The Famine i'm Persia.

LONDON, July 2s.-Further particulars have
been received Of the famine in Persia. The
drought last year in the central and Southern
provinces, and the consequent partial failure of
the crops caused great destitution and misery
all winter. At the same time the taxes we're
increased on the people of Lariston, which
brought on the famine, and numbers Of people
left their homes, and the government lost its
annual taxes. The new Governor promised to
raise not only the usual sum, but more,
and this oppression drove all the country peo
pie from their homes, who thronged the cities
which pay no taxes. The failure of the crops
in Lariston was rendered more disastrous be-
cause other provinces which mostly raise opium,
cotton and silk, depend upon it for their grain:
The results in ISpahan. Yezd, kirman and
Shirag, were terrible BY the end of the winter
and before the new crop, the cities were crowd,
cd Wheat at Kirman rose nine times its usual
price, and starvation began. Izd raises opium:
The people could buy no grain, and ate grass and
roots. In khorassan the people sold their
children to Turcomans, to save their lives, and
in other provinces people ate their children,
having eaten all their domestic animals and
vcrmin In Ispahau men were caught digging
up corpses to feed their starving families, and
the pcstience in consequence combined fearful
ravarcS. One half of Persia is dcpopulated.

thousands who had learned its value 1t is the

take its place in every family in this as well as
in the old countries. Its merits will make 1t Il
household article, and We hope that every one
who has ever used any Btters or common patent

and then decide for themselves whether they
will use this Tonic, prepared from the pure
Juice of the Catalina grape, with Callsaya and
the spices of CeylOn, or bitters made OF COM
