CUSTOMS IN lNDlA.

A specimen of the kind Of information Civ
en- by the native papers follows--from the
"Sungbad Cowmuddy," or Moon of lntelli-
gcncc, June IL, 1926:
"SQie ofa Human Bcins-A few days a
go, a certain poor woman of Boistub Castle,
inllabitant of Burdwan set out for Calcutta,
with her daughter, about twelve wears OF
age, with view to Join the multitude of
beggars, collected on the occasion of the late
baboo Randoolaul Sircar's Sharaud, for dis
tributng donations. But, BY the way, being
informed that the Sharaud was over, and
bcggars were already rewarded. and conse-
qucntly, being greatly disappointed, resol-
vcd to dispose OF her daughter, who proved
to be somewhat beautiful, and to get some
thing Is tie sale. Thus determined, She
went to K III kisscnchundcr Roy Bthaha-
door, and sod her daughter to him for $50
rupees, and went hoHt."
The Columbian Press" of the twenty
nnth of August, gives the following state
meEt:--
In my way down from the upper prov
nccs, my bridscroa happened to stop at a
ghatt on the banks uf the ilooghley river,
somewhere in the vicinity Of Moorshadabad.
The crowd which WAS collected on the spot
excited my curiosity to know what OCCASION
ed it. ! accordingly went to the place, and
witnessed one of Of the most inhnman scenes
which can be imagined. The poor helpless
victim was stretched on a charpale, or an
Indian cot, the lower part of the body being
immersed in the river. In this posture, he
was impioring his murderers, in the most
pitiful tone to let him SC, declaring that he was
vet far from death. 70 hear his suppica-
ton, and observe the distrated and forlorn
expression of his countenancc, was enough
to strike any heart with horror and pity,
except the hearts Of the cruel wrctches "a
bout him, who unmindtul of his entreaties,
kept shouting, "l1arry Dol, Harry-bol," and
continued filing his mouth with water, till
at length, tine wrctchcd creature became ex-
austed lis voice which was at first loud,
gradually sunk, ard he At last fell An unwil-
ling victim to bigotry and superstition"
/ 10 explain the above, it may be well to
add, that it is the practice of the natives,
when a person is ii such d state OF debility,
as to be unable to protect himself; if he is
rich, particularly, his aNariclous relatives
and the pri. sts take him to the banks of the
river and sutocatc him with the water and
mpd Of the Gangrs, unt!er the prctcxt that
whoever dies on the bii.ks Of the sacred riv-
er, and drinking its waters, is i'll the surest
road to heaven.

ArrnovED-May 30, 1926.


A case has just been decided by the court
of Over and Terminer in New-fork where
the court held that a man might commit
forgery by signing his own name. The for
gerry was committed by endorsing permit
to land cargo OF Goals. A man by the name
of George Peacock was the real conslgnec,
well known and recognised-tke prisoner,
who bore the same name, endorsed the per-
nit to land the Goals. The point made by
the prisoners counsel was that this is not
forgery by the statute-tAaS says, 'by false
writing'-that this was not false writing
it WAS naked lie, &C." The court were
clearly of opinion the crime is forgery. IN
the progress of trial the court observed, cit,
for instance, ]. Q. Adams should. make a
note to John Adams, or order, to effect
some OBJ ject here for his father and it should
fall into the hands of John Adams of this city
or Of Richmond, or OF Catskill, (for the world
is full of men ofthat name and one OF these
men should endorse it. and get it discount
ed Tor his own account, would it be less tor
gerry because such endorser's real name was
John Adams, as we'll as John Adams, ex-
President of the United States and father OF
the drawer ?"
The Wilmingtonian, and Delaware advertiser., 1826-07-06
From the Berkshire American.
"WIlL YOU ENDORSE"

We pity, ay, sincerely pity, the poor---
we had like to have U.s. d a word which no
petite man would use, and no christian man
should use lishtiy--in other words then, We
sincerely pity the man, whoever he is, who
IS in want OF money, and is a running about
hither and yon, asking his fricnaS to endorse
for him.
''Mr Wiseman, will! you be kind enough to
endorse for me, for small sum Of money ~
Excuse me, sir, never endorses for no
nan--not even for my grandmother | think
it is bad practice, do ; many a man is ru-
ined by it as fiat as iounder--whcrefor
made myself a solemn promise, if God
would bless me with money, never to help
no human bcing-and Iye been US good as
my word" This is a danper you will say;
but not easily discouraged, You proceed to
another of your Jricnd&. and thus accost
him:
Mr. Smoothfaee, am in want of small
sum OF money 10 carry on my busine ,s-
which by the way, is improving, and only
needs a little Of the ready rhino, 10 proceed
with advantage,> will you be good enough to
favour me with your name on the back of

but, sir. am really sir---I--I--indeed Sir.
