Kindness That wouIdn,t KIN.

The authorities of Philadelphia, having
been induced by the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals to put to
death the worthless ours at the dog pound
by sutfocating them in a large tub with
carbonic acid gas, tried the experiment on
Saturday. After the dogs had been kept
in the tub for about five hours the cover
was removed, and the spectators, instead
of seeing q mass of dead dog flesh, fonnd
lot of very lively animals staring them
out Of countenance, and evidently desrous
of knowing the cause of their strange con-
inement. The gas appeared not to have
had the desired effect. It was evident
that this mode of killing dogs was entirely
too humane, and as a dernie7' resort the
old method was resorted to, and E'man's
sent out of the world.
