Cruelty to Animals.

Efforts are being made in Bridgeport to start a society to punish those who abuse dumb animals, and we hope the effort will be crowned with success. Such a society should be in every town and city in the State. It was only recently that we saw a doctor, residing in a town not many miles away. cruelty beat his horses in public street. over the head with the butt end of whip. The action of the man and the fearful blows. caused people to stop and look. We stopped and looked also, and remarked that the man ought to be arrested for such cruelty; 8 boy stand ing at our side, said: 70, that is nothing new for Dr. - to do; I have seen him do the same thing often." The State has provided 8 law against cruelty to animals. but 1t is rarely enforced. Horses are driven that are unfit for work, and a thousand hardships inflicted upon tn e poor animals that ought not to be per- mitted. Let each town move in the mat ter, and get the legislature to charter societies, and protect such societies in the discharge of their duties. Let there be officers in the town whose duty it shall be to look after all violations of the law in this direction. and as 6 people we would do praiseworthy act.

Occidental Hotel.

During a brief visit to New York city last week, we had the pleasure of form- ing the acquaintance of c. L. Chase, pro- prietor of the above-named hotel, and c. L. Johnson, clerk and bookkeeper,
 both of whom are natives of Connecticut; :; Mr. Chase is from Litchfield, and MT. Johnson from New Britain. This hotel is sitdated on Broome street, corner of the Bowery, and is only few steps from the Grand street station of the Elevated railroad, easily reached by the Third and Fourth avenue cars. The hotel is coA- ducted on the European plan, and is, in our judgment, the cleanest and most thoroughly systematically conducted hotel of the kind In the city. The rooms are pleasant, and prices range: single rooms, 5Oc., 75c. and $1 .00 per day; fami- | ly rooms, s1.50 to $500 per day. One | quiet that seems to prevail, and if guests cannot sleep, the fault is not in the man. agement or the employees. There is no rushing about, or loud talking and stamp ing of feet. A visitor when in the city, desiring to have good accommodations, will find the Occidental Hotel to be as we represent 1t. To the hotel is attached q first-class restaurant, and corps oi walters that are polite and attentive. and the prices for what you order, and that which you receive, as cheap and as good as In any hotel Give the Occidental Hotel a trial and you will not regret it.

AmPUTATIon OF THE LEG
Within Three Inches of the Hip Joint. Operation performed by Dr. Ken- nedy, of RondOUt, N. X., I'roprt-
 etor of " Favorite Remedy"

MT. Abram Ellsworth, wealthy mer- chant of Port Ewen, Ulster Co.,, N. T., had suffered for more than twenty-five years with disease involving nearly the wholo of the thigh bone, and the suffering man was given up by all the physicians who had attended him, who said there was no help, he must die. Finally Dr. Kennedy, proprietor of ''Favorite Remedy" was con suited, who decided that amputation would save the patient. Dr Kennedy performed the operation, and then gave "Favorite Remedy" to purify the blood, and thus prevent the return of the disease-and MT Ellsworth remains to this day in the bloom of health.
 Are you suffering from any disorder of the Blood, Kidneys, Liver, or Constipation of the Bowels? Then Use Dr. David Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy"
 For all the ills peculiar to Females, old or young, Dr. Kennedy's "Favorite Rem edy" has, and will prove, a perfect blessing.
