Barbarity OF Indian Butchers.

The Indian papers are constantly de-
claiming against the practice among the
native butchers of skinning goats alive,
and the imperfect appreciation of the
barbarity Of this practice evinced by
native magistrates. In one case recent.
ly the offense was punished by fine OF
twenty rupees, and in another by fine
of twenty-five; and, as has been NOR
than once pointed out, such sentences
are hopelessly inadequate to stop the
evil, since the fines are covered over
and over again BY the additional value
which haying alive gives to the skins.
/ suspect that the native magistrate,
like the native butcher, will never be
got to look at cruelty to animals as a
European looks at it. The most effect.
ual means of eradicating this form OF
bsrbarity would be to establish public
akattoirs, and restrict the slaugh terinR

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, June 14.-At least
half million dollars worth of property
was destroyed in this city and vicinity
last night. Never since 1857, when the
waters rose and overwhelmed nearly all
Rockford, has such a disastrous flood
visited this section as that of last even

torrents, vivid lightning played, and
following each flash came terrific peals
of thunder. The storm commenced
about $50 o'clock, and in surprising
space of time every street was turbu-
lent river. The creeks swelled, and in
moment devastating floods were
sweeping through Kent and Keith
creek valleys. Each creek drains an
immense area of territory and from
every side came contributions to the
waters rNtil the creeks had become de-
structiVe torrents. Families were driv-
en- from their homes. The property de-
stroyed will amount to at least $500, 900.
