a young man called at the house, and requested
Mr.. Thompson TO assist him, as his wagon had

stranger, aud was found by his street gate about
an hour afterwards, under q tree on the highway,
Drutally murdered. His skull was broken open
with some instrument or club. No arrests, as
yet have been made, but our Hartford police
are on the track of the supposed murderer. A
suspicious character has been seen for several
days hanging about the village, and is sup
posed to be the murderer. Robbery was the
probable cause, as Mr.. Thompson had some
money ard bonds in the house.
