DEnru or ASToSfa CAMBRE.-Antoine Canbre
convicted in June last of the murder of the lamp
lighter Frey, in the Third District, and sentenced
to death, met Lis death yesterday in manner de-
void of the ignOminy which the law had contem
plated.
He died at about l o'clock in the afternoon, in
the condemned cell, Of pefiticious fever. Dcspon
dency and nervous prostrasion, consequent upon
The awful situation in which he found himself, and
tile resignation Of all hope Of a new trial (lis ap
peal being now before the Supreme CourD are be-
leycd ID have opened the way for the malady
which carried him off.
Stories being rife that Cambre had declared his
intention Of committing suicide before allowing
himself to be hung, and there being disposition
among many Of the prcindiced to believe that con
vcted criminals never die by suicide or natural
in the Parish Prison. the inquest was held in
such manner as to leave no ground for the weak
inventions and cowardly calumnfes which certain
class Of people delight to circulate in regard to
deaths in the Parish Prison.
Coroner Beach and Deputy Coroner Soraparu

testimony showed that the body was actually dead
and that the death was caused bypernicious fever:
he having treated the deceased for some days, aud
having foreseen, from the violent type of the ais.
ease, that death would be the result. Other wit.
nesses were sworn, to prove that the body was
actually that OF Antoine Cambre. Tie course of lis
disease; the statements Of his negro woman who
was permitted to come and nurse him and all
that could be CLEANED from the different witnesses
and the officers of the prison. went to show that the

INTERESTING, II TRuE.-The story was in circu-
lation yesterday, that an opulent gentleman of
this city, vino was recorded among tie lost by
tile sinking of the steamship Arctic in 1854, had
turned up, all well, alive and kicking and was at
the Balize, lIurrying home, burning with anxiety
to embrace his wife and child once more; lie hav-
ing been picked up on bit of the wreck, carried
penness 10 foreign parts, and succeed,.u onlv
after lapse Of six years in resnilig to his coun.
fry and his home. TIE story would be very pretty
II stopped here but it verges upon the 'tltraro
| mantle in tiis--that after decent period OF
mourning, the bereayed wife put an end to her
supposed widowhood by marrying another gentle
man, with whom she has lived happily ever since.
We give the story as it crcuates, for Just what it
may be worth If man, reputed to be well of,
processing to love his family, and well knowing
| that he might be considered dead if NOT heard
| from, could not give an account Of himself within
1 a less period than six years, the adventure may
| be considered as immeasurably ahead Of anything
| to be found in the most eXtravagant pictures Of
| the day. The poorest man that was ever saved
from wreck, Chat is, in these days of steam and
mails and telegraphs) could easily LET his family
| hear of him within six months, no matter in what
| part Of the world his disaster and escape may
i have landed him. z.
| SERIOUS RESULT OF A CHARR RsRG-Freetown, a
little settlement over the river, between Algiers
/ and Gretna, lin Jefferson parishl was the scene
of bloody and probably tragical affair on Sunday
night. A party of men went to eshiyerees' a new
married couple at the house Of Joseph Hosch. The
latter, enraged, seized shotgun, and, firing at
the nearest knot of men he saw, wounded four or
/ five Young men, who, it is said, had nothing what
ever to do with the charyari. Augustus kerner
was believed TO be dangerously wounded, being
rddied with shot in the breast and right arm. The
others, Joseph Hugar, Jean Baptiste, one Staples
and a fifth person, whose name is not reported,
rally created much excitement. party of young
men, friends of the wounded, got shot-guns and
went to the scene Of action to kill Hosch. TIE
latter saved his life by the artiRee Of coming ont
and holding a baby in front of him. Mr.. Constable
| Henry Parker soon reached the spot; Hosch sur
rendered willingly, and is now in jail awaiting ex
animation.

rain came along and threatened to damage the
flag, an uncommonly fine specimen Of the stars

instead of the usual constellation, in the unioI
corner.
To avoid the threatened damage, the flag wa
furled and left for safe keeping in the Crescent
office. As pledge for the safe e-keoping of tht
company's flag. the Crescent office offered its loca
reporter as hostage. Said reporter cannot wav
like flag, but was able to waive all objections
and went along with the aforesaid boys in stray
hats and red shirts.
The machine was left at Creole No. as house
