DAYS old Some take them away from
the cows on Saturday morning, carry
them to the depots, put them In yards out
of doors, or into box or cattle cars, and
let them remain till Sunday night or Mon
day morning, thence to be shipped to
market, where they arrive on Tuesday.
Some time later, if they do not die on
their own account, they are slaughtered
They have no food except little hay
which they can not eat, and no drink from,
say, Saturday morning until they are
killed on Tuesday night or wednesday
They then 90 into the markets and are
sold for tender veal. There ought to be
some custom or law which forbids the
loading or shipping of live stock on Mon
day in New England. In order to ship
on this day of the week shippers are Ell
Their compelled to do their work on Sun
day, or to starve the animals that are
brought in earlier. Where are the humane
women? Where is the society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals?
Luther Fairprother was taken to the
Work House in Rutland on Thursday last
for drunkenness. He has become bad
victim of the rum habit. Only few
years since he was steady, had worked
up good business, had good start in
life. a pleasant family and brighter pros
poets than the average young man. He
began his tipping in small beers and
weak drinks which he sold in his grocery.
The drinking habit grew on him until his
reputation, his business and much of his
property had gone. From time to time
he has been arrested and fined, promising
always to quit his drinking and his dab
bling in liquor then and there. He has
had the advice and the pity of friends and
neighbors, but has needed neither the les
| sons of the law, the advice of friends nor
the destruction that stared him plainly in
| the face. He goes where he will be kept
| from the use of rum and where he will
| feel the rigors of the law. 1t is hoped
that the lesson will be such that he will
return a better and stronger man. The
| lesson which this sad example is teaching
ought to come home to some others, who
have started down the path that Fair
brother took only few years ago, which
leads to shame, poverty and sure destruc-
ton. viii they heed it?
