Brunswick, Ga, Nov 30.-The hypnotist
holiness preacher has forsaken Glynn

The Htuiterd0n Democrat remarks:
'Ddving horses to death by heartless,
british drivers, who either do not know
or do not care when horse has been
over-driyen, is becoming altogether too
frequent in this pait of New Jersey. 1t
is but a short time since Mr.. Veit, our
liveryman here, had horse driven to
death and another almost killed, aud now
comes the report from LambertvilIe that
liveryman John Schenck last Sunday, the
4th, experienced the same kind Of "a loss.
Four men, in two seated carriage, drove
this poor horse, on a hot day like the
Fourth, over twenty three miles in two
and hall hours, and Mr. Schenk was
left to find his horse dead In the road near
home. We are Informed by Col. l.. s.
Edwards, the head Of the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals In this
State, that such cases are the hardest the
society has to make case against, owing
to the fact that the owners OF the horses
generally settle with the inhumsn wretch
who drives the horse to death. The law
should be amended -
