The Horrors III Paris.

On Wednesday morning 81 com
munists including seven woman
were shot in u body. At . O'Clock
the prisoners were ont and ranged
in u row with their hands tied be-
hind, aud made to kncel down close
together. When the company was
in line and ready to fire, Coz. Gu'zot
stepped forward and told the pris.
oncrs in a few words that they were
to suffer death for having been
caught in the act Of setting fire to
buildings in Paris. At this mo-
ment the women uttered piercing
shricks and began to sway them
selves back and forth. An 0filcer
advanced and made them still with
the flat of his sword. a few mo-
mcnts afterwards n vOlley was fired
and when the smoke cleared away
a most horrible sight was presented.
Three of the women in the middle
between the men, were still living
and writhing in awful agony. n
second vollcy was fired and u third,
and not until a sixth did all the
prisoners cease to live. The dead
bodies were then flung into scaven :
ger carts and carried away, to be
buried. There were few people at
the scenes.

ourselves in we sat down together

hoping we would see daylight
again. After 6 o'clock some of them
went to sleep, and I tried to wake
them up, but they would sleep.
Again we shook hands with each
other, kissed each other, and all
prayed. Some of the men were
crying. We who were awake were

EXCITING FRACAs IN TIE CARS.
The st. Alb .lcsscngcr, and a
correspondent OF tho Rutland Her
aid give ar account OF an affair
which happened in the cars at that
place on Friday evening last, the
result of which has raised some
questions which will be interesting
to know about when they are dccid.
ed.
1t appears that Sheriff Place OF
st. Albans attempted to serve II
wiz OH q Frenchman, for u debt,
and who refused to be arrested.
The sheriff attempted to force him
out of his seat, when he was attack
ed by several other Frenchmen IN
Guiding woman who bit his hand.
The Sheriff had one or two assist
ants and had nearly conquered the
French, a la Germany. when as he
stoops down to release the h old OF
the feet of his obstinate subject OF
the writ, he was surprised by sever
al almost stunning blows from u
stalwart break mun; done by ordor
of the conductor, and on recovering
d little, found himself in the grasp
of conductor St0negraves aud the
breakman McCarty, the conductor
ordering the breakman to put the
sheriff of the cars. About this time
the conductor and brakeman were
reinforced by the appearance of
james Irwin another conductor, who
Immediately joined his comrades in
the demand that the sheriff imme>
diately leave the car, which he did,
when the train moved off without
his being able to secure his man, as
he might have done had the conduc-
tor assisted him, instead of hinder
ing him. Many hard words passed
between the sheriff and the rail.
road men, and hard blows were
given and received by each, and the
sheriff lost the money on his bill
and also his man. The affair ere
ates "A good deal of talk. Sheriff
Place is regarded as an efficient
and courageous officer, whose rcla-
tons have always been pleasant
with all the officials and employees
of the railroad, and it seems hard
to account for this serious interior
ence with the sheriff in the dis
charge of his duty. 1t lis claimed
by some that the railroad men did
not know who the sheriff was, &c.
Suits have been brought against
conductors StOnegraveS ana irwin,
also against the breakman McCarty,
on behalf Of the State, also private
suits by the sheriff, and each of the
railroad employees is held in bonds
of $500, for trial. The question
here will probably be that it is al
ways wise to respect the majesty OF
the law and its execution.
