A band of gypsies have lived in Brun-
der Hollow the past winter, occupying an
old schoolhouse which stands nesr a new
one recently built. The youngest of the
young men, who is "a years OF age, has
been frequent visitor at the house of
David Reed who lives in that vicinity.
The object Of his visits was to see young
girl whom he was free TO say he desired to
marry. He was told by the parents of the
girl that he could not marry her, and was
given to understand that he was not a well
come visitor. In answer to this he made
threats, saying that if the parents intelf.r-
ed he would put some bloody bullets
through them. The girl was sent to school,
but not withstardiug the teachers and
parents remOnstrance, considerable of her
time was spent with the pypsies. They
finally succeeded in their endeavors to en-
tIce her away. On Thursday, April "A, the
young man with the girl left the hollow

Monkay, the 2Slh. They claim to be limo

they furnished team for the couple &c

search was commenced by Mr.. Reed as soor
as he discovered the fact Of his daughter:
elopement. He found that they had gone
in the direction of Norwich. Justice A
c. Stanton issued a warrant last Faiday FOL

was sent az far as Norwich but failed ir
finding the couple. The old folks, ht
learned, were near Mt. Upton. The whole
company will be united, probably, within q
few days. Mr. Reed il anxious to get bach

that he will not succeed unless the people

Our readers are all familiar with the horri
bic details Of the murder Of MIS-. Hannah
Costello, near the little town of Easton, four.
teen miles west of this city, on the 18th
instant. The intense excitement OF the
immediate neighborhood at the time, and In
fact, of the whole country, as the diaboIicsl
details OF this foul deed were unfolded, are
still fresh in the memories Of every one. The
arrest OF James Murray, her adjoining neigh.
Dor, as the perpetrator OF the crime, on
account of an o.d grudge he held against her,
and other suspicious circumstances, and has
being held to answer for the same in the
District Court of this county in the sum OF
1900 bail, which was furnished at the time
of his trial, Will also be remembered.
At first, il was supposed that the excite
ment would subside after the arrest,
and at the proper time, Murray
would be permitted u have his trial in the
proper courts of justice; but reports
from that vicinity were received to the effect
that the feeling against him was intersifI
daily, and that the belief in regard TO his
guilt constantly grew stronger. stiI, the
public were little prepared for the news
which was brought into this city yesterday,
aud the sad denouernent startled every one.
