MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY.
The journals of Toulouse publish accounts of a mysterious murder at Boux (HauteGaronne). A tailor disappeared more than two months back, leaving a. wife and three children. He had attended a fair at Saint] Beat, where he went to pay a debt of 800fiv, and was seen at an inn with his creditor, who had been overheard to say to him, " Pay me the interest only, and leave .the capital to another time." A short time back an anonymous writing was picked up in a street, of Saint-Beat, bearing the words, "Search the cellars of the town, and you will find ' the man you are looking for. The authorities in consequence made a perquisition, aided by dogs, and discovered some human remains "in a vault beneath the inn in which the tailor had been last seen. The body had been cut into pieces, buried beneath a thick layer of salt, by which it had been preserved from decomposition.
