The Famine in Northern China.

The horrors of the Chinese famine are
impossible to describe, and happily in
conceivable TO American minds. AT a
recent meeting in Dublin, Sir Thomas
Wade, British Minister to China, said
that FIVE provinces, covering an area OF
$4,000 square miles, with population
of over l20, O00,000 Uhlee times OF that
of al. the United States), have been so
stricken with drought that the ordinary
sources of food have been almost entire
ly dried up, reducing to a state OF star
walton not less than $4,000, 900 people.
Not long since the Christian Union
published letter from China, in which
it was stated, on the authority OF the
Governor of Shansi, that the number
already starved aud frozen was estima-
ted at 100000. Whole villages had
been depopulated dogs and fowls, and
everything living but crows and carrion
birds were dead. 1.-THE London estimate
that 100000 have persisted is no ex-
ageration, but those actually waiting for
death by starvation, more or less
prompt, are still lO,UUO,UGu perhaps OF
whom relief will be too tardy to save
perhaps 1000, 1000: while if the rains are
denied in Sbansi, Honan, Shenshi again
this spring, nothing but foreign or Di-
vine interposition will save 100000
people from Death
Substantially the same testimony is
born by gentleman holding an official
position in Picking, in letter to the
Boston Journal. The sale Of children
and kindred for food has been going on
for some time, and cannibalism has been
largely resorted to. Had the drought
occurred in Southern China there would
be less difficulty in relieving the famine,
owning tc the abundance of water COM
muuicahon. In the north, however,
there are no such means for meeting
the emergency, there being only earth
roads, and those Indifferent

e4 Our COUNTY NoMINEEs.-The
Charlestown Spirit remarks that the
candidates for the Legislature-Capt.
Jacob S. Melvin and Maj. w. II. T.
Lewis-are we'll and favorably known
drought the county, as gentlemen of
the highest personal integrity, and will
beyond a doubt-their election being
assured-represent the county, honest
ly, faithfully and fairly. Mr.. Francis
7. Lynch, the nominee for Circuit
Clerk, has been the popular and efficient
deputy in that Office for five years past,
aud bears the just reputation of being
au honorable, courteous and capable Of
6cer. His opponent Mr.. L. G. Wash
ington, the present Clerk, by his mag
unanimous action before the Convention,
cemented his immediate friends more
strongly 10 him than ever, and won the
admiration and friendship of. all. In
deed, so evenly balanced were these TWO
gentlemen in the estimation of the
Democrats of Jefferson, in the primary
canvass, that many voters were unable
to decide between the two, and the Sc
lection of either would have given al
most general satisfaction. AS to the
nomination of "Uncle" Tom Moore for
reelection, that was foregone conciu-
sion, and in making him the candidate
by reclamation the Convention truly re-
fected the wishes of the people. The
Court House, without his presence in
the County Clerks office, where he has
served with brief interim for nearly
hall a century, would almost seem blank.
Altogether the ticket selected is good
one, and we hope will receive the hearty
endorsement of the voters at the polls
in October.

We congratulate the people of the

men who have been nominated for the
clerkships and the Legislature. Messrs.
Lewis and Melvin are heightened, hon.
orable men, with fair ability and great
energy of character, and with expert
ence will make themselves felt in any
Legislative body. If they fail TO accom-
plish the wishes of the people, it will be
because they do not clearly comprehend
them, and not from lack of honesty OF
purpose or disregard of their duty as
mere representatives.

CRAZED by THE ECLIPSE.

In the dark path of the late eclipse
across Texas, ZIG miles in Width. there
were thousands of ignorant people, both
white and black, had not heard that
anything peculiar was about to happen.
Many of these people the eclipse sur
prised at work in their fields. Many
iudicrous scenes arc reported. Especial
ly on the plantation of United States
Senator Cook near Waco, was 1t that
the negroes went to praying, believing
verify that the day of Judgment had
come. A terrible tragedy in Johnson
county may be set down TO the eclipse.
Ephraim Miller, colored, with his faml-
ly of wife and four children, lived near
Buchanan, in that county, whittier he
had removed from Tennessee six months
ago. On the morning Of the eclipse he
said he had heard the world was com
ing to an end that evening, and if so ne
intended to be so sound asleep that the
trumpet of the Angel Gabriel could not
awaken him.
When the eclipse commenced and the
darkness of totality came on he ran
from the field to his house with hatch
ct in his hand. He was followed by a
negro woman named Nancy Ellison,
who also thought the world was com
ing to an end. As she got to the house
Milers wife rushed out under the same
delusion, and looking up at the beautl'
full corona of light around the black
moon, screamed "come sweet chariot!
at the same time rushing across cot
ton field wringing her hands. In the
mean time Miller wishing to take his
ten year old boy with him to the other
side of Jordan, raised his Ratchet and
split his sons head open. Leaving the
latter weltering in bis blood and strug-
Cling in the last throes of death, the
father, on ladder, assembled to the top
of the house. Here, with new razor,
he cut his throat from ear to ear, and
fell to the ground a corpse. His two
little daughters escaped by hiding I'M
