Over 800 veterinary surgeons have
signed paper condemning tight
check reins, so painful to horses
and causing distortion of the
wiudpipe to such degree as to inn
pede respiration. Paralysis of the
muscles of the face, megrims, apo
plexy, coma and inflammation are
some of the results. BY holding
the head upward it puts the muscles
of the neck on n constant strain and
exposes the eye to the direct rays of
the sun.

Bro. Focht of the Lewisburg Sat.
wday Ne,cS calls us Capt. Tom
Harter." As we were n kid OF only
six years when the war broke out it
is well understood that we never
cooked cannon or saw any smoke
save that which came from friend
ly chimney. True, we did command
a company of little ragamuflins in
the alley at one time. They carried
wooden guns, beat coffee pots for
drums, and looked as fierce as a
squadron of Russian Hussars. II
that entities us to this rank of dis
tinction all well and good.
1t may not be known to hucksters
and store keepers generally, that it
is u violation of the law to ship live
poultry in cramped or crowded
condition, and that agents for pre-
vention of cruelty to animals are
constantly on the alert and will
arrest any one who may be guilty of
the offence. On Friday of last week,
agent Thomas S. Carlisle, of Phila-
delphia, was in Port Royal after an
offending shipper from that point,
but after promise on the part of
the accused "to do so no more" he
was allowed to depart, somewhat
the wiser after his acquaintance
with the state agent.
There can be no genuine reforma-
tion in the public service so long as
men of character and influence exert
themselves to put unworthy, unprin-
cipled and characterless individuals
into office, be the same high or low.
1t is all right to show kindness and
solicitude for individuals who have
repented of their foibles and evil
ways, but to put fellows into Office
simply to 'get md of them and get
them started in the path of recti-
tude," must be regarded as bad
policy, viewed from the most liberal
standpoin. If practiced to a con
siderable extent, the public service
would soon degenerate into dump
ing ground for worthless fellows
who have no sort of standing in the
community, and general cussedness
would in time be adiudged a pass
port to public favor. The idea that
public Office is public trust cannot
be too often nor too strongly i'm
pressed upon the minds of right
thinking people.
