Cruelty TO Animals.

ME-. EDIToR:-Can anything be done to
ameliorate the condition Of our dumb ami
mails? Our hearts were panied to-day at the
inhuman treatment administered to street.
car horses. The poor faithful creatures were
striving to their utmost to draw an ever load
ed car, and because their strength and muscle
were insufficient to do 1t readily they were
lashed until they nobly accomplished what
they were so unreasonably required to do.
Large stalwart men were aboard that car
who suffered those poor overtaxed animals
| to draw them through the loose untroddep
| snow, while some greater, though no so large,
stepped from the Car to relieve the horses.
There is much said about law to protect
| animals. Is it being enforced in Maine? Can
not something be done? Are there no msn
| or set of men whose influence can be brought
| TO bear in behalf of these noble creatures which
| cannot speak fer themselves? Let the ques-
| ton OF Human Rights rest awhile, II need
| be, that the rights of these humble servants
that labor for us so willingly, and patiently,
may be discussed. They have rights which
our race owes to them. They should be well
cared for, well fed. well protected. and not al
loved to draw twice or three times as much
as their own weight or strength would justify.
If some one who can WELD an able pen had
witnessed the scene they might have reached
| the hearts OF the public. We can scarcely ex-
| pect to effect much yet, nevertheless, we can
not hold our peace. We plead in the name
of humanity, and pray that we may be heard.
Will not some, or what would be better, all
OF our true, noble hearted citizens think OF
these things, and not only think, but put forth
their hands to shield these dependent oness
Surely they will be recompensed by Him who
said, Blessed are the merciiul for they shall
| obtain mercy. AN OBSERVER.

Recent Publications.

From the Fifth Avenue Publishing Compa-
pany, New York, we have beautiful volume
entitled Lore Songs and Other Poems," By
Mary Ange de We're. These poems appeal to
the hearts of all who are, have been or expect
to be, lovers, well as TO the artistic tastes OF
all who admire good poetry. Without any
apparent study Miss De We're makes US breathe
the air of Greek verse, with its sensuous love
of beauty and its blind allegiance to fate, be Il
ever so unwelcome. When she shall have
climbed the heights of faith and trust her songs
will be less sad. She is yet young and gives

WATERvILLE, Feb, 4, 1870.
To the Editor of The Press.
A month ago an Irish fellow citizen was
moved by the unusual mildness of the season
t. remark: "Irs an early Spring zoe are
h1ring~ AT the present writing, with elsht-
cen inches of snow and the thermometer II
degrees below zero this morning, we may
with reason expect little wintry weather
IL yet in store for US. Sleighing has been
good nearly all winter, The open waters Of
the Kennebec have been an untimely aud un-
welcome sight to the citizens of the towns
on the river banks. No wood has been
brought across to market Tue mIIkmen
have been forced to make their daily visits on
foot Trade of all kinds in this place has
been materially lessened since the loss of The
old bridge.
BRIDGE TALK.
No wonder that nine-tenths of the worthy
citizens constituting the Ticoric Corporation,
with very large proportion of the accessible
citizens OF Winslow Joined in retitioning for Q
free bridge. The best names in both towns
were on the petition, and the Legislature re-
cognized the propriety OF the petition at once.
The meeting appointed TO remoustrass
against the petition, found themselves obliged
to vent their displeasure in demand for the
repeal Of the act. This meeting was no az
ception to the common style of assemblies
where bridges and taxes are the themes of
discussion. There are always found elderly
nit ob,
subject of tax-paying, who ansri'y oppose
every measure for the public good, If it IL
likely 10 add dollar to their taxes.
Another class of remonstrants Is found In
those who form little communities in parts Of
the town remote from the bridge. West Wa
terville is five miles from the Kennebec, and
is ambitious to be the chief village of the
township. 1t is plucky little place, but has
not been suspected of any generous love for
the old town on the Kennebec. The chief
opposition TO the free bridge comes from this
rival interest. But the travelling and trading
part Of the community demands way Of
crossing the river which shall be permanent,
convenient and free.
ICE AND ITS PHENOMENA.
Parties are now gathering ice ten inches
thick, for summer use. In the broad bay
may be seen remarkable collection of min
iature icebergs, ten or twelve feet high and
from twenty to forty feet square. The top Of
these masses of ice is the clear surface OF
about one foot in thickness. The rest ia OF
poorer quality. The most reasonable theory
of their formation, is that the anchor Ice
formed by the running water several rods
higher up, becoming dislodsed washed down
stream and attached itself to the under side
of the surface ice until the entire space BE-
tween that and the bottom Of the river be-
came one mass of ice. This checked the wa
ter so effectually that passage could only bs
forced by up heaving the whole mass on the
ice by either shore where it now lies.

The Chairman of the Committee on APP
propriations pursues shrewd plan in his plea
for economy. 1t seems to me that Mr.. Dawes
made mistake in the sweeping character OF
his fist charges of extravaganza. He was
doubtless led into that by misapprehension Of
certain things which shall enleavor to ex-
plain.
He based his first speech upon the totals
presented in the book of estimates. This
volume is made up of the figures presented
by the different heads of Bureaus and De-
partments. The total of these estimates,
unrevised by the Secretary of the Treasury,
is about 342,0OO,O0O, allowing for clerical
error of seven millions in the footing of an
item. This total Mr.. Dawes compares with
Mr.. McCulloch not aoith the estimates sent in
| by the Bureaus at that time. The reason fol
this is simple one. Before Mr.. Boutwell's
time it has not been customary TO add this
estimate book. Mr.. Dawes look McCullock's
revision, and the unrevised totals now pre-
sentej. have not footed up the estimate
book of last year but am told that it VIII loot
I'M TO over s35O,OOOOO0. Mr.. Boutwell's re
vision cuts below McCulloch's figures abou
twelve millions,as Mr.. Dawes might hav,
seen. The Secretary's estimate is, believe
about s291, 100000.
Mr.. Dawes in his second speech defeudu
his criticism, shrewdly seeks to get out of tb
consequences Of his error as well as to main
tain his position,-that there is not the pre-
per desire for economy displayed in the ex
scutive departments-by comparing the ur
revised and disjolnted estimates from the boo
