BERLIN, SEPT. 3.—Frau Vettina Von Arnim, im-
mediately after the sentence had been passed upon her
in the affitir with the magistrates at Berlin, retired to her
country seat. It is said that she does not mean to make
an appeal against the sentence of imprisonment, for as
she has once before been fined for calumny she can now
be acquitted only by the annulling of her sentence by
the King himself. The right of appeal to the King in
cases of private wrongs, has been in force in our law for
the last 10 years.

A horrible parricide was committed last week at
Anneau (Eure et Loire). A man named Leroy, 72
years of ago, had given up to his son the whole of his
lroperty, reserving to himself a certain annuity, and a
odging in the house with his son and daughter-in law.
As a stipulated allowance had fallen into arrear until
a sum of 1,900 f. was due to the old man, he was obliged
to summon his son before the juge de paix. who esta-
blished the demand, and made an order for its payment
by instalments of 100 f, a month. This proceeding gave
rise to constant quarrels between the father and son,
and even to blows. As the father was not seen for two
daYs, the neighbours suspected foul play, and called in
the poor old
t:!lo magistrates, who, on entering, found tho body of
tier,man mutilated in the most shocking man-
trthe skull being fractured so that the brain pro-
anudle.d.,sand seven of his ribs being broken. The son
his wife were taken into custody, and have been
committed for trial.
