FAMINE IN INDIA.

Great Suffering Among the Inhab. itants of the Madras Presidency. MADRAS, Aug. 6.-Though the monsoon | set in some time ago in some parts of In | dia, dispelling all fears of failure of the
 crops in that portion of the country where | the rains had fallen, there has been no
 rainfall in the Chingleput and North Ar
 cot districts in the presidency, and all
 hopes of averting a famine have been 1 abandoned.
 The heat is unprecedented. The stand ing grain and other crops have succumbed to the long drought and are withered and burned. Already the effects of scarcity of food are being felt, and there is great suf- fering among the inhabitants of the dis tricts. Many deaths from starvation have been reported. It is also impossible to get food for the cattle, the pasture lands being devoid of grasses and in many places the streams have dried up, rendering it i'm possible to get water for them. Horses, COWS, donkeys and other live stock are dying in large numbers everywhere in the districts.
 It is not only the poorer classes of the population that are suffering from the scarcity of food. Many natives of the high castes are making application to the authorities for relief to keep themselves and their families from starvation.
 The district of Chingleput contains an area of 2,753 square miles, and, according to the figures of the latest census obtain able--that of 1871-has 93S, ,1S4 inhab- itants. North Arcot contains 15, 146 square miles within it's boundaries, and the population is placed at over 2,0O0,0 sonia

OBITUARY.


Death of Mrs. Catharine Corbett.
 Mrs. Cathsrine Corbett died at her home, No. 113 Olive street, yesterday morning at 4 o'clock. Deceased had been in failing health for the last three years. She had lived long and useful life, hon. ored and revered by her children and re- spected by all who knew her. She had reared her children wisely, instilling into their minds right principles and honorable aspirations, and she leaves a memory which will be warmly and lovingly cher ished. Her declining yc ITS were smoothed by the tender care of those who loved her most, and all that medical skill and watch ful attention could do was done to prolong her days. She died of disease incident to old age and failing strength. Her husband passed away four years ago. She leaves one son-Mr. Thomas W. Corbett, the Broadway business men-and four daugh- ters, three of whom reside here and one in Ansonia.
