The murderers were armed with swords and broad nxes, and the butchers being sourmed and asleep, were unable to are themselves. Four batches were literally hacked to pieces, and two others were so fearinily out up that ono bag since died, and the other's life is despaired of. The night wre a very dark oné, and it will be difficult to reengnian tho raurderer. Accounts vary as to the set they belonged to. From some indications found on the scene of the mer snors, it is suspected that the murderere belong! to the Nilung sect. But another account states that the Akalies are suspected. The Akalies are a sort of fanatic Silba, a semi-sacerdotal class attached to the temples. They are the treoulent looking fellows who wear conical hats about a yard high, covered with amall weapons and the steel abuskers or sharp rings which they can hurl with terriblo, precision and offect. They aro respected and considerably feared. The Nihunga again are associated with all that is redblang and Bobanian. Their name indeed is
