novirßur MURDER.
A Pads paper of Sunday last contains the following
account of a murder (committed salt is soppoted,
by a priest) from a Mayor of the Commune whets the
crime took plate.

"On Morida.May 9, 1822. in the afternoon, Mr.
Mae', ecclesiastic, of the age of 28, Core of Qttentin-
sar-Isere, went to the house of a young woman, whose
tragical cad I announced in my notice of June 5,
(Marie Gerin, whose married name was Charnalet),
and remained there about two hours. This woman,
who was very pious, was to have gone the next day
to communicate at Veury, a neighbouring parish,
sawn the first communion of children was to take
place, and it appears that the Cure appointed her an
hoer to hear her in confession is the evening. She
was seen entering the church about six in the even-
ing; she went in alone, and was not seen to come oat.
".The husband of this unfortunate woman went at
-nine o'clock to seek ber at the houses of several of her
relations ; he went with a female cousin of his wife
to the parsonage-house, contiguous to the church.—
The Care, who made them wait a few instants, s►id,
at first; he bad not seen her; then recollecting him•
self, added, be had seen her devoutly praying, ba
without speaking to her. While he spoke, the Cure
walked out from the pasonage, as if he feared they
might come in. The Cure afterwards held the lame
language to different persons, to others lie said, that
not having found this female in a decent dress
enough, he bad declined hearing her confession. The
Wednesday, it must be remarked, was a working day.
" About half-past four o'clock in the morning, an
inhabitant of the town, descending towards the plain
by a path not frequented at night, perceived. a little'
from it, and shoat two hundred yards from the par.
nonage, blood in abundanre, a penknife stuck in the
ground, and a string, about six metres long, both
bloody. In the same place were found raga of flesh.
and some fragments of Lone. Traces of blood led
other persons to the bank of the Isere, where the neck-
kerchief of the unfortunate woman was recognised,
without doubt placed there, to give rise to the idea
that she ball drowned herself. The idea of assassins•
tion occurred to no one in a country which, within
the memory of man, had not been stained by any
crime. Snieida was thought of. It was imagined,
contrary to all prot,ahility, that, after having stabbed
herself with the knife hich was afterwards recog
Matti as not belonging to her,) she it.td preserved
strength to go and throw herself into the Isere. It is
900 paces from the place where the knife was found
to the hank of the Isere, where the neck-kerchief was.,
The despair of_ the woman was explained by the great
rigour of the Cure in confession r and it was imagined'
that, baring been refused absolution, she had destroyeeli
herself. Her death was said to be the work of lie.
Devil, and credulity and seperetition propagated the:
story. On the !Galt of the same month, however, the
character of the terror that was created was changed,
when some shepherds discovered in a creek of the'
Isere, two handed paces from the place where the
Aga-kerchief Ives [mind, the ,thigh ani the left 14
