The INDIAN FAMNE.-Intelligenc received
in London at the Indian Office, direct from
Lord Northbrook, the Governor General,
gives very bad aspect to the present state of
affairs in the famine visited districts of Brit
ish India. According to Lord Northbrook the
government will be obliged to maintain three
million persons for three months Already
the famine has cost the Indian government
over seven million dollars. Suffering India
speaks loudly, and calls for universal sympa-
thy. England owes much to India, and Eng
land is not unwilling to show her gratitude.
But all that England can DO will not prevent
thousands from dying Of starvation. For the
freaks of nature and the mysterious ways OF
Providence governments are not to be held re-
sponsible. Better arrangements, however,
might have been made to meet the emergency
India will be heavy burden upon Mr.
Disraeli's shoulders. A few more sucn
visitations and England will be.glad to be rio
OF her Indian Empire.

A Clergyman COnquers a Burglar.

A recent achievement Of the Rev. d. F.

siding at CLARK Hill, NEAR Niagara Falls,
in Canada, IS thus described by the Buffalo
CoD,merciaL Advertiser: "On Wednesday
night last Mr.. Mcleod was awakened from

there might possibly be something wrong
about the premises, he proceeded TO an adj

Shaking Down Crows.

A Delaware correspondent of the Balti-
more Ame71cdn writes these queer stories
about crows: "a novel amusement,
which is at present indulged i'll to great
extent in the upper part of this State, is
crow shooting as a substitute for pigeon
matches. The rules and customs are the
same in either case. The substitute was
made out of sort of humane notion among
the people, as well as for the pecuniary
benefit of residents about Reedy Island, i'll
the Delaware, from which place the crows
are taken. l have been told that this spot
is the favorite rOosting ground OF these
birds, and that toward nightfall they con-
gregate there by thousands. When dark
ness overspreads the island, the catchers
enter among the low trees with bags, and
catch any desired number, simply pluck
ing them from the limbs like so much
fruit. The birds cannot fly in the darkness,
and even il shaken from their rOOsts, they
cling to the first object that comes within
their reach. 1t is said that man standing
beneath the tree from which the birds are
shaken with outstretched arms, will soon

Senator Sumner, the President, and
San Domingo.

The late Senator Sumner prepared for
delivery in the Senate, in March, 1871, a
speech in reference to the San Domingo
job, for his persistent opposition to which
it is well known he incurred the hatred
and i'll will of the President and the rest
of the ring interested in getting the bill
through Congress. This speech, through
the intercessiOn of some of Mr.. Sumner s
| friends, was withheld, and has never been
published until since the Senator's death,
when it found its way into print through
| the New York Tribune. We append here
to an interesting extract. MIR. Sumner
| said:
AT last, some time in June, 1870, a
| few weeks before the San Domingo treaty
was finally rejected by the Senate, the
Secretary came to my house about 3
O'Clock in the evening and remained till at
| ter the clock struck midnight, the whole
protracted visit being occupied in earnest
and reiterated appeal that ! should cease
my opposition to the Presidential scheme !;
and here he urged that the election which
made General Grant President had been
carried by him and not by the Republican
party, so that his desires were entitled to
especial attention. In his pressure on me
he complained that | had opposed other
projects of the President. In reply to my
inquiry he named the repeal of the Ten
ure-of-Office act, and the nomination OF
Mr.. Jones as Minister to Brussels, both OF
which the President had much at heart,
and he concluded with the San Domingo
| treaty.
Il assured the Secretary firmly and
simply that, seeing the latter as l did,
with all its surroundings, my duty
was plain, and that | must con-
tinue to oppose it as long as 1t
appeared to me wrong. He was
not satisfied, and renewed his pressure in
various forms, returning TO the point again
and again with persevering assiduity that
would not be arrested, when at last, find
ing me infiexible, he changed his appeal.
saying, why not go to London? |
offer you the English mission. 1t is

"Of his authority from the President
know nothing. l speak only of what he
said. My astonishment was heightened by
Indignation at this too palpable attempt to
take me from my post of duty; but / sup
pressed the feeling which rose to the lips
and rejecting that he was an old FRIEND
and in my own house, answered gently
We have minister there that cannot bt
bettered.' Thus already did the mission
to London begin to pivot on San DO
mingo.
II make this revelation only because
is important to a correct understanding 0
the case, and because the conversation
from beginning to end, was official in char
acter, relating exclusively to public busi
ness, without suggestion or allusiOn of
personal nature, and absolutely withou
the slightest word on my part leading il
the most remote degree to any such over
ture, which was as unexpected as unde
sired.

A Remarkable Story.

The jefferson City MO- Journal pub
fishes the following extraordinary COW
and calf story:
We are informed of a most remarkable
occurrence, said TO have taken place at the
farm of A. D. Wilson, well-known citl--
zen of this vicinity, which, if true, and
our informant is of undoubted veracity,
presents the most singularly interesting
instance of Dame Natures freaks that has
lately come to our knowledge. A COW
that had died in attempting to give birth
to calf was opened and found 10 contain
two full-siZed male calves, and to the
great astonishment of the owner and by
ISLANDERS, seventy-five other perfectly
formed calves, ranging in size from that OF
a small mouse to full-grown rat. None
Of them were alive, but quite number
showed signs of having possessed anima-
ton. This is certainly the most astonish'
ing case of fecundity on record. Had the
COW lived, she would have been mos
valuable animal for new beginners in tht
stock-raising line, producing a whole
drove of cattle at a single birth.

BAD Manners in tho White house.

A number Of gentlemen from South Carolina,
members of the late taxpayers Convention held
in that State, visited the White House in WASH
ington on Friday to pay their respects to General
Grant. They did SO partly by appointment, and
were received by the President. But unfortu-
nately for the credit of the Republic, that func-
tionary had just had read to him an extract from
a speech made in the Convention while in session,
in which late Confederate Colonel made some
very severe charges against the conduct of the
General Government toward the people of his
state. The result was that the President listened
10 the address OF the spokesman of the delega-
tion, and replied IN long speech long for Grant,
III which he endeavored to insult all present. -
lie was told that the speech he referred TO dis
countenanced by the Convention at the time, and
that the person who made il had not spoken the
sentiments of their people who desired to eyince
conciatory and friendly spirit and it was hardly
fair to hold the whole people of the State respon-
sible for the indscretlon of one person. But this
had only the effect TO produce, II anything, more
anger 10 the Presidential eyc and more insolence
TO his tongue, aud the delegation, it is said sadly
aud silently withdrew, panied and deeply mort-
fed. 1: is truly mortifyinG that the President
should forget that good manners is expected 10 be
shown to delegates of the people when they visit
the capital This gross insult offered to poor
and humiha'ct $.ato is not in keeping with the
rulers OF great and generous nation. The con-
duct of the President would have disgraced any
of the ruder nations Of the earth, and much moro
these pretending to the clviliz iton and polish OF
the nineteenth century.

All Three Counties TO Give Demo-
cratic MajorIties,

Our correspondent FARMER" in the GAZETTE
of yesterday, who is rarely sanguine, and pTides
himself in being careful of his calculations claim
to have the data on which he confidently predicts
Democratic majorities in each OF the three coun
ties in our State. We know him we'll, and feel
very well satisfied that he has not put his figures
too high, and that in New Castle county he under
rates the majority the people will give in favor OF
retaining the State in the hands of white men,
rather than rick it in the keeping of a party
made up o: a majority OF negroes, to be control
led by a few wlre-pulers, who would like to
enrich themselves at the expense of the tax-pay-
eIs.
FARMER" claims from his data, that Kent
county will give fifteen hundred, Sussex eight
hundred and New Castle two hundred and fifty
Democratic maj ority. THIS will only be an az
eregaie of twenty five hundred and fifty. and Ger
tanly the white people OF the State should do SO
much to keep their schools free from invasion by
negroes.
