A SISoUL,R u ,ssgRY.-A singular case of
robbery in France was thus reported in the
Bordeaux Indicator:
a woman employed a. housekeeper al
the chateau Of Ludon, near this city, re.
Gently inherited sum Of 800 francs. A
peasant employed to take care Of the grounds
Of the chateau. hearing Of her good fortune,
determined to possess himself Of the money.
Accordingly, few nights ago-the owner
Of the chateau and all his servants being
absent-he got the woman, on some pretext,
to visit him At a room he occupied 10 one Of
the dependencies Of the chateau. After
awhile he locked the door, and with the
most dreadful threats declared that he would
murder her unless she at once gave him the
$40 francs. The woman being seriously
alarmed, took him 10 her chamber and gave
him the money. The man then declared
that he must murder her 70 prevent her
from accusing him aud he commanded her
10 say what KIND Of death she would prefer.
( The poor woman prayed for mercy, but he
pafempt0rily told her that she must either
die BY the rope or the knife, and she at last
selected hanging. The man then tied her

fastened the rope, be put his arm in the

al that moment the woman with great pre-.
sence of mind, gave a violent kick 70 the
chair, which fell, and the man remained
suspended By The arm. He reared for help.
and the woman cried out " Murder !" but
there was no one except themselves in the
chateau or is dependencies, and they were
not heard. They accordingly remained In
their respective positions, the man suffering
dreadful agony, until the morning, when
their cries attracted the attention Of some
laborer-. These men, on hearing the wo.

suspended until they could summon magis.
