men, n standing in the fore legs and
one in the hind legs, each in a slightly

were able to get within less than 40
yards before the geese flew. They few

ANNEXATION.

If the scheme for the annexation
of Hawaii were not already dead,
the publication of the recent census
of the islands would be enough to
kill it. Congress has been at great
pans to devise means of excluding
undesirable additions to our citi-
zenship; it would render these
efforts particularly ridiculous to
make citizens, at one sweep, of a
population composed mainly OF
a states and South Sea barbarians

Mr.. EDITOR. have very
good humane laws in this State
and they are practically enforced,
but we fear that in instances our
officers are a little too relax in
cases. In many cases during this
heated season just now letting up,
horses have been over-worked,
overloaded and over-driven; have
stood in harness too long without
water and in the heat of the sun.
Not many, but there have been
some of the above named abuses to
animals that come under our own
observation, and the above only a
few of the many abuses that dumb
animals have been subjected to. 1t
occurs in other places, however,
than this. Up above Racine is a
man named Pickens who hired
himself, reaper and team out to cut
all the wheat of all the neighbors
he could get to cut on week days,
and then with the same horses
went to harvesting hisown on Sun
day. One of his horses took SICK.
refused to eat or drink on Satur-
day, but was put to work in the
reaper in the intense heat of Sun
day following and being driven
about dropped dead. This was no
lesson to the owner of the faithful
horse, however. He lost another
in a few days from oyer-work. and
then another succumbed, while the
heartless master sits under the
spreading shade trees of his palace
home and gloats over his earnings
and goes unpunished-all this too
in the great State of Ohio. Shame
on such man, he is unworthy of
the name of a farmer. Let us new
er hear of another such case as
the above recited REX.
