That Cow Again.


MEssRs. EDITORS Il hasten to an
swer your charges against me, and tc
say that you and the many witnesses
Mr.. Bird called up to defend his wrong
treatment of the COW merely spoke from
your own standpoint which was that
no amount of cruel treatment could pos
sibly hurt her. 1t was marvellous that
SO many men could step up to the wit.
ness stand and after pledging them
selves to God to speak the truth, un-
blushingly affirm that a pillow line tied
tightly around the tongue and jaw and
then to the foot of the COW could not
hurt her. What has it done for them !?
Allow me to remind you that the only
defendant Of the COW had stated on oath
the following facts: That boy &C.
companied the party; that his hands
were full of stones and that the stones
were thrown at the COW; that she saw
Mr.. Bird stand off and lash repeated ly
and with all his strength the poor
stumbling creature, and that the whip
was heavy one. And again my in
formant stated to me which was the
same as an oath, that on the morning
of the tragedy she saw, and L consider
her eyes much more merciful than
yours, the eyes of the COW looked blurred
and whitened as if injured by the stones
or lash, and it was thought for awhile
she could not live. Again it was stated
on oath that the COW could not shut
her mouth her tongue and throat were
so swollen.
We think it high time our authori-
ties had taken this matter of "trans-
portaton of cattle" seriously into con-
sideration. In New York they have
cattle carts and animals are taken
decently to the slaughter house without
being in the fevered state. ours are,
making every one sick who eats of the
flesh. Independent of the injury to
the animal even a greater wrong is
sustained by any one who treats a
helpless creature as the case now under
consideration. it begets IN the wrong
doer hardened heart and total dis
regard to the divine attribute of mer-
cy.
As in the days of slavery it was not
the African race but the proud Saxon
that was becoming every day more
degraded for the simple reason that the
wrong doer is always the most injured

With great sympathy he said the

would keep the peace of the city. That
there should not be any trespassing on

an answer in a few days. The Rev.

Machinery Hall NO Moro.

f, Machinery Hall which attracted Sc
many visitors to the Centennial Exhi
bition, has disappeared from public
sight, and soon the ground upon
whicu it stood will be returned to its
former state. All that nov remains Of
it is about one. half the floor, q few
piles Of lumber, and some rubbish.
Even the foundation wall which ran
around the building Is gone. The
building was last February purchased
by w. G. Allison & Co., OF Philadel-
phia, for ga, 900, with the understand
ing that it should bs removed by the
lst of June but as the work was huge
one, time was granted them. The firm
have succeeded in selling the material
to excellent advantage. Nearly all the
stone has been purchased for the re-
building Of the recently burned Point
Breeze oil works.
There was over 800, 900 square feet
OF tin, which found ready sale at three
cents per square foot. For the 1000,
600 feet Of flooring plenty of customers
are found willing to pay the, price OF
one cent foot. Not to speak of the
70, 600 panes Of glass (32xls inches in
size) the 100000 pounds of cast iron,
,O90, 900 feet Of white pine roof lum-
ber, 800, 900 pounds OF wrought iron,
the tens of thousands Of feet OF yellow
pine that formed the finish OF the offices
and other parts Of the interior, 1t would
seem that the Investment was anything
but losing one. 1t is estimated that,
without considering the material which
Allison & Co. can utilize or have util
lied at their car works, they will have
net profit of several hundred per
cent. out Of their bargain.

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-After so much un-
necessary argument in regard to that
committee who waited on the Honora-
BILE Mayor Of this city We wish to say
a word in defence Of those intelligent
gentlemen. The writer in Saturday. g
communication on the big quarterly
with all Of his presumption says that
the minister Is out Of his place when
he rebukes one of the most damnable
sabbath breaking sins that are commit.
ted in our CITY. That is this wicked
street traffic that is brought about once
a year by the most ignorant class Of
our people. Buying and selling on the
street on the Sabbath is contrary to di-
vine law. After all that has been said
can any one prove that there has been
anything said or done that minister
who has received his commission from
God should not do2 We answer, no.
Go ye into all the world and preach my
gospel Is the command, and they not
obeying when they say remember the
Sabbath to keep it holy.
So let them cry aloud and spare not.
We bid you God spee1. Stand up for
right and all is we'll. But the man who
will not stand up for right is not want
ed in the church, or out of it. What
can any intelligent people think of
such blind ignorance to set a day apart
for a quarterly meeting to worship
God in spirit and in truth and on God 8
holy day, while the minister is in his
pulpit telling the people to remember
the sabbath day to keep 1t holy while at
the same time and the same hour par
ties outside are buying and selling
melons, tobacco, cigars, beer and many
other articles, and from the conduct Of
some Of them you might add whisky.

are glad to see that day come. Bnt
why +!
Simply to laugh at our ignorance. In
regard to what His Honor the Mayor
will do, we cannot say. Mayor Almond
like all who have preceded him has
taken an oath and sworn to enforce all
the laws for the government of this city.
All We ask is that he will do his duty
in this case, and those who violate the
law let them be punished. Let them
have all the meetings they wish, but
we do not want them to interfere with
any regular services. There is not a
Methodist church in this city or State
hut what has its quarterly meetings,
but they do not have any buying and
selling on the streets. Go on and have
your meetings and may God bless you,
but by all means do not have any sell.

Death Of Horace Wheeler. ESQ.

Our aged and well-known townsman,
Horace Wheeler, Esq, died suddenly Thurs
day Dec. 4th, under the following circum-
stances: Wednesday night he returned from
New York (whither he went just before
Thanksgiving, to participate in a family
reunion) in his usual excellent health and the
best of spirits. At about o'clock Thursday
morning he had occasion to rise and was soon
heard by his daughter, Miss Caroline, groan-
ing as if in great pain. She at once went to his
assistance and found him in mortal agony.
| Summoning Mr.. Pettengill of the Park
House they placed Mr.. Wheeler upon the
bed, when, uttering one groan, he expired.
A physician was at once called, who as
cribed his death to rupture of blood
vessel
Mr. Wheeler had reached the great age of
eighty eight years, but so Juvenile were his
looks and so active his habits that he could
easily pass for at least a score of years
younger. For many years his face has been
familiar one upon our Streets and his
sudden death will he hcardwi tn general sur
