THE BURDEI.L MCRDER CASE. —The trial of Mrs Cunningham, indicted as a principal in the murder of Dr. Burdell, was commenced in New York on Monday week before Judge Da vies. The entire day and evening, until 9P. M., was consumed ih obtaining a jury. Many of the five hundred who were empaneled were absent, and many of those present had formed an opinion. Mrs. Cunningham was present, dressed in deep mourning, and accompanied by her two daughters. Eckel was also in court, and sat by the side of his counsel dnring the day. The District Attorney opened the case for the prosecution ou Tuesday. The trial was concluded on Saturday last, and ended in the acquittal of Mrs. Cnnning bam. There was not the slightest evidence which cast suspicion even upon her as a parti cipant in the bloody deed. Eckel was dis charged from custody upon nominal bail, upou his own recognizance. He will probably not be tried. Terrible Conflagration. On Monday night last, a little before ten o'clock, our citizens were aroused by the cry of FIRE, for a long time happily unheard in our village. When first discovered the flames were bursting through Ah-wa-ga House barn, a very large and well finished frame building, containing eight horses, one cow, and a large quautity of hay, besides two omnibuses, a num ber of valuable wagons and carriages, har nesses, etc. As soon as the flames were dis covered a rush was made for the barn, and the front door opened ; but the whole inside was a mass of flames, and it was utterly im possible to rescue the horses, two of which had been driven into the bam but a few min utes previously, and were hitched to the om nibus. In a few moments the whole building was enveloped in flames, and from its combus tible nature and the force of the wind, which was then blowing a gale, few entertained any hopes of saving any of the frame buildings in its vicinity. The flames roared and surged through the roof carrying the burning shingles in every direction. Occasionally the flames, as if acted upon by a violent whirlwind, would tower straight up, illuminating the whole vil lage, then instantly the eolninu would be lash ed down horizontally over the neighboring roofs covering them with glowing shingles and burning embers. It was really the most terr.f fie sight we have seen. Soo.i Charles Beers' Livery stable, from which the horses, wagons aud harnesses, etc., were with difficulty res cued, and his dwelling hou<e on Lake street, Gold's aud Riley's blacksmith shops and Conk liu's wagon shop, were in flames and all efforts for their safety were unavailing. The elegart residence of Capt. Ayers and the large barn belonging to the Central House, were saved by the greatest efforts. The Central House itself was in the most imminent danger, and had it not befen for the combined exertions of a number of active citizens, aided by a good full cistern and a long line of pails, it would not be now standing almost entirely uninjured, externally at least. Isaac Hall's boot and shoe manufactory had a narrow escape, as al so Mr. Huntington's residence. A little shan ty that stands off the street, between Mr. Beers' residence aud the Messrs. Lameraux's saddlery was pulled down and by that means checked the fire from progressing down the cast side of Lake street. Mr. Brower's loss must be $2.500 or $3,000 on whii h we learn he has SSOO insurance.— Mr. Beers, and Mr. Gould aud Mr. Riley had no insurance. The entire loss must uinouut to between $6,000 and $7,000. Of the eight horses destroyed in Mr. Brow er's barn, five belonged to Mr. Brower, one to James Wright, o ; e to Mr. Newell and one to Benjamiu Wilcox. Each was worth at least $l5O. Mr. Beers lost in his barn 10 or 12 tons of hay, and about 300 bushels of oats. The origin of the fire is unknown. The dri ver of the omnibus was in the barn not over 10 minutes before the fire was discovered.— There was a fluid lamp burning in the omni bus. It may have exploded, or the stump of a cigar may have been dropped. There are some suspicions of deliberate iuceudiarism.— Owego Times. NATIONAL HOTEL DISEASE. —Mr. Briggs, of the National Hotel, has called and requested us to correct a statement in onr article of Sa turday evening, touching the fatal disease.— We cheerfully do so. He says that no rats were found in the tanks—that the one on the ground-floor was mad' of granite, and the other, on the roof, was closed by a spring door. The water was pumped from the lower to the upper one, which he visited twice or three times daily, and can vouch as to the impossi bility of rats getting into either. The assertion made in distant papers that the disease made its first appearance when Mr. Buchanan came, Mr. Briggs states to be un true. Cases as early, he thinks, as the Bth of January, were noted. The hot weather of February succeeding, the house was kept cool, and no cases presented themselves. In March the weather changed, and it became necessary to close windows and doors, and light fires : which being done, the disease commenced with the fury which has made it so laniei tably no torious.— Washington States, May 6. MYSTERIOUS MURDER. —On Thursday mor ning the dead body of a young and beautiful woman ajiparently twenty years of age, was fonnd lying in a ploughed field at Hampton, about five miles north of Newburg. She was entirely naked, and round her neck was found a cord, and from this circumstance, as well from the distortion of her features, it was evident her death had been caused by stran gulation. No clue to her name or whence she came, had been discovered at last advices from Newbnrg, but the Coronor had common oed an inquest. None of her apparrel was found, and the only article belonging to her that has been discovered so far Was a Targe cameo brooch, or breastpin.— New York Ad vertiser. teifTlieN. Y. Times gives as "an Item for (Jld Buck," the following : "On Wednesday night AT the Opera, Col. FREMONT and Kx- Pre.iident Fillmore sat side by side in a front seat, listening to Gazzauiga in " Norma," ap parently entirely forgetful that there had been a Presidential election last Fall. If Mr. Bu chanan could have looked in and seen how per fectly satisfied and placid these two rivals of his appeared in their defeat, we are not sure, hot that he would have envied theua their hap- Py escape from the toils and troubles of the w hite Iloasc." ANOTHER BI.OODYTRAOEDY.— Two Shocking Murders for Money. —The Pittsburg papers of Saturday contain the particulars of another shocking tragedy, committed in the borough of McKeesport, Pennsylvania. The victims were an old and decrepid couple, brother and sister, between sixty and seventy years of age, by the names of George aud Elizabeth Wil son. The couple lived in a small cabin on the main road leading to Elizabethtown, and had by economy and industry, succeeded in accu milating some money, whereby they might support themselves in their declining year 9. It appears that a day ot two previous there came to the cabin a large and masculine look ing female, who craved shelter for charity sake. The boon was freely granted and dur ing the first day of the stranger's stay at the house, she made particular inquiries concern ing the pecuniary circumstances of her benefac tors. Ab"ort 8 o'clock last Friday morning, a neighbor's little girt proceeded to pay her ac customed visit to the old couple at their cabin. She opened the door and entered ; but instead of being received with a welcome and a smile as was nsual, a horrid spectacle was presented to her gaze. The brother had been stabbed to the heart, and the knife which inflicted the deadly wound, lay a short distance from the corpse, all covered with blood. By the side of the brother, lay the sister, a mutila ted in a manner shocking to the senses, and sickening to the heart of humanity ; her head was bruised and beaten so horribly that it would have been impossible to recognize it from the rest of her body, as the representa tion of anything hnman. A poker besmear ed with blood, was lying on the hearth, and it is supposed to have been the instrument used in performing this act of barbarous butch ery. The woman spoken of, who claims to be married to a man named Fife, has been arrest ed on suspicion, as was her pretended hus band, and a man named Mon Stewart. Blood was found upon Fife's clothing, and it is stat ed in a postscript that Charlotte Jones or Fife (the woman spoken of) has disclosed the whole affair, implicating the men arrested and two others—her brother one of them. SINGULAR FREAK OF A BIRD. —The Somer set (Pa.,) Democrat says, some time last fall, a blackbird came to Mr. Joseph Snyder's in this borough, and has since lived contentedly with the chickens. It lias thoroughly domesti cated, and comes regularly for his food. In stead of roosting as chickens do, it takes a position ou tiie rooster's back, who bears the weight of his little friend with great good na ture. But the most singular of all is this it has learned to crow like a cock, and crows re gularly, more frequently than the rooster, and seems to be vain of its accomplishment. It is a real bona fide crow, clear and loud and similar to that of a young rooster. The bird can be seen and heard daily ; and if any one doubts its truth, they can be convinced by seeing and hearing for themselves. The age is progessive, aud the birds are keepiug up with the times. noßp.ini.F. ACCIDENT. — A man saiced in two. The London (C W.) Free press of yesterday, says that on Wednesday of last week, a most shocking accident occured in a circular saw-mill at Wallsinghara. Charles Harris, a young man lately married, had just been employed that morning to work in the mill and was set carrying away boards as they dropped from the saw. He was cautioned against the dan ger of letting a board touch the saw while in motion, but the unfortunate man had taken away but a few boards when the end of one he had just taken up swayed agaiust the saw, and being repelled with violence, caused the other end to force him against the saw, then in full motion, and, as quick as thought, he was cut in twain. The saw struck first the point of the left shoulder passing directly through the heart, and out under the ribs on the right side of the body. MAINE. —The legislature of Maine passed two acts of an important character previous to its adjournment, besides resolutions condemn ing the Dred Scott decision. One of these acts provides that in case a fugitive slave is arrested under the act of Congress in that state, the cour)tv attorney shall undertake his defence and summon the necessary witnesses to establish it. The second enacts that any slave voluntar ly brought into that state by his mas ter, or with his knowledge and consent, shall thereby become free ; and if restrained of his liberty, lie may, on the writ of habeas corpus, lie discharged from such restraint ; and any at tempt by any person to restrain such slave Of his liberty, shall be punished by a fine not ex ceeding one thousand dollars, or by imprison ment not exceeding one year. Mrs. Anna Maria Veitangrnber, who has been confined in the jail of Sullivan co., since October 1855, waiting trial for the mur der of her husband, will be tried at the May term of Court. Satisfactory arrangements could not be effected by the Prosecuting At tornoy and defence to carry the trial into another county. ROLLOFFE AT LARGE —Rolloffe, the mur derer, whose application for a new trial is among the rases to be decided at the General Term of the Snpreme Court in Owego next week, broke out of the Tompkins County jail night before last, and made his escape ! The Sheriff of the county offers a Reward of SSOO for his detection and re-arrest ; but no eiue to his whereabouts or of the direction he took, had been ascertained when cars left Ith aca last evening.— Owego Gazette. ted 0 - The following notice is posted conspic uously in a printing office "down East"—Shut this door, aud as soon as you have done talk ing on business, serve your mouth in the same way." fQr It is stated that of the 606 convicts who now occupy the Ohio Penitentiary, 554 cannot read or write, and 400, or nearly 60 per cent of the entire number, have no trades. This brief return is full of meaning l . It at once admonishes and instructs. There are two great esentials for success in life—educa tion and regular oceupatiou. We leafn that the dwelling house of JOHN 11. OSTLER, in Forks township, in this county, was destroyed by fire, one day last week. Mr. O , and bis family were abseut at the time, consequently the entire contents of the hon6e were consumed. We did not learn the particulars— Sullivan Co. Democrat.
