DREADFUL MURDER.—A horrible murder has
been committed at the small town of Corraeil, in the neighbour-
hood of Paris. Twenty robbers entered a farm-house, and
massacred the heads of the family and the domestics to the
number of 11 persons. By a kind of miracle, a little girl, six
years of age, escaped their fury by taking refuge in a dog-box,
whence she recognized the voice of the blacksmith attached to
the farm. On the following day the magistrates, informed of
the crime, went to the spot. The wife of the blacksmith said
her husband had been absent from the district for several days,
but one of the gendarmes, on going. %way, asked one of the
children of the blacksmith where his father was ? " Papa," re-
plied the boy, " is in his cellar counting money with the gen-
tlemen." Search was immediately made in the cellar, and the
20 assassins were found there assembled. They have been im-
prisoned at Versailles.—(Paris Paver.)
lioantur.c MUREER.—A horrible murder was
perpetrated on Monday (9th instant,) within two miles of Clon-
mel, on the person of Mr. Hammertoe, a gentleman of amiable
and inoffensive manners, and of an advanced period of life.
The ruffians, in effecting an entrance, awoke Mr. Hammerton,
who, from the head of the stairs, discharged a case of pistols,
I but it is feared without effect. The fire was returned, by which
Mr. Hamerton's servant was most dangerously wounded. The
ruffians then ascended the staircase, and closed with Mr. Ham-
erton, whom they beat in the most cruel and savage manner
with the butt-end of their pistols, until life was extinct. The
assassins then departed, taking with them only the fire-arms.—
