NEWS FROM INDIA.

The Overland Mail has brought news from Calcutta to
the 19th and from Bombay to the 22nd of October. The
papers contain details of the Viceroy's visit to Puttialla
and Jeypore, and of his reception at those places, of
which we some time since received intelligence by tele-
graph•
Some other items of news are given as follows by the
Times of India and Bombay Gazette :

A tragic story comes from Simla. A Mrs. Sealy was
found dead in her house, with a severe sword-cut in her
head, " indeed almost scalped." A man named Reed, an
assistant in one of the headquarters offices, who lived in
the same house, was also found with a bullet-wound in
his chest, though alive.
It is said that it has been decided that the gun of the
future for the Indian land defences is to be the 40-pounder
Palliser rifled, to which form all existing armament will
be gradually converted. Guns of nine and ten inches
will be used for all Indian sea defences.
On the 7th of October the Republic was proclaimed at
Pondicherry, and it is expected that a new Governor will
arrive shortly from France to replace Monsieur Bontemps,
who is godson of the Emperor.
His Highness the Maharajah Sir Maun Singh, K. 5.1.,
died at his residence at Lucknow on the 12th of October.

his Highness Sri Sing, Rajah of Chumba, died on the
3rd of October. His Highness's little State is best known
as the field of a flourishing Presbyterian mission.
Mr. Drew, geologist to the Maharajah of Cashmere,
started from Iskardo on September 21 to Ghilgit, to make
inquiries about Mr. Hayward. The mission was to occupy
some three weeks. He Was not to go beyond Cashmere
territory.
The deaths are announced of Colonel J. C. Anderson,
R.B. (Madras), Officiating Inspector-General of Irriga-
tion; Major H. W. Best, doing duty at Agra; Major C.
M. Lewis, Bombay Staff Corps ; Captain F. W. Wil-
liams, 2nd N.I. ; Lieutenant L. G. 0. Stucley, 36th Regi-
ment ; and Lieutenant J. D. Thomas, 38th Regiment,
who died at Cherat, near Peshawur, from injuries caused
by the accidental discharge of his gun when out shooting.

The cotton-spinning mill of Messrs. David White-
head and Sons, ltawtenstall, was on Monday totally de-
stroyed by fire. The damage is roughly ,estimated at
£20,000, while 300 workpeople have been thrown out of
employment.

The boring of the Alps has been vigorously pro-
ceeded with. The works during the month of October
have advanced the subterranean passage to 11,955 metres,
so that only sixty-four metres remain to be perforated
before the sub-Alpine passage between France and Italy
shall be completel It is believed that the work of boring
the Alps may be completed in less than two months, and
in six months' time the further task of enlarging the

tunnel and making the road will be accomplished-. -
THE PARIS OPERA OPENED.—A Paris letter
states that L'Op6ra reopened its doors on the evening of
the 6th. The entertainment of the evening was one of
those concerts such as this theatre can alone organise.
Five or six of the principal artists excepted, all the actors
had fled, considering it more prudent to have themselves
applauded ,on foreign stages. Of those who have re-
mained, MM. Villaret, Baron, Gaspard, Devoyod, Yon-
sard, Bosquin, Mesdames Gueymard and Hisson, deserve
to be mentioned. The receipts of the first night are to be
devoted to the relief of the victims at Chlteaudun. The
1101 was crowdel ; and the concert, which began at eight
o'clock, ended at a quarter to eleven. Extracts from the
most celebrated operas, " Alceste," " Guillaume Tell,"
"Les Hugenots," and "Le Chant du Depart" were
sung.

EXTRAORDINARY ELOPEMENT.—Reuben Orchard
Falstead was charged at the petty sessions held at Bland-
ford, in Dorset, a few days since with having allured
and taken away Jane Marian Greatbach, aged 16
years and four months. The prisoner was a clerk of
the National Provincial Bank, and the young lady—of
great personal attractions —was the daughter of a widow
lady, and entitled under her father's will to considerable
property. The prisoner, who is some year's the lady's
senior, and the son os a retired naval officer, formed the
acquaintance of the lady, and on October 13 took a car-
riage to her residence to take her for " an evening drive."
She was wrapped up carefully by mamma, and the pair
set out for Pimperne, through Thorntongate, but they
made their way to Wimborne station, and by the night
nt
mail went to town, and thence to Dublin, where tey were
found a few days since by Superiendent Moorhe. Pri-
soner was remanded.
ACORNS AS FOOD FOR CATTLE.— icorns having
worked a considerable amount of mischief among cattle,
partly by accident, and partly because their nature and
properties are not understood, an abundance of nonsen-
sical advice to stockowners has appeared in letters to the
newspapers. One correspondent actually speaks of the
starch which is abundantly present in acorns and in horse
chestnuts as the cause of their indigestibility and injurious
effects on cattle. One might as well say that wheat and
oats are dangerous food when uncooked, because they
contain 60 or 70 per cent. of starch. The fact is that both
the acorn and horse chestnut are surrounded by a nearly
impervious and indigestible coat ; and it is in great mea-
sure the presence of this fibrous envelope which causes
whole acorns either to pass through the digestive organs
unaltered or to lodge in them, and which produces irrita-
tion of the intestines, followed by illness and death. We
might as well give a deg a biscuit inclosed in a willow-
chip box, as feed an animal on acorns in the husk. The
tannin and the bitter and poisonous principles which have
been extracted from acorns and horse chesnut have usually
little to do with the bad effect of these seeds on animals.
Acorns become a wholesome food in admixture with other
vegetable products, by the very easy process of steaming,
or by grinding and then soaking the coarse meal in water
to which a little common washing soda has been added.—
