Wholesale Slaughter of Birds-4-The
Christless Work Goes On.
Editors Democrat : A Mr. Greenlee
of this State, a member of the Orriitho
logical Society, killed in a single month
six hundred Cedar Birds for the North
market. Their skins were sold
ern
as
imerchandise to be used by the milliners
I in trimming hats and bonnets fojr wo-
men. They make the demand the ten-
? der-hearted women, who cry over a
novel ! And thus this infamous arid ac
cursed traffic, unfeeling and brutal to a
Shocking degree, goes on, and willcon-
i
inue until an elevated Christian senti
ent stamps it out as a crime against
God and nature. It is to be hoped that
i
the time will soon come when no wo-
men, not of the demi monde, willjhave
the courage to come into church or pa
rade the streets with dead songsters on
their hats. Our women could institute
a fashion that would be really useful.
I Let them wear on their hats the stuffed
skins of rattle snakes, copper-head and
vipers. In this way they would do an
immense good. The skins would jbe at
a premium and the slaughter prbpor-
tionate. Now, where is the
brave
wo-
man who will inaugurate a new and ex
:
ceedingly useful fashion ?
