When told that they could help them selves to some of the shelled corn atone ofthe barrels they rushed eagerly' to the wagon and fey ravenously upon, it, eating the '"raw corn by tlie handful with a keen relish. Their nearest neighbor w as' four miles, and was in a like de ' plorable condition. Everywhere the party went the same story of suffering war told, and the faces of the poor people Soke more elo quently than words, the children especially presenting an appear ance of emaciation and, wanness heartrending. It takes about a week of hard traveling to '.'reach Patrick county, ami the people, it seems, put off too long their ap peals to the out side world for help. Tlie cry heard on all sides from, them is, "Give us corn and flour.'.' During the past two weeks their struggles to keep up life have lieeii terrible, and every expedient .has lieen' resorted to. Every known weed that w as not poisonous w as cooked, but unfortunately (he sea- r " son has been so backward that many wild salids have not yet sprung up.

Thus ' by a series of unprecedented and unforeseen evils over five thousand people in the most re mote section of'the State have bejeii brought fo starvation. The re. portsof their condition have not lieen exaggerated, and their situa tion is daily growing worse. Re-, lief committees are out in Danville, Richmond, and other cities of the Statetamlare making 'great efforts to get supplies. - - The Legend o the Beautiful Hand. There was a 'dispute among"! hree ladies as to which had the most beautiful hand. One sat by a stream and dipped her hand into the. water and held it up;: another plucked strawberries until the ends of her fingers were pink, a nd another gath ered violets until her hands were fragrant. An old, haggard wo man parsing by asked, "Who will give, me a gift f ,For,l am poor." All three denied her; but another . 1 who sat near, Unwashed in the stream, unstained ftdli fruit, un-i "adorned with flowers, gave her a ! little gift and satisfied the poor-W o- j man. And then she asked them what w its the dispute, and they told hei and lifted up before her their lieau tiful hands. "Beautiful, indeed," said she, when she saw them.
