since the muting of 1857. Some Of the
., A-,h .v,1 ATrfaaU NngSrrl-
mans, made attacks on the ParSees, enter
ing their houses and committing every kind

both sides are reported to have been killed.
The city authorities seem scarcely equal to
the emergency and the troops in the city
are not in sufficient numbers to preserve

tility TO the ParseeS is that one of the lat
ter wrote a book on various religions IN
