HORRIBLE DEATH.-We translate the following
from a French paper:-"A banditti, consisting of
eight persons, recently arrested during the night
in village Venice AS it was too late to trans
port them elsewhere, they put into dungeon,
and the chief of the band notorious for his cruelty
and the number of assassnatons he had committed,
confined in old tower, which had been uninhab-
tied for some time. Towards midnight, the sentinel
who was near this tower, having heard at first oaths
and afterwards groans, reported this TO the local
authority. Little Importance was attached to it,
and they waited till morning to confirm the circum-
stance; but what their establishment when, at
break of day, they repaired the tower they found
the prisonordead and all his limbs manged In order
todiscover the of so terrible death, they de-
posted in the same place several pieces of poisoned
food. At the end of two days thirty-six serperts
were found dead in the same place"
