Cruelty to Animals.

(To tho Editor.)

: , ."»"■* *'"'" lcol obliged if you allow me a I brief space in your columns to draw the attention of tho public, of tho Society for Jo' o I'rovcution of Cruelty to Animals, and it* Inspector, Mr Rodgute, to 20 acts of cvuelty committed at .L'lumpton Parkin ti J presence of 800 spectators, including a immbiir of ladies, on Monday, tho 25th tit., m that day.* " royal sport "of hare cmrisiiiK. Everyone knows that tho hare is aii inoftcnrivo animal, and as timid as in olionsivo, and totally without any moans of drtonco; yot here, in this Christian- (?) c.lony, SOO colonists celebrate the birthday ol our Qucon by witnessing twenty ■-; ■: of tho.-o little creatures hunted to floath. I read, "the slaughter was foarful. Only two ooursod hares escaped, and all the tv.'t wcro killed, Numbers dropped dead or became lamo which were not chased at a'l." What mental agony must have been that of thc«o little creatures before a tooth w,is set in them. Submit any member of tho Coun<ing Club to tho hunt of two forocious dogs determined to throttle him, him no weapon of defence, and he will I hiivo an idea of the agony of a hunted hare. Iti agony is so intense that should it escape the hounds, it escapes but to dio from ex c-'omont. Thoro aro some piistimos called uporta which aio condemnod by many as brutal, yet they are conducted with fairness

— :i quality ciuite absent from hare-coursing. In cock-fighting, dog-tightii'g, and boxing ono i-j pitted against ono, not onoapainst two, and it is considered whether tho combatants are matched, or nearly matched, in size and weight; but in hare-coursing no equality of condition is considered, and two big hounds are sot on to run down a poor liule hare-for what? Simply that money nvvy change hands by betting on the tleotest humid. That is tho soul of tho whole hare cii«r:sm^ businoss. As sports, cock-fighting, (J.ur.lighting, and boxing are docidedly more useful, more fair, and moro humane than hu.ro coursing ; but they are vulgar nports, while hare coursing is a snobbish allectation of aristocratic tasto—a "royal sport" as your roportor has it. I admit thero are a few things about the aristoc racy of the mother country worthy of imitation, but their barbarisms are not of those, and that hare-coursing is a barbarism must bo ovidont to everyone but the members of tho Coursing Club. Of course wo must kill animals wo class as vermin, and wo must kill animals whoso skins ur carcases wo require for uso, but we despatch them with us little suffering as possible; we do not make tho:r sufferings and terrors and doublings to escape doath minister to our sport; we do not derive ivmaeement from their tortures. Ilaro coursing nmy be aristocratic : it may evon bo royal, but in tho =culo of human sonti inont, it is low.—l am, &c, A. Campbell.

I have pleasure in informing you that St. Jacob's Oil has just relieved my wife of a severe attack of toothache and neuralgia. 1 must confess I tried it somewhat reluctantly having been victimised at different times by many Bpurious preparations, but I am glad to say St. Jacobs Oil gave her immediate relief, and is all you claim it to be. I shall recommend it witn every confidence, as I have used it per sonally to alleviate the irritation arising from mosquito bites. I am, gentlemen, Yours respectfully, SUMMERS BROWN.

Labouchere tries it.—lt was, I con fess, with profound scepticism that I placed the little silver mouthpiece to my lips, and drew a deep breath. . . . It was not unpleasant, and I persevered, alternating tach pull with a good gaBP of common AIR to follow. I had previously been asked to say a sentence or two in my natural voice, and after two or three pulls at the Ammoniaphone I was requested to repeat the same -words without using ANY extra exertion. I was really startled at the involuntary loudness of my own voice, and a friend who * CCOMPANIED me, and who was a greater ■"■ sceptic than myself, fairly burst outiaugh ing at the result. DR. CARTER MOFFAT smiled benignly, and told me he had now 30,000 persons using the Ammoniaphono with the same results. Dri. CARTER MOFFAT'S AMMONIA PHONE will last for years. Should be used by Actors, Vocalists, Clergymen, Publio Speakers, Parliamentary Mnn. Headers, Re citers, Lecturers. Leaders of Psalmody, School masters, Amateurs, Church Choirs, Barristers, and all persons who have to use their voices professionally, or who desire *o greatly improve their speaking or singing tones, producing a rich, powerful, melodious voice of extraordinary ringing clearness and range. A poor weak voice becomes rich and. massive, while great good is done to the general health. Price, 355. MURRAY AND SPENCER, RtATIONERS ASD RUBBER STAMP MAKERS, 70, QUKKN-STREET.
