FEARFUL FAMINE.

In virginia-People Starving to Death.
Thesituation in Jackson county Va, is be-
coming quite serious. Hundreds Of fam
lilies are on the verge of starvation, and I'M
less aid is speedily extended by the remain
der of the state, or outside world, most dis
astrous results may be expected. Some of
the more fortunate and influential people
of the county and others who have believed
the condition of the Inhabitants exaggera-
ted, and who have heretofore denied the re-
ports that from time to time have been
made public, hoping that things could be
tided over until the new crop could be
raised, but now much alarm prevails and
public meetings are being held in all the vii
lagos, and the local papers are printing
appeals for aid. Last weeks meetings were
held at White Pine and New Kentuck
both in Virginia, at which scores of citizens,
representing their respective neighbOr-
hoods, testified as to the extent of the
famine, many pitiful stories beirg told.
Hiram Cobb owner of mill said that
people would come at the rate of a dozen q
day, after walking great distances, for q
pint or quart of meal, some bringing q
half peck of grain or few ears of corn to
be ground. He said he knew men that had
gone for five days without food, and he
himself would soon be sufferer. ]. II.
Garrett said his neighbors were actually
starving. John Smith, county assessor,
said to his knowledge 300 families were in
danger of starving at New Kentuck. An
appeal for aid was signed bv representa-
tives of one hundred family. These are
but specimen stories. One familie is said
to have subsisted for FIVE days on lettuce,
and when found were nearly dead.
