TOMB OF DAVID.
The mysteries of the Tomb of David oreat
last revealed to the Christian world by un iu
genious ruse of Miss Uurclny for some years
a resident of Jerusalem. This adventurous
lady, after having visited the Harem Kudo
s'.! r a at the risk of her life dutermined to
explore, iu tho disguise ofa Turkish lady the
Tory tomb of the "Prophet David," for more
than six ccuturies iu the jealons custody of the
Turks.
The blind Dervish, who kept tho entrance
to this sacred spot, was deceived by the fa
milliar use of tho Arabic language as well as
the assurance of her friend, in the person of a
liberal miudod nnd very beautiful Turkish
girl, iuitiated hor as a Pilgrim from Coutauti
eple, coino to perform her devotions at the
Shrines of their Lords and Prophets, David
and Solomon. Her devotional feelings were
put to a strong test, on observing this devotee
f Islam take the Saturated wick from an oil
lamp, and deliberately devour it as an act of
religoes devotion. After her form of prayer
had ended, she raised tho spleuded silken can
opy, overhanging the tumulus containing the
body of David, and there, in royal state, was
tho veritable sarcophagus of David, having its
marble covor adorned with the most beautiful
festoons of grape Mio emblem of the Jewish
architecture and other ancient devices which
she carefully transferred to paper yet to be
presented to the "City of the Ureal Kings,"
soon to make it j appearance.
No traces of its ancient treasures remained,
that'bavo so often been pillaged by the eastern
rnonarchs.
llyrcamis the son of Simon tlo Maccabce,
is said to have despoiled it of three thousand
talent?, prior to its exploration by Herod the
Oreat, who when he had penetrated the man
eiot.s of tho dead, found nothing to satisfy
hia enpi-iity, save some furniture of gold which
lie caiiiod uway At another time rolling
balls of tire aro said to have burst forth, and
by the superstitious believed to have con
sumed the seekers of bullion and treasure, said
to be inhumed, even at the present day. This
interesting and tabooed spot, as well os the
Mosque of Omar, will soon bit open to Chris
tian inspection, without Turkish let or
hindranco, us the writer of this hasty sketch,
(furnished by Miss H.,) is already satisfied
Iroin personal experience in his exploration
of the latter, thought not less sacred edifice.

THE BUKDELL MURDER.

The fifth Act In the Tragedy.
Mrs. Cunningham Attemjiting to Palm off a
Child, uith a view of Getting Dr. BurdelVs
Estate She it Amsted.
The General renoitthat Mrs. Cunningham,
whom everybody lias supposed to have been
pregnant for months, wus safely delivered of
a cuilu tins uinrninir, who woulu claim as
heir to the Burdt-41 estate, created a good
deal of excitement throughout tho city, which
was increased by the announcement that Mrs.
Cunningham was uuder arrest, fur what cause
wus not known.
The fallowing statement of the facts in the
case, which wus procured at the District
Attorney's oflice this morning, and elsewhere,
by our reporters, will shed somo light upon
tho mystery, end disclose the history of a
crime ttlways without parallel in this city.
Dr. Uhl has been in attendance with Dr.
Catlin, of Brooklyn, upon Mrs. Cunuingham.
Dr. Uhl had been led to believe that Mrs. C.
was cneieute. She hud presented all the
external appearances of ono about to be a
mother as tie expressed it. But Dr. Uhl
remarked, about a month ago, that ns yet
there was no positive evidence of pregnancy,
and told her that, under tho circumstances,
he thought it bis duty to make a medical
examination. Mrs. Cunningham appeared
very reluctant, and put the matter olf from
time to time. Finally she told him plainly
that she was not pregnant at all ; that she
had been playing a game, and he (Dr. Uhl)
must help ber out with it.
Dr Uhl, previously to this time, bud had
confidence in the lady, but this bold proposi
tion took him completely aback. He imme
diately consulted counsel, and upon legal
advice stated the whole mutter to District
Attorney Hull. Mr. Hall told him it was
his duty to carry out the mutter in order to
develope a great crime, and supply the proof
for the criminal's conviction. Dr. Uhl finally
consented.
He told Mrs. Cunningham that ho was ac
quainted with a California widow, who wus,
he feared, about to be confined, und it would
be necessary to dispose of the child altogether,
as the lady was going on to join her husband
in California.
Mrs. Cunuinghum wus delighted. It was
arranged that neither party was to know
anything of the other. The "widow" wus to
be confined at a house in Kim street, and the
infant to be taken thence to No. 31 Bjud
street.
Mr. Hull then imparted the matter to Dr.
Do la Molitagnic. and engaged him to assist
iu tho counterplot, whenever the critical
time should arrive. Yesterday morning, Dr.
De la Montugnie went to Belluvue lltpitul,
and with the consent of Governor Duly, se
lected a babe of Klizabelh Andersen, n beau
tiful little blue-eyed girl, born ou Suturday
last The mother kissed her baby, and con
sented to part with it on condition that it
should be well taken care of, and returned
within tweuty-four hours
Dr. Uhl visited Mrs. Cunningham, by ap
pointment, m half-past three o'clock iu the
afternoon, und told her he was prepared to
cairy out the thing at once ; that the Cali
fornia widow was about to be confined at No.
1 'JO Kim street, aud she must be prepared to
receive the little stranger with proper cere
monies. Then she said she would be confined
(hut night, if he would produce the child by
nine o'clock. Ho was to come over und let
her know at a quarter before nine o'clock,
und she would send a womuu to bring the
child in a basket.
No time was to be lost. Mr. Hull hired a
room of a respectable lager beer seller, ut No.
190 Klin street, and immediately sent down
euitablo furniture from liis own house, inclu
ding the basket for the baby. Dr. Uhl took
possession of the premises, and had hardly
got possession when Mrs. C. was seen passing
the house and eyeing it closely.
Policemen were now judiciously posted,
nnd everything wus arranged. Dr. Montng
uiu immediately posted to Bellevuu Hospital,
und succeeded hi getting whut he wanted, as
well as the assistance of uu intelligent Irish
girl, named Mury Begun, who was to act as
nurse to the Cclitiou widow. A physician
was ulso engugt'd to lie iu bed with u night
cap on, und do the groaning for the "widow."
This party arrived ut 1 'JO 1.1 n street just in
lime.
Officer Wm. B. Walsh, of the Court of
Sessions, was posted in the street opposite,
ami Inspectors Speight ami Dilkes in Bond
street. The physician who was to pt rsouutu
the "widow," assisted Dr. Moutaguie in cer
tain operations necessary to give the child
tho appearance ofa new-born babe, and then
went to bed. Somo private murks were ulso
matte on the child s beud, with nitrate ol
silver. A messenger was scut to 21 Bond
Street.
Shortly after Capt. Speight saw Mrs.
Cunuinghum leave her house ; followed her
into a Fourth it vein cur, where sho wus
recognized by the Conductor uud some pas
sengers, who spoke to Capt. Speight about
her. Shu wus disguised in a tiuusi nun's
dress. The Cuptuiii followed her into Kim
street, nnlil she disappeared iuto thelargtr
oeer suioon.
He then returned to his post. In a few
moments Dr. Uhl came out uud asked the
(Givers opposito whether they had seen the
woman leuvo tho house. She hud passed out
so quietly thut they bad failed to perceive
her.
The officers in xt repaired to No. 31 Bond
street, where tliey learned that Mrs. Cun
uinghum had gouu out, but hud not returned,
unit thut a man with a white hut bad cone in.
This was Dr. Culler, of Brooklyn, who was
assisting Mrs. C. in good fuilh.
Dr. Moutaguie at once went to the corner
of the Bowery and Bond street, where he
met Mrs, Cunningham, in the nun's dress,
with a lurge basket iu her hands, in which she
hud placed the baby. She went into her
house.
It had been arranged between her and Dr.
Uhl thut she should send in urgent haste to
bis house. Accordingly he bad appeared and
went.
He sonn ea'no out and walked down t'e
street. The officers then weut up, by the
District Attorney's directions, rung the bull
and entered. They were met by two womeu
at the door, who informed them that Mrs.
Cuuninghum was very sick and could not be
seen. They fouud her iu bed with the buby
by her side one or the "nurses" giving ber
warm drink from a dish over a lamp from
time to time.
Dr. Moutaguie asked if that was Dr. Bur
doll's buby. Mrs. Cunuiugbain replied, "Cer
tainly, whose else could it be V The officers
at length told her that she must be arrested,
that the game was played out.
She was apparently under the iufluence of
opium, in order to create artificial puleuess.
Oue of the nurses was taken to the station
bouse, and the other remained at No. 31
Bond street with Mrs. Cuni.ingham, iu
charge of the officers.
To-day affidavits wore submitted before
Justice Flandrean, and warrauts were issued
for the arrest of M rs. Cunningham, her Dursts,
Dr. Cutler and others.

And it can coma from no better source save

seem to be very ready to hearken onto.
Editors and office-hunters are constantly
dinninv the ears of tho President with the
cry that, "the Mormon problem is a knotty
one, me matter becomes exceeoingiy com
plicated." "the 'Mormon' Question Is assuming
a shape that will not permit its solution to be
much longer delayed," "something, hit or
miss, right or wrong, must be done with the
Mormons." anil sn nil.
Now it is notorious to all who rend and
fairly think that this noiso and smoke are
raised without the first shadow of occasion
given by the people of Utah, who are quietly
nursuinir ihnir tiPAeefiil nnd legitimate occu
pations, breakinir no applicable law, human
or divine. But the universal yoli is, "Presi
dent Buchanan must do something with the
Mormons." Not vol knnwine how Ions and
how well be may bo able to withstand the
terribly clamorous and unjust outsme pres

This is ceitaiuly fair, is very cconmnicul,
and should be p'eifectly satisfactory to the
most rabid "Mormon" eaters. But in case
that should not suit tho fire-eating, blood-aud-thunder,
bell-anu-fury, spoils-seeking, of-fice-buuting

the community, we suggest to thein that they
send a committee from their own clans, and
so long as they behave at all as whitk men

FACTS AKD fe'LCKi KSt IONS).
Great Suit Luke City is neotly one thou
sand miles, by any known pruvlicul route,
from any important point of trade on navi
gable waters, and Utah has not a single
stream or sheet of water valuable for naviga
tion within her borders. ProoT, nil of the
most correct maps published. In such un
isolated region, aside from other more forbid
ding peculiarities, desirable for settlement by
this money, pleusure and truilc-worshipping
generation ? No, for they never have settle
a
iu it, neither could those of them who have
seen it be cheaply even hired to occupy it.
Is it good policy in our government to have
its extensive domuin improved by her own
subjects, and by those who desire to become
naturulized as fust as the laws will permit T
Most assuredly, yes. Then why such a gen
eral and most unwise bowling by piients,
politicians, editors and people, concerning
tho settlement of Utah by tho most virtuous,
industrious, peaceful, united uud luw-abiding
population there is in the whole Union? The
devil is too cunning to answer that question ;
and wheu the Lord's servants and honorable
men repeatedly and most plainly expose the
reason, it really seems to be harder to beat
the actual facts into the bruins of those howl
ers, than it would be to split a white oak-fork
with a Uougu wetlgo and squash beetle.
Within the tinted Stales ure millions upon
millions of fertile acres : where rains, snows
and dows distil their timely moisture: where
insects do not ravage ; where timber is
plenty, good, and handily procured; where
no droughts compel expensive und luborious
irrigation ; where the soil is fertile and fncili
ties for locomotion and transportation cheap,
easily accessible and abundant. This, all w ill
admit. Utah is broken iu every direction bv
rugged, barren mountains, interspersed w ith
sterile pluins uud dry valleys, upon which
duw is rarely, if over seen, and whose parched
surfaces aro but occasionally and scantily
moistened by welcome ruin, while tl.o winter
blockuding snows are greedily absorbed where
as they melt, or devostutiugly rush from the
mountain ranges before the tilled soil is avail
able for their application.
Tho Tew and widely scattered localities,
thut will at best but barely admit of occupan
cy by a people whom the civilization und
Christianity of the nineteenth ceutmy will us
vet admit ol living now here else, have to be
made productive by an immense outlay of
labor and expense iu constructing dams,
ditches, embankments, water gates, sluices
and cauuls, to divert the punny streams upou
crops that would otherwise never mature.
And oft. ufter this vast amount of extra toil,
the husbandman and tree grower nre com
pelled to behold, with whut forti'ude they
may, the results of their anxious cure wither
und die ere maturity, blasting their fund an
ticipations (r healthful sustenance ; uud fro
queutly whut the drouth bus spared the tlo
vourer consumes, for the grasshopper it ml
cricket have proved to be harder to cope w ith
than the inexperienced have ever imagined.
The scant amount of fuel and timber, which
is mostly brittle, small and knotty, is almost
invariably confined to the nurrnw knnyons
and high, steep slopes of the mountains, far
if not always in distance nt least in difficulty
of access from the few places x licit settle
ments cun bo made, and the best of it gene
rully so located as to be pronounced inacces
sible by many of even the most experienced
settlers, and to procure a scanty ami deur
supply of which roads have to bo laid out
with much judgment, and made nnd kept iu
repair at great expense. Locomotion and
transportation to uud from within Utah's
borders is, and without ruilroads and canals
must bo, confined to the speed and strength
of horses, mules und oxen, and to the capaci
ty and conveniences ull'orded by carriages
and wagons, modes of conveyance rather
uucnticing to the dwellers umid railroads,
canals aud uavigublu waters innumerable.
Strangers may be tempted to question the
correctness of the above brier, outlined sketch
of Utah, am! the contrust betweeu her rugged,
uninviting features, and the beautiful, smiling
countenances or the Slates, and may enquire,
"who knows concerning the truth or these
statements?" Cupt. Howard Stansbury, the
lute Capt. J. W. Gunnison, and all whohave
ever traversed the country with eyes and
brains iu their heads, and with judgment and
candor euough to fairly represent facts as
they do exist.
Few, if any, among them aro sufficiently
frunk and intelligent to discern the justice or
publishing both views or the question, that
truth and error may have a fair field ot com
bat. They bluzoo error and sinotuVr truth,
and who loves and applauds their course ?
How opposite to that is the conduct of
every true Suiot. Not having u paper large
enough and of a grado ot vharucter low
enough to render it compatible to print
therein all the slanders upaint ns which
arrived iu a six months mail, President Brig
ham Young notified the congregation, on
Suuday, the 7th, that if they would like to
bear what was published ubout us in the
States they would mauifest it by assembling
in the Bowery by 8 A. M., on tho moruiug
of the 14th. The Presideut caused the whole
six months butch to be collected, and request
ed two excellent readers to be present at the
time and place appointed, who read by turns,
for nearly four hours, the printed productions
of frenzied, beclouded and addled braius, to
an immeuse congregation of tho purest and
noblest people to be found on the whole
earth, and could editors, scribblers, and
speech makers, bave seeu the smiles of deri
sion and sneers of disgust with which their
lucubrations and studied obloquies were le
ceived by each intelligent hearer, it might
seem thut they would have been tempted to
turu their time, efforts and publications into
a channel that would in some small degree
benefit their fellow being T
We also .humanely suggest that the rabid
bit not tempted to leave tbeir comfortable
homes In a pleasant land, to cross desert
plains and crauct mountains solely to molest
people who are peacefully and roost benefl-1
cially occupying a dreary waste which none
ei mem would ever improve, unless tnrougu
compulsion and take the liberty of exhorting 1
ana aavising each acconntaDie awener wuuin
the extended borders of the United States,
who really loves his country and her free
Institutions, to observe the 'Mormon" motto
or "mind your own bnsiness," and not only1
to permit all others to observe wholosotrre
laws, do ffood. and worshio Jehovah as shall
best please each Individual, but aid all in so
doing, so far as may be possible.

been temporarily suspended, the encumpmeut

Yankton Indians, aud removed to the Big

The objection ruised by the Yanktons was,
that Colouels Noble's party, in crossing their
country, would frighten away the buffulo, tbeir

wheat and rye will give an arerati vie!
notwithstanding the combined depredations
or the weevil and joint-worm. But what bas
been lost in the rye is being amply made np
to our farmers in the outs, which promises an
immense yield. Also, instead ofthe exten

"golden cars" comes to maturity. A gentle
man of Mayberry township showed me n
bunch of "brag wheat" the other day, con
sisting of seven lurge beads, each averaging
full four inches in length. The heads con
tained un average of sixty grains each, making
four hundred and twenty grains of wheat in
all all produced from one grain. Surely
that wus prolific seed.

It will be remembered that Mr. KaBO is

farm of John Mowrer in Mahoning towuship,
Montour county. Three Maehiues were
brought iuto the field, tiamely : Hussey's Im

Geddet Marth Co., ot Lewisburg. Pa..
Mauov's Patent, manufactured at JIuonUL
Fulh'K. Y., and Ketchum's manufactured at
Reading by Boas SV Spongier. Tbe machines
were worked by the owners or agents. Af
ter seeing the operation of the three ma
chines, we give our preference to tho Hus
sey Reaper aud Mower, for the following
reus on 8.'
1. We thiuk it is the most durable ma
chine. 2. It costs less than the Manny's and tbe
Ketchum's.
3. It is very simple in its construction and
not liable to get out of order.
4. It is manufactured in this section of the
country.
And we would sey to our neighbors, that
if you want a good, durable and reliable Rea
per and Mower, get oue ofthe Hussey's Im.
