Family Tortured and Murdered
by BufflRns.
The amateurs Of the horrible
have a dish of news In tho GauloIs
to-day to tickle their palates. An
outrage is reported from Spain
which exceeds In brutality anything
that any one can recollect even in
the worst times Of Ribbonism in
Ireland or the vendetta In Corsica.
The rufians who carded proctors
and cut the ears off ballins in the
island In the Atlantic, or those who
glutted family vengeance with
blood and flame in the isle IN the
Mediterranean, never carried their
crueltIes to such an extensive pitch
of refinement as the barbarians
whose crime crops up at this mo.
ment in the "chivalOrous" land Of
Cid. On the night of the 18th in
slant the house Of Senior Janni
Buluda, a land-holder at Alcira,
near ValenEe, was entered by a par
ty Of savages, who managed to pro-
cure ingress by making q hole In
the roof. They stole on tiptoe
into the bedroom where the unfOr-
tnnate Bnluda with his vile, was
sleeping. They tore both from
their bed, gagged them, aud flung
them on the ground. They then
proceeded to the next chamber,
where the rest of the famlly-twO
boys and four little girls-were
lying. They dragged them up In
their night clothes, and hauled them
out to their parents, trussed them
up like turkey so as to impede all
their movements, garrOted them to
stifie their cries, and left them so
many helpless, quivering bundles
on tho flooring. And now the
~sutterings Of the poor victims really
began. These ilends in human
shape deliberately gouged the eyes
out Of these eight fellow.creatures,
and next cut out their tongues
One would imagine that their inhu.
manity would now at least have

language fails one to find a word q

Buluda aud his eldest son, leaving
