a Swiss TRAGEDY.-A Webster Parker
murder is reported from Geneva, Switzer-
land, the victim being a money-lender
named Vioget, who took all kinds of Sc
curities for loans and lived alone amid his
accumulation of pledged property. A Apro-
longed disappearance of this man prompt

which they one night discovered man

arrested and confessed that he gave Fieget
a rendezvous at his own apartments IN
street of the Faux Wives, on some business
connected with loan he had Of Fioget-
auarreling with him about the money.
Vioget accused him of being cheat and
thief, and enraged at this accusation he
knocked him down with g hatchet, and
afterwards murdered him. The deed was
no sooner accomplished than he felt horri-
fed, not knowing what to do with the
body, but at last decided to adopt the hor-
ribls process Of cutting it up into small
pieces with the intention of burning them
in the room he occupied. Investigation
proved this story true, and the body was
found cut up as the murderer had descrlb-
ed. In one bucket were the entralls, IN
another quantity Of CONCEALED blood, in
a trunk and in cupboard other parts OF
the body. Portions of the limbs and the
greater part of the head, Of which only the
bone. calcined remained, had been eonsum-

ENCOUNTER WITH 4 SHARK.-A recent

few inches above the surface. He had
Just passed beyond the reef and was pad
ding along unaware ofany danger, when
large and hungry shark made a break for
him. The Jaws of the ravenous fish closed
upon the mans thigh and the canoe, max
ing hideOus wound IN the former, some
eleven inches long. and tearing the flesh
from the bone nearly half the circumfer-
cree Of the thigh, leaving it hanging down
in shreds as the teeth drew away, and leav-
ing IN the wood Of the latter three or four
teeth, broken of. The man was nearly
dragged out of his canoe, and at the same
time was almost swamped by the onset of
the fish, which, disappointed Of its prey,
Immediately disappeared. The old man,
though bleeding profusely from his several
wounds, was able TO get his canoe back to
shore, thankful for escaping with his life,
and on landing received from Mr.. Chill
ingWorth and his native neighbors what
ever help they were able TO bestow. From
Mr. Chillingworth we hear that the wound
