providing other employment, such as spinning.
weaving, husking rice, &C.; and the ~atfOrding
relief in each locality to persons whose caste
usages and feelings precluded the application
of a labour test, women of good family, and
others who might be in great distress, either
gratuitously, or partly gratuitously, by the
sale of grain under the market rates. or with
due precautions by the advance of money or
grain to be subsequently repaid. The com
mittee made those suggestions under the be-
lief that the local committees ia charge of re-
lief operations might desire to act in regard to
gratuitous relief with a ~liberality exceeding the
limits by which they would be bound if the
funds were only public funds, and that they
would exercise a more liberal discrimination
both as to the extent and manner in which re-
lief should be afforded if that relief was not
from the subscriptions which the liberal respon-
ses to the committees appeal had so largely
called forth. The Lieutenant-G Governor had
gladly accepted the suggestions, and directions
had been issued to the several local committees
to make, previous to the commencement of the
rains, the necessary provisions for clothing those
receiving gratuitous relief and unable to work
for it, and to consider literally claims to assis-
lance of the classes removed from the COM
mon labourers. The committee trusted that
the action taken by them would be as ~satisfac-
tory to the subscribers in England as they
were assured it would be to those who had con-
tributed to the Famine Fund in India. The
fund at the Mansion House now amounts 10 all
to LII, O00Z., of which loo, 000I. has already
been transmitted to India.

THE FAMINE IN INDIA,
(From The Daily Naws.)

The Lord Mayor received a letter on the
subject of the Indian Famine from the Hon.
Vernon Fl. Schaleh, G. S.. l., the President of
the Central Relief Committee at Calcutta. He
states that his lordship would have learnt from
the 18th fortnightly narrative Of the drought
in Bengal that the Government were success
fully completing the importation of grain into
the famine districts, and we're providing la
bour and the means of purchasing that grain to
the poorer classes. 1t was clear, however,
that the pressure was more and more affecting
the classes above that of the common labouyer,
and that for the next two months at least their
sufferings would, from the gradual exhaustion
of their resources, increase in severity from
day to day. The Calcutta Committee, being
DESTROYS of supplying the poor and destitute
with clothing during the approaching inclement
season of the rains, and Of a~ffording to the
other classes whose caste usages and feelings
precluded the application to them of a labour
test greater assistance in such manner as might
be considered best in each particular locality,
suggested during the last month to the Lieute-
nant-Governor of Bengal fSr Richard TempIe)
to undertake the entire expense q, giving re-
lief in the famine districts in these three WAYS
namely, the distribution of gratuitous relief
to persons in need of it and unable to work
the provision of useful employment for those
people who were in need and were able to
work, by instituting minor relief works, and

TIE PRESS AT THE STATE FAIR.-That
inimitable newpaper correspondent, Capt.
Dossey Battle, in the last number of the
Rocky Mount Mail, makes the following
comments on several gentlemen of the Press
at the recent State Fair.
The show of trotters was slim and unin-
teresting. But the show of newspaper men
was large-though not pretty. Woodson
was the ugliest and your esteemed reporter
the cleverest. Stamps would have been
the best looking, had he not taken his august
features out of repose in trying to smile on
a girl on the grand stand. She was look
ing at another fellow, and disappointment
soured his visage. The most philosophic
was Avery of the Piedmont Press, He is
the man who, on the retreat from Peters
burg, told his servant to throw away his
overcoat, KNAPP sack, everything, but STICK
TO THAT KEG.
We regret that the correspondent should
know so little of human nature Why
man, we did not have the bad grin, but the
sun was shining in our eyes.

OUR DRAMA.-The second appearance OF
the Tarboro Thespian Corps for this sea-
son was made last Tuesday night. The
grand success of the first effort augured q
full attendance, which was realized when
the doors were opened.
The piece performed was "The Nick OF
the Woods" piece of rather too heavy
metal for an amateur troupe, but the for
men successes of our Thespian Corps has
given it boldness, which also counteracts
and generally ensures success. The prin-
cipal character, the Jibbenainosay, was
played by Mr.. w. r. Kicks. 1t was one
of exceeding difficulty, being on the heavy
tragic order, but was carried out in a very
happy style Mr. Kicks, though new stal
upon our boards, is rapidly becoming one
of the public's favorites. The lady &C
trcsses were the same as in the last piece
and, we hope, fully sustained the stand
they have gained in the estimation of the
public.
The only new character of note in Tues
days play was Mr. James Pennington in
the person of "Big Tom Bruce" Mr.
Pennington is weighty in comedy.
Mr.. Bailey announced that he woAl(
some time next week give a children's en-
tertainment, composed of variety o
songs, dances, tableaux, &C., which viii
doubtless be peculiarly interesting. Mr.
Bailey has worked assiduously to furnish
amusement to the public and it should &C
knowledge his services by liberal patron
age.
