A TERRIBLE RnvEEaH.-A fashionable
young Partisan. during his last summers
shooting, became intimate with the
pretty wife Of game.keeper. and has
continued to visit her. Quite recently,
the husband became aware Of his dis
honor, and oontrived to be near on the
occasion Of one Of these visits. he ap-
preached the house, singing and whis-
tling, and the terrified wife concealed
her lover in closet, and that closet had
been prepared for his reception by the
game-keeper. Entering, he ordered his
wife to light the fires and get breakfast.
She obeyed, and at the end of o few
minutes thick smoke issued from the
closet. The husband had disconnected
the stove funnel, which ran through it.
He affected not to mind this, nor to hear
the groans of the suffocating man within,
and when his wife tainted at her work
from fright, he ooolly got breakfast him.

man soon recovered, and dragged her
lover from his place of confinement, but
the husbands revenge had been com
plete; he was past human aid.

ed sixteen persons, three of whom were
young girls not over eighteen. Many
robberies have been traced to them, and
not few murders. Some of the Nom
bers OF the band belonged to quite re-

not seem to have realized much from
their crimes. Seventy, ninety or hpn-
dred francs appear in the account OF
their arrest as the plumber of men they

going on, not the slightest clue has been

the vessel, and even. conjecture is at
