CRUELTY 10 ANIMALS.

Under an act of assembly it is a
misdemeanor to wantonly and cruel
ly beat, torture, kill or main any
horse or other domestic animal.
Wantonly OF cruelty i'll treating,
overlooking, beating or otherwise
abusing any animal is a misdemean-
or. 1t is also unlawful to engage or
assist in fighting or batting any bull,
bear, dog, cock or other creature.
Carrying animals in vehicles in a
cruel manner, and abandoning any
manned, sick, infirm or disabled
creature to die in a public place are
likewise offenses. Killing pigeons
at a shooting match where needless
suffering is imposed is a violation Of
law. 1t might be difficult in every
case TO draw the exact line where
indiscretion ends and wantonness
begins, because the Judgment or
feeling Of sensitiveness is so variant
in individuals, but generally the
act would indicate in itself the spirit
of the person and whether he was
acting in ignorance or with a deter
mination to infiot injury. Where
the act is Of itself cruel probably it
would be considered wanton even
though done partly in ignorance,
and this would apply more especial

Lightning is playing havoc with
the telephone poles along our new
line. Report says that three have
been struck in the neighborhOod of
1afton. One pole was struck just as
Henry Gumble was passing with his
team on his way to Hawley. The
horses became frightened, broke from
the wagon and ran some distance be-
fore they were stopped. Beyond
breaking the wagon little damage
was done.
The excessive heat has made the
city people long for the balmy breez-
es Of the country. Paupac is fast
becoming filed with them. One
family arrived last week who have
spent every summer, for the past
eighteen years, in this place.

AS TO MOSQUITOES.

Although we have none here and
can return thanks for the absence
of the buzzing pests which destroy
peace of mind and comfort of body,
they abound i'm many places; in fact
there are very few where they do
not, and a little knowledge of some
of the peculiarities of the insect may
be of interest. Observe a healthy,
hungry, bill presenting 'skeeter as
he alights on some part of your an
atomy in search of a meal, and his
first antic will disclose his charac-
ter. If in apparent joy he raises
his hind legs and waves them in the
air do not for a moment think it
simply an indication of his satisfac-
tion at having struck rich blood.
He is a dispenser of malaria aud his
bite is dangerous. If on the con-
trary he keeps all his feet on your
person and goes about the business
of blood letting in a sedate manner
without evi1encing any hilarity
such as above mentioned he is
harmless except for the annoyance
caused by his bite; he is not a
purveyor of malarial microbes.
When the mosquito first inserts his
saw-like bill into your skin he elects
a small amount of poison which is
for the purpose of thinning the
blood so as to make it possible for
him to draw it, 1t is better to let
him fill up for in so doing he ex-
tracts some of the poison, and then
just as he is about to withdraw and
soar away to digest his meal, with a
we'll directed blow of sufficient force
he may perhaps be killed. 1t may
require considerable exercise of
restraint to sit and watch your
tormentor while he drinks his fill
but this, too, is a process which will
tend to strengthen your will power
and so be of mental benefit. Then,
too, the insect will be more helpless
and sluggish when we'll filed and
less able TO elude your blow and al
low it to fall on the place where he
lately was. Noting the above men
toned characteristics will enable
one to know whether the mosquitoes
in given locality are simply harm
less seekers after sustenance OF
whether they are emissaries bearing
dangerous germs of malaria.

The leaves on a number of naples
in town are slowly whitening and
falling. Investigation shows them
to be infested with a small green
louise similar to those often found
on house plants. How far this dep
relation may continue or whether
it will proceed until the trees are
to any great extent denuded and so
seriously injured of course we do
not know, but if there is a probabil-
ity of this being the case it might
be we'll to take steps to prevent it.
Probably spraying might be efflca-
cious. Some one versed in the
habits and with knowledge Of the
character of the little pest which
seems to be doing the mischief
might throw light on the question
as to how long they will live and
multiply. They may disappear
soon as q number were seen to have
developed tiny wings and they may
all soon mature and fly away.

Remember the fair August sth.

Remember the fair August Sth.
Next Sabbath morning Mr.. Ogden
will play for us again ON the cornet.
Many complimentary things have
been said about the service that he
rendered last Sabbath.
The topics for next Sabbath are
"The Message of illumination" and
"Jeroboam, Who Made Israel to
Sin. "
Next Sabbath afternoon the camp
meeting services will begin in the
grove back of the Union school
house. All our friends in town as
we'll as ont of town are invited to
attend
We desire to express our thanks
to Mr.. Wood for his kind offer of
the use of camp stools for the out
door meetings. This will add much
to the comfort of those who attend.
Through the kindness of a friend
four dozen palm leaf fans have been
placed in the pews of the church
We are glad for everything that
adds comfort to the hour of wor-
ship.
During the hot weather the SER
vices at the church will not exceed
an houI. This will give ample time
for meditation and devotion if we
come to Gods house in a worshipful
spirit. If it is necessary for us to
do what we do quickly, let us do il
with our might, with that concen
tration of spirit that shall result in
the largest soul life
