deal of surprise in the Tuesday Afternoon news
papers the copy of an official communication
addressed to him by Third Auditor Williams,

question: and had not even had any intimaton
of the fact that one was being sent to him un-
| til he read the whole thing in full in the news

unheard of in the history of official correspond

hours after everybody had read it in print
| Immediately upon it, receipt he sat down and
wrote Auditor Villains the following reply;

Horrible cruelty to animals is common

alive, because the skin when removed
from the living creature is considered
more supple, and sells for a somewhat
higher price. Dogs are seized by legal

An OFFENDING Sparrow Punished

An Offending Sparrow Punished.
From the Saratoga Journal.
A low hanging limb of a Broadway
elm was yesterday afternoon the scene
of one. of those violent disturbances so
common to sparrow society. Upward of
a dozen of the highly excitable and quar-
relsome little pests constituted a vigil
ance committee sitting i'll judgment con-
corning the misdeeds of certain hand
some cock sparrow, who in some way
had incurred their sorest displeasure and
Indignation. The chief malefactor bore
with mruffied dignity the general and
bitter denunciation of his behavior. until
debate gave way to action, and under
the combined attacks of angry beaks and
claws he was reduced to n most sorry
plight The onslaught eliminated when
one of the sparrows, burying his beak in
the feathers in close proximity to the Of
tenders eye, held him silently suspended
from the limb for a few seconds, when
he was dropped huttering upon the
ground. Justice having been satisfac-
toriIy meted out, the assemblage glee-
fully dispersed, leaving the crest-fallen
victim TO mediate upon his misdeeds
and their consequences.
