AUSTRIA.
Vienma, March II. The following'trag
cal event happened lately at Horn, in Aus
tria. A butcher having large sum OF
money about his person, arrived at an inn,
near Horn. The company he met with in
the lower apartments appeared to him very
unfit to trust himself amongst with his mon
ey-and growing suspicious, he begged the
landlord to give him a bedroom on the
upper floor. The landlord inquired after his
motives, and the butcher acknowledged that
he had a great deal of cash about him.
| The landlordthen offered him an inner apart
ment, behind his own, and instantly showed
| it to the butcher, who approved of the same.
The landlord left him there. In the mean
! while the butcher misses his large dog
! this circumstance lenews his susplcion-he
sneaks down into the Yard to search for his
faithful companion. After deal of trouble
he discovers his dog bowling in a cellar,
where he was locked up, and succeeds in lib
Grating him. Relying on his trusty animal,
he resolved not to go tc bed yet but to enter
the lower room once more. In the mean
time the landlords sonreturned from jour
ney he had made to purchase wine. Being
fatigued, and perhaps somewhat intoxicat-
ed, he went to the well-xnown chamber, and,
without any knowledge of what had hap
pened, he laid down on the bed prepared
and the sleepy butcher found himself under
the necessity of seeking his resting place.
He went up stairs and peeplng through the
door, he perceives the landlord throwing a
cloak over the bed, and striking some heavy
blows at man groanng beneath the cloak.
He recois and shrieks with horror. The
/ landlord turns round, and is thunderstruck
upon perceiving the butcher. In despair he
| assails him too; but the dog seizes the
wretch and pins him to the ground. The
| alarm was given, and the landlord finds
that he has killed his own son. He hastens
that very same night to surrender to the
Judge, as the murderer of his own son.
