LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

WASHINGTON, ID. q, Septe mber 9Th, 1874.
Editor Star: am prompted by feelings Of
pity to cali the attention OF the ''SOciety for the
stitution exists here) To the inhuman treatment
OF cart horses in the navy yard. They are COM
PEELED to draw sngly from 800 to . 200 pOun IL
OF COAL from the deposit or landing 70 different
parts OF the yard, and with An invariably up
grade, which makes il much more diff cult and
buTdensome for ttem-the Implying dri yers
gOsd them on, end harIass them with voice and
whip until their every tendon and fiber seems
ready TO burst from straining and Juggling at
the immense weight attached TO them. Now
would ask does the Society recognize this as
cruelty? If 20, let them take some action to-
wards preventing or remedying this evil. The
horse is truly the most Intelligent animal that
lives, and we should treat him in a way 70 pro-
long life as far as possible, with a proper re-
gard for the inestimable service he is 20 man.

III EXAND RIA.

SUPPOSED SUICIDR.-A coroner's inquest was
held this morning near the ferry slip OF the Vir-
glnla Midland railroad, by Justice Pa1gett upon
the dead body OF Thomas Mcintosh, and the
verdict of the jury was that the deceased came
to bis death by Intentionally drowning himself.
The evidence adduced was TO the effect that the
deceased-who was a bridge builder and car
penter, employed by the Virginia Midland rail-
road company, and who lived near tue Stone
bridge-in consequence of the discovery of ir
regularities in his family relations, had ade his
children farewell last Thursday evening, telling
then they would never see him agsiu; that on
that Di ght Peter Francis fou nd, ana took charge
of, hat coat and pair of shoes lying in pile at
the slip above mentioned, aud which slip the
deceased had helped to build; Cd at this morniny
some boys saw the leg OF man protruding from
beneath the wharf at the slip, and telling Cap
tain Philip Pote, the latter had pulled the
corpse out and tied it to the wharf, where its
Identity was recognized.
MADE TO PAY.-Some excitement was ocea-
stoned at the upper end of King street last ght
by two young men hailing from Washington,
who, after riding about town in a carriage be-
longing to Chatham's livery stable, attempted
to blk the driver OF his fare. The latter, how
ever, raised hue and cry, and Policeman Webb
the station house, they paid the driver what
they owed him, and left the city with altered
opinions of its police force.
AN AMUSING INCIDENT occurred in one of the
Episcopal churches in this city last Sunday
morning. One of the wardens, in landing round
the plate for contributions, held il before an old
lady, who, evidently unaccustomed to this
method OF collecting, and seeing upon the plate
number of letter envelopes, and supposiDg
they were for distribution, took one, to the as
constituent of the warden, who had much diff.
Guilty in inducing her to return il. The atten-
ton of the congregation was attracted by the
incident, and a general smile was observable or
the countenances of all.-Gdzette, last eUeRing.

G EOR TO WN.

AN IMPOsToR.-A man was in this city yes
terday soliciting aid, as he said. TO enable him

one OF the departments, but had been dismi ssed
during the late retrenchment, and hal moved
to Witiiamsport. He sRid he was Baptist
preacher, and had recently received MEDICAL
attention at the Providence Hospital, in Wash
ington, for An enlargement Of the knee, and on
that account was unable to walk to Williams
port. He is Of small stature, with blue ewes
and sandy complexion, and is a good talker. In
Washington, We understand, he was looking up
the Masonic fraternity, and claimed to belong
to some northern lodge, to which a telegram
was sent, and reply received that the ma1 was
an lmpostor, and that the gentleman he claimed
TO be was there at bis home
