Lord Northbrook, the vlceroy OF
India Is fully alive to the perila OF the
situation, and has begun TO make ar"

becoming fairly aroused 10 the gravity
of the case and TO tho necessity of their
taking steps TO save the lives OF
their fellow subjects. England has
to struggle not only for the

also for the purpose OF preserving her
own prestige In the East, The failure
on the part of the English government

RHGLAND's STRUGGLE AGAINST A
NEW FOE.

The statesmen of England In the
midst of a heated contest between the
Liberals and Conservatives for the
possession of the home government
find their attention called to their
East India possessions by the danger
of one Of the most appalling calamities
that the history of the world furnishes
any account of. All the accounts from
the East represent the famine in India,
caused by the failure of the rice crop,
as assuming frightful proportions.
Sixty million of souls dwell in the val
ley of the Ganges, Of these at least one
half are without their usual supply of
food, andin Imminent danger OF starv-
alton unless they are fed by the gov
eminent. This supply must be con-
tinued for seven months, until new
crop comes in next September. The

Ing numbers on them, from to 1000 CORE

TWENTY YEARS IN TIE PEN1TBNrIARY FOR
PAUL MoRoNo.--Paul Morono, indicted for
violating Josephine Laterzo, a little girl seven
years Of age, was arraigneG In the Hustinga
Court yesterday morning, and pleaded "not
uilty."- Having NO counsel to act for him,
the clerk of the court, Mr.. JiIkins, by di.
reetion of Judge Guigon, selected by lot the
following jury from the venire summoned /:
Messrs. Leroy S. Edwards, William Haynes,
Lemuel Powers, I. II. Wake, r. 81. Mitchell,
A. L. Burford, c. j. Anderson, ,iSilas L. John
son. John B. Purcell, w. II. Spence, John
N. King, and GeorgeL. Bidgood.
The witnesses examined were the little
girl, her mother (Mrs. Laterzog and Captain
j. M. Tyler. Of the police force, who found
out Morono's hiding. place and arrested him.
Not more than twenty-five or thirty minutes
were consumed in hearing the evidence.
Mr.. Cabell, the Commonwealth's attorney,
addressed the jury for few minutes. He
declared that If there ever was an offence Of
the kind demanding the infction Of the
death-penelty this was it. He knew that in
asking them to find such verdict he was
doing grave and solemn thing, but he was
clearly convinced that justice demanded it !;
and if that penalty was not enforced in this
instance it might as well be wiped from the
statute-books of the State. a- -.
The jury retired and consulted, and in ten
minutes came into court and announced that
they found the accused guilty, and fixed the
term of his Imprisonment inthe penitentiary
at twenty years.
Morono received the announcement with
composure, not to say Indifference.
He was recommitted to jail, aud after re-
ceving sentence will be taken to the peni-
tentiary. ", ;,5:. 49,, ...s
