LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

CRUELTY To ANIMALS. - Last week
three complaints were entered in Justice
Davis Court against Henry Vogt for
cruelty to animals. The first alleged
that he drove his team all day without
food or water, and let them stand in
harness oil night. Another charged
him with sticking knife into one of
his animals, aud third that he had
gouged an eye out of mule with his
thumb. He was tried on the first
charge yesterday and found guilty.
and to-day he is being tried for the
second charge. He waived his right to
a jury trial on the first complaint. and
lawyers say that i'll consequence of his
having done so, the Supreme Court
will set aside the whole proceedings,
as there is hitch between the Statute
and the Constitution on that point.

looking after the member of their tribe
whose arm was amputated last Sun
day. They are on friendly terms with
the Piutes and occasionally take hand
in their poker games. The tribes talk
different dialects, though many of both
who have been raised along the border,
understand each others jargen, which
to person unacquainted with either
sounds alike. The Piutes who speak
English say that Shoshone and Piute
are not at all alike and are not
dialects of the same language, but this
is probably mistake.

Coal, CATTLE AND BIRTHSTONE
H. X. Mitchell. who ought to be SEN
ator now and will be next time; j. w.
Adams, Lieutenant Governor, and
Theodore Hale, Prince of Inferno, met
at the depot yesterday. One would
suppose that this trio would discuss
the political situation in California,
and have word to say about the third
term, but their conversation was on
very different subjects. Mitchell spoke
OF the coal fields near Battle Mountain
which will eventually supply Nevada
with fuel; Adams talke ed of beeves and
the herds of Eastern Nevada, and Hale
waxed eloquent on the sulphur beds of
Rabbit Hole and pictured Inferno in
such warm colors that a sanctimonious
looking passenger who overheard him
remarked to fellow traveller that that
young man, pointing to Hale, gave the
most vivid description of Lucifer's
regions it had ever been his good for
tune to hear. He took Theodore for
an orthodox preacher and made one of
the greatest mistakes of his life.
In SEARCH OF Hrs MoTHER.-Joe
HAPPIER, lad fourteen years of age,
arrived here from the sink of Carson
last Sunday. He is son of Thomas

settlers in this county. Tom Rapier
was shot in the arm and crippled for
life by the Indians in Paradise Valley
in 1860. at which time they shot and
killed his brother-in-law, Joe Garfield.
Subsequently the family removed to
Carlin, from which place Tom Rapier
emigrated to Montana, and when last
heard from was in Arizona. Susie
followed Captain Paine to Colorado,
and was living in New Mexico
last winter. The boy appears to be a
"son of his nanny" and he says he is
going to fl nd her or burst. He says he
has letters from different persons in
forming him that his father was dead.
Susie brought her children up in the
way they should go and this one seems
to be going it,

A Reason for Allowing Colored Men
to Live.

The Shreveport Times gives an
account of the shooting of a colored
man by white gentlemen of the shot
gun party. 1t appears that store
had been robbed, and that Mr.. For
bin, the proprietor, had offered re-
ward for the detection Of the thief.
1t occurred to three shooting gentle
men that they could secure the re-
ward by proper manipulation, and
they arrested colored man as an ex-
pertinent and maltreated him % an
inducement for him to confess to the
crime. with the view Of pocketing
the reward. They were not officers
of the law, and made the arrest with
out warrant. The obstinate negro,
being guiltless of theft, naturally OBJ
jected t, confessing, and when he
would not, the white gentlemen tied
him securely and left him in charge
of the storekeeper while they went
for p more productive victim. The
solf- 'onstituted guardians of the
peace next went to the house of one
Henry Turner. Turner's door was
closed. but the gentlemen "fired sev-
eral shots into The house," the Times
says. They also found that Turner
was not a good man to confess. In
stead of confessing he answered the
ca of the gentlemen with Il musket,
and wounded one of them in the arm.
The gentlemen then returned to For
bins store and threatened To shoot
the negro lett tied there. Mr.. Forlin
asked them not to shoot, and the
gentlemen then threa ened to shoot
Forlln. That settled it. Fobin left
the store and the white gentlemen
took the negro out and shot him. in
the true chivalrous style Of the coun-
try.
The Shreveport 1,meS actually
condemns the action of the white
gentlemen and trusts that the civil
authorities will cndeavor TO arrest
and bring the assass MS to justice, and
gives an unusual reason for this
strange trust and belief. 1t says:
''Such acts of hwless men, ,sidc from
the question of humanity and violation
of the law, are calculated to do our people
incalculahlc harm, for all such cases are
set down by Radical faisifers and by such
unscrupulous parlisans as Merrill to the
score Of politics"
There we Sc" policy and justice
enough to satisfy the most exacting.
1t is one of the most scathing re-
Dukes ever administered to murderers
in Shreveport. Aside from the qucs-
ton of violating the law, and aside
from the manifest inhumanity of
shooting an innocent man. is held up
the fear that the Radicals may mis-
construc their little plcasantries, and
that such fellows as Merrill and Shcr-
idan may venture to assert that
human life is held too cheaLly in

Pr spects oi spring Trade.

The New York Enn, Mcrrioi En :
htin is entitled to credit for the most
comprehensive and reliable informal
ton yet given regarding spring trade
prospects, gained through direct state
mcnts from wholesale merchants
AS New York largely controls the
markets of the Northern States and,
to some extent, Of the whole United
States, the first stir in the great
VI holcsalc houses of that city, after
the alternating season, is sure
prognosticatiom of the dimensions of
the spring trade.
The dry goods men do not antici-
pate large demand, but are conf
dent of doing fair and safe business.
The South is not in a condition TO
make large purchases, while in the
West there is plenty Of money
and evidence of a good trade from
that section. A fair trade is always
expected from the Middle States,
though the stagnation Of IRON and
coal industries will seriously reduce
the purchases. An excellent jobbing
trade is anticipated as the stock in
The hands of retailers is generally low.
On account OF. the severe winter i'm
portatiuns have dwindled away and
importers are figuring upon lively
spring trade.
A large number of commission
merchants and jobbers who were in
tcryiewed " ere almost unanimous in
the opinion that the spring business
would he good, safe and fairly profit
able. There will be little or no spec
ulation, and ther, fore, transactions
can generally be depended upon as
sound, financially. The forwarders
Of merchandise report but little stir
in their department. The lingering
winter retards spring trade, and this
Tact is regarded as favorable, for mer-
chants will be able to dispose of q
large portion Of the winter stock
which is usually left upon their hands,

AFTER DARK IN THE ABBEY

1t was the 4th of December, 1873,
at quarter-past four in the after
noon, when l strolled into Westmins-
ter Abbey. l had no thought in go
ing there but to stroll. just as l en-
tered-inharmoniously, l admit
took out purse from my pocket and
counted three or four banknotes. l
ought not to have done this. West.
minister is not a bank; and though !,
good deal is done in Westminster
Abbey which might be done more
appropriately elsewhere, and good
deal is not done which the nature of
the place might suggest as religious
ly fit, still, counting bank-notes is
decidedly out of keeping with the
original idea of Il church. My only
excuse was, that as every one in the
building seemed to have gone there
for non-devotional purposes, it could
make no great difference if assumed
tor an axiom what others merely took
for a postulate. BE this as it may,
just as was counting my notes,
through some suspicion that had
lost one OH the road, l observed a
most respectable old gentleman stand
ing within half dozen yards of me
and taking keen cognizancc of my
money. But let this fact pass. The
old gentleman passed. And VIZ.
him there went from my memory all
recollections of his gaze.
then strolled round the Abbey.
"Johannes Smith, armiger, Smith
oruIE Lincolniensium oriundus," was
an inscription that engaged my atten-
ton. "omithorum," but neither of
the two could be said to individualize
the particlar identity of Smith. There
was play left for fancy as to "Smithi,' y
even with the narrowing of the
country, and wondered whether that
ancient Roman family had originally
come over with Caesar.
As | pondcrcd these matters, l
noticed. almost touching me, a gentle
man aged perhaps sixty. On Il sec
ond glance satisfied my inquiry that
it was the same gentleman who had
looked at my notes. But this did
not matter. The gentleman whoever
he may be, had u right both to look
at my notes and at other objects OF
interest i'll the Abbey. But at this
particular moment he was not look
ing at my notes. His countenancc
was uplitted with view to the mon
umcnts, especially to the monument
Of "Smith." He had very white hair.
He wore heavy gold spectacles. His
spectacles were of that demonstrative
kind which throws the rest of the
toilet into the shade. 1t is the prov.
ince of gold spectaclcs to obscure
every detail of even the best-dressed
and most distinguished of men; and
there are some gold spectacles in
particular which do this, such as those
which the Shah wore in London.
The gentleman in the Abbey had
this class of spectacles. They be-
tokened mind accustomed to think
and eyes that even needed repose.
Less an ornament than meant for real
use, they suggested library and
tones. They had, too, bulk that
was costly. The gentleman himself
looked costly. His spectacles and
himself were on apar-pre-eminently
financial and sound.
He wore blue coat. 1t was but
toned up to the throat A white tie
of immaculate purity surmounted the
very blue coat. Pantaloons of in
disputable newness perfected the

;nid will tltus bc in better condition
to buy spring goods. Nam. Southern
merchants re"afa! the severe winter
almost proyiaential on this account.
Wool d '..lers are somewhat IN doubt
regarding their spring opening but
are mainly sanguinc Of a good, steady
trade. The manufacturers OF WOODEN
goods are doing an exceedingly care
lul usiness. Many looms have ccas-
ed operating during the winter, bu:
with the spring clip, and importation
OF foreign woods, it is expected that
every spindle will be set buzzing.
Grocery firms show a decided dis
position to talk ironical y Of Con
grcss. Many of them expressed a
determination to make no move until
Congress had adjourned sine die,
thus rendering itself capable of fur
ther injury. The restoration of duties
has caused falling off in the trade.
1t was expected that the jobbers and
retailers would make II grand rush
for supplies i'll anticipation of a revi-
val of duties, but it now seems that
they had no faith in the apparent de-
termination of Congress to increase
the revenue by this means, and were,
therefore, Indifferent about making
purchases. In the tea trade there has
been considerable speculation on the
part of some who felt sure of the res
toration of the duty, but little was
done by the regular dealers. The
trade hitherto almost entirely has
been confined to supplying the tenn
porary want of customers. With the
return of better weather and the re-
sumption of Western traffic the gro
GERS anticipate a good demand and a
profitable business.
The hardware dealers do not antic-
ipate a very fiourishing spring trade.
The attendance of buyers is promis-
ing, however, and the demand for
staple goods will be steady. The
iron and metal business is dull, and
many manufacturers are holding their
stock for higher prices, expecting that
the strikes of laborers in coal mines
and iron mills will give the product
an upward tendency. Representa-
ti> es Of the drug and chemical trade
are not sanguine of more than mod
crate business. The fish and oil trade
has been dull but is growing better
daily. The tobacco outlook is not
all encouraging. The imposition of
the higher tax will have the effect
to lessen trade rather than to in
crease it.
BY these deductions from the opin-
ions ofrepresentative wholesale houses
in New York, it will be seen that
only moderate spring trade is antic-
ipa,ed. There is a remarkable una
nimity of sentiment among them, and
the correctness Of their Judgment is.
therefore, the more to he relied upon.
One thing is evident. that merchants
and business men of all classes will
make few ventures, and depend upon
careful. steady, safe business for
livelihood and profits. Credit will
be given only when it is safe to do
so. This is sure way to restore
business to sound and legitimate
basis. Another year of care and
economy and the vices which follow
ed upon years of recklessness and
speculation will be largely corrected,
and the whole country will be better
for the ordeal through which it has
passed.
