ASHOCKING TRAGEDY.

An extraordinary trial for murder has "Just "taken place before the assizes of the Cqtes du Nord at Saint Bneuc. It' appears that on February 12 last a sack containing the head and shoulders Ot a man was found in a- mill stream at Plerin. The remains were horribly mutilated, ahddhe arms cut off at the shoulder joints. SeveralVitnesses re cognised the head as that of . Pierre Henry, a peasant belonging to Pierin. On the Judge appearing at Henry's cottage, the wife of the de ceased fainted away, and it was not until the next morning - that she suffi ciently recovered her senses to make a full confession of her ctime to the au thorities. Madame Henry, a very powerful woman of 30, explained that for some time past she and her hus band had lived on bad terras, owing to the drunken habits of the latter; al though a good worker, all his money went to purchase drink, and his wife, who a few months ago inherited a little property, determined that the “ wind fall-should not be disposed of in a similar manner. On February 9 Henry returned from his work in a state of in toxication, and after some words be tween the two, the woman seized a Stout stick and literally beat herhusband to death by striking him on the head. Having accomplished this deed the wo man dragged the body into the cellar, coycred it with strawy and went .to bed. According*, to her own confession she slepf quietly night, and at break of day called on a neighbor to borrow a hatchet, with which she cut the body . Jnto-sections. After separating the arms and legs from the trunk she divided the body in halves and severed the head from the neck. Of these portions she made three bundles, and sewed them up in cornsacks. Sending her little child to bed, the assassin started out at nightfall with the largest sack and threw it into the Covet, a stream about two miles from the cottage. She accomplished a second journey, but, being overcome with fatigue, was obliged to leave the third sack contain ing the legs until the next night, when she was seen carrying it by two peasants, who supposed her' to be a smuggler. The first sack thrown into the stream caught - first- in - the water wheel of a mill, and thus led to the discv>very of the crime. On being con fronted with the remains of her hus band the prisoner calmly observed, « He used to drink, and I killed him. If all women would do as I did, there would not be so many drunkards.’ Maitre Le Bihan, counsel for the de fence, delivered an eloquent address, representing the murder as an involun tary act on the part of the prisoner, who, seeing her husband give way to habits of intemperance, struck him without intending to kill ..him. The speech for the defence had the effect of obtaining the admission of extenuating circumstances, and the woman was sen tenced to twenty years’ penal servitude.

“Bine Jacket” sends an Auckland taper the following reminiscence of the Taranaki war ; —The brigade officer ordered that on no account were women to be allowed to land at New Plymouth. Well, the Niger had brought down from the Manakau a detachment of troops, ana It bo happened that one devoted wife determined at all hazards to follow the fortunes other husband. When she ar rived in the roadstead, and the surf boat had gone, alongside the ship, it was found that no coxswain would take the responsi bility of putting the lady ashore. Mr Wells came to me, and I explained to him the difficulty. I also suggested a way out of it that was carried into effect. The lady was persuaded to change her dress, and dressed as a boy belonging to the ship. Mr Wells put her ashore him self in one of the ship’s boats. Of course it wa& soon £ >und out that a woman had landed contrary to o ders, Her hu band Was tried for the offence —of having a devoted wife, I suppose-and because he would not order her to return from Whence she came, he was stripped of honors and reduced to the ranks. To the credit of his officer be it said that he ‘ was soon reinstated, and went home a Commissioned "fficer. I don’t think that from that day to this the truth leaked out that Mr Wells landed the lady him- The New York correspondent of the Sydney Morning Herald says : The best loved citizen of New York, the venerable Peter Cooper, at the age of 91, has gone to his last home. He is fairly entitled to a place in the first rank of the world’s philanthropists, and the honors awarded at his obsequies but feebly express the debt of gratitude which the city, and in deed the whole American people, owe him. Ho gave, while still in vigorous health, two-thirds of an ample fortune to the founding of a school of art and science and a public library, and for thirty yeara afferwarda personally super intended the disbursement of his bounty. The Softool has been a practical technical ''' College, to which young people of both B&es from all parts of the XJnion have COme for intitraction, and no small per centage of the designers in the great mills ' anddfactories, and of our mechanical en - ■ '-'gineers, learned their arts- gratuitously in Its lecture rooms. The library was, and vis, aboon to the poorer class of clerks and mechanics, hundreds of whom accept its hospitality every evening. Mr Cooper was himself an, able practical mechanical engineer., He built with his own hands *' the first American locomotive, and was, after Cyras Field, the leading spirit in the Atlantic cable enterprise. With the pos sible exception of Lincoln and Garfield, ho Ameiiran went to his grave so uni versally lamented, and so long as New ■u.Torb'Hd a ; city his memory will be affectionately kept green.

Business. Notices. An evil and its remedy.— the Editor, —It is a heal thy sign oft he times when our local papers are beginning to deal in a fearless manner with bankrupts and the bankruptcy laws. Tire time has come when something must be done cither by the legisla ture or by business men themselves to put an end to a state of affairs which is a disgrace to our boasted civilisation. We (the under signed) have been doing badness in Ashbur ton about 2,'A years, and the money we have lost during that period by bankrupts, levan ters, and blacklegs generally amounts to a great deal more than the margin usually allowed for bad debts. If the law cannot pro tect us then we must protect ourselves, and there is only one way to do so, viz., to abolish the credit system altogether. This system has been the curse of other countries besides New Zealand, and past experience has proved it to be rotten to the core. Owing to recent heavy losses we have resolved to sell for cash only in future. The honest man who is willing to pay his 20s in the £, and pay as be goes, will find this no disadvant age but a great gain, as he will be able to obtain a first-class article much cheaper than he would under the old system. We shall exert our selves to the utmost as heretofore to give cur customers full satisfaction, and every order will be executed in our usual first-class style—but we shall no longer run any unnecessary risk. Under the cash system we are prepared to offer a special line of tweeds at the following unusually low prices : —Gentleman’s suit made to order, £2 18s 6d; ladies’ tailor made ulster, £2.

The above “Extract ” is one of the most marvellous discoveries of the age. Its effects are instantaneous, and never fail in chronic or acute cases, however severe. The great properties of this medicine consist in its never producing costive ness, no matter how freely used, and its being perfectly harmless and purely her bal, yet curing Diarrhoea, Dysentery; Eng lish Cholera, etc., with the greatest cer tainty. TESTIMONIALS. Pangiora, July 7, 1831. Sir, Having carefully examined the N.Z. Herbal Extract, I find it to bo skilfully prepared vegetable preparation, possessing the properties of the plants from which it is derived in a highly con centrated state, a fact which I have veri fied by evaporating a fluid drachm placed in a watch glass over a spirit lamp. On weighing the result, a dark green extract, I found the weight to be grains. On further submi ling the extract to analysis I found it to be rich in tannin. In a large number of cases of ordinary diarrhoea, as well as in many chronic cases and in dysentery, Ihave proved it to possess great specific control, added to the unusual feature in a majority of diarrhoea medi cines, that it does not subsequently con stipate the bowels. I feel satisfied that from the number of trials I have been enabled to make of it in a somewhat ex tensive practice, it is a most valuable addition to modern therapeutics. The following cases are taken at ran dom from my note book : Case No. I—Mrs M , West Eyre ton, suffering for two years from chronic dysentery, which had reduced her almost to a skeleton. After a fortnight’s trial not only had the diarrhoea slopped, but she commenced eating meat without pain, and the usual concomitant vomiting. In two months she had gained 181bs weight. Case No. 2—A G.,child, aged five years. Fortnight diarrhoea. Was effectually cured on third day. Case No. 3—A soldier who had con tracted'dysentery in India got a small two ounce phial, and was well before he had finished half of it.

' „ EPFS CHOCOLATE ESSENCE HEiLBROS’S WORM OAKES These Cakes are principally prepared from Herbs, and do not contain any dan gerously active ingredients. They have a wonderful effect in curing children, as well as grown persons, by emjving the worms. They have been with grea suc cess introduey into the principal families in Europe, Australia, an i (Slew Zealand. They are guaranteed to do away, in a very short time, with many serious complaints like Bronchitis, Pil-s, Ulcers, Dlcerkted Throats, etc., if taken in time, as these sicknesses are often caused by worms •of all kinds, especiolly by the Tape Worm, and by the most dangerous Thread Worm, which, if not destroyed in time, will soon create the ..ardly-curab'e Worm Fever. The smallest, the I’hread Worm, will more than any other worm penetrate through all the crevices of the body up to tha brain. An example was recently wit nessed, where a child falling continually into fits (the parents not knowing tha cause) at last died with the brain affected by the too fatal Thread Worm. Still more recently there was a case, a grown man whose seat wa affected by tha Thread Worm, and who, after trying many sorts oc remedies, without effect was directly relieved by a dose of



Dll HEILBRON’S Worm Cakes. There are cases where the worms come away that they almost can be counted I then often they come away in whole clots, and sometimes in a thick and slimy stuff, and although not so perceptible, still they are caused to leave by Dr tfeilbron's Worm Cakes. And there have been other cases where children affected with Worms, when coughing or sneezing, do discharge them through the mouth and nose. The symptoms of Worms are generally as follows. —Lassitude, Giddiness, De-, pression of Spirits, Impaired Appetite (which if not acted against, will engender diseases of the bile), Disorder of the Stomach and Digestive Organs, Sick Headaches, Vomiting, Disturbed Sleep, and many more serious complaints, in clud.ng Fits, of which last many persona have been cured by these Worm Cakes. is r o time should bo lost in removing these Worms, else the consequence will be seri ous, as they will increase in size and quantity, and ultimately spread through out the intestines. If Worms are ne glected for a time they will do so much damage as to make it beyond human skill to restore and reorganise the system digestive organs. DIRECTIONS FOR USE, The quantity of these Worm Cakes to be taken at a dose depends mostly on the age and constitution of the patient. In most cases a couple of doses will drive the worms away for many years, if not en tirely. As a standard : A dose for a child up to 2 years will be half a Cake ; from 2 to 4 years old, one whole Cake ; from 4 to 8 years, one Cake and a half ; fromß to 14, two Cakes ; and so to increase with the age, but never more than four Cakes at one dose. Grown females may gene rally take three Cakes at a dose, and grown men four Oakes, according to con stitution. The most effective wayof-Tisbig these Worm Oakes is by laki.ig the doaa before going to bed, and on the following morning to take a cup of hot tea tieforo breakfast. »
