Something like an epidemic of chol- era morbus has broken out among the children of London. The symptoms are at least those of that complaint, but the cause cannot he ascertained in many instances. Some cases are quite serious, In a recent book on "Pets, and How to care for them;" the writer finds out that reports have been got from prisons and reformatory showing that very few of the men who are prisoners in these places kept pets when they were boys or were taught kindness to the lower animals, So you see that the boy who robs bird's nests, or kicks and hurts dogs and cats not only does an unkind and cruel thing to these creatures, but he always gives himself a tittle push 0u the wrong road in life.

To TUE EDITOR or VIE "ADVOCATE," SII: -We were horrified to see in the ADVOCATE of Thursday last that Miss Rowe had fouled the mistake bile had made in putting hellebore instead of pepper iu the pressed thicken and that not the pickles but the chicken was the cause of the poisoning, Now this is a host barefaced falsehood. Your informant says on investigation it WAR found, &c. -Why did not your in- , formant tell when the investigation was made and who made it. I can as- sure your informant we never had any hellebore in the house. And if every thing had been free from poison as the pressed chicken was, there would have been no sickness. For it has been proven that some who ate hearty of the chicken were net sick. Some of it was eaten before it was taken from the house, without any bad efface. Now I will not say the pickles was the cause of the trouble But this I do know that R. N. Rowe ate very little of the, pres- sed chicken, but ttte very heartily of the pickles and be was the greatest sufferer of all. Now I do not wish to , knew who raised this falsehood, for I do not wish to be acquainte-1 with slanderers. But I would like to know the motive they bad for saying it was not the pickles but the. chicken that was the cause of the poisoning It does seem too that some one was afraid that if the fault was put on the pickles i would spoil the Rale of them.
