CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

1t has been some time since the old prac-
tice of hiring horses to irresponsible par
ties who aim rather to find the possible
number Of miles which can be covered In
q given time than to reach an objective
point, but fragrant illustration occurred
about ten days ago. While Mr.. Il. De-
Bow, liveryman of Bel Air was absent,
his hostler furnished four youths, How
ard Smithson, John Ritz, John Jackson
and David Ross with two livery teams,
and they proceeded to do up the country,
having first completely done themselves
up with frewater. After driving to
Franklinville, Jericho, Joppa and other
places unknown, they returned the horses
in such an exhausted condition that one
has since died and the other has been un-
fit for use. Smithson, Ritz and Ross have
been apprehended and tried before Justice
Richardson, who sentenced Smithson to
six months in the House ofCorrection and
the latter two appealed to court, furnish
ing 5000 bail for their appearance.
Jackson has not been heard from. If
summary proceedings are always taken
in such cases they will seldom happen.

HoNORS TO A HARTFORD MAN.

We are in receipt of an 81 page edition
of the Sunday Mercury and Herald, pub
lished atSan Jose, California, which does
credit for its size, energy, and general at
Effectiveness to even that marvellous city
We note with extreme satisfaction the
following editorial extract referring to
Mr.. James H. Quinby, who until few
years since resided at Bynum, this coun-
ty, where he was born:
"Mr. James II. Quinby, superintendent
of streets of San Jose, has long been
recognized as a man of the highest integ-
rity, not influenced in his duty by the
game of politics, and one who would fill
to the best of his ability any position to
which he taight be appointed. Perfect
satisfaction has resulted from his connec-
ton with this important office, which
will doubtless continue"
This is in exact keeping with the repu-
tation Mr.. Quinby left behind him in
Hal ford, and we are satisfied it will fol-
low him wherever he goes.

| financial affairs of the county. In this
report we find the committee calling par
ticular attention, first, to the method oil
keeping the books; second, to the lack OF
proper supervision over sales from aims
house; third, to the violation of the Act
of 1896, Chapter 2O4, Section 261, which
provides that the treasurer shall receive
all moneys which may be due the county
from any sources whatsoever and shall
pay all claims against the county; fourth,
to great irregularities and shortage in
the cash; fifth, to great increase in the
expense of maintaining the almshouse;
sixth, to excessive charges by the sheriff;
seventh, to the maintenance of county
patients in the insane asylum.
We have also had before US the report
of the last grand jury. From this report
it seems that a careful investigation was
made into the condition of the County
Commissioners office. Since then two
cases growing out of the investigation
made by the last grand jury have been
tried in court before your hOnors; much
time was given to these trials and many
witnesses were examined, failing in each
case to convict Wehave also had before
us and examined two members of the
committee reporting TO the county lom-
missioners. We have reason to believe
that the County Commissioners, realiz-
ing the Importance of looking more care
fully after the affairs of the county, have
taken steps to correct the evils which
have been so plainly set forth in the re-
port of their committee.
A suit has been docketed against Mr..
Bateman, the late clerk to the County
-
the amount claimed, about $1,000, to
have been received by Mr.. Bateman and
not paid over to the county. 1t is ex-
pected this case will come up at the pres
ent term of court.
The grand jury thanks the court and
its officers for their assistance during
their labors and ask to be discharged.

A Professional Visit.

| My DEAR Mr.. EDITOR:
! Among the many things we, the teachers
of Hartford county, have to thank the
School Commissioners for, is the privilege
of spending a day in some neiRhboring
school. 1t is very beneficial to rub up
against some live teacher, see different
methods and get new ideas. 1t cannot
fail to do us good and we cannot help
doing better work. so the loss of one day
will soon be made up by more live,
earnest work.
| visited the largest school in the coun-
ty on Tuesday oflast week and found
everything working smoothly and on
time. The grounds at this time ofthe year
are not as beautiful as they will be later.
yet they were clean and neat no rubbish
to be seen any where. A few more trees
and some shrubbery would be an improve
ment.
The inside of the building was neat and
clean, and showed great care on the part
of both teachers and pupils. The floors
need good washing, as | suppose does
every school in the county at this time of
the year.
The order was perfect and the atten-
ton of the pupils was excellent, but the
Rotations i'll the higher grades were
marred by the very low voice in which
the pupils recited. A low voice is to be
commended. but it must be clear and loud
enough to be heard. to be enjoyed by
either teacher or pupil. l did not find
this trouble at all in the lower grades.
| was very much pleased with the re-
hearsal of the Arbor Day exercises by the
little folks; the parts were finely carried
out, and the singing was beautiful. Too
much praise cannot be given to those
who can and will give time and effort for
such work.
The manual training department is
certainly doing great work in this
school; the pupils under the guidance of
a very successful teacher are doing such
work as would put to shame many
master mechanics. The accuracy de-
manded in both drawing and execution
cannot fail to make an impression for
good upon the minds of the rising genera
ton of workers.
Much could be said Of the work in
every department of this school. but l
know, Mr. Editor, that your space is
limited. | must say good word for the
caretaker Of the property, known as the
Dean" he, like the rest of the faculty"
is careful, prompt and efficient.
