BRANDON, Thursday May 81, 1916,

OF those who had known him here; anC
we are glad Of an opportunity of publicly
expressing our high regard for him as q
man and Il teacher. He has been sue
ceeded by Mr.. A. Werner as teacher o
music. The other teachers are young
ladies' from the State Normal Schools,
who are assisted by W blind persons
formerly pupils.
All the teachers, and the persons en-
ployed, have given satisfaction /; and the
conduct and improvement of the pupils
have been such as 10 afford US especial
qualification.
The Two blind mutes, Laura Bridgman
and Olive. CaSwelI, whose instruction is
Of course entirely different from that of the
other pupils, have been making very sa~
tisfactory progress. They each of them
require special care, and the almost undI-
vided attention of a teacher. They cons
tinue 10 be most interesting persons in
their way and would be distinguished
any where, among youth with all their
senses, for their happiness, gentleHess, az
fiction, and truthfulness.
Such results, produced under cruel pri
~va;ions and untoward circumstances,
which would seem calculated TO crush the
affections in the bud, and to make the suf>
ferers morose and selfish, are of more i'm.
portance 10 them than all the knowledge
they have acquired, or can ever be made
TO acquire. They are important also 10
others, by showing the capacity of hu-
manity for good as well as for evil, by
exemplifying the power Of education, and
by proving that The elements of happiness
are within ourselves, and independent OF
external circumstances that, when the
intellect can have exercise, and the atfec,
tions find food, and conscience reign SUI
preme, there contentment may bloom con-
tinually, and joy blossom in its season.
For a more particular account Of these
cases, we would refer the Corporation to
the special Reports of the Directors, which
will be found in the Appendices.
Finally, we would commend the lnsti-
tuition, and the interests Of the blind, to the
special notice and care of the Legislature,
of the Corporation, and Of the public
They still have, each and all, important
duties to perform the establishment still
requires their cafe and their encourages
ment, for it has not yet reached its highest
point of usefulness and it can never do
so without the hearty cooperation Of all
upon whom God lays the responsibility Of
its success.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

Seldom a day passes in which such cru
ely to the dumb beast as would give an
guish of heart 10 all except unfeellng
minds, does not in some way, come TO my
knowledge. The horse and the OK are
driven to excess, burdened beyond their
strength, subjected to the pains of hunger,
and made the objects upon which the ma
ligner and the drunkard vent their mania.
The dumb beasts are not generally treat
ed with that tenderness and humanity that
they should be. Kind treatment is the
only return we can make them for the be.
nefts they are adapted to confer. The
most loathsom reptile and the most worth
less animal are entitled 10 some pity. l
should shudder at becoming dependent
upon those who delight in torturing the
dumb beast for "a merciful man is mer.
Icitul 10 his beast and whoever delights in
misery or sports with life, can neither be
happy himself nor make others so. La
dies, if you would not make yourselves
unhappy and implant in your offspring
malevolence, thus becoming accessory to
an ocean Of sin, do not select such friends
for husbands. For, passions and lenden>
cies of mind as well as special talents be-
ing hereditary, though we may reform
the present generation, it remains with
those who are yet 10 become parents,
whether malignity shall be planted in
the hearts of those who shall live when
we are no more. The selling Of rum to
the drunkard is now looked upon 10 be
what it really is, a sin ; but who thinks
of saying any thing against selling or
letting a dumb beast to those who abuse
them? With what cruel, false, remorse-
less beings-complete adopts in vice
the world is filled | He who cannot
show mercy to the dumb beast, is want
ing in the delightful emotions Of gratis
tude to his W kind. How long will
mankind importune heaven for blessings
before~lh learn that the shortest way
10 receive them is 10 impart-lhat tho
it is blessed 10 receive, 1T is more bless
ed TO give than 10 receive How long
before they will open their bowels Of
compassion to the cry Of distress p

and going off where all things were beau

some days at my fathers house, and she
was now TO return home. Her path lay
across the fields, and gladly became the
companion OF her walk. never knew a
summer morning more beautiful and still.
Only one little cloud was visible, and that
