At Limoges, in France, a .sad affair has occurred.
The place at which the soldiers er the garrie;on are made
to bathe in the Vienne, and which is at about a mile
from the town, is protected at night by a small military
post, and three nights back a corporal three soldiers
of the Ist Regiment were.on day_ there— One of the
men mounted. guard as Sentinel, wiiile the other two
and the corporal . were in a' tent. After- a time, the
corporal being asleep,
the two men, who were somewhat
intoxicated,
slipped out, and ta,king a beat proceeded to
row aeross the river. The sentinel,' seeing them leave,
called up the corporal, hot when the latter arrived, they
were halt'-way across. In a few sceonis more they were
lost sight or In- the darkness. Presently they were heard
raising cries for help ; and it is believed that the violence
of the Current.'Mnst have caused the boat to drift towaus
a cascade formed of steep and sharp Pointed rocks which
rise in the river. It was, however, impessible to render
them any assistance; and before long their cries cursed..
There was no doubt that the boat had been dashed down
the cascade, and that the two men had perie;hed. The
•
nest morning a number of soldiers and. bargemen
searched for them everywhere ; but no trace of them
could be discovered. The bargemen, who know the
river well, say that in all probability their bedies will
be carried several leagues before they come to the sur-
face.—Galignani.
