MISCELLANY.

ACCOUNT OF THE TEMPLE & WORSHIP OF
JUGGERNAUT.
Dreadful accident at a Festiuai--On
the 10Th of June, 1922, the Temple was
opened for the worship Of Juggernaut,
for the first time after his retirement,
The concourse of pilgrims is always
very great. On this occasion the Bril-
fish authorities had taken every pre-
caution to guard against accidents; but,
as only Hindoos are admitted within
the temple, it was necessary to trust
the priests to prevent the ingress OF
too many pilgrims at once. Unhappily
they neglected this precaution. Men
women, and children, all rushed in, the
moment the, gates were thrown OPEN
When they reached the square building
next to the grand tower, they had to de-
scend three steps, which were slippery
from some Holy Food having been split
there. Atthe foot OF the steps, lS wo-
men were thrown down and trampled
to death by the crowd in the rear, be-
fore any assistance could be rendered.
At last, with difficulty, the gates were
again closed, and the bodies were ex-
amined, but it was too LATE. A singu-
lar difficulty now occurred. The dead
bodies Of strangers are touched by men
ola very low cast only, the people OF
this description are not admitted into
the temple; and ifa corpse were carri-
ed through one of the gates, it would
be very bad omen for whoever might
pass through afterwards. To obviate
all these difficulties, while the temple
was emptied of pilgrims the dead bo-
dies were removed with hooks and
poles, and thrown over the boundary
wall, like so many dogs. The relations
Of the poor creatures were seen lament
ing their untimely fate, & must have
felt shocked at their mode of removing
them from the temple.
Grand Festival of tie Idol.-On the
2lst of June 1922, in the town of Pc.
rec Juggernaut, his brother Boloram
and mis- sister Shubrudra, were carried
to their cars, which were drawn up
close to the gate.
The attention Of the European resi-.
dents was at this time, attracted by a
large Indiaman, the Duchess of Athol,
from England to Calcutta; coming near
the coast under press ofsail; the deck
covered with passengers gazing at the
temple. This fine ship pursued her
voyage, those on board remaining un-
concioas ofthe busy scene so near them.
But let it be supposed that the passen-

branch in his hand, came running up
to the cars, clearing their way through
the crowd from considerable distance,
in regular files. They soon removed
the sloping platforms, each'man having
first touched the car with his aranch.--
When all was ready, these men, aided
by the pilgrims, laid hold of the cables
taking care to keep their faces towards
the Idol. The car Of Boloram was first
moved. The shrillness Of the trumpets
the shouts of the pilgrims, the creak-
ing of the ponderous wheels, made a
most frightful noise. The car was
crowded by people, many had crept un-
der and chung to the axletrees; and II
was impossible to look on without
shuddering with the apprehension that
some shocking accidentsswould hap
pen, while so many pilgrims were evil
IDENTIFY in eminent danger. Each car
was moved but a short distance that
day and happily without the loss OF
any lives.
On the following day, the dreaded e.
vent was but too awfully realized. A
crowd of the pilgrims, too poor to pay
for admission had assembled at the bat
terry, and the British Collector, finding
that "a had already died from expo
sure to the rain and want of food hu-
namely opened the gate. These poor
creatures rushed to worship the Idols
on the cars and showed their zeal by
pulling the ropes. They are obliged
out of respect for the Idol, to walk
backward, Six pilgrims, stationed close
to the car, were aiding in pulling a rope
which suddenly yielded having become
Stacker than the others, these men fell
to the ground, UNDECIDED by the shout
ing mob; four of them were instantly
crushed to death; the fifth had a leg
dreadfully mangled; and the sixth fell
between two wheels and escaped unhurt'
The practice which formerly prevailed
of enticing pilgrims to sacrifice their
lives by voluntarily throwing them
selves under the wheels has happily
ceased; and nothing of the kind was al
tempted.
