Mr.. EditOr,-It greves US very much to
irritate a running sore, or in any way to
harrow up the feelings of those who con-
scientiously tried to do their duty, acting
lin good faith and under OATH" But, in
asmuch as the late case of the state OF
Vermont VS.. Geo. Wilson for abusing his
horse has entered the field of newspaper
discussion. we feel it just, to state that 1t
did appear in evidence that the respond
ent did on several occasions unreasonably
beat the said horse, and that, on his own
testimony under oath. in the presence OF
court, jurors and large assembly of our
towns people, he stated he beat the horse
at different times with trace chain. We do
not know but such things are right; we
realize we are ignorant; we were not in
formed that the law justifies such proceed
ings on the part of genus homo, whatever
might be the provocatiOn on the part of
Mr. Horse. Now the fact is. Mr.. Editor,
very many of our best and most law
abiding citizens feel indignant that such
open violatian of law and justice should
be tolerated in civilized community.
We are sorry; we blush to have it known;
we say these things with the fullest re-
| spect for the respondent and those who
sat upon the case, not exp. citing it Will
make one hair white or black; we only
wish to nave it known that We are not al
together a bArbarous community, and that
we do not consider 1t proper thing to
do to fog dumb beasts with cudSels and
trace CHAINS, although powerless to help
| ourselves. w. X. ANNIs, SEN.
