In Ohlesgo, thion undor the control of tho old Bonrd, tho lymphatio -Brows, tho; phlegmétio Gund, ond: tho dogmatio Tite-: worth, no effort was made to carry, out tho law. Tho pollcomon did not troublo thomsolyos about it, ofther bocauso thoy woro nnturally. dlsinolined to tako .troublo, becauso, thoy did not want Lo glve offonso to n porson who was maltreating an animal, or becauso thoy Baw wothing wrong in tho mattor. 'Thus; onmco upon a time, » horsa wne sunslrnck on Tywonty-ninth stroot, ond absndoned DLy lis owner to die of hungornud thirst. The animal lay_thero for somo timo, partly supplied with food and wator by the woman and olildren who lived in tho vicinity. It finally dled thora, but not until ita oyes hind boon enton out by insocls. A pe- Yiceman on that bent had Lia ottention called to +ho matter, but doclined to tako any nolice of it, Tost ho might offond thoownor of thosnimal, pro- forring to outrago tho sonsibilities of the public. ‘Ho evon dactiued, for Lua samo resson, to toatify an tho ease.

Then ho went to tho man and soked him if he owned the horeo. Ho said ho did. Wos ho going toleavo himthere? Yos, ho ‘was, If ho could stand it, ho should think the community could. Tho horse bad cost him $176.

Ho askod who swould pay him, whereupon tho oficor callod his attention to the law, and asked if the, stock waa_not good for tho foddor. Tho man thought it was, and attouded to the shoop, Presently the owner came in, vory angry, and wantad to know who had boon fooding his shoep, and what right hobad to do it, for the sheop ha ocost more than they wore worth already. Ho, too, was sorved with a copy of tho Ja, read it, and Snally camo to tho conclusion that it was n good “‘i“fi' Anothor porson at tha s2mo place had somo slicop, aud o lamb jumpod tho pon.

After it was all oAer, the owner, who had learned to respect the law, admitted that he bad boen servod about xight. Only a few doys ago a hog broke away from the drove. It was caught, and one man Lold it, while another sof on a bull-dog to bito it, ‘which nmusement Instod till it was partly caten up.
