A frightful murder was committed a few days on
the person of a farmer named Villeveille, residing
in an isolated country house in the suburb of Aix (Savoie).
The body, with the throat cut in a most dreadful manner
and with several marks of blows on the head, was found
lying in a pool of blood in the cellar. Two men, father and
son, who live in the neighbourhood, have been arrested and
imprisoned on suspicion. One of them had a short time
since purchased, for a life annuity, a property belonging to
I the murdered man.

The Correctional Tribunal of Valenciennes has
just tried twenty-nine pitmen employed in coal.
mines near that town on a charge of coalition for obtaining
an advance of wages, and of having used violence to
compel other mon to join them in a strike. According to
the evidence given, it appears that some of the men
imbued with communistic principles persuaded their
companions to enter into a coalition for the pur-
pose of obtaining a uniform pay of 3fr a day for all the pit-
men, without regard to their capabilities. Instead of making
known their demands to the managers, the accused went to
the pit's mouth on the nights of the 20th and 21st ult,, and
compelled all the men to cease working, at the same time
extinguishing the fires of the engines used for drawing up the
coals. Order was however restored on the 22d by the armed
force, and the offending parties were arrested. The charges
having been fully established, the Tribunal conchmed seven
of the accused to be imprisoned for Six week 3, 15 far a
month, five for a fortnight, two for a week, and all con •
jointly to pay the ccsts.
A horrible murder has just been discovered at
Ilsutes Combos (Isere). In the beginning of last
month a farmer named Moiroud disappeared, and no traces
could be found of him, although the police, at the instance
of his wife, made inquiries f
informed
and near. Last week, how-
ever, the authorities were of certain rumours to
tho effect that Moiroud had probably been murdered by his
wife and a man named Chcnavas, with whom she had for
some time maintained an illicit connection. They were
accordingly arrested, and the woman at last confessed that
Chenaves, at her instigation, had murdered her husband by
striking him on the head with an axe, and that they had
then burnt the body in an oven which they had previously
nearly filled with wood for the purpose. This confession
was proved to be true by the discovery of calcined human
bones in the ash-hole under the oven. The two prisoners
were coumgaitted fur trial.
