In order that the friends of the defeuseless and helpleaa may know the extent of tliis evil, and devise measures for their reliet, mentiou is liere made of some of the EXISTINQ CRUKLTIES : Animáis in freezing and starvingcondition, in exponed locallties on the western plains. in the winter season. Animáis po horribly burned on their bodies, tlirough careless branding, as to inakr wounds that never heal. Animáis severely wounded and tortured by clubs and long, sharp ron prods,when beiug loaded on stock cars. Animáis so cruelly Crowded, trani[)led, i u vol, and kept without water, when transportad loug distancet by rail to markct, as to uiake Uieir ment untit for food. Hor.-fs oompelled to endure excrueiating torture by the over-check and other high check-reins, through the iguorauee and ofthoughtlflM drivers. Dogs and oats driven to desperation and maduess from want of water. floran rolned in health and limb throogn being over-loaded, lack of food and improper feeding, Old, gulled, crippled horses ill-fed,overLuaded, and geuerully abused by hard in asters. Cowscompelled through the penurioiifiness of their owners, to run the streets, in many cities and villajes, quenching thirst from mud puddles, pounded by clubs, beatón by stones, and mutilated by dogs, when driven from yards into wlncli U'e animáis forcé themselves bccause of banger, Calvi's with t'eiit tiedand tortured, while being transportad loug distances, in distrnwd position.overroughroads by butchers and others. Fine horses, outrareously high-checked and brutally over-driven by.druuken, careleM and cruel drivers. Pigeons wantouly wounded, mutilated aud allowed to linker hours before death comes to their relief, at shooting touruaments. Hurtes left standing in exposed positions, through severe storui?, without covering. Beuutiful, song, and useful birds needlessly slaughtered by uien and boys for sport. Insects, birds and animáis of various kinds cruelly put to death by thoughtless persons, when a little care would make death less painful. The cruelty and savage instinct aroused by pagillsm, cock and dog righting. The useless, barbarous cruelty inflicted on Imres and foxes in allowlns thcni tobe cbased and hunted by hounds for hours, as l sport. The debasing, cruel effect on children by close conünement at labor, often in dark and unwholesome factories and othcr places. Thecruelties and beatings Inflicted on patiënt, uncomplaining wivee by brutal and drunken husbands. The whippings and abuse endured by boys and glrls who have been given into the charge of coarse and hard masters. The starvation and neglect endured by minnts and sinall chiUlien, when left by their pareuts with those who promUc to care for thcni. Tho privation, distresg and degradatton of little waifs of children, in the streets, wlici often have no one to piotect them. The deplorable condition of the horse, no longer u?eful, turned loose to starve and die; the child. whipped by the heartless paren t; thedlscharged prisoner.whom uo one will employ; the little tired cashboy and cashgirl, that should have been, liours ago, in beu: the liaggard, sunkeneyed, poorly paid sewing woman; the ttarviDg t'amily, that can get no work; and many, many others not here mentioned.
