Robert H. Peck, aged 27 years, left Hartford at 11.45 last Saturday evening, on the last car for West Hartford. He had about a mile to walk to reach his home. His body was found beside the road on Sunday morning by milk-mar. He had been shot through the head at close range, and then robbed of every thing, including $50 in money, the motive of the killing being no doubt the knowl- edge that he had this sum about him. Peck bore good character. Two young men who were seen to leave the car with Peck were no doubt the murderers. They were about 20 years of age, and theil identity is not yet discovered

Governor Norris fast day proclamation attracts considerable attention on account of the somewhat unusual wording:
 I hereby appoint Friday, the twenty third day of March, as a day of fasting and prayer.
 It has been the custom of this common wealth for many years, to observe this day by meeting in their places of public worship, and invoking the blessing of heaven upon this country. The minds of the people seem so greatly at variance concerning the things needful for their happiness, that it would be we'll for them to continue the custom of observing this day, and in their invocations say, 70, Jesu hominum salvator," with Thy gracious light illumine the minds of thy children, who, groping in darkness, are unable to see the truth when it is presented to them.

The friends of Ireland are greatly cheer.

The friends of Ireland are greatly cheer ed by the declaration of Lord Rosebery, the new British premier, that there was to be no change in liberal policy. Lord Rosebery stated plainly that the policy of home rule for Ireland would not be less definitely pursued than under MT. Glad stones leadership, and, as pledge of this, John Morley had been continued in his present office as chief secretary for Ireland. He had been offered higher office, but thought it his duty not to sever his career from the cause of Ireland.
