liclow tt e Surf House, ftbasa
front on the beach of 180 feet, and is 200 feet in
depth. It is three stones in height, und in divided
into various, compartments in a manner which is best
milted to the wants of the guests. Atound the
building, at the first and second store s, have been
erected substantial piazi.as, from which the visitors
have a mag iiilh enf. view ol the occau and tho more
thickly built up portions of the city. The lower tioor
is divided by an Immense hall running, the entire
length of the building, on tho lelt, as you enter tho
house, is a tine bowling suloon, where six teii-pm
alleys have been constructed. On the right is the
bar-room, which will be very tastefully tUted up. To
the rear of this is the dining-room, and a muui:4ioth
allalr it :s. It is 70 feet wide by 128 feet deep,
with a distance o! twenty feet from the
floor to tho celling. ;t will in the interim
bet ween meals be devoted to the purposes of a bar
room, and as it will accommodate about 1600 people
seated, It will prove to be one of the gTeat features
of the structure. Here the excursionists: will lie
protected from the rays ol the sun dunug the heated
portion of the day. At night the room can lie used
for the purpose of hops, still to tho rear is the
kitchen, which is one of tho kind, in size and com
fort, that we havo heard our mothers speak of. It
is large ami airy, and is replete with
every modern convenience. It is adapted
to cook for the above number of people, and
Its internal arrangements are as complete as
any of the principal hotels in the country. A great
feature of this part of the building is that, on enter
ing the dining-room, you do not smell the, to nearty
everybody, disagreeable odors of cooking victuals,
as that room and the kitchen are separated by a
large hall. Hack of the kitchen is a neatly con
structed building to bo used as a laundry. Like
everything else, it is complete, on the opposite sule
of the mam entrance are the wash-rooms, which
are maninotU in size and fumisned in
fine style. The second Door is divided
Into th" parlors), l,iiliard-room, a private
dining-room, and several committee rooms,
while on the third floor are fourteen large and
well-ventllated bed-chambers. The buiiding is to be
lighted throughout with gas, which will lie manufac
tured on the spot, and the machinery for that pur
pose is now in the course of erection. The track of
the Camden and Atlantic, Railroad Company runs
right to the building, so that from the tram you Jump
Into the hotel, instead of having to walk some dis
tance, as is generally the case at watering places,
under a broiling sun. Some eighty odd bath- houses
have been erected for the express use of excursion
ists, and are arranged with every convenience for
ladles and gentlemen. The entire ailair cost f.'iO.ooo.
lune 15 has been named as the opening day, when
everything will be in complete order to
receive guests. Mr. S. C. Kouigmaclier, a
man who has been raised in a first-class hotel, will
assume charge of the institution, so that no one need
have any hesitation in visiting the establishment
Carncross it. Dlxey's brass baud and orchestra have
been engaged for the season for the benefit of excur
sionists and sojourners. To further insure confi
dence with the public, "Street's safety life liues " have
been erected m front of the house, so that it will be
an impossibility for accidents to occur from drowning.

"The Kold marKet was iriejruiar duriiii the session
of the board to-day. At the opening the feeli'.ij;
rather favored a lower iireminm, especially as the

style ol financiers who are determined upon resump
tion of specie payment, no matter what the cost to
the mercantile community and the preal debtor cluss
in Kciu rai society. These cert-ficates are a portion
of tUe legal tender reserve with which our banks do
business. The'r reluvineut would be a stcii toward
contraction, and their cancellation ut the rate of a
million a week would produce the same commer
cial distress "w iilch ensued upon Mr. Mcculloch's
experiments- of tne same character. Congress
had to suspend the further diminution of the
currency in response to the popular outcry.
Mr. Houtweii nas no sucn check to restrain htm
now, if lie chooses to act arbitrarily iu tho matter.
unless, indeed. Ins strict iiitcrprctalloti of his ilutv
should show him that there is no law for his with
drawal ot the . erllte ales, and that Ins etlorts lu aid
of the sinking fund must be confined to the ii'iii'Iiaso
