An expressman driving a decrepit sorrel
horse undertook to convey party of three
people, arrivals by rail from Woodland, to
Fourth and streets. The horse which is
a mere rack of bones, could not pull the
wagon and its load over the R-street levee,
and, after the passengers got out, had to be
whipped to muster life enough 10 haul the
wagon and trunk over, falling upon his
knees at one time in bis efforts. People in
| the neighborhood are loud in their express
sion of opinion that it is cruelty to animals
to make such horse do duty. The poor
beast is said to have been sold by the
Poundmaster some time ago for $40, and
! Cinnamon who subsequently got him could
do nothing with him and turned him out.
