FRANCS. —A shocking ease leas tecently come ly fore the aliases of the Hante Sa..i.e. In 1662, according to the arta Xnees ' tIM prisoner, a young roan named Vol tot havint setved his time in the army, returned as pay., arid married • youne woman named Claullyr, of soonont. The union, however. was not looked upon favourably by the family of the bride, .n.l elkagreemente d. A certain Abbe Gauffrov. the breather •in•law of the bridegroom, often "lectured" the needy-married could& Whose mode of liMoro it eproars. was anything bet regular. Obliged to sell off all their goods in 1865, they emigrated to Americo ; but the wife, being taken ill, wrote home for money, end rrtorred to her family in lest September. The hulband. for want of fonds, was unable to proceed further thou Soria In a few days howeser, hearing of theeleath of hie father-in-law, he void his watch, and started for Oramenent, in the hope of "coming in" for some property on his wife's side; but he was disappointed everything belonged by deed of sale to the +662 Clauffrev. Moreover, ho was told not to think of stopping in the neighbourhood; that his wife and child would be kept by hi r relative.. but on condition that ha separated train them, and went and lived elsewhere. This rigorous ultimatum was not long in producing Ito effect. Reduced almost to starvation, and debarred IN in the eoeiety of his wife and child, he seems to have determined to pot an end to such a state of things. One evening he presented himself at the house of the *bid who again commenced to reproach him with his past life. A trarrrl arose. Suddenly Voitot drew • digger from his pocket, and inflicted several wounds on this modol pastor. The abbe managed to escape, but his two nieces, aged respectively 15 and 19, attracted by the noise, entered the room, sod were immediately set upon by Voitot •nel stabbed. The terrible scene did not end here. Mod with rage and the eight of blood, the murderer proceeded to the kitchen, whero be completed his work of revenge by stabbing M. and Rams. Routhier, the parents of the two girls above alluded to, and • servant. Ho then took to eight ; hut, being pursued, attempted suicide by stabbing himself with the same weapon. Of the above victims of this fearful tragedy three have diet-11. and Mdme. Routhier and one of their children; the other' are in • fair way of recovery. Voitot. who in described as an intelligent, inoffensivelooking young man, tried throughout the trial. He said he committed the crimes in • moment of madness. The jury found him guilty, but with egtenuating circurnstanees. The smut sentenced him to seven years' penal servitude.  FENIANINII 10 New YOng.—The news of Fenian disorders in Ireland comes just in time to save the schemes of thc swindling leaders in New York. by creating a new diversion of pennies and paper currency from the email hoards of the Irish sermant-maids to the pockets of the Irish "patriots." Surely there is no limit to Irish gullibility. Not a month has pulled since Stephens was approved an Impostor; yet the majority of Irishmen here are ready ti swear that the "rebellion"--as they dnscribe the inconsiderable shindy in Ferry—is the result of the machinations of the sagacious "Head Centre," and that that individual in person leads the insurgents. Stephens was, at last accounts, living in clover in a handsome hones in Brooklyn, finding solace for hi. "misfortune." in the companionship of hi. mistress, the contemplation of a poeket-bnok, and the demolition of the hest dinners the metrovolis has to offer for money. There is every reason to believe that the distinguished pariot depend, wholly upon the New York morning newstapers for information of the doings in Ireland, and that nothing is further from his intention than • leaping into the gulf. If one needed any proof that the "movement" in Ireland has been entirely without emoperation on this side, we might end it in the evident bewilderment of the Fenian leaders. Having enddenly become highly excited they have resorted to the inevitable "public demonstration.," " meetings of sympathisers," ka They have opened " reuniting oases," awl have really enlisted seversl hundred men. They are daily issuing terrible "Proclamations" and "general orders." As soon no the news of the mysterious operations of "Colonel O'Conor" was received, certain green flogs, the properties of the Irish Republic of Union-equate, were thrown to the breeze in Ohatham-streek and other low portions of the town; bands of ragamuffins tramped through our streets to the squeaking of fifes and the thumping of drums. the newsboys began to sell little bite of green paper, illootreted with • yellow harp, and our daily newspapers. with one exception, to talk learnedly of the " general Uprising of the Irish people," and the probable " downfall of English authority is Ireland." Our Canadian en:abbot:us take the matter with great coolness, although the balk of their informetinn comes through American channels; they ue, however taking some step" to guard against possible 'uprises. Gleason. Stephens's successor, says be knows that the Fenian" "are fighting in Tipperary," for, he says, they are corm man led there by his brother, Joel Oluson.
