WORSE THAN MANSLAUGHTER.

preached by some of the ncighbors. who complained
OF intoerable stencil from the stable in Charles
lane. and on making inquiries he was told that 1t
was the dccaying flesh of horse stin alive which
coal pcdler named James Nesbit had left locked In
stall without food and water for days. He notified
Officer Evans OF the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. and no made invcstiga-
tion of the case. which found to be one OF
peculiar atrocity. Nesbit had purchased tho
animal the 2Gth of July for trifo
account of its being sick and had promised to try
ana restore It, Instead of doing SO, however, lac
had closed the poor beast up and had left without
any thing to eat drink. For days IL had remained
there. noghng pitfully at tines and at length had
sunk from sheer exhaustion. Ono side had been
banked up by manure and dccaying matter, which
last began rotting tho flesh and caused 1t emit
tho stencil which had attracted attention. When
Evans entered the low, tumble-down shed he took
measures to have 1t killed Mt once and put Nesbit
under arrest. The latter was committed by Justice
MURRAY in 81 900 Yesterday.

The burlington and Missouri Railroad in Ne
braska q result of it's competition with the Union
Pacific, has issued circular stating that until fur
ther orders, it will take live stock from Kearney
junction to Plattsmouth, distance of 200 miles,
for nothing.
The managers of tho Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe are confident that their extension to Guaymas,
Mexico. the Gulf of California, will control the
Australian trade. The distance from New York to
Australia, by way Of the new road to Guaymas,
will be 5000 miles, while by way of San Francisco it
is 74OO miles. The distance to several Of the lead
ing ports OF China will also be Iessened by the new
route.
"The crop reports from the West and South, !" says
tho Chronicle. 'are. upon the whole quite favorable
and this presents the promise of large tonnage
the railroads during the nine months from Septem-
ber /, 1879. to June l. $780, which, in connection
with the efficient pooling arrangement on the
trunk lines and the general improvement in merca-
tile business. gives very good prospect of paying
business for the railroads during the next twelve
months. But it is fact worthy Of notice that the
railroads have been doing largo business ever since
the summer OF 1877. and the annual reports lately
ssued-such the Northwest to May 81, 1879;
Texas and Pacific to May 81. 1879; St. Louis and san
Francisco to December b. 1878. and Louisville and
Nashville to June 80 1879--aI show q moderate de-

take home to England to our friends. They tod
they were liable to duty aud they must put them
under seal in the after cabin fearing that We meant
to soil them in this country. To this agrced
but next day a wagon came and took them away. A
certain paper on Monday reported that lot of
Japanese goods seized board the steamship

supposed to be stolen from tho cargo. Tuesday APP

for them and the was ''They cannot be given
