the basin of La lis.utoye, along the marshes of Renan-
OOrt, which were inniediately drawn out of the:water.—
ne proved to be that of a female of 35 or 36 years of
ate, and the other that of a young girl'of 12 or 13; they
ere tied together by the wrists to the two extremities of
alribbon of three or four feet long, which appeared to ha
served for a child's sash. A little.dianinc. a from the place
a atraw hat was discovered suspended to a ,tree, on

remark, that the circumstance of the note written by the
child does not leave a doubt that she was before-hand
acquainted with the project
.of her parents, while it de-
plores the absence of all religious principle, and their in-
humanity in dooming their child to death, either by ak-
in advantage of and abusing her attachment for them, or
by resorting to violence.
