Fowle's New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

Feb. 14. A letter from Paris, dated the 5th instant, has the following article, the substance of which has also appeared in the Paris Gazette: A short time since, four men, who obtained a living by showing wild beasts about the country, meeting a traveller, with his wife and child, in the forest of Orleans, after robbing them of their property, cruelly murdered them; and having stripped off their clothes, gave the bodies of these miserable victims of their barbarity, to be devoured by their beasts. These inhuman wretches are apprehended, and in a sack in their possession were found the man's head, and one of the thighs of the woman. It is said these atrocious offenders will be punished in the following manner: After being put into an iron cage, with their beasts they will be all burnt together.
