The phl1nnthroplc philosopher who pre-
ides over the Society for the Prevention Of
,ruelty to Animals, has made the alarming
iscoyery that teed.dea1ers in this city arc
to mix ground plaster and mar
,le dust with horse food, thereby enaanger-

nd most useful members Of the brute crea-
ion. 1t seems that tho complaint is we'll
oupded, aud the discovery Of the fact will
probably cause dIscontlnuanee ofthe prac-
Ice. The same society has lately investt'
,ated the sutreringa Of live stock brought
,ither from the West, without receiving .
sartfctc Of food, water or rest between Chi
.ngo and New Tork, md the Presidents dis
closures Of the same make story Of most
startling cruelty.
