Cruelty.

1t is positive piece of cruelty for gro
Gerry keepers to fasten chickens into an
open work coop and place them on the side
walks in the cold winds and storms. In
rough weather they should be protected.
A large coop of chickens, opposite the
Harper House, has stood there day and
night, through the cold and storm, the
poor fowls huddled together as best they
could, but exposed and suffering all the
while. There is law in this State pun
ishing cruelty to animals, and this kind of
cruelty comes within the terms of that
law, declaring that any person who shall
torture, torment, or cruelty treat, or de
prive of food or drink, any animal, shall be
fined not less than s., nor more than ! 100,
to be recovered on complaint before any
justice of the peace. And the act defines
the word animal" to mean ANY living
creature

On Saturday. the 18th, Mrs Broderick,
wife of Mr. james Broderick, of the Sham
rock House, was out to their farm near Milan,
and was accidently overturned in the bug
gy, breaking one arm and badly spraining
one ankle. She is out there yet, but is
doing as well as could be expected, and
will probably be able to ride home before
many days. 1t will take about six weeks
time for the bones to unite again.
And yesterday Sunday afternoon Miss
Ellen Broderick went out to visit her moth,
err, taking along with her Miss Lizzie
Byrnes, and boy to drive As they were
returning, when near the court house, or

gy, spilling its occupants, but luckily mont
of them were much hurt.

Eina Show Caaaa.

In visiting the Chicago Exposition and
wandering among the maze of articles
manufactured in the Northwest, the eye
cannot fail to be attracted by the fine dis
play OF show cases on exhibition from the
famous factory Of j. Dixon & Co. This
firm has long enjoyed high reputation
for the elegance Of its show cases, and as
may be imagined it has excelled itself both
in design and execution in producing some
thing worthy of the great Interstate Fair.
We understand that the premium cases
have been disposed of at high figures, but
J. Dixon & Co. stand prepared to dupli-
cate them at any time at lower prices than
the same grade of goods can be had else

Competition on the River Needed

This morning the steamer Rock Island
passed down. She was loaded with freight
from top to bottom, and has been refusing
freight all the way down from Dubuque.
At this point there were awaiting trans
pOrtatiOn about fou1 hundred packages of
freight which have been lying here for
two days past. The boat would not take
a pound of it, and so it has to remain here
for several lays more, or the shippers will
have to go to the additional expense of
hauling it away to the railroad to be ship
ped by rail. Last week gentleman who
was removing from Clinton TO Davenport,
came down on the Minnesota That boat
would not or could not carry his goods, and
now the Rock Island refused them, leaving
the gentleman and his family in considera-
Bile trouble here. 1t seems to us the pack
ct company might provide some accommO-
dation for moving freight; this refusing
freight has been of very frequent occur
renee this season. If the company cannot
afford to put more than four boats on the
upper river, they had better haul off alto
gether, and then shippers would know
what to expect What is wanted is some
lively competition, and it is to be hoped
that an opposition company will take the
field or rather the river, next season
