Friend 70 dumb animals, shs Well,
yes. We dislIke to see them missreated
for trivial offences. 20 speak 90. Sup
pose you hid number Of young turkeys
and your next door neighbor's dog killed

Would You think it sin 20 summarily
deal with the animal, that II, kin it ?
True, ne killing mentioned would be 20

provoking our spirit and possibly we
would ask that the dog be cared for, that

Dogs possess no elective or counteracs-
Ing power. IL frequently occurs in the
training Of young dogs that they are
taught to keep fowls from annoying
near doors or to impede their misehiey-
ous course In gardens. and probably dogs
may exceed their training BY killing the
poultry OF neighboFs. There are other
extenuating circumstances. Il appears
obvious to - that the propensity called
into action, through the impulse OF >
cause, can be nothing more than the ap-
pointed medium through which the dog
Ia directed to its intended end. We are
sorry 70 hear that Mr.. Thomas Pembroke
had several turkeys killed. Surely the
