Some inhuman brute tied 3 poor little dog

DAYS ago, with a wire, and left 1t there to die
of starvation. Mr.. Blackwell heard Its cries
and humsnely went to its relief. He now

the fellow who perpetrated the cruelty. We
hardly know, unless it would be to feed him
on salt pork for q week, and then tie him out
in the sun for two or three days without
water or food. He might then come to un-
derstand how the other dog felt under IKE
circumstances.

work can overcome these difficulties, but
q will take a good deal of both.
