In the district of Pettau, in Austria,' recently, a peasant laborer murdered Us wffe, into the ter and .almost, jyitbout food foj two months, during which time his wife gave birth to a child, frat after some days died. The woman sought refuge in a hospital,but being turned out before she was well, a violent fever set in, and her husband tried to find shelter (or her in ! an old barn, where for some days she remained without medical attendance or food. . Not even the protection against the inclement weather was long allowed them, for the owner of the barn, coming along, turned them out upon the road. Then the peasant grew desperate and crazed. He knelt uown by his sick wife, prayed, and then, with a hoe and a jack-knife, put an end to her life. Suffering like this is not unfrequent in some of the country districts of Prussia,and Austria, and they equal anything experienced in Ireland, though they do not so often come to the pubuo oar, The projected ship canal across France, from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, will have a uniform depth of 27J feet and a width of from 115 to 250 feet. The great majority of the French iron-clads will, therefore, be able to pass through the canal in sea-going trim, though a few of the heaviest armored ships will have to be lightened before making use of it The total length of the canal from the neighborhood of Narbonne, on the Mediterranean, to Bordeaux, will be 219 nautical miles, and it is calculated that, includ-' ing the time taken to pass through the locks, a ship will be able to traverse the whole length of the canal in forty-eight hours.
