CRUELTIES OF SWANROPPINa.

A correspondent writing to the Doi,Y Tdegrosk
under the signature "A Friend of Dumb Animals,"
states that he was paving through Cbirtesy oat
needeY, end le/M.6mA the t Teta ion of marking the
young swine in the Thames which he describ,e as
one of great brut .llty. "The swan," he sap, "a.
thrown out on the bank, with its less tied to render
it powerless. One man then broke off with his hands
the end of the bird's right wing, separating the
sinews afterwards with a knife. A dab of tar was
then applied to the place, with a view, I suppose, of
stopping the bleeding, and actually. of coon*, giving
addittonal pain to the bird. After this an ovalehaped
incidon was made in the beak on both sides, blood
flowing immediately the knife was applied, and the
swan was then untied and allowed to escape its tor-
mentors. That this should be done annually to all
young swans, and in the Queen's name too, without
any Interference, appears to me monstruns. The
Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Anima, will prosecute the poor costernsojer foe
overworking his donkey, but still the my °ppm
are allowed to continue this work of wanton cruelty
unmolested. I shall be glad if you can snare room for
the insertion of this lett r layout valuable paper, and
hope that it may meet ths eye of some humane person
in authority who has power to prevent the recurrence
of this barbarous practice."

SHOCKING CRUELTY BY A MOTHER.,
The Copenhagen correspondent of a coutempwarg
writes :—A pain,ul piece of scandal in high life is joie
now the talk of everybody here, and, as the matter ie
being publicly dimmed in the press thereto' no reason
not to mention the names of the persons implicated.
Rumours had already long circulated that the two
daughters—young ladies o• 16 and 17years—of 11. de
Tobiason, one of the King's Chamberlains and Minster
of the Interior in • late Cabinet, were being very
harshly treated by their mother, their ladle. not
haring sufficient stren •th of mind or character to
prevent this cruelty. About a fortnight ago the eldest
daughter was one morning found staring in a dog
kennel belonging to a neighbour, and on being
qu 'timed be a young lady belonging to one of the
higbe,t families in the country, she declared that As
had run away from her home to avoid the repeated
crud ill•treatment inflicted on her by her mother, on
Me slightest pretence, and it was later discovered
that her body was one maas nf braless, aud
discoloured by the whippings inflicted on her.
She declared that she wag' gagged and tied, and thsie,
nearly every day, she was undreamed and severely
beaten, not to mention other acts of cruelty which •re
of such a refined nature that they remind one of the
horrors of the inquisition, a steel pin being, foe
instance, placed in such • manner in the neck of bee
dress that she had to hold her head in one position sil
day long if she would not run the pin into her chin.
The Queen being herself a most affectionate mother, it
was intimated to M. de Tobias° that his two
daughters from that moment stood under the 'p,ne!
protection of Her Majesty, who would ord, r the
necessary preparations to be made for seadiallthee
young ladies to a boarding school in Park. uedy
motive for this unnatural cruelty apneare to be that
the mother, who at one time wag a celebrated beauty,
was jealous of her own children.
