- The English government is pre-
pairing to take food from the provin-
ces of India, where the provinces have
been good, to those where famine is
threatened. The crops have failed in
six districts Of Bengal which is one
of the eight provinces into which India
is divided. These six districts c1m-
prise an area of 10000 squsFe miles,
and contain population of 10000.
000 Even a partial famine would
entail great misery upon the native pop
ulation, and the government in its
early preparation to meet the evil, is
evidently mindful of the terrible
scenes enacted at other famines in
India.

From Jamestown.
] JAMESTOWN, Dec. 5. 1873

JAMESTOWN, Dec. 5. 1873
EDS. HERALD-DEAR SIRs:-As I have
been travelling FOR few weeks past through
Fayette and Greene counties, 1 thought
few lines from this section might be Of
some interest 20 the readers of the HER
AID. On Saturday night, November so,
had the pleasure of addressing a large and
apprecia tive audience at the Plymouth n.
E. Church. Subject: "Woman's Greatest
Enemy" on Sabbath evening, to crowd
ed house at West Lancaster; and on Thurs
day evening, December 4, at Seneca Meet
ing house, Greene county, at which point
meeting was appointed for jamestown on
Friday evening, at which place l arrived af-
ter night fall. 4 church had been procur-
ed for the Lecture; but not enough live
temperance men left in the town to light
the house, or build the fires. Quite large
number came to the town, but were disap
pointed, as it was impossible to attempt to
address an audiance with the thermometer
down to freezing point. The only warm
and jovial dispositioned persons met were
lIlOSO IGIiONS Will OSiL1tlC Oi SAII oNb Va
hops. 1t is sad, but nevertheless true, that
the whisky element rules both church and
state to great extent. Being disappointed
myself, l could do nothing more than call
to memory that good old text found in the
8th chapter of Romans, viz: ''All things
work together for good to those that love
the Lord Jamestown is indeed thriv-
ing inland town, with several groceries, and
stores of various kinds. The only redeem
ing quality of the town is first class no
tel accommodations; mine host, Mr.. Parker,
of the American House, will always be
found ready to greet you and make you
feel at home. Here l also met an old true
and tried friend and fellow soldier, DR.. E.
W. Evans, whom have often seen upon
the tented field, administering to the wants
Of many wounded comrades, as only COM
pctent surgeon and physician could. Of
ten have met him in the hospital, caring
for our brave comrades with the care and
Tenderness of a mother. My visit to this
place would, indeed have been blank,
had it not been for the pleasant evening
spent in company with old comrades, where
many pleasant memor. .es were recalled
But how different were those days from
now-then engaged in riotous living, now
in the worship of God-plucked as brands
from the eternal burning.
Hard times have almost been forgotten,
thoughout the country. Hogs are quite
scarce in this locality. Hoping to be
able to drop you a few lines from other
points, will close.
Yours Respectfully,
Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1873-12-18

A BIack-and-Tan Dog Tackles a
Turtle


Turtle.
TFrom the Peoria Review
If anybody has seen black and
tan dog, answering to the name of
Judge" going down street in com
panv with a hard shell turtle, that
won't answer to anything, and certain
Ey won't answer to tackle, as the dog can
tell you if you can get him to stop long
enough, please halt the elopeing
pair, as they are the property of the
editor of this paper. We are strong
ly attached to the dog on account of
his vaga oondish, Bohemianish habits.
He knows every dog in Peoria by
name, and is on intimate terms with
nine-tenths of the granger dogs that
come in under the wagons, and he
knows more Of the Inhabitants of this
city than the tax collector does. The
turtle is a more recent acquisition. 1t
was placed in the back yard yesterday,
and the dog spent an hour and a half
! trying to enticc it to come out of its
shell and be sociable. The old iron
clad maintained his reserve, however
until the dog crammed his nose
against The forward part and began to
snuff. The pair seemed to come to
some Understanding at once for the
dog made an impetuous remark OH
very high tone, and they both started
on a trip after Donalso on's balloon
When the dog jumped over Fisher
barn we thought he had struck the
easterly current and would go right
through, but we learn since that he
landed and was seen sanntering along
like whirlwind, the turtle staying
right by him. We should be sorry to
lose the dog now, as he has acquired
another important and valuable quail
ty. He knows more about turtle thar
any other dog in the country, and it
mighty hard to find n real good turtl
dog.
