Murder in Montgomery county, Md,

--On Thursday afternoon three soldiers belonging to the 22d Massachusetts Regiment went on the farm of a Mr. George Wilson, near Silver Spring, and attempted to steal some of his pigs, but the old gentleman discovering them, expostulated with them, and at last attempted to pull a pig away from them, when he was knocked down and run through the body with a bayonet by one of the party, from the effects of which he died in a short time. In the course of the afternoon one of the party, named John Mara, was arrested and taken to Fort Massachusetts. --Wash, Star.
