Letters From the People
That Ox-Shooting Again.
To the Editor of The News:-


 We are taking little space in your paper this week relative to visit State Agent Wells of the Connecticut Humane Society made at the farm of H. c. Allyn of East Canaan, on June 4, and also would say word in reply to a state ment Jo Allyn made to you about the killing of the $l50 OK.
 State Agent Wells, of Hartford, came to Canaan and drove with him to the Allyn farm in response to a complaint that Allyn had an OK dying ln his barn. yard, where he had been for 10 days or more. in the rain and cold, and that ought to be killed to get him out of his misery. We found the OK as described, MT. Wells saying it was the worst case he had ever met ln his practice. It was the poorest creature 1 ever saw breath ing. We found Mr. Allyn and he had the choice of prosecution or the lmme- diate killing of the OK. He very willing. ly chose the shooting of the OK. MT. Wells fired three bullets ill the head but as he did not die instantly, Lou Allyn called for the gun, saying, Il will finish him. The shot proved s good one, Lou saying, That fixed him''-and it did.
 This talk about Wells murdering the OK is false from beginning to end. Jo Allyn knows nothing whatever about the case, only what he had heard. The OK had never been sick minute. Allyn said so. He said he thought he had been hit on the back with a club, or stone. The OK had been starved to death, and his brother OK, which is up there now, is in about as bad condition. He is not worth $1O. Go up and ask Allyn to show him to you. Allyn said he had several cows die this spring.
 These are the facts in thls shooting case in every particular.
 A. P. BRIGGS, Local Agent.

LIFE'S LITTLE DAY.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WAIT

It is morn, and the sun ascending,
 GreetS the day with its beams of light ; Kissing the darkness, it transforms it
 Into pictures that charm our sight. It is noon, and the glare and glitter
 Dazzle all of the world below; Hustle, hustle, they crowd and rustic
 In the scurrying to and fro. It is night and all labor's ended
 Homeward vending with eager feet; Tired and foot sore, worn and weary,
 Glad of night with its rest so sweet.
