SENTENCED TO oDEATR-Prosper Ferrand, cotton
spinner in Yarn, France, has been sentenced to
death for killing his wife aud her paramonr, who
he found sleeping together, by siabbing both with
knife. 1t was shown on the trial that Fsrrand
had been too often before cognizant of his wiie's
infidelity, to make this occasion for murder
This shows that, according to the criminal
law Of France, the antecedents Of the husband
who kills the seducer of his wife have much weigh.
in determining the character of his offence, and
the measure of his penalty.

Sunday morning last, during the heavy thunder
storm which passed over this and adj AGENT coun'
ties. a large locust tree situated near Carths 60
bridge struck by lightning and shivered into q
thousand pieces, the limbs scattered around In a
circumference of a hundred feet. One Of the larg-

Staddon with such force to pass through both the
weather. boarding and plsstering of the second
story. The passage of the limb through the
building sudden and violent that it left the
upper por ton of the tenement perfect wreck,
and broke all the window glass in the first and
second floors. The inmates fortunately we're seat
ed in the lower story, and became so frightened at
the occurrence that they fled from the house in
dismay. The tree was completely shorn aBd ex.

The Fire at Oshkosh. Wis.

The Milwaukee Ne,cs has the following ex-
planation of the recent great fire of Oshkosh,
Wis, by which $5OO,OoO in property was de-
stroyed:
1t will be remembered that last February
we published an account of the burning of
two houses of prostitution, in Oshkosh, by
the indignant citizens, and the conveying of
the inmates, twelve girls and man, to jail
The houses were burnt to the ground, and
the clothing, trunks and jewelry, belonging to
the inmates were also destroyed. AS before
stated by US, the girls were liberated after
trial. The next move was convention of
this class of 'artists," which convention was
attended by prostitutes and their pimps from
the neighboring cities and villages. At this
convention, it is said, a solemn oath was made
to burn the city from end to end, before the
summer was over in revenge for the burning
of the two houses aforementioned
The city is now in ashes, evidently fired by
an incendiary, but who the incendiary is we
cannot yet tell. There is not a store or bus-
ness house left. One hotel remains out of
five. Four printing Offices, all the place had
are in ruins, and the total loss cannot fall
short of S500,0O0. For some weeks the city,
learning the threat, kept a vigant night
watch, but as the spring advanced, and the
wooden buildings became dry as powder, the
watch was discharged on account of the ex-
pense. The buildings were close together,
and built OF wood. This made insurance so
high, ranging from II to per cent, that but
very few We're insured, and the loss mostly

AerOnautics.

Mr.. Wise requests us to say that he will
not leave the country before fall, as he has
made arrangements with responsible parties
IN New York for some expensive and impor.
tant seronautic experiments this summer
He leaves for New York on Friday next. to
make the necessary arrangements. One of
these experiments is to be demonstrative of
the practlcability of crossing the Atlantic with
precision within a due course from West to
East, and within the parallels of two degrees.
and will consist in sailing from St. Louis to
the Atlantic seaboard, at point between
Baltimore and the city of New York. An.
other is the propellins and guiding of the bal
loon with fan-wheels and rudder. He is also
to test Mr. Pages plan of directing the balloon
ny his plan patented some weeks ago.
We understand there is to be an aeronau-
TIC convention, or rather an aeronautic confer
ence in New York, by number of expert
mentalists in this matter, and Mr.. Wise has
been summoned to meet these gentlemen, with
view to take the enterprise under his direc-
tons. Some of the men are wealthy, and
have already expended considerable sums of
money in these investigations. We hope that
something practicable may be the result of
these proceedings, and that it may vet be the
lot and happiness of the present generation to
enjoy voyages to foreign lands exempt from
the terrors and pains of sea sickness.-Lan-
