Some one in Boston has sent us a paper pub lished in the interest of the Society for the Prc Tcntion of j Cruelty to Animals.: Mr G. T. Aogcll, who is connected with the Society in Boston, an J who is traveling in Italy, publishes a letter in the paper referred to, and makes some interesting statements about the City of " Venice, and how animahi are treated and pre pared for maTlcL Wo extract the following : .There U in Venice, with its hundred and twenty-five thousand inhabitants', and one hun dred and twenty churches, some beauty of architecture and considerable of art ; and the ?iew from the great tower of San j Marco, in the square, and opposite the church of that name, with the Doge s and imperial palaces just be neath, the city around, the Tyrol! 'mountains in the north, Aennines in the west, and the islands and bine Adriatic in the siAith and east, is certainly one of great beauty, j This tower is over three hundred feet high, about forty feet square and the most easily ascended of any have found in Kuropc, because you simply walk . up gently inclined plar.es inside, to the summit: The imperial palace tot is the most comfortable looking building of the kind I have seen; its interior much resembling that bf a first class American 'hotel. But the chief charm of Venice, 1 think, is its oddity. It is off in the sea, about two miles across the lagoon from tho main land and connected with it by only ono long railway bridge. It is built on one hundred and seventeen little islands, has about four hun dred bridges:, about a hundred and filly canals, and over Ucnty-fur hundred pae-sjges or streets j most of which are as riirrow sis our alleys, and so crocked and entangled, that for a stranger .to find his way is the nest thing to impo&eible. There are Lut seven horses in the city. These belong to a riding school, and are, in excellent condition. Q he dog and cats look remarkably! amiable. The pigeon are fed every day at 2 1. M in the great square of San Marco, and are always prompt to dinner, for as soon as the cathedral clock strikei two, you sec thuiu comiiig in flocks fioni all directions. No danger of stones being thrown at ihcm j because in the first place there are no stones to throw,' and in the second, to I-ill a jayeon is a high crime in Venice. ; The water here for washing is procured from Artesian wells, and for drink ing, the city depends upon rain-water, which runs from the houses into great public cisterns j , though sometimes in dry weather it must be brought in boats from tho main iand. Venice is said to baa healthy city, because twice in every tWcuty-fuur hours the tide ebbs and Hons " through it, and as a eoul place it is much resorted to in Summer. U j One thing in -Venice particularly pleased mcj and that was its Abattoir. All auiuials whoso meat is sold 'in the city must be killed there! They are brought from the main land, t-tauding in large boats, not crowded: and all I saw were in good condition. On their arrival they are i piaccu in cxceucui t-iaoies, auuuuuuuy puppueu. with food and water, aud those tJtt to be imme diately killed are fid and watered twice a day.! Kvery animal killed, and its meat! nitcrwui d.,! is inspected by veteriuary surgeons j appointed byi the city. If good, they stamp it with their tea),' which authorizes its sale. If not good it! cau only be used for manure. Swine can oulyjbo killed in cold weather from November to March. Calves are never bled before they are ; killed; and like cattle are Grt stunned by a blow on the head. Kvery part of tho animal isKived and U!ed, aud there is not the liyhtrt disayreca Llr nlor jteiTij'tiLIc olxmf the jirt inic$. j in coutraM wimitiis 1 rcmcmoer that in lite united States it was asc ertained by an commission composed . of men ot tho h army i"he-t ' character, that cattle Jwcighing fifteen hnudfjd pounds, lost on the average nearly two huudred iu transportation from Chicago to Boston. I re member that much of the transportation beyond "Chicago, on the Mississippi River and by rail, 'is still worse that it was reported ,to the Social Science Congress at Albany, that the loss oi ou Texas cattle was so jrreat as to nia kc their cost in New York nearly double what it -would be with proper transportation. I remember that many of these cattle have ulcers, arid that it has been found that swine fed on their blood die in from three to six we;Ls ; I remember that vJr' a large portion of our country calves are blekl, from one to ix times bef )re they ar killed ; th:it sheep are sent to unrLot in cold weather without their fleeces 'and their meat thereby made un wholesome. 1 remember that a Vermont drover told me tint nearly all the discacd animals in his part of the country were sent to Boston, anil lhat more recently respectable butcher of a r.cighboring twn told me, that whcievcr a hog was threateueel with cholera, he was hurried to market and killed, and that "many animals dying on the cars, and others ahmt deuJ, A un'd their way to our markets ;'and in contrast with the cleauliness .of this abattoir at Venice, I also re member that real estate in one of the. most beauti ful towus in tho vicinity of Boston' ha been de preciated hundreds of thousands of dollars by the smells of its slaughter houses.! j Amongst the twenty millions of Italy, who can neither read nor write, undoubtedly there is cruelty, some of which I have seen. but I do not remember to have been in this whole country a "check-rein en a horse attached to a public con veyance, nor a hoi so that appeared overloaded. I havu seen seven or eight persons,. or more, dm mii by one horK but the pavtMutut was near ly as sm.ui and hurd ns the i ail way, and the lo.id hardly m-iTe than half an empty horse car. When you hire a horse and carriage here, you also take the driver, and my experience has been that these drivers, going up hiil, rest their Jiorscs otteu, an i walk thcmselvesJ I have not seen one in aii'it dy ase his whip jCruelly, and nearly every rarriairo (has a go.nl brake. Nor is it alone in tho treatment of at, in in Is that I can Speak well of Italy.

The stMmefs fo.r Europe from New York on Satur day week took an aggreLate of about a thousand passengers, families chiefly, who aro going to spend the summer on the Continent. The emi gration, however, is as nothing to tho immigra tion. The arrivals at New York have been at the' ratio of 2,000 per dy 14.000 a week 'and the cable advises that the departures from Liverpool evcn now are at the rate of 20,000 weekly. r3- , ' I .
