The camp is pitched on both sides of the road--on one side are the people, and on the other the animals. Caunipoor is a strong military station, with four handsome barracks; there is also an important missionary society.
The town possesses some handsome schools and private buildings, and a Christian church, in pure Gothic style. 12th January.

They are built by government.
