aware of the cause of it. On that evening the shraddh,
OT funeral ceremonies of an opulent native, named
Bhullonath Banerjee, was performed at Penethi. An
rrnmeme crowd of people, comprising Hindus, Nlussul.
leans, and native Christians, flocked to the place, for
the Put Po-e of partaking of the donations usually dis•
t,ibuted un such occasions. They were generally of
the lowest order, and many of thorn had travelled a
distance of four or five days, for a gratuity which it is
probable did not exceed two or titree annas. Our in-
folmant adds, that ruins eight to 9,000 persons presented
iemselves at the house of the deceased rot. this purpose,
tcyeadera of the !Iranians who officiated at the cere.
