A correspondent of the "Northampton Mercury" speaks well ef the treatment of draught horses in Liverpool. He says— " I bad the good fortune to spend a week in Liverpool during the last autumn, and among the many wonders of that wonderful district, nothing gave me greater pleasure than to witness the universal kindness with which the horses were treated. The whip is a thing of the poet in Liverpool. Tho kindly tone of the human voice is used instead, and the results are something to remember for a lifetime. Everywhere I saw these beautiful creatures doing their work with intelligence and a power that was quite new to me, guided only by the voice and a waive of tho Band of their attendants—l was almost saying drivers, but that would have been a libel." This is saying a good deal for the horeekeepers of Liverpool, for there is no town in Bagland where the work is harder.
