To the Editor of Thk Register : Sir : - A communication in your columns not long since concerning the proper treatment of dumb arrimáis, ought to have called forth a warmer response f rom your readers than it apparently received. There is abundant need of both interest and action in this direction. A high degree of civilization and refinement is marked no less certainly by the humane treatment of animáis, than by the kindly care of helpless fellow beings. There are cruelties daily practiced in cur city that ought to be impoBsible in a com munity of churches and active morality. This is a que8iion - not alone of sentiment and sympathy, but of moráis, and the moral health of the community. Like the Spanigh buil fights, the modern cocking main, the dog fight, and the nlugging ring, are brutalizing io their tendency, while the over-checking, under-feeding, and over-working of many horses seen on our streetg are hostile to healthy moráis A sick horse lying in a ditch all day uncared for, as related in your issue of two weeks ago, is not an edifying epectacle nor a refining event. There is plenty of work for a Humane society in this, as in any town of 10,00( people. The laws are ampie and adequate for the work of such an organization. I is believed that many would heartili enter into such a movement. Let us hav" action.
