drawn by two of the team. An instance
of this kind came under our personal OBJ
servation recently. We were walking
across from Covington abreast of a wagon
load of iron from one of the rolling-mills,
when our attention was first called to the
desperate efforts of the leading mules. A
glance at the traces of the wheel mules
explained it-they were moi pulling a
pound. We mentioned the fact to the
driver, when he very politely requested
us to 90 to h and mind u own bust
ness.
Here is an opportunity for some of Il
p~hilanthropic citiZens-gentlemen who
have acquired a competence and retired
from business-to inaugurate a practical
~benevolence that will rebound to their
honor and to the immense relief of the
faithful animals to which we all owe so
much of our comfort II prosperity. Let
them organize a society for the preven-
ton of cruelty to animals at once, on the
plan of that in New York at the head of
which is Professor Bergh. Indeed, we
none of us know what misery and suffer-
ing these beautiful, useful and intelligent
creatures endure, and should at once or
ganiZe a society for their protection. The
plan of the New York society seems very
good, as by an enactment one-half the
ines assessed go to the support of the So
| ciety and he reward of those lodging
complaints, thus paying, as it were, GER
tain people for doing what should be a
sacred duty with all claiming a share
with the human family in the protection
of those dependent, helpless creatures.

this work proceed until a certain class
