Adyices from Persia state that the
famine in that country is increasing
rather than abating. At many places
the beasts of burden have ali been eaten,
and there are no means of transportation
left. Cases of ca~nnibalism, horrible to
think of, are constantly occurring

This Philadelphia North AmeTicdn
says: $50 far as Pennsylvania is con-
cerned, we believe she will be able to
give a good account of herself as usual
We have just cast in Philadelphia forty
thousand votes at a mere Republican
primary election, and at the regular
election in November we fully expect to
be able to poll seventy thousand. We
shall in October speak out in such a
manner that New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut will be inspired to compete
with us in November. The defections
in our ranks are so few and feeble as to
attract but little attention"

The Columbus Journal says; Eight
persons were received at the Ohio Peni-
tertiary last week. With these addi-
tions, the number of prisoners in the
P~enitentiary is nine hundred and fifty
one, against one thousand and three at
this date in ISL Courts appear to have
held late sessions, since the number OF
arrivals at the prison in June were I'M
usually small for that month, and the
arrivals in July have been large beyond
precedent. But the average number of
prisoners for the year will be less than
for several years past. For several years
the average has been from n thousand
and fourteen TO one thousand and forty.

finish afidavits to prove more than it
has charged against Greeley. 1t proves
not only that this honest, guileless old
man was deep in intrigue for the Demo
cratic nomination for President as long
ago as August, 1871, but that he wrote
to one Of the Democratic e~onspirators,
in which he declared himself in favor
of a lay gi0iag pensions, By United States

ing. The infatuated old man seemed
willing to go any length to eonciliate
the rebel Democracy.
