More Mystery. - We scarcely open a paper without reading some discovered murder, some mysterious event hidden for many years, and about to be developed. The Hagerstown (Maryland) News, of the 13th, notices a horrible and mysterious story about a case of murder, said to have been committed in the neighborhood of Boonsboro some 10 or 12 years ago, by a couple of women, who, on removing to the west left behind them a girl who had been reared in the family, and who has recently made a disclosure to the effect that the family some ten or twelve years ago murdered a pedlar and threw his body into a neighboring well - that she, being very young at the time, was prevented by threats of death from making any disclosures, and that the bones of the pedlar could now, upon examination be found in the well. The well has been examined and the bones found - and an eminent physician of the town of Boonsboro' who had been present at the death bed of one of the murderers, before the family's removal, has testified to a confession of the murder.
