CORRESPONDENCE.
STOCK-DRIVING.
(T'o TUB EpITOR,)
Sin,—Coming up Queon-street this morning I met a small mob of cattle, mostly calves, and the driver was using his stock whip so vigorously among Hicin that 1 iwb really afraid his arm would comooff. Not that such a raisfortunu would havo been any great loss;' rather a boon, I should fancy, to any animals ho happens to drive. I don't know how far the poor brutes had to go, but I should think they would be pretty well flayed by the time they arrived at their destination. A touch of tho whip on thoir own bach would not do euch gentlomen any harm ; it would give them an idea of what they were inflicting on thoir dumb friends. lam, etc., Humanity. [Our correspondent is a lady, aud tho fact that ladies interest thomselves to' prevent harsh usage to animals may perhaps have some weight with tho stock-driving fraternity. Stock-driv-in? is, however, one of those tasks which it is easier to criticise than to perform.—Ei). W.D.]
