own and near to his own house. Front inquiries our
come ant learnt that Mr. Tomlinson left his house on

ing of small birds, and as be did not return about the
expected time, it was thought he bad gone further than
usual, or was detained by some friends. Some time
was suffered to elapse before any south was made for
the miming gentleman, when some of the servants going to
seek him found his lifeless body reared against a wall, the
head and face fearfully laceated by shot and bleeding. No
i suspicion of foul play s entertained, and it is supposed that
the decued, when standing by the wall, lied either mei-
&chilly caught the trigger of his gun, with his foot or trea-
son, and that the charge within the weapon was in
his face and head. The deceased was much respede& and
was in the prime of life, about forty-two years old.

DREADFUL OUTRAGE IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.
—The Start Public of Lyres gives the following account
of an odious crime committed two evenings since on the
Paris and Lyons Railway, between Villefrasche and Anse :
—" In a compartment of • second class carriage of the train
No. 22, were a young girl of eighteen and two priests. The
latter having both alighted at a station, the name of
which is not given, a man about forty years of age,
in a blue blouse, entered the same compartment. The
train had but just left the station, when he seized
the poor girl, threw her on the seat, tied her hands behind
her, crammed some paper into her mouth to stop her cries,
and committed on her a criminal assault of the moat
shameful nature. He afterwards robbed her of part of her
clothes, a purse containing about :10fr., and • gold ring ;
then, while the train was going rather slowly, owing to •
sharp curve in the line, be opened the door and made hie
escape unperceived by the guard or any of the passenger.,
se it was dark at the time. Os stopping at the pest sta-
tion, the poor girl was found in a most deplorable state.
As soon as she was able to speak, she gave an account of
the ill-treatment she bad received, and telegraphic des-
patches were instantly sent off in all directions giving •
description of the offender, with orders for his apprehen-
dm."
