The. Fearful Revenge of u Swiss Girl.

A Swiss paper states that the beautiful val
ley of Chlnoun has Just been the scene of II
terrible tragedy, the circumstances of winch
are as follows -
A beautiful girl named Adelaide Zwert,
was engaged to be mlrrled to young Cha
noise hunter, named Carl Bgncr, to whom she
had long been tenderly attached. The tnar-
riage day was fixed, but Carl found means to
postpone 1t. and the year passed awdy-iiS
promise being still untuiied. His evident un.
willingness at length awakened suspicion in
the mind Of Adelaide. She became jealous
and dlstruStfu, and narrowly watched all the
movements Of her lover, until proof was no
longer wanting that her place in MS heart was
filled by another, and that Carl only awaited
| plausible pretext to break with her altogether
The young girl vowed revenge--and fearful.
ly has she kept her vow.
Having seen some gun-cotten in the hands
Of a young druggist, by whom she was pas
sionatey though vainly loved, and whose con.
stancy and devotion mcrlted Il better recon-
pense, she succeeded in obtaining some from
him-without, Of course, giving him the slight
est hint of the use she intended for it. 1t was
in appearance exactly like ordinary waddn-.-
Carl was Il great smolier, and she hal often re-.
marked that sparks from his pipe had burned
holes IN large woOlen scarf which he was ac
custoned to wear round his neck during his
hunting expeditions on the mountains.
! Adelaide knit double scarf, into which she
introduced quantity OF the gun-cotton, and
this ''lniernal machine Of her construction she
presented, with many demonstrations OF ten
derness, to her fulthless lover, having obtained
in exchange, by way Of souvenir, the old
scarf ne had been accustomed to wear.
| Chance favored Carl for some time but one
evening he did not return from the chase ; next
day passed, and he did not appear. His family
alarmed at his unwonted absence, sought him
in different directions on the mountains, where
they at length found him hfeess and disfs-
ured corpse-burncd in the most shocking
manner Numerous traces around indicate
/ that death had been slow in coming, and that
the unfortunate victim had struggled long in
his agony
Adelaide, on learning how fearfully she was
avenged, was seized with remorsc and imncd,-
ately gave herself up to Justice, making iu..
confession of her crime.

rode the horse that his deceased brother was
riding on the day Of his murder by Peterson.--
tie was in the company Of some friends and
travelled the same road The horse is a very
fine spirited but doclle n temper, with an intel
ligent eye. When they approached near the
scene of the murder, tie horse manifested evi-
dent signs of alarm ami restessness. Ob7ery-
ing the singular conduct of the horse, Merri-
wether determined to give him the rein, and
watch his movements. As he approached neat
the spot of the murde' he elevated his head
and tail and appeared to be watchful, and tre-
quently uttered the siort SO peculiar to spirited
horses when apprehensiIe of danger. he
noble animal finally smet the ground, and
traled the course which the body of his former
master had been conveyed by his murderer
lie finally reached the spot, snelt the ground,
and paved and snorted. He then took circle
in the woods at moderate trot, returned to the
place where the body was found, and repeated
the same ceremony. This he did several times
in succession. And when reined up it was
with great reluctance that he was forced tO
leave the place. is this instinct reason, or
what is it?
