The reports Of the great famine in Per-
STA are not only confirmed but intensified
in all their horrible details by later des-

the afflicted community, no less than five
hundred children being killed and eaten.

we come to the now famous town of
GREELEY.
This town has grown up very rapidly
under the influence Of such men a. Horace
Greeley. Itis in its second year and now
numbers about six hundred houses and
two thousand inhabitants. II Processes to be
a strictly temperate town a. regards strong
drink, yet those who desire 1t usually man
age to get little of the ardent somewhere.
How and where is the mystery. Real es-
tate in this town has advanced to fabulous
prices, too much so for its own good and
ere long a reaction will take place. and
then good bye, Greeley. Business is not
very good, and wages are on the decline.
Greeley will fall short good deal Of rails
ing sufficient produce for her own con-
sumption. This circumstance alone will
tell heavily on the colonists for year, to
come. A community so large as that, that
that cannot sustain itself in its own pro-
duction, cannot exist a great while without
money.
There are several little villages in the
territory, most of them having been built
during the mining excitement.
Next to the stock business, the mining
interests of the territory are the most prom
inent, an give employment to a good ma
ny men. Fortunes are made and lost in
the uncertain speculation of mining.
Where one man is made rich good many
are made poor. A peculiar feature of the
mining business in this country is that il
requires very expensive machinery, and
thus necessitates the formation of stock
companies with a large capital. Thus it Is
that poor and individual miners are rarely
If ever successful in the mines. Gold, sill
yer and coal abound, but ii needs capital
to extract them from the earth Imdividu-

These were all taken ON valley farms, and

thought possible to he the work of the
same fox. Those living on hills who rear
poultry are obliged to keep continual
watch of them. 1t has been estimated that
there Is an average of II fox to every ten
acres of land the town through. Perhaps
this may be somewhat OF an exaggeration.
People have been aware of an increaac of
these nuisances from year to year, aud eff
forts to trap and poison them have met
with small success. We can but sigh for

The Washington Capital takes occasion
to say of Caleb Cushing; "He is one of the
most wonderful men of the day. Without
office and without official recognition of
any sort, he is yet power. We hazard
nothing in saying that for the last three
years OF our Washington observation, no
State paper has been written OF any impor-
lance or move made, or diplomatic agent
selected, without calling in aid the pen or
advice of this remarkable man. He re-
minds one more OF a European statesman,
one of that sort who accumuates years and
Information without age, and up to the last
moment OF long career is as valuable to
his country as in the prime of manhood"

About 200 people assembled at the
grove ON the farm of John Weatherhead,
July 4th, for picnic. Young, old and
middle aged joined in the festivities, and
apparently with equal enjoyment. The
tables were heavily loaded with general
assortment of good things and about two
o'clock, the work of demolition common
ced, the crowd forming "hollow square,"
through which. of course, II was impossi-
BILE that anything should escape unscathed.
BY the Kindness aud foresight of those hay
ing the matter in charge, excellent provi-
sion had been made for the convenience
and amusement of those in attendance,
and while the younger ones were busy with
their games, the older people engaged in
singing, speeches aud general conversation.
Altogether the affair was a perfect success

on Hong Kong Hoa, took and DESTROYED
the lower fort and the munitions. On the
18th we took another fort and then stormed

The troops which defended them are re-
ported as numbering eleven thousand.
There was desperate hand to-hand fighting
in the citadel. The ordnance was destroy
ed. -Four hundred and egbty-onc pieces,
principally brass poces), very many small

Tuesday night in her usual good health,
though somewhat wearied, and seemed to
have rested well all night, until the hour
mentioned, when the doctor was awaken

shook her g 'nuy, but she remained una

few moments in which she remained in
mute uncOnsciOusness, she gasped few
times, aud life was extinct. DIR. Robertson

man nature were exemplited, and one
whose memory it will ever be pleasure
for all who knew her to most sacredly cher

A notable feature of College commence
lnents this year is the frequency with
which japanese faces appear. The Gov
eminent of Japan has sent several hundred
vounc men to this country to be educated,
and in few years they will carry back
with them all that our colleges can give in
the way of scholastic culture, as well as
such germs of Christian civilization as may
effect more for the ultimate advancement
Of Japan than a century of ordinary mis-
,ionarv work. According to universal
testimony, these young men are apt,
u oughtlll, attentive, well-behaved, and
eager to learn. Year by year the number
Of those coming hither appears likely to in
crease, and the result may be that in 1900
Japan herself will have become the Athens
Of the East.

CAMELs IN THE UNITED STATES
Twelve or thirteen years ago some enter
prising adventures brought small herd
Of camels to this country, thinking to make
them useful on the vast plains of the South
west, once known as "'rhe Great American
Desert" Their descendants still remain
in Washoe, New, anda Nevada paper gives
the following interesting account of their
acclimation and use in that State:
On II rancho on the Carson River, eight
miles below the mouth of Six mile Canon,
and about seventeen miles east of the city
is to be seen herd of twenty-six camels,
all but two of which were born and raised
in this State. But two of the old herd of
nine or ten brought here some years ago
are now living. II would seem that the
original lot fell into the hands of Mex leans,
who treated them very badly, overlooking
aud abusing them.
The men who have them now are French
mon, and men, it seems, who had formerly
some experience with camels in Europe.
They find no difficulty in rearing them,
and can now show twenty-four fine, heal
thy animals, all of Washoe growth. The
ga mel may now be said 10 he acclimatcd to
Nevada.
The owners of the herd find 1t no more
difficult to breed and rear them than would
be experienced with the same number OF
goats and donkeys. The ranch upon which
they arc kept is sandy and sterile in the
extreme, yet the animals feast and grow
fat on such prickly shrubsand bitter weeds
as no other animal would touch. When
left to themselves, their great delight, after
filling themselves with the coarse heritage
of the desert, is to lie and roll in the hot
sand.
They are used in packing salt to the mills
on the river, from the marshes lying In the
deserts, some sixty miles to the eastward
Some of the animals easily pack eleven
hundred pounds.

The early completion of the Rondout
and Oswego II. X. warrants us in naming
some Of the advantages OF this great enter
prise.
|. 1t starts at the head OF Ocean ship and
steamship navigation at Rondout and
Kingston point on the Hudson, and term
mates with its connections at Oswego. Two
indispensable requisites of first class
road are thus secured.
2. 1t opens up fine agricultural and
manufacturing district, hitherto untouch-
ed by railways. The local trade in all man
ner of farm produce and manufactures
must become large. Thus adding another
indispensable requisite to a first class road
fine intermediate country. What we
have named alone is enough to secure sue
cess TO any railway.
3. All this is accomplished by building
only 100 miles Of railway, 30 miles ofwhic h
IL done, and over half, i. @. 81 miles, of
which will be completed by August 18th,
and the whole by October, 1872. When
one measures the distance between Rond-
out and Oswego, and notice the small a.
mount of railway to build, we see how eff
Client it must become.
4. 1t is located centrally between the
manufacturing and mineral interest OF
Central New England and Western New
York, and the great West and Northwest.
3. II connects Oswego, which is great
grain depot and entrepot to all the North
west by the shortest line to New York
and New England. on completion of the
intended Improvements on the Company's
lands and docks at Kingston point, ocean
vessels may load there with grain from
oswego for Europe, at great saving OF
expense over shipment at New York.
6. This road now offers 7 interest in gold
at 30 and interest on g., OOO, 900, loan of first
m ortgage on its road. For sale at all the
banks in this vicinity.

The peaceful hours of night were here,
on the Sd inst. invaded by delegation
from pandomonum which succeeded in
rivaling bedlam in noise and confusion.
The glorious 4th was thus ushered in.
Noisy demonstration were kept up through
the night, TO the entire disgust of all decent
people in our village, and their unanimous
vote wosld be to Danish many of those en-
gagged in the disgracefu scenes to the reg
ions of Pluto.
We would commend to the attention of
our citizens who desire to build neat, con-
venient, but comparatively inexpensive
cottages, to one recently erected on Bridge
street for p. W. Taylor, and another on
Brattleboro ST. Get for f. Thayer. They are
admirable considering the amount of mon
ey expended in building them.
The tobacco interest seems to be well
protected in this town, as at least one cler-
gyman and several church members are
quite extensively engaged in its cultiva-
ton. Is this commendable?
1t is expected that n company of in
iantry will soon be organized here under
State aid. Nearly the requisite number OF
persons have Joined the movement.
