HoRRoRs OF THE FAMINE IN IND1A.-Th Rev.
J. Buckley, an English Baptist missionary, sta
toned at Cuttack, Orissa, writes: g., r
Orphans have been brought dying to our door,
and many that we have received have been too
deeply famine stricken for nursing and medicine
to restore. After few short days death has
closed the scene. Tender and delicate women,
lying on our verandah, have implored rice or
money to purchase it, with cries that have pierced
our hearts. Two cases ofeating human flesh have
been reported; in the one case it was proved that
the person was insane; in the other, child was
found eating its dead fathers flesh which had been
roasted and in few days after the child died.
Mothers have left their children in the madam
(dunghilD to die, or have sold them for few pice
In one case All only son was sold for pint of
milk; the mother eagerly drank it up, gave up
her child, walked a few steps, and then dropped
down dead. The dying and the dead have been
seen lying in Streets though this has not been
SO much at Cuttack as at Balasore and some 9th
er places. At Pooree, it has been common for
the police to find, morning after morning, in the
streets and lanes, sixty seventy, eighty, and more
corpses. In the Cuttack district, 5000 deaths
from famine and pestilence were reported in one
week. and it is generally believed that at Baasore
and Pooree tine distress has been seyerer than
here.

will labor in the interest of spectators and

have been formed to force through the Senate
the abomnable tariff which passed the House
