BERGH AND HOG sLAUGHTERING.

The bengnly benevolent Bergh whose kindly in
sncts impel him TO all the special powers
conferred upon him President OF the Society the
Prevention OF Cruelty Animals not alone TO smooth
the pathway Of the brute creation through life but to
free their transmigratory process from unnecessary
pain, time ago visited the hog slaughtcring
establishment OF Davis 4 Co. on Eleventh
His acute sensiblities being severely
shocked at sight OF the mode adopted for killing
the hogs he threatened an arrest Of the propr,ctors
unless they changed the style OF killing Indignan at
what they deemed an unwarrantahle interference in
their business, the propretors obtained temporary
Injunction ioroiddng his threatened interference Tins
injunction, after prolonged argument by Mr. A. Oakley
Hall on the part Of Davis Co. and Mr. Elbridge r.
Gerry behalf OF Mr. Bergh, dissolved by Judge
Larremore, of the Court Of Common Pleas, who wrote
able and exhaustive opinion the subject The
General Term of the Court fully ndorsed Judge Lar
remore's ruling, hodipg that an injunction not the
proper remedy, but an action IN the motion OF a suit
for damages A suit was accordingly brought against
Mr. Bergh, the object sought 70 be gained being proof
that he had transcribed his authority. Again there
was good deal of testimony taken, again able argu-
ments were made by the brilliant counsel, and again
Judge Iarremore given another opinion the latter
being model OF brevity, but clear and pointed in s
rulings The following is the opinion which was given
yesterday and IN which, will be seen he decides in
favor Of Mr. BcrCh:-
The testimony the trial has not virtually changed
the rights and relations OF the parties TO this action
since this injunction was decided. The points substan-
italy raised are
F,rst-That a special authority was required in each
case 10 be gwen by the Sheriff 10 any agent Of the
society before any could be lawfully made by
such agent in pursuance Of the act OF Aprll IL 1867
qaws 1861 chap 375 II sufficient TO say, in answer
70 this objection that section OF said act requires no
such special designation OF such agent but authorizes
tho Sheriff to designate any agent OF said company TO
make arrests &c. This shown 10 haze been done
in the or the defendant Bergh. and he thus
legally authorized to make arrests under section Of
Eaid act.
Second-That Bergh did arrest the plaintiffs
wants and the injunction should therefore be held TO
prevent a multiplicity Of suits.
do not think that the evidence warrants the con-
cluson that any arrest IL this case was actually made
Bcrgh found the door u plaintiffs establishment open
and entered without objection, talked with Of the
planis about the mode 81 siaughtorng animals then
m process and threatened make an arrest II such
mode continued. But, even iii were otherwise
Bergh, as the duly authorized agent Of the society
under section oi SAID act, had authority make an
arrest for any offence prescribed therein when such Of
fence was committed IN his presence.

A Testimonial 70 Henry wilson.

A letter from Huntington, N. H., dated
the let. inst, to the Boston Journal, con-
tains the following: while the late Vice
President was yet young man the little
spot on which he was born passed out of
possession Of the family and into the hands
of Mr.. NJ. LUTHER HAYES, a prominent
shoe manufacturer Of the town. Mr.. VIII
SON desired to possess it, and Mr.. HAYES
gave him a deed Of one acre which in
cludes his birthplace, which he visited
nearly every year for a long series of years.
To-day a rough granite boulder weighing
10 tons was moved two miles and placed
ON his birthplace. Ae il passed slowly
through the village, drawn by 10 oxen and
followed by coneourse Of villagers on
loot and in vehicles, the bells tolled
till it reached it's final resting-place.
What more fitting symbol of his rough or
iyin, when an elaborately finished shaft in
the cemetery shall symbolic his end"

Another Attack.

We are told that the retired senior mem
Der Of the late Sentinel firm, pitchGd into
one Of the County Commissioners last week,
and charged that they had wronged and
defrauded the Sentinel out OF somefye
or six hundred dollars in the matter Of
public printing. The Commissioners re-
garded the charge ms an insult
They are evidently in n bad way over Mt
the llnb. They seem to have supposed
that because two OF the Commissioners
were in favor OF Bowling Green as the
county seat, they would also be in favor OF
aiding Bowling Greeners IN plundering the
Treasury. In this they are disappointed
because the Commissioners are more hon
est than they supposed, and failing in using,
they now turn to GbIsiaq They will proba-
bly, be as successful in the latter course a.
they have been in the former. As long as
the Commissioners discharge their duties
faithfully and honestly, the people will
take care OF them. Should they ever con
sent to become the tools of the Bowling
Green Scamp Nest" then good bye to
them.
