A double murder was recently perpetra.
ted at Grandlup, Aisne, France. More
than week back laborer of the village
named Liebera, announced 10 his neigh.
bors that he, his wife, and an aunt the lat
ter living in house next his were about
10 60 to fair at some distance. Days
passed away without anything being seen
of them. AS their absence seemed strange
the house of Lambert was two days back
entered, and lying on the floor, beneath a
heap Of straw and some mattresses,
was the dead body of his wife with the
marks on her throat which clearly proved
that she had been strangled. In the ad :
jacent house the dead body of the aunt
was also found in large oven the oriice
of which was closed with plank. This
woman had also been strangled.
Rome is full of gossip over trick play
ed upon Cardinal Antonelli by Polish la
dy. His eminence, being precisely anxious
to investigate the "Polish question:" be-
came an assiduous visitor at her house,
and left nothing undone to make the stay
of the fair exile in the Papal capital as
agreeable as possible. The world, howev-
er, is disposed to be satirical, aud therefore
the cardinal kept all profound secret but
for the fact that the fair Polonaire has sud-
denly disappeared, taking with her jewelry
and other valaables to the amount of some
100000. The Cardinal swears they are
his property, and has complained to the
police. The fair fugitive was accompan-
led in her flight by French officer.
The man John Turner, who, in 1857,
saved the Queens life, died in the work
house in London on the I'd inst. The
four horses of the Queens carriage, con-
tanning Her Majesty and the Prince Len-
igen, took fright on the top of Highgate
Hill, and dashed down the steep. Turner
got the wheel horses by the head in time
TO enable Her Majesty to jump out. On
the following day, deceased attended Sir
H. Wbeatley, who gave him e1O, and re-
quested him to put the royal arms on his
public house, which he did at cost of $40.
He has since made constant applications
TO Prince Consort, but had had no further
recognition of his services. This so prey
ed upon his mind that he became an imbe-
cile, and an inmate of the workhouse.
There are tricks in all trades, you know.
A linen draper on the boulevard near the
Porte St. Dennis, Paris, has resorted to a
new method of drawing custom, which
does credit to bis ingenuity, While his
greater rivals are spending 8lOO day in
advertising English goods-not always, if
we may credit current reports, of the most
genuine characterize, with glowing pa
triotism, sets free trade at defiance, and at
tracts crowd round bis shop by the ex-
hibition of enormous placards proclaiming
-"No English goods sold here; all our
stuffs are made of unmixed WOOL"
More love, murder and suicide! A dan
Ger of Tienna, of the name of Groll, late
ly demanded in marriage Md'lle Winkler,
daughter of another dancer, but her father
fatty refused. The lover then resolved on
violent step. A few days back he went
into forest in the neighborhood of Ba-
den, accompanied by the young female,
and there, with or without her consent,
shot her dead with pistol, after which be
blew out his own brains.
