A Calcutta paper of Aug. 16 says, 10000
paupers are fleeing from the famine in
twenty districts. They have inundated
200 per day. We have, on the highest au-
thority, an account Of the prevailing desti-
tuition. It would be difficult to exaggcrate
the magnitude and extent of the calamity.
All the accounts have seen have under
rated it, 1t is difficult to obtain reliable
accounts of the mortality, but all that [
have seen and heard have convinced me
that it has been on a scale of fearful mag
nitude. There are still four long dark
months before US, though for month past
there has seemed some slight abatement in
the four districts Of Bolaisaro, Midnapoor,
Sarum, and Tarhoot. Over 10000 non
laboring paupers were being daily relieved
in the middle part of June, 700 who we're
able to make some return for food by work
ing week longer. We find Ia 800 relieved
in Midnapoor, while Poree and Nudda add
II 900 more to the sad list
1t is believed thai II Cutlack many
must die before relief can reach them, while
1000 persons day were perishing at the
single station of Bolasara. A vessel, the
Tubal Cain, carrying food TO them, was
throw away 200 bushels of corn
The new crop of rice will soon be re-
turned, but it is likely to add new source
OF danger, for lacking other food, the poor
people will devour it in its immature state,
and then terrible illness will thus ensue.
Another account says: When the famine
was at its height, the starving poor, we are
told, crowded into the streets Of Calcutta,
! AZ.
10000 to $4,000 starving people were wan
dering about the capital. At Mullick Chat.
where the Bombay merchants raised a fund
and distributed food, there was at one time
1900 furnishing applicants crowded up.
They were pushed in order In an open space

sat in silent eagerness they eat the meat.
of their Hindoo brothers, counting the min
utes till their turn should come. The women,
girls, and children were outside the gates,
hundreds and hundreds who had lost their
chance till the next day for distribution,
but over all horrible silence. No clatter
or noise-scarcely sound Once in q
while some wretch threw up his arms with
an ejaculation to heaven, wrung from him
by the unappeasable pangs of hunger.
More than this, officials wrote home &C
counts of meeting deae bodies in every
mornings ride, lying in the road, with the
village dogs eating them at leisure.
A Calcutta journal says that in Belasoria.
having . population Of only 1900, the
deaths amounted to 80 day. Theaoollec-
tor reports that, August 8, he had 245
deaths; on the 9th, Isl /; and on the week
ending the 18th, 1875 per day. The bodies
sometimes lie unburied three days. One
paper declars that 1000 souls have per-
ished in Maratlme Orissa alone. Indeed,
a telegram from India announces that half
the population Of Orissa have perished in
the famine-that is fully two million and
half Of people.

a plentiful harvest bid fair soon to restore
the country to its usual prosperity The
Calcutta correspondent of the London Times
says it is estimated that that three ourths
of the laboring population and half the
lower class of agriculturists have persisted

and when it is over asks how many Of the
5000, 900 of people will be left.
a British company, at the head of which
is Captain Bedford PIN, of Nicaragua Rail-
road notoriety, who are buying mines and
other property in Central and South Ameri-
ca, and placing it ON the stock market at
London, have purchased sugar estate,
situated on the Ballano river, near Panama.
The lands are any number Of miles in
depth, and border six miles ON the river.
The price paid was $4,000. A company
has been formed to work the estate on
large scale. If they succeed, they will
have imitators, much to the benefit Of
Panama.

THE OLD AND NEW.
BY JOHN Gs WHITTIER.

Oh sometimes glee ms upon onr sight,
Through present wrong, the eterusI right
And step by step, since time began,
We see the steady gain Of man.
That all Of good the past has had
Remains to make our own time glad
Our common daily life divine,
And every land a Palestine.
We lack but open eye and ear
To find the 0rient's matEels here,
The still, small voice in autumn's hush,
fon maple wood the bG,ning bush.
For still the new transcends the old.
Ia signs and tokens manifold:
Slaves rise up men; the olive waves
with roots deep set in battle grryes.
Through thu barsh noises of the day
low, sweet prelude finds its way
Through clouds of doubt aud creeds of fear
light is breaking, calm and clear.
IIenceforth my heart shall sigh nomore
For olden tiue and holier shore:
Gods love and blessing, then and there,
Are now, and here and everywhere.

This Is pleasant game for evening par

An old editor found a rude sub scri-
Der to one of his news papers stealing
knowledge. and desired him to COME
DOWN; but the young sauce-box told him
plainly he would not. ''Won't you?n said
the old editor, "then will fetch YOU
down." so he pasted a little slip on the
edge of his paper and threw at him; but this
only made the sub scri-ber laugh, to think
the old editor should pre- tend to beat him
down with printed slips only.
sWell, WE'LL" said the old editor, q if
neither hints nor in-sin- ia tions will do, [
will try what virtue there is in duus;''
so the old ed-i-tor pelt-ed him heartily
with duns, which made the young chap

! A CAROLINA BoMEo AND JUElET.-A cores pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial. wri- ting from Columbia, s. C., April 5, narrates the following romantic love episode;
 Early in the.struggle, young lawyer en- tered the rebel service from this town, and oo- tained captains commission, deferring an engagement of marriage with young woman of high social position and broad acres of cot ton, (dissociated from any in her toilette un- til the contest had terminated.
 The loving twain agreed, if one should dle before the other, the survivor should follow to the tomb, and they made such promises as did the fair tmogene and Alonzo the brave.
 At the battle of Five Forks, in Virginia, the captain was killed, and the sad news being communicated to his mistress, she made her will. and prepared for death, though carefully concealing her determination from her rela- tives. .
 A few weeks after the fall of the young off cer. the morning following the afternoon ot his funeral. which she attended, pale and fearless as q statue. she was found dead in her bed. Her parents said she had expired of conges- t;on of the brain, but note left by then dauohter informed them of her intention to commit suicide, which she did with hydrocy- anic acid: and, as the sentimento-religious rbapsodist would have us believe, joined her lover in realm of happiness, where the anna ranth of affection forever blooms.

nsT While looking around for items, with which to fill our local column this week, we picked up the following, which if not local, will do very we'll to go along with the hard ones that are going the rounds of the Press. There is in our town, a negro woman 80 years old or more, the mother of 24 children, Is of which she raised She has not been sick, or taken medicine, in 20 years, and now does all the house work for her old masters child. She has been in the same family for 65 years as a cook, and says that she can do as much work as any negro in town, and feel no inconyeni- ence from it. Beat this if you can.
