Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

Our readers may have noticed a grain wagon which passes frequently through Washington street, drawn by three beautiful grey horses. This morning, the driver, who it seems is a very passionate man, after whipping the noble animal that worked at the thills in a most cruel and barbarous manner with the lash, struck a blow on the temple with the heavy butt of the whip handle, felled the horse to the ground and instantly killed him. The wagon and horses belonged to Mr. Elisha Wheeler, who was offered $300 for the one that was killed, only last week. The driver we learn, has been apprehended and carried to the Police Court.-Transcript.
