1888, in the Upper Provinces ofBengal, swept
off more than 100000 people. The famine
of the year 1889, visited the Northern Provin-
ces of Bombay and Madras.
The Asiatc journal for Augusta, 1888
states that 100000 were scantily led daily by
Government and private individuals in the
north west provinces yet this is but faint
palliative. The people are dying like dogs
mothers throwing their living children at night
into the Jumna-disease destroying numbers
whom famine has spared; jackas actually de-
vouring bodies in which life was not extinct" "
At Gwalior t'hydrophoba was as fatal as cho-
lera famine dreadful horses, asses, buflaloes,
every thing that had died natural death. eaten
by the natives" At Agra ''the police pick up
$50 bsdies daily
On the 18th of April, 1888, $4,000 pining
wretches, men, women and children, were ied
by bounty at Agra and between the lst and
18th of March, 71,523 infirm and sIghtlesS
creatures were relieved in similar manner
So great were the ravages OF death, that the
air for miles was tainted with the effiuVla from
the purifying carcaseS OF men and cattle, ana
the rivers of the Jumna and the Ganges were
checked I'D and poisoned by the dead bodies
thrown into their Channels The water and
fish of these rivers were rejected as unfit for
inc the accumulated bodies down the torrents
The mortality was at the rate often thousand a
month: destruction of life which, if it had
continued, would have swept off the entire po-
pulation in less than year.
A still more dreadful picture is given in
letter from Calcutta, under date of the 10th OF
April, which says:-"Since the despatch of the
overland mail per the Berence, which left
Bombay at the close of last month, public at
tention in this quarter has been engrossed by
the accounts which daily reach the capital of
the horrid ravages of famine in the provinces
to the west and north west. 1t is impossible
to compute the number, who die in their te.
dious progress from the desolate districts to
the town where food is procurable. We hear
almost daily of mothers deserving their children
on the highways; of infants crawling around
the granares to pick up the grains OF rice ac-
cidentaly scattered during the process OF dis
tribution at the doors; of the roads being lined
with dead bodies, prey to the vulture and
iackal: of the courses Of small rivers actually
obstructed by the masses of dead bodies thrown
therein, by those who are employed to clear the
highways; of the European inhabitants OF the
large towns of Agra, Cawnpore, &c., being
compelled to abandon their evening drive,

that as the Delegation from Troy and Albany
about 300 in number, were on their way to a
Log Cabin raising at Catskills on the Sd, they
were greeted with the sight of red petticoai
hoisted in derision Of the bra7e-Croghan calls
him brave-Harrison. The two young gentle.
men to whom the company were indebted 70,
this mark of attention were Doctor B. B. Ere.

latter a cousin to the Receiver in this place.
A nephew Of President Van Buren, recently
manufactured with his own hands an effigy Of
Gen. Harrison and paraded it through the
streets Of Undertook. We wonder who pays
for the labor done and performed on such occa.
sions. The business seems to be monopolized
by the families of the Office holders!

VOTERS. LOOK OUT

In many counties throughout the Territory,
where the Loco Focos thought they had the
majority, county conventions were held and
loco foco nominations were made. This was
the case in Van Buren,, Muscatine, johnson,
Washington and other counties. In some of
these counties the locos may sec that it is a
doubtful case for them; if they do, they will
fore the election, in order to secure the election
Of some Of their members. We hope, for the
sake of the cause, that the friends of real de-
mocracy and reform will be wide awake, and
that not a single wing vote will be thrown
away. 1t would be funny if, after all the ma
neuvrings of the loco focos. whig legislature
should be elected in Iowa! ~
