A Fiend. — A criminal of the deepest dye has just been executed at the city of G-ratz, near Vienna. This was an Austrian sub ject named Zoller, who was proved to have murdered, one after the other, his three successive wives and the step children. His object in each case was to obtain the premium for which he had in sured their lives. It was not till he had succeeded with his third wife that the diabolical plot waa detected and defeated by the vigilanc Q of the insurance offices. An accident took place at the Bridg north Floating Bath on August 12fch. It seems that since the establishment of this bath, oertain days have been set apart for ladies, many of whom have appreciated the opportunity afforded and have made considerable progress in the art of na tatipn. On tho day in question about thirty ladies had assembled in the bath, and th« river Severn, owing to the recent rains, had increased in volume, but there was nothing to exoite any alarm. Owing however, to several of the ladies sitting on the side, the bath gave a lurch, and then began to sink. The ladies in great alarm, some partly dressed, others in full bathing coatume, hastily escaped to the bank of the river, and to their dismay the bath immediately sank to the bottom of the river with all their clothes. The di lemma in whioh so many ladies found themselves on the bank of the river otose to Ijbe town, with hardly even the sim plest articles of clothing, seemed incapable of a satisfactory solution. At last a cattle shed was espied in the distance, and arace took place to gain its friendly shelter. Even here the difficulty of finding a pre sentable wardrobe was not overcome, but by borrowing sundry blankets and spare apparel all the victims of the accident were conveyed to their homei.
