The Boston Traveller SAYS, of the murder of
The voung Irish rirl near IouUwood of which
we gave some account Yesterday, that it "is an
occurrence wei calculated TO awaken the indig.
nation of our citizens, and more than that, to
fil them with alarm The crime was as bold
as il is mysterious. and people will feel safer as
they walk oar streets al night if they can be as
sured OF the arrest OF the mur1erers If the de-
tectjvcs believe that the offer of reward will
aid 10 their detection, there will be no difficulty
in securing the pledge OF a large sum for that
purpose. In some Of its respects this crime is
not unlike the Bussey woods murder at West
Roxbury, a few wears ago"
