A WORD for ,I,e WordIe,,.

Mr.. EDITORIALS the Press has always
proved itself the champion of the oppressed
aud helpless, permit me to ask through its
columns if there are not enough humane per-
sons in our midst, to form Society in league
fer the prevention of cruelty to animals?
The abuse of horses has been SO long prac-
tised, that the Public mind has become hard
ened to the terrible fact, though indiyiduals of
culture and tender feelings cry out in fiercer
indignation than ever, against this barbarian
ism, as the light of civilization brightens.
There are persons in our city so fortunate
as to own COWS Ia great luxury in these milk
and water days,) fine animals, which they en-
trust to the care of lads who have doubtless,
been reared IN the same school of cruelty that
their fathers were.
Do the owners of these animals know that
they are often driven to, and from pasture, at
with stakes, and clubbed with bricks and
stones, in fact that they are in danger of los
ing their property every time their animals are
let at large, through the ignorance and reck-
lessness of these miserable offenders; the cow
drivers?
The disastrous effects of these practices are
not fully estimated iu dollars and cents. The
moral sense of the community is shocked by
these acts, and in every separate offence OF
this kind, the seed of evil is sown, which may
become.a power in the State stronger than the
Penitentiary or the gailows.
If all good men, and especially the ministers
Of the mild and tender gospel of Jesus, desire
to stay an evil which of all others has been the
1S-Ss ~SnouAoS~, 80 - -.sssE-
warn the young against cruelty to animals,
practice which blunts the better sensi-
bilities of human nature and is offensive in the
sight ofGod. OBSERVER.

County Jail.

That screaming nuisanco-our county jail
again gets its periodical anathema from the
Grand Jury. We believe there has not been
term of the Circuit Court OF this county in the
last fifteen years, at which the Grand Jury, or
Judge, or both have not pronounced the county
Jail nuisance, and place "unft for the habi-
tation of human beings The Grand Jury Of
the present term have gone through the usual
form in this style
The Grand Jury of said county, in discharge
OF the duty to report to your honor the condition
OF the Jail OF said county, beg leave to report,
that the jury visited the JAIL and that 80 far az
management of the Jail is concerned, it appears
in good order; and they would report that the
capacity Of the Jail is entirely inadequate to the
wants Of the county in the following particu-
lars, viz:
!. The Jail is not large enough for the number
of criminals confined in the county
2. There is but one apartment to the Jail.
Young and old have to be confined in the same
room. In the judgment of the Grand Jury this
is wreng. The young boys should have . sepa-
rate apartment, and not be confined with the
more hardened criminals.
=. There is no separate room or place for
female prisoners, and all must be together in tho
same rssm-unless for the humanity of the jail
or in providing for them some place other than
the county jail. The privy being in the same
room, elevated about three feet, the imprepristy
| of confning all together must be apparent.
| Lastly, the Jail being clese snd damp, and the
sleeping cells being smali-4-tws or three persons
having to be crowded together in the same cell
| the Grand Jury believe it to be unit for the
habitation of human beings, disgrace to . civ
ilized community.
Adopted unanimously this sixth day Of Feb
ruary 1869, by the Grand Jury, and ordered

A Decided Convenience.


Various contrivances have been ressrted to by
our warehousemen within the last few years to
facilitate the unloading of grain from farmers
wagons. but the perfection In that line has been
reached by Thorne, Gibson d Herrick, at the large
Armour warehouse. They call it patent dump.
It is a platform so arranged over huge hopper
that when loaded wagon is driven upon it, the
rear end Of the wagon is dropped down sufficient
ly to unload tho wagon in half . minute by sim
ply removing the end board. There is NO un-
hitching hsrses--no preliminary fixing Of any
kind. The corn falls into the hopper from which
it is carried BY ELEVATORS to the adjacent cribs
or to the shelter, if preferred. Tho whole ar
rangemsnt Of dump, elevators. &C., is SO COM
plets that it saves the labor Of dozen Of men,
It is quite a labor to farmers and serious waste
of time to spend half an hour more to shovel
a load of corn into warehouse, whence we in
fer that farmers hereafter will generally prefer
to take their corn to Thorne, Gibson & Herrick
to save this time and labor, especially as they
are so well known as among the most reliable Of
our warehousemen, and always pay the top price.

sour Flag In Still There.S

As the spring season is approaching, Alschu-
ler - 20. would inform their numerous patrons
OF La Sale and adjoining counties that they are
~ busy as bees in manufacturing a splendid
stock OF spring clothing, which cannot be sur
passed for elegance, cheapness and durability on
the American continent. One of the firm learned
his trade in France, and personally superintends
the manufacture of all our clothing every gar
ment is therefore warranted to be we'll put
together. Alschuler u CO. are now devoting all
their attention to the sale and manufacture of
clothing, and are now establishing a new system
OF doing business, in cutting down their expen-
ses materially and selling goods on small mar
gin. The attention Of the public is called to the
fact that they manufacture every garment they
sell at home, which mode of doing business,
certainly deserves the appreciation of every tax
payer in the State of Illinois. The cash and one
price system is strictly adhered to by that firm,
which enables them to offer great advantages to
close cash buyers. Before purchasing spring
clothing elsewhere, be sure and call on them, as
they are gentlemen enough to show YOU through
their factory, even if you do not purchase any
goods from them. They defy anybody who is q
judge of goods, to examine their stock and beat
them for quality and low prices. The clothing
of Dayton cloth deserves especial notice, Is they
buy none but the best goods of Mr.. Green's

king the times better than they have been and
bringing our Yankee task-mastsrs to terms. That
is the way Napoleon served the British. Why
in the name of common sense and self-interest
should the people Of the West not prefer to wear
western made garments in preference to those
brought from distance? Alschuler & Co. offer
wager Of $4,000 that they can get up better,
cheaper and more suitable garments for the
western peoole, than any eastern establishment
can possibly do, This firm is not known to

chasing from them you will surely compel other
merchants to follow the example set by Alsehu-
lsr 4 Co., and add to the prosperity of our beau
tiful town. They employ a large number Of
tailors, the very best in the profession, and
would urgently invite the people from near and
far, to visit their factory and convince them
selves of these facts Western manufacturers
will yet conquer q glorious victory.
