Much complaint has been made to the
local authorities and to the Humane soci-
ETY. in Burlington, regarding the poor
condition of certain farm teams in this
vicinity As result of the complaints,
one man was fined last Saturday SO and
costs of prosecution for using his horse
!
horse, which was very old one and un-
able to eat hay, hitched in beside another
and was trying, with the aid of heavy
stick, to do his blowing. This party con-
cluded to surrender the horse to the au-
thorities for destruction, and the horse
was put out of its miseries, and the fine
RENTED to the farmer, who is poor
man. Another farmer was brought in
Monday and find $40 and costs, which he
paid, for using pair of horses that were
the poorest seen in this vicinity for many
day. One was comparatively young
horse and the other somewhat older, but
both of them able to eat and willing to
when they could get it. This party paid
his fine and took his team home, and un-
derstands that more judgment awaits him
if he persists in using the horses in their
present condition. Others who do not
reside in this town will be looked after
by the authorities if they persist in driv-
ing into this village with these poor old
horses that ought not to be used any
