Wellington Republican: There is
certain man in the east part Of town who
is either too lazy or too much like a
brute himself to prepare a decent shelter
for his stock during Winters coolest
blasts. During the recent severe storm,
which was cold enough to freeze any
thing Of a freezing substance, his COWS
were compelled to stand to a post out in
the storm where it would seem the cold
north wind would blow clear through
them, and his horses which are now tit
subjects Tor the bone yard had compare
lively no shelter at all. We hardly ever
speak in such harsh terms Of anyone, as
we have this time, but if anyone of our
readers think we have oVerstepped the
bounds of prudence, we simply ask them
how they would like to stand tied up to
a post all day and face the cold storm of
last week. We suggest as a remedy to
any one who has so little human about
them as has a man who will permit his
domestic animals to freeze Immediately
under his knowledge, a coat of tar and
feathers, and if he does not then provide
for them shelter, why kill the stock and
put it out of misery.
