MURDER BY A LUNATIC.—A shocking murder was committed three days since at Cosne (Nievre), by a lunatic named Chenu, who entered the house of a woman named Charbius in her absence, and cut off the head of a child two months old, which lay in a cradle. Ile afterwards attempted to kill himself; but was prevented by the entrance of some neighbours. When asked his motive for commiting such a crime, he replied that the child was crying and that it was necessary to make an example of it.  Miles Opened. Receipts.
