Rev. Father Nolan, of this village. many of whose parishioners are among ‘ ’ F H the victims ot the railway Company’s . ‘ rapacity, is naturally very indignant at a L u the treatment they are receiving, and is - ’ de'ermincd to see whether something cannot be done for their relief. The treights are not only “'all the traflic will bear,” but a good deal more too; and it appears improbable-that the Com- . - ’ pany will persist in a- course that will E a l materially diminish the business of the line. Should they do so, steps should be at once taken to ascertain whether the I. B. 86 02'. R.

Check-Reins» A correspondent of the Lakeficld News inveighs bitterly against “ tight check- .i-eins,” by which. we suppose, he means 'the cruel over-draw checks to be seen on the great majority of horses not ’ ! hitched to heavy loads. In some places a g i ' .it is illegal to use these checks and they 6 I & “I ought to be forbidden everywhere. It is an exaggeration to say, as some ex- tremists do, that they inflict “ torture” upon the horses to which they are ap- plied ;.but there can be no doubt at all that they are a source of constant irri- tation to the unfortunate animals, fre- quently becoming absolutely painful, and are calculated to inflict injury upon 'the muscles of the neck. A common If you want it SUIT on OVERGOAT before Chrlstmfls excuse fer their use is- that some horses ‘ ‘ ‘ - . .‘ cannot be driven without them, which leave your order With us as soon as. possible. we beg ,eave to doubt; and we have no recollection of ever having heard of colts . _ ‘ being killed because they couldn’t be a driven before the ever-draw check-line ' N was invented. The fact that these I I checks are never put upon heavy draught horses is sufficient proof that their only use is to make the horses upon which 'they are inflicted carry their heads a little higher than they would otherwise .do; and the other facts that they are in constant misery, that they cannot see ground near their feet, and that they are apt. to cut their mouths if they stumble, all go for nothing. In Our Dumb Animals, the exccllent little pub- lication printed in Boston by the Mas- sachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, we have more than once seen it stated that many American gentlemen new drive their horses, or have them driven. without either check- lines or blinkcrs, as experience has prov- ed that the animals, having unobstruct- ed vision and the free use of‘thcir heads. are far less likely to take fright and better able to avoid collisions than when they are only allowed to see in front oi them and their heads are forcibly held in an unnatural position- â€"---.vr --â€"- -â€"â€"roa__-.- q..- Fenelon Falls, 10th November, 1896. we ARE Busy.
