Pierre's post was one of the most important

not to stop there to investigate: so they form

having lifted the strange animal upon it. they
proceeded on their way. When they reach
ed the camp they found ono half the sol
diers up. waiting to find out why the gun
wee fired.
Lights were brought and the body placed
up on the ground. The dog's skin war re
moved and within was found a Prussian

or somewhere very near it. His pockets
were overhauled, and in one of them was
found a cypher. but .no one of them could
make anything out of it. The colonel took
it. and directed that the body be placed out
of sight, for burial on the moron..
Wit this we not the end. About 4 o'clock,
just before daylight, another gun was fired
on the same post were Pierre had been : and
this time a man was shot who was trying to
make his escape from the camp. lie was
shot through lift head. When the body was
brought into camp, it was found to be that
of a Bavarian trooper, who hail been suspect
ed of treachery, though nn proof had ever
been found against pith. On his person was
found the key of the cypher, which had been
taken from the person of the drummer ; and

for keeping as near Napoleon's personae pos
sible after ho should enter Berlin, and then
wait for further orders.
The mystery was explained. The Bail,
rim' had contrived to call a great dog away
from the regiment and deliver him up to the
•enemy, anti his skin was to be glide the
cover for a spy to enter the camp. And
that spy would have got in, too, but for the
sportive order of the Colonel, and the wil
fully faithful obedience of Pierre Sancoin.
tha the next day Pierre was proraoted ,to
the rank of sergeant; and the Emperor said
to him as he bestowed the boon :
" If you only make aVfaithful—+e -officer

the McKeesport Murderers
We have already stated the fact that the
I &imams Court has affirmed-the judainteiti; of
the Court below in the case of Fife. Stewart
and Char'Otte Jones convicted of the murder
of Henry Wilson and Elizabeth Mc3lsaters.
at McKeesport. The Pittsburg ChrMimic of
thloneiny evening has the following :—When
the prisoners, the effect on each was moat
extraordinary and unlooked for. Stewart,
who had always displayed the most aston
ishing self-possession and calmness, appear
ed overwhelmed by the news. and betrayed
a degree of em , uion that he never before
manifested. His whole hope centered on the
Supreme Court. Ile believed firmly that
there would ho a reversal of the judgment
of the Court below in his case. and when. he
found the hope which had buoyed him up
suddently destroyed, his self-possession de
scriesthim, and he gave himself up to a 'de
gree of anguish that surprised while it pained
his fellow prisoners, Ile still proclaims his
innocence, and tretintsins that, though a
thousand Courts held otherwise he is guilt
less of the blood of the Wilson family
Fi(p. ton, was (liken shark not a little
when the decision was made known' He
coon recovered his equanimity, however.
and, beyond declaring his tnnbcence, he
spoke but little on the subject. Ile says
that they may hang him when they' please,
but that Stewart is an innocent man, and
that if he be executed, it will be a judicial
murder.
Charlotte Jones received the news with
extraordinary composure. To our mind she
is a eallous wretch—insensible to all the Bite
feelings of the human heart, and indifferent
whether or not she ends her days on a gib
bet.
