WARREN HASTINGS
wrote ane abOrate report the state OF Bengal He
had made progress through o large portion OF the
country, insulating the most searching inquiries
by the way, and he deliberately states the loss as
lat least one thirG OF the nhabiants.n This esti-
mate has been accepted by all Ofilcal and the most
accurate UNOFFICIAL writers. Twenty years after
the famine the remaining population was estimated
at from "a, 100000 to 30O0O00O and the conclusion
must be arrived at that the failure Of single crop,
following year OF scarcity, had within nine
months swept away 100000 of human beings.
THE FAMINE IN ORIssA.
The famine that visited Orssa in the southern
part OF Bengal, In 1866, carried OF 900 Of

the province has produced more grain than 1t can

country sending away It's grain by sea and neither
recurring nor seeking any communication with

in Janury, 1856, the East Indian Irrigation Com
Beaton, the Lieutenant Governor Of Bengal, was
requested to- do the same thing, but, In
common with the local officers, who we're
declared still higher prices would bring out hidden
stores. 1t would appear that during the earlier
months OF the scarcity 1t was known that Orlssa
had suffered like other parts OF the Presidency !;
but neither the government nor pubic were aware
that greater proportion OF the crops had been
lost than In the rest OF the districts and the native
merchants, relying on the general superabundance
OF grain while curtailing their export transac-
tons, saw no necessity Tor importing. Towards
the middle OF February, 1856, however, 1t began to

DISSOLUTION.

The firm of Williams & Gibbs has
been dissolved. One is decapltated aud
the other detected. Some of the inter
ested parties are jubilant and Others are
sorrowful.
Personally we like both men well
enough TO see them hold office for a
fe-time; besides, both are friends to
the Woman Movement, though General
Williams gets on pious strains OF objec-
tlons TO IL, la Garfield, sometimes, and
Governor Gibbs hasn't had courage yet
to "speak out in meetin' in its favor,
though We think he will soon.
If some plan could be hit upon by the
body polite which would enable every

happy. But alas for the vanity of hu-

vigorously as it used TO. You have

A Midnieht Raid.

Every evening six boys met on one of
the vacant lots of the village Of Hamp-
ton. They formed a society called the
'Farmers' TormentOrs."
"Well, boys, what is the fun for to-
night ?n asked Tom UrbinO, the leader
of the tormentors, rs they sat around
their evening fire.
"Old farmer Williams has taken in
his watermelons, and has put them in
the old barn." said Jim StrattOn, an
other one of the party.
"Well, then We will call on old farmer
Williams barn tonight. This knife
will cut all we want TO eat" said Tom.
They sat still until about 10 o'clock,
when Tom said: "NOw, Jim, you lead
on; we will follow you"
The boys walked across the fields
about n mile, when they came i'm sight
of q small, old barn. They glanced
around to see that the coast was clear,
and then mounted a small ladder they
obtained on the premises.
"Jim, you mount first and Will FOL
low; YOU other fellows stay here and
watch" said Tom.
They were soon inside the barn, and
Jim descended the stairs, and Tom
remained at the top to catol the
melons and pass them to the boy 'ut-
side. Tom waited for q few minutes,
but heard nothing of Jim, and finally
he descended to see what had become OF
him.
He had scarcely reached the foot of
the stairs, when q large bag was thrown
over his head, and held him prisoner.
"Now Pve got We, I guess ye won't
come after melons again." said their
eaptor, farmer Williams hired man.
He marched them up to the house and
they were ushered into the presence Of
the old farmer
"Well, boys, we expected you would
large plate of melons and set it before
them. "NOw, boys, help yourselves"
said the farmer.
Notwithstanding their fear of punish
ment, they ate heartily of the feast, and
drank some cider he gave them. When
they had finished they looked with puz-
zled faces at the farmer, as he opened
the door and said: "NOw, boys, you can
90 home, and the next time you want
any melons don't come the back way"
They earnestly thanked the farmer
and quickly ran off toward their homes.
"Jim, rve met for the last time with
the Farmers Tormenters.' This night
| have learned q lesson | shall never for
get," said Tom.
Jim assented, and said he would be-
have in future, and the next night the
name of the "Farmers' TOrmentorsn
was changed to "'The Farmers Aid So
ciety."
