The following extraordinary storyis now going
the round of the Naples journals :—" A reason living
in the Rue Forba was awakened a few nights back
by a knocking at his doer. On opening, he saw
two strangers, who asked him to go along with
them to execute a piece of work of great urgency.
The man at first hesitated, but being persuaded by the offer
of a handsome reward, at length consented. He was then
blindfolded, and having been led to a carriage, the vehicle
drove off. Alter having been driven for some time, the car-
riage at length stopped. The men was 12d up several flights
of stairs, and the bandage then taken from his eyes. He was
then ordered to make, in the wall of the chamber in which
he found himself, a hole suffick.ntly long and wide to
contain a coffin. The mason at first refused, but, being
menaced with death, he performed the work required. When
he had finished, au empty coffin was brought trues another
room, and at the same time a young woman, hand-
somely dressed, was dragged in, struggling violently. She
was then forced into the coffin, the lid screwed down, and
the coffin placed in the recess, which the mason, still under
menaces of death, was compelled to close up, so that no-
thing could be seen. That done he was again blind-folded,
and taken in the same carriage to the sea beach, where the
two changers, having removed the bandage from his eyes,
gave him 10 piastres, told him to go his way, adding that
they did not impose even secrecy on him. The mason im-
mediately gave notice to the police of the inci4ent,but could
afford »o igfornsatiou ag to the
