CRIME IN FRANCE.

The Court of Assizes of the Indre has just tried
a man named Gaumy, charged with attempting to
rob and murder a farmer named Debourge,g, re-
siding at Thavenetso. Gaumy's wife, and ti,:eir
son, a lad thirteen years of age, were also charged
as accomplices in the attempt to rob. On the 29th
July last, Debourges perceived that a quantity of
wheat sheaves had been stolen from his fields, and
the next night he and his son determined to keep
watch and catch the thief if possible. They ac-
cordingly concealed themselves in a thick hedge,the
son armed with a gun and the father with a pitch-
fork. About midnight they saw three persons enter
the field, and recognised them as the prisoVers, who
had been long known to live by plunder, as the
father had already been condemned four times for
thefts, and was well known to be a desperate cha-
racter. While the thieves were collecting their 100 di
young Debourges took aim at the father, and pulled
the trigger, but the cap only
exploded, and the three
prisoners, on hearing the noise, took g
his son ran after Gaumy, Debourges overtook the
woman, and secured her after so
to flhtllhile
,
some resistance.
Meanwhile the son returned from pursuing Gaumy,
and told his father that he feared the latter would
n urn his gun and murder one or both
of o
them. He had scarcely spoken when two shots
sormet. with
were fired from a hedge about ten paces distant, and
Debourges fell seriously wounded in the abdomen and
chest, both shots having struck him. His wounds,
however, did not prove fatal, but he will feel
their effects as long as he lives. Gaumy and the
two other prisoners were arrested next day,. In
court the elder male prisoner behaved with the ut-
most hardihood, contradicting and threatening al
the witnesses. The woman pretended to be deaf
and dumb, and gave no answer to the President:
questions. As the evidence was conciusiv.eisttabli
jury at once returned a verdict of guilty

LAYING OF TUE TELEGRAPH CABLE BETWEEN
CAGLIARI AND SICILY.—The Hawthorne, screw
steamer, from Cagliari, has arrived at Maretimo Island, 12
miles from Sicily, having laid the cable successfully to that
port. She was ordered thence to Malta, to ship additional
cable required to complete the line to Sicily, the ship having
been taken out of her course by currents,
ORIGIN OF PETROLEUM.—In America an oil has
been for many years collected by the Secleca Indians
for medical purposes, chiefly as a stimulating onibrocation;
but the first discovery of a large supply was made in l!SON
