of which are chronicled below taken from the Euen-

FILTHY STREETS IN BROOKLYN.
a resident of Brooklyn complains of the filthy con-
dition of the lower portions Of Carroll President

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
A prominent merchant writes as follows respecting
cruelty TO beasts:
Il desire to call your especial attention to prac-
tce that prevails in markets and on our ferries
especially from New Jersey TO great extent, whica
involves not only the health of the community, but
also violation OF the h CHEST laws Of humanity. 1t
is the practice of bringing anmals-caves and sheep
particuarly-tO market with their feet tied in such
manner that their ankles are swollen to more than
double size, their flesh becomes infaned and in this
unhealthy condition they are slaughtered and the
meat sold in market 1t not unfreq occurs that
these animals tied in this manner are loaded upOn
carts wagons in such numbers that they suiocate
and sometimes their heads hang over upon the
wheels and are shamefully mutiated by the nhunlan
drivers. Tins thing occurs very often on the ferry
boats running between the leading railroads in New
Jersey and this city. If you have power to remedy
the evil trust you will adopt prompt rules TO aC-
cOmplish it,
DISGUSTING PRACTICE OF BUTCHERS.
A complaint against practice of butchers is as
follows:
Il wish to call your attention TO practice among
butchers that but little considered by the con
sumerS OF meat IN New 0rk city, which | have long
considered detrimental to public health. 1t is the
practice OF inserting tubes into the fatty nartS of
carcass of meat, and particularly sheep and lambs
also veal and blowing it cut full often with the etid
that the meat is really contaminated and rendered
unhealthy"
