The execution of the French communists
Rossel, Ferre and others on the eth is an
nounced by cable as follows:
At 6 A. NJ, the prisoners Rossel, Ferre
and several bourgeois were taken from their
cells and brought to the Camp of Satory.
Thence they were escorted by large force
to the place fixed upon for the execution in
the outskirts of the Camp. On arriving
there, hollow square was formed by the
troops, at one side of which the prisoners
were placed. The behavior of the three men
was most courageous. When the soldiers
approached to blindfold them, Ferre refused
to allow the bandage to be placed over his
eyes, declaring that he would look his exc
cutioners in the face. When the preparations
were completed, at 7 o'clock, the company
detailed for the duty advanced, and, level
ling their muskets, at the word of command
fired. Rossel fell at the first discharge, he
being instantly killed. The others were not
so fortunate; the bullets did not take imme-
diate effect, and as they were writhing on the
ground, some soldiers of the shooting party,
in obedience to instructions, advanced with
pistols, and gave the coup de grace to put
them out of their agony. The bodies were
then placed in plain collins and Immediately
removed. The execution took place in the
in the presence of 5000 troops of the line.
A profound sensation was produced through
out the city by the details of the execution.
The death of young Rossel is lamented even
by those who feel it was demanded by justice
and the best interests of the country.

There is picture, framed and hanging in
many homes, representing a faithful dog that
has just rescued its little master from wa
terry grave, brought him safely to shore, and
as he lay painting with exhaustion beside his
then unconscious prize, the light of intelli-
gence seems to shine forth from the counte-
nance Of the satisfied animal. Yesterday we
saw this picture partially reversed. The boy
saved might have been an IDEAL but the dog
saved was real. large black dog was cross
ing the river on the ice from the east side,
and when about half way across was seen to
plunge into an open place, some twenty or
thirty feet square. So deliberate was the act,
that it seemed like q premedtated case of
suicide, followed by a reaction as soon as he
came to realize that that was a cold and cheer
less way to put himself in the place where all
the good dogs go. Perhaps the doggerel that
has recently appeared slandering the race to
which he belongs, or the decision of the court
against his canine friends who had INDUCED
in little innocent amusement killing sheep
and biting passers-by, had made his dog life a
burden and death welcome. Be that as it may,
when he found himself in the ''drink," he put
forth all his energies to save himself-throw
ing the forward part of his body on TO the ice,
and doing his best to obtain foothold, but
only to find the ice breaking up, and crum-
bling beneath him. Swimming the circle
round, he made brave attempts at every point
to save himself, but without avail. He would
at times leap half way out of the cold waters,
and fall back again to renew his labor for
dear life elsewhere In his ice bound enclosure.
Struggling thus for fifteen minutes or more,
the heroic animal at last attracted the atten-
ton and enlisted the sympathies of two men
on the west side, who ventured out on the un-
safe ice in bold attempt to rescue. Pushing
boat before them for use in case the crack
ling ice should give way, they moved slowly
towards the open place, on reaching which
one of the men standing in the bow Of the
boat reached over and grasping the fore paws
of the dog, and landed him safely in the
boat. The dog was too much chilled to wag
his tail in gratitude to his deiverers, but shiv-
cred instead, mentally resolving to wait till
summer before committing suicide by drown
ing.
