THE Old WORLD!

Prompt vengeance has fallen upon
Ramiasatra. Governor OF the Province Of
Belanona, Madagascar, who massacred 2'5
persons-men, women and children-be-
longing to the leading families Dispatches
state that Ramiasatra, together with bis
brother, has been executed on the spot
where the wholesale killing took place
under the cruel Governors directions, The
populace addressed the Government ask
ing protection from his repeated acts Of
cruelty. This 50 enraged the Governor that
he commenced the slaughter. In many
cases the agonies OF the victims were pro-
tracted by the Governors causing their
limbs to be gradually dismembered, their
heads to be slowly sawed of. and by SUBJ
jecting them to other acts OF torture. In
addition to these atrocities the survivors
were compelled to erect a trophy composed
Of the heads of the murdered people upon u
spot near the scene Of q butchery. The
fury Of the populace was aroused and Gov.
Ramiasatra and his equally ferocious brother
have met the fate they so richly deserved.
Rome advices say that the government
is firmly resolved to exact satisfaction for
the killing OF Italian subjects in America,
and that the statement OF the Governor OF
Louisiana is not satisfactory.

Finally Paine died. and then, to the sur

sum than $500. 900 lying in his safe, which
had been left In his care by the dead man.
