the same place, and of father A. j.

ADeputy sheriff Murdered.

MILFORD, N. H., Aug. IL. Between
tivs and six o'clock this morning Rufus
N. Wallingford. Deputy Sheriff of this
place, was found dead in the road near
the Fair Ground half mile below this
village. A single ball had entered his
breast ON the right side, passing through
his vest, on which were marks of powder
showing that the weapon must have been
very near. His own pistol was found
near him with one chamber discharged,
the same being crowded with grass and
dirt. His pocket book, which contained
some forty dollars, has not been found,
and as his vest was unbuttoned after the
the shot there are strong indications that
the man was murdered, rs there is no
blood to be discovered near the spot
where the body was found and no grass
that could have got into his own pistol.
The theory that finds the most favor is
that he was shot elsewhere and carried
there, his pistol being placed where it
would give the impression that the shoot
ing was accidental. A package of writs
which the deceased had in his pocket was
found some ten rods from the body,
covered with blood. Mrs. Stone who
lives near the spot, heard carriage APP
proach it about midnight and stop; she
then heard a report of pistol, when the
carriage went ON. Several other shots
were heard about the place during the
night Mr.. W. was man of some six
ty years of age and has been quite active
in his duties as sheriff, particularly in
looking after tramps. He was respected
citizen, leaves a wife, daughter and two
sons one practicing attorney at Aver
Mass, and large property.

good Sabbatarian. He was lately in De
troit on Sunday, and, passing billiard
hall with some friends, heard the balls
clicking as if it were a week day. He
politely inquired of the proprietor if he
made practice of keeping his hall open

cupid in one corner, was valued at Sc !:
