Brutal Treatment Of Horses.

Mr.. EDIToR:-A Bergh is needed in
every town of any size in our country.
That an animal possessing the useful
and noble qualities of the horse should
be abused and maltreated, by other ami
mails as far inferior to him although
known as men-as the earth is below
the heavens, is crying disgrace and
crime. Every day, upon our streets may
be seen horses driven to the last extrem-
ity of endurance, but still doing their
best to obey the command or lash Of
some drunken dog, who, in the inscruta-
BILE providence Of God, has been permit
ted to become their driver or owner.
No living thing, be it man or beast, so
we'll appreciates kind treatment as the
horse. 1t is doubtful whether what is
called an ugly horse ever existed except
as the result of ugly management. OF
late, an important fact relating to the
anatomy Of the horse has been publish
ed, fact which we think is not by all
understood. Careful dissection shows
that not particle of air can enter or
escape from the lungs by way of the
mouth; the breathing is entirely through
the nostrils. Only the other day, boy
on our streets was flashing horse, with
the halter slip-noosed over the nostrils!
The suffering animal was struggling for
breath, and trying to reach, when thus
treated, impossible speed Talmadge
said man who would abuse horse
ought to be kicked by mule, but even
this means Of retaliation is not possess
ed by the horse to justifable extent
If the power of speech was given the
animal in question, revelation Of bru-
tally would be heard such as the imag-
ination cannot reach. There are many
evils in our boosted civilization, and this
one is not the least. If there is no one
who chooses to take hold of the matter
by enforcing the law, we would favor a
society organization for the purpose:
Yours e.

Busincss---Dr Observation-Disclosures and Supper.

RowLEY, Iowa, Dec 2, '78.
ED. MISUNDERSTANDING perhaps a
few lines from Rowley would be read
by your readers with some interest. l
will proceed to jot them.
Business is rather lively just now, in
the way of hogs and corn. J. |. Prem
tiss, our enterprising grain and stock
dealer, has cribbed about 10000 bushels
Of corn already, and ships from three
to six carloads of hogs week. f. M.
Boies, successor to J. W. Cooper, is do
ing good business in his line. Thad
Stotes, formerly of Winthrop, does a
general hardware business and wagon
repair work. j. B. Edgell also does a
good business in his line drugs and
groceries. Being somewhat crippled in
his business relations, he cannot do as
he would, but as he can.
The Quasqueton Dramatic Club gave
us very good entertainment last Mon
day evening. The plays were "Ten
Ni5hts in a Barroom," and the Two
Puddifoots."
We are to have a grand old rally on
the 18th inst Elder Keller, Of Cedar
Falls, will be here to deliver a lecture,
and supper is to be given at
the hotel. Subject of lecture: MAR
rage and Divorce: What Makes Home
Happy" Elder Jones told us, yes
terday, that he would write out a
notice, and have it put in his city pa
per, and he said that the circulation Of
that mammoth sheet was SO great that
it would be known all over this county
that DR.. Keller was going to lecture in
Rowley, and that there would be supper
prepared at the hotel for everybody in
the land, at 70 cents per couple.
Yours Respectfully,
JOTTER.

Words Fifty Spoken.

The following, from the Des Moines
Register, has the merit of truth and
timeliness. The Register might have
said, however, that the greater number
of the country printing Offices in Iowa
do better work and furnish better stock
than the raiders who go about pretend
ing to underbid them:
The local papers Of the State are
pretty generally scoring the drummers
of foreign printing houses that raid their
prospective towns and under-bid for
printing. The people of such localities,
who patronize outside institutions,
must have very little local pride or
home spirit Their local paper works
for them, and that good turn deserves
return. Give your home papers all
your patronage. and they will soon be
able to do as good and as fine work as
any printing office in the world can do.
Indeed, the most of them can do it now.
He is poor citizen and mean-spirit-
ed neighbor who asks and receives the
support of his local paper for every
project and interest he has, and yet
does not reciprocate with the patronage
he has in the line of printing. This is
sort of robbery that is both little and
mean. These are the right fellows for
the local press to score, and they can
hardly be treated for it too constantly
Or foo severely

ADAMS THE WALKIsT-Theodore
Adams, whom others elsewhere have
dubbed Prof." returned to DEBORAH
last Saturday. During his absence he
has walked in West Union, Independ-
ence. Waterloo, Cedar Falls and Waiver

pendence: so miles in hours and AZ
minutes; but at West Union, last week,
he made % miles in 4 hours and %
minutes. His fastest mile is in min
utes; slowest, 31:3O. The match else

Union, ended in loss by Adams, on
account of bad shoes. But by consent
it was called draw, to be repeated in

INDEPENDENCE, Dec

EDITOR BULLETIN:-Some time since,
| placed bill Of $14 in the hands Of a
prominent attorney in this city, for col
lection. The bill was against Mr.. E. c.
Giffin, of this county. The attorney,
Mr.. H., told me he would collect the
bill, and charge me $100 for the same.
In the course of time, he did make the
collection, successfully, and when |
came to settle with him, he charged me
S. 90 for his services. Is this profess
sional? M. HAYE.

FATHER JOHN L. GosKER, pastor of
St. Johns Catholic Church, of this
city. has been removed to the parish in
New Hampton, Chickasaw county, and
the pastor of that church, Father Burke,
is assigned to this parish. We under
stand that the cause Of this change is
expediency. The church here is labor
ing under heavy burden of indebted
ness, and it is thought that the new
pastor, Father Burke, can remove this
much faster than the old pastor, by Sc.
curing the aid and cooperation of the
entire church. Father Gosker has been
in charge here for a number of years
and the popular verdict is that he is a
good man, kind friend to all in dis
tress, and a conscientious mentor. A
petition was sent to Bishop Hennessy
to reconsider the order for the change
but, for the reasons given above, the
petition was not granted. While there
may have been errors made by Father
John, we think there is no one unchar-
liable enough to believe they were any
thing else but errors of judgment
and not of purpose. We print in
another column, an article from the
New Hampton Courier, complimentary
to the new pastor of St. Johns Church
He took charge of the services last
Sunday and impressed all who heard
him with a sense of his peculiar fitness
for the position.

THE skating rink, which was mention.

THE Skating rink, which was mention
ed last week, is rapidly progressing.
The building is enclosed, and only few
days more will suffice to complete it.
Soon as the weather is cold enough, it
will be overfowed, and then it will be
ready for the merry skaters. About %
or 80 season tickets have been sold,
which is only about half as many as the
managers had hoped to get.
