GUOST.—At a farm in the parish of Redruth, and near the town, there is a dwelling-house which has long been reported to be haunted. Several tenants, who inhabited it in succession, quitted it after a short rest. dente, alleging that their slumbers were so much disturbed by the nocturnal transactions of their ghostly visitants, as to render their removal necessary. How. ever, as the tales they circulated were in general discredited, a new tenant was speedily procured as the vacancies followed in succession. Some time in the month of June, 1816, the good woman of the house intimated to her husband, that on the falling of any heavy substance on the kitchen floor, it produced a hollow sound. On hearing this, he resolved to search into the cause of so extraordinary a circumstance; and having dug ap the floor, he discovered, at some depth below the surface, two large stones, covering a kind of vault, apparently filled with cinders. Having removed these, he found some black mould, intermixed with teeth and fragments of human bones. These were carefully preserved, and being submitted to the inspection of a surgeon in the neighbourhood, he concluded they were the fragments of some full-grown person. Nothing has transpired that can tend to unravel this mystenons deposit. The house was again forsaken by its I . inhabitants, and we know not whether it be yet tenanted. It is singular that the under-surface of the stones which covered the vault had all the appearance of having been exposed to the acticn of fire. Oa this phenomenon, if such it may be Termed, but one opinion can be entertained, so far as the human remains will furnish evidence, and probable conjecture May be allowed to speak. It seems to have been the body of some person that had been murdered and reduced to ashes, to conceal the fact ; but by whom the act was perpetrated, with what circumstances it was attended, iti what age it was committed, we must be content to leave unknown, until the earth and sea shall give dp their dead.—Pnouth Journal. An event equally horrible as extraordinary has just taken place at Toulouse, in France. There are four victims, amongst whom is the author of the crime. Elie Francois Triboulet, aged 44, lived in a state of concubinage with a woman named Sangere, whose husband has been for some years undergoing a sentence of hard labour, to which he had been condemned. The fruit of this adulterous intercourse was a child aged eighteen months; there was also in the house another child belonging to the woman, born seven years ago. Triboulet dreading the return of ‘ her husband, whose term punishment was nearly f expired, sold his furniture, nd determined to remove to another part of the countr . He wished the went in Sangere to accompany him, but she, having lately suffered from his brutal treatment, refused. Rendered furious by what he took for a mark of her contempt and hatred, he strangled her with a handkerchief, afterwards found fastened upon her neck+ be then struck senseless the two children, whom he placed u ith their mother upon the bed, under which he put fire, and then placing himself alongside his victims, all four soon fell a prey to the smoke and flames. The fire was soon perceptible to the neighbourhood, the police was sent for, and on breaking in the door, the first object that presented itself was the body of the woman upon the floor, the feet towards the door, and the head testing upon - the bed, and the left hand hanging down; all the clothes were on fire.
