Murder on a Railway Car.

--A singular murder was committed on the 6th, on the Mulhouse (France) Railroad. M. Poinsot, one of the Presidents of the Imperial Law Courts, was traveling in a first-class carriage from Troyes to Paris. In the carriage there was but one passenger. On arriving at the station M. Poinsot was found lying in a pool of blood with his throat cut. He was quite dead. The unknown passenger, who had got out the instant the train stopped, disappeared. He had robbed his victim of everything valuable about him.
