hours sad a half. In eonsesturnee of heavy rains, ited the

h-eased, and several of them were mew laid in the fields as if
dead. The bounds ultimately killed in grand sidle. Our

The following paragraph appears in the Gazette
de Frame of Thursday:—" At a masked ball
which took place at Cassel on the 31st of January,
the PRINCE ROYLL being pursued by several
masks, and apprehensive of bring recogui•ed,
changed masks with his valet.de-chumbrr. The
latter was accosted by the persons who had followed
the Prince, and had the imprudence to accept trom
them a glees of grog; he was immediately taken
awl expired the next day. The letter of the 9th
of February. which umiennices this event, .states,
that op to that day no trace had been discovered of
the parties implicated in this crime."
A mime of an extraordinary nature has occupied
the Court of Assize at Melon for several days:—A
person, named Mugger, who Om looked upon as a
sorcerer throughout the country, was murdered iu
the month of April, 1821. He had made himself
many enemies by the !bowers which were generally
attributed to him of killing cattle by witchcraft.
The perpetrators of this Murder were sought fu►
without socceis, till at leugth a person, of the
of Fourrel, the companion of Meager, voluntarily
confessed that he had committed the crime. how-
ever, he soon after retracted, and pretended that he
was induced to make a false deelaratiou in conse-
quence of a promise of obtaining • sum of 3,000
francs from his former master, IN. whom he
denounced as the assassin. But the Royal Court
acquitted M. olio clearly proved an alibi.
Porrril persisted in Chia statement before the Court
of Melun, and expressed himself in the enthusiastic
tone of • man who believes in all the delusions of
magic. He pleaded his own cause for nearly three
hours, in an extempore speech, which astonished his
auditory, and finally succeeded in obtaiutog a ver-
dict of acquittal.
