Buenos Ayres.-The explosion Of
a bomb at the corner of Corrientes

was person who dared. however. and
that was the landlords daughter a girl

at a distance, and she went into the

from the postmaster in Warren coun-
ty, that William had arrived at home
and was telling q very mysterious and
improbable story about the disappear
ance of Fisher, which induced the
community there to suppose he had
been disposed Of unfairly. Keys made
this letter public. which Immediately
set the whole town and adjoining
country agog. And so it has contin-
ued until yesterday.
The mass Of the people commenced
q systematic search for the dead body,
while Wickersham was dispatched to
arrest Henry Trailor at the Grove, and
Jim Maxcy to Warren to arrest Will
liam. On Monday last, Henry was
brought in. and showed an evident in
clination to insinuate that he knew
Fisher to be dead, and that Archibald
and William had. killed him. He said
he guessed the body could be found
in Spring creek, between the Boards

Springfield, June 10, 1s41.-Dear
Speed: We have had the highest state
Of excitement here for a week past
that our community has ever. wit
messed; and although the public feel
ing is somewhat allayed. the curious
affair which aroused 1t Is very far
from being over. yet cleared of mys-
terry. 1t would take quire of paper
to give you anything like full ac-
count of it. and l, therefore, only pro-
pose a brief outline.
The chief personages in the drama
are Archibald Fisher, supposed to be
murdered, and Archibald Trailor, Hen
ry Trailor and William Trailor, sup
posed to have murdered him. The
three Traitors are brothers. The first,
Archibald, as you know, lives In town;
the second, Henry. in Clary's Grove:
and the third. William. in Warren
county; and Fisher. the supposed
murdered, being without family. had
made his home with William. On Sat
urday evening, being the 29th Of May,
Fisher and William came to Henry's
in a one-horse dearborn. and there
stayed over Sunday; and Monday all
three came to Springfield Henry on
horseback). and joined Archibald at
Myers, the Dutch carpenter. That
evening at supper Fisher was missing.
and SO next morning some Intellectual
search was made for him; and on
Tuesday, at o'clock p. M, William
and Henry started home without him.
In a day or two Henry and one or
two of his Clary Grove neighbors
came back for him again. and adver-
tised his disappearance in the papers.
The knowledge of the matter thus
Tar had not been general, and here 1t
dropped entirely till about the 10th
