A SWILL-MILK SENSATION.

A Breakfast Appetizer for the "City Of
Churches"-What the " Hub'' of the Empire
Stnte FlavOrs Its Coffee with.
At the session of the New York Board of
Health, held at police headquarters yesterday,
the following chapter of grievances, calculated
to arouse a shower of indignation in Brooklyn,
was submitted by Mr.. Bergh, President of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails. The communication was referred to the
Sanitary Committee for investigation and re-
port
AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS, New YORK, Dec 90
1S69.-George b. Lincoln, President:--A most
atrocious wrong is being inflicted on the inhabi-
tants of Brooklyn and this city by wretches
whom it would be gross hattery to call brutes.
1t consists in their confning hundreds of cows
together in dark and badly-ventated stalls,
without exercise, and scarcely room to stand or
lie down. all the while fed on distillery waste or
sl0ps. This barbarous and unnatural treatment
produces its natural consequences. The animals
become positively rotten, the poisonous mucus
sometimes actually dropping from their bodies.
And while in this condition they are MIXED and
the horTid liquid sold and consumed by the in
habitants of the aforesaid cities. Nor is this all.
The ofial or dead cart makes its daily visits to
this frightful charnel house, where it may be
seen waiting. in some instances, for the very
bodies of animals then actually diving while
being milked. | am aware that it is difficult to
reconcile this statement to the sober realities
of truth, but there is no fiction, unhappily, in it,
The nauseating but unsuccessful Investigations
of this society long ago in those localities con-
firm its accuracy. Now, the question is, shall
these 'deeds almost without name" be forever
tolerated for want of official severity, or by
reason of an incomprehensible apathy on the
part of the people? Not an hour should be lost;
hundreds of men, women, and children are
annually being murdered or consigned to lives
of disease, to say nothing of the tortures of the
submissive brute, by suffering these pest-houses
to exist. Let them be speedily and forcibly
swept out of being, and their Gendish proprie-
tors sent to Sing Sing.
But, you will say, proof of this is necessary.
This l engage to furnish, provided the Health
Board win comply with my request-repeatedly
urged-that one of the agents of this society be
appointed an assistant inspector, without COM
pensation, as provided by the eleventh section
of the act of 1866, and subsequently amended in
section Is of same law. This matter is certainly
of sufficient Importance to the public to employ
every means offered for its correction. And |
trust the board will, without delay, second this
effort of ours to do that which its present in
spectors in that locality have completely failed
to do. | have the honor to be your most obe-
dent servant, HENRY BERGH, President.

the body at 400 pounds.
Mary Maiden, of whom this petrifed body is
the remains, was well known in Saginaw
City ten or twelve years ago. She was a devout
Catholic. Her husband was at one time keeper
of the lighthouse at Thunder Bay, and is now
living at Alpena. 1t is said that she died very
suddenly one day, after eating hearty dinner.
She was quite large woman, weighing, perhaps,
200 pounds.
Mr.. Lewis, through the Sagina,cia,a says:-
THE head had fallen from the body, and the
bones of the neck at the point of separation had
the same appearance as those of other bones
near by, known to be the remains of one buried
about the same time. Of the head, as we saw it,
there was nothing left but the bones. From the
shoulders down to the feet save the hands,
which were somewhat crumbled the body re-
tanned its natural shape of rOundness Over the
bowels there was a slight depression, but the
wall of the abdomen was full, and the limbs,
even to the break in the right leg near the
ankle, which occurred while the deceased
and her husband were keeping the light at the
mouth OF Saginaw river, were precisely as they
must have looked when she laid out for
burial The general appearance of the limy deposit
by which this wonderful preservation has been
effected, is like that which often accumulates in
tea-kettles, and as it appeared in the interstices
of the clothing, and in the soft parts of the body
where there had been slight abrasons, as in the
lift hip, was of about the same consistency. The
chest and breast were particularly full and had
attained greater degree of hardness than any
portion of the body
This is decided TO he OF adiDOporn
which is explained by the New American Ency-
clopedia, as follows: "Adipecree is product of
the decomposition of heshy matters. 1t bears
a slight resemblance to spermaceti 1t is formed
from bodies buried in moist earth and especially
when these are accumulated for years in great
