IMPROBABLE STORY.
The Montreal Herald OF April 10, con
tains an account Of a hotrid murder and
robbery, said 10 have been perpelrated at
SacketS Hdr6Or. by an innk rcper and his
wife. We presume the whole story 10 be
fatSe, as we have papers of a subsequent
dale from Sackei'S Harbor, which make
no neHiion otthe horrid affair. This very
improbable story is now generally circu-
latlng III Tie wspapcrs.
