The second trial of the Messrs. Smith
Bros, charged with cruelty to animals
held before Squire Palmer Tuesday
1t appeared that the tsam had stuck in
the mud in one of the city's beautiful
streets without bottom, and in at
tempting to pull out the young men had
"paddled" the mules rather severely.
The jury returned verdict of guilty,
recommending the lightest penalty
prescribed If the authorities show the
same zeal in all cases as in this, and re-
pairs are not soon made on many streets
in the city, there will be few teamst9rs

A member of the Connecticut legisla-
ture, Mr.. Main, of North Stonington,
has achieved fame by gravely declaring,
in open session of the house, that
"eagles get their teeth into everything
they can lay their hands on" This
terrible arraignment of Freedoms pet
was part of speech. much of it equally
vigorous, in which Mr.. Main besought
his Acknowledgement, in the name Of
their imperiled turkeys and geese, not
to pass bill imposing on anybody who
kills an eagle within the boundaries of
Connecticut a fine of $25. His eloquence
was wasted, however, for after q long
debate, in which several rural solons adj
vocated the destruction of eagles, the
bill was carried by a good majority. One
speaker made the rather interesting
revelation that the proposed law was
drafted by AN able lawyer for the pur-
pose of preventing New York sports
men from coming into Litchtield county
and killing eagles for the sake of the
500 apiece they can get for the dead
birds from metropolitan taxidermists." !"
