We learn that boy eighteen years old,
the son of Seneca Baker, cOlOred, living
near here, killed horse in the field about a
week ago. He had plOwed the horse until
he was ready TO drop from fatigue, and did
not move exactly to suit the lad, upon which
he actually beat the poor horse To death. This
little, or big, brute in human shape, should
be severely dealt with by the law, and it
would probably learn few others a lesson.
The abuse of stock has got to be quite COM
