MORE SLAUGHTER.

TO THE BDITOB. Sib,— lt seems almost incredible that we still have to chronicle the destruction of valuable property by pjttr railway. This case tarns out to be a handy trap horse, belonging to George Eichard son . of Karere, which wasjleft momentary with saddle, the owner having occasion to call at a neighbor's, , with the iatentionof not going inside the house. He entered, and although the, door was open, "witter he. nor Mr. Mathieson heard the approach of the strain, till it was popped. The sequel is, he adds anqthar. notoh to his tally, stick. The driver who now ranks famous since the former -2SM eiret L 9 t the Black Dwarf' engine resigned. What I want to arrive at is on' the occasion of a horse saddled be^i* on thi line' ipth his rein thrown over his neck, or- perhaps* accidently got away, on a dear moonlight night if the came is brought m as unavoidable,, could not be help sort, &c. I ask where would c&xef illness begin, ar gross carelessness end, neither would it be out of place ♦SiF^v*^ "Ptfro at the actual number of cattle with their value. l One person at the Hritf taktf about 27 head, who like myself should try to exchange my loss m catt, being three oows, and the' horse say £12/ would take a reef to' keep going.' ThankMg you for this and former considerations.
