A GIRL'S TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
A female servant, sixteen years of age, in the employment of a magistrate at Lusttan, in the Department of Gaxd, m France, has just had an experience (says the ' Mail's' correspondent) she is not likely to forget. She was sonnd asleep on a recent Sunday night, when she was suddenly aroused by a woman, who told her to dress immediately, m her master had been taken SL The giri obeyed at onoe, bnt on going downstairs she was seized and gagged by two men, who tied her legs and arms, carried her to a carriage in waiting, and drove off. When the village had been left behind, one of the kidnappers asked the girl if she would like to enter their service. As the girl obstinately refused to listen to tibe proposal, she was chloroformed and laid upon the railway line, the cords which bound her being untied. Happily, the keen night air awoke the girl before the passage of a train, which had she remained on the rails much longer mnst have cut her in pieces.
