BRUTALITY To DUMB ANIMALs.-n the
course of our journalistic experience We
have mon several occasions, felt it ouI
duty to protest against the treatment
put upon many dumb animals. The
practice of tying the legs of calves to
gether with rope yarns, and the equally
brutal one of muzzling them with fine
Irvine to prevent them from sucking their
dam. has often been discanted upon
one of the re6nements of cruelty. how
ever, is practised upon Holsters. who have
wooden wedges driven in their joints to
prevent them from biting. then They aic

hundreds of miles Lo the poor lob
ster But there is a local custom which
is lust about As cruel; we refer to the
practice of tying chickens legs together
with fine Irvine, Singing them over the
square handle of market basket, and
transporting them an indefinite distance,
and then, perhaps. leave them in that
position while the head of the family
breakfasts Many refined and high
toned ladies, heads of families, do this
thing 1t only makes the chicken fever

subjects of the King of Dahomey are hui
