 The loose stock on our streets COWS and horses-has become almost an intolerable nuisance. It has become impossible for a eountryman to leave his wagon an instant without having everything in it hauled out by these pests, destroyed and trampled in the mud. While it would look like hard- ship to compel owners of milch cows, horses, &c., to keep them up all the time it IS no less a hardship for coun- trYmen to endure the depredations they suffer from this soucre. Upon the whole, we believe that people who live in town ought to keep their stock off the street.
