------- -
At a village in the Commune of La Ferte-Fresnel,
in France, a scene has lately been witnessed which bats filled all
minds with consternation. A farmer, seated at '4:he table of a
o ins-house with several other persons, agreed to sell a fat pig to
a neighbouring proprietor, and to deliver the animal upon the
following Wednesday. The bargain was, sealed by a few glasses
of cider, according to ancient usage, after which the seller and
buyer rose from the table. Upize:, leaving the cabaret the pur-
chaser recollected that he Inv; a pressing engagement for the
Wednesday, and stated to 'tile seller that it would be an accom-
modation to him to r,,ceive the amount one day before that
already fixed. To this no objection was made, and in fact the
pig was delivered to the buyer upon the Tuesday evening.
Having thus disposed of the animal, the seller was returning
home, when, near his own door, he was accosted by a man
leading a bear, who begged a night's lodging for himself and
his charge. The farmer, under other circumstances, would not
have felt an inclination to entertain such guests, but as night
was falling, and the wind chilling and frosty, and recollecting,
too, that the pig-stye was vacant, his good feeling prevailed,
and he determined to give shelter for the night to the bear-
lea ler and Ilia savage companion. When they arrived at the
'farm the bear was installed in the pig's place, and his master
having fed and made him up for the night, retired to the
farmer's cottage, where he was invited to sit near the fire, ad-
mitted to the table, and provided with abed. The night passed
on, but it would appear that two of the persons who had been
drinking at the same table with the farmers when the terms of
the bargain were agreed upon, and who were under the imprei.
stun that the pig was to be sent on the Wednesday, had det6e-
mined to steal the animal before it was so removed, Ac-
cordingly they repaired to the farm at night, and ono of them
crept into the stye, whilst the other remained on Ow: outside of
the hedge. What pas ;ed between the ill-fated intruder and the
ferocious animal was known only by the pools of blood, broken
bones, and fragments of flesh which were found strewed upon
the floor the following morning. The other robber, feeling
uneasy at not receiving the agreed signal from his accomplice,
ventured to approach the house, and finding all still, crept
nearer to the den. Ile called to his comrade, but all was
silent. He then determined to penetrate into the stye, but
had advanced but half his body when the ferocious beast, whose
;liirst for blood had become excited, threw himself upon him.
With great fury. The unfortunate man was overwhelmed, but
after a short time succeeded by an extraordinary effort in sav-
ing himself from the rage of his enemy. He was so weakened,
however, by the loss of blood, from his wounds, that he was
unable to fly, and he fell in the garden, where was found by
the people of the farm. He died next day in the greatest tor-
t wo. —French Paper.
ISLE OF WIGHT, MARCH 18.—A melancholy
accident occurred at this place on Friday night last, by which
"%lit& Traquellair, the niece of the late Lord Holmes, was
burnt in so shocking a manner that she expired at eleven
o'clock yesterday morning, after twelve hours' extreme suffer-
ing. An inquest was held on the body, when it appeared that
the unfortunate lady had returned front spending the evening
at the Rev. Mr, Ilurrard'a, the Rector of Yarmouth, and was
left by her attendants undressing by the fire, when they went
to bed, at eleven o'clock. Shortly afterwards an alarm was
given, and Miss Traquehair was found in the garden with her
clother burnt off her back. She was a most amiable woman,
4nd was universally respected by all who had the pleasure of
her acciu; intance,
