(From the New York Herald, Ist inst.) Horrible and Mysterious Murder in Bond Street, New York. A very dreadful tragedy was enacted at the No. 31 Bond St., either on Friday night early yesterday (Saturday) morning, resuh.d in the death of Dr. Harvey Bur , a dentist, %Niko practised there. The boy o attended to the ..v.ork room of, the deceased on going to the above named boarding house yesterday morning. fauna, a little after eight o'clock, the body of his employer lying on the floor of his bed room, dead and surrounded with clots of congealed blood. Much alarm naturally existed, and 'Hr. Fran cis was called in to make a post mortem extnni. nation. He found that Dr. Burdell had been strangled by a ligature applied around the throat, and that tho.inurderer had inflicted be sides fifteen deep wounds with a sharpeMstru ment on his person, any one of which was al most sufficient to cause death alone. On searching the house last night, a sheet and a night shirt, both stained with blood, were found in a room near the garret, but great cau• tion will be required in affixing the suspicion of having committed such a diabolical crime on any person. However, the officers should not and we hope will not, rest until the perpetrator or perpetrators of tho.deed are made amenable to justice. Coroner Connery is now investigating this horrid nffifir. It has already appeared that de ceased had some squabbles about money mat ters with his landlady. The following testi mony was taken. John Blrchnll, a hoy, who attended to Dr. Burdell, testified to finding him, in the morn ing, lying on the floor with blood around him, ran down stairs and gave the alarm. Allen Smith, a partner of Burdell, testified to having heard angry. words between Dr. Burdell and Mrs. Cunningham, his landlady relative to some papers and notes tb a considerable amount. Never knew of anybody sleeping with the deceased at night, neither did I hear that a doc tor from Havana slept with him last summer ; I never heard or knew that any female slept with him ; I have never heard from him that any one owed him ill will, except the difficulty between him and Mrs, Cunningham about the notes ; the doctor told me the day before yes terday that he was very anxious to preserve some papers, that the key of the safe was taken, and that he thought he would deposit them in the bank ; the nature of the document was an agreement between him and Mrs. C. in relation to the giving up of the house on the Ist of May next to. Mr. Burdell, exonerating him from all indebtedness. The Mrs. Cunning Augustaßurdell, th, She was under ek titicate of he From a, it apn mean; alluded to is Emma r pretended wife of deceased. i nation, and presented a cer- marriage. - po" - st mortem examination of the body, ors strangulation had been used as a of destroying the life of the deceased. tongue was also found to be protruding _me distance from his mouth, which also proved that the deceased had been suffocated. In the heart were found two wounds one in the ventricle and the other in the suricle. The lungs were also cut ; also the carotid artery and first vertebia. There were fifteen incised wounds upon the body, all of which were deep and appeared to have been made with a very narrow bladed in strument. There did not appear to be any in juries on the head. Around the neck there was a discoloration of the skin, as though the deceased had been seized by the throat while the murderer was plunging the knife with fatal. dexterity into the body of the victim. The room wherein the murder was commit ted was the reception room and office of the de ceased. The death struggle appears to have taken place in the corner of the room nearest the door, for hero the walls aro stained with streaks and spots of blood. It was here too, that the jugular vein was severed, for there is a perfect stream of gore uron the wall in this corner of the room. Mr . Burdell says that her husband never keptilriy money in the house ; that he always deposited it in the bank, so there does not ap pear to have been any incentive to robbery in the commission of this mat foul and cruel mur der. Moreover none of the deceased's papers were discovered to have been touched. Every thing was in order. so that the presumption that he might have Inen murdered by the bur glars is entirely out of the question. Dr. Burdell was quite a wealthy man, being possessed of $BO,OOO in stocks and real estate. lie has been married twice. From later testimony we gleaned the follow. ing particulars: From the appearance of the room, it seems ho had been sitting In his chair, looking over his papers, while some one came from behind. evidently from the closet door. The design probably was originally to strangle him, and then carry the body into the street. From the mom the marks of blood were traced up along the entry and stairs into the fourth story, into a store room, where lay a man's bloody shirt and night shirt, and a bloody sheet. From there the blood was traced into the front room of the same story, where, upon the-floor, the stains had been carefully covered with sperma cetti. A grate in that room had contained a fire during the night, which had evidently been extinguished suddenly by pouring water upon it, as the coal was only partially consumed, and the mantel, &c., covered with ashes. In this story the murderers must have cleansed them selves. It appears in evidence that the Doctor was jealous of one of the male boarders, a Mr. John Eckel, whom he seems to have detected in secret with Mrs. Cunningham. On Tuesday night Mrs. Cunningham went with this man down into the basement, and told the servant girl to go to bed. She went. The next morn ing Mr. Eckel did not. etTcnr at the breakfast, though he usually did so. The knife found in the room where the murder was committed, is said to have belonged to him. Mrs. Cunning ham confessed, in her evidence, the sending the servant to bed, and also admitted that Eckel was with her. The minister who married her, could not identify Burdell as the man to whom the was married, and said that he supposed at she time that the person wore false whiskers. Burden's name was wrongly spelt in the certifi cate. It has been ascertained that on the morning when the murder was discovered, Mr. Eckel left the house at an early and unusual hour, and proceeded to his place of business. Mrs. Cunningham followed in a carriage, and he stood talking with her half an hour or more at the•carriage door,.opposite his factory. He was seen to give her a roll of bills. This transpir ed before breakfast. • The Deputy Coroner, in the course of his in yeallgation, found Mr. and Mrs. Stevens resid ing at %7 Mercer st., who wore intimate friends of Mr. Burden. Mrs. Stevens had been in 'the habit of visiting Dr. BuTdell for the purpose of having het teeth fixed, and for medical relief for two years or more. Dr. B. had frequently spoken to her of his.affairs, and remarked that Mrs. Cunningham desired to force him into a marriage. She also referred to Eckel, 'calling him Van Dolan. as having been frequently spoken of by the Doctor. Dr. Burden - has frequently ex pressed himself as being afraid to remain in the house at night. The Doctor had told Mr. Stevens that he 'feared fair hiq (Burden's) life, and had also spo ken of Mr. Eckel. alias Van Dolan. Eckel and SnodgrasS were held in custody by the Coroner until after the investigntion• of the case. Much testimony has been taken for the last eight days but as yet nothing has been elicited to fix the crime on any one, although suspicion points strongly at Mrs. Cunningham and Eckel. MACIIINS FOR CUTTING DOWN TREES.—There is on exhibition in the Mechanics' Exchange, Sun Iron Building, a working model of a machine for cutting down trees. It belongs to that claim of inventions which aro manifestly practical and useful, and convinces the observ er at a glance that inventive genius has achiev ed a great result ibam the simplest means. An iron frame is made to clasp the tree, and from this frame a chisel shaped knife is brought in contact with the trunk. By the turning of a wrench, the chisel is worked round and round the tree, cutting its way to the centre. The inventor claims for it an efficiency equal to the felling of a tree four feet in diameter in half an hour. As it cuts only a narrow groove, it saves a considerable pot tion of the butt of each tree. It will also cut so close to the ground as to leave no stump above the surface, while it prepares a square butt ready for the mill. It is the invention of Mr. C. G. Ehrsam, and is well worth the attention of persons interested in so valuable an instrumentality of " progress" in this country.—Bale. Paper. THE WINE CROP or• ITALY.—The harvest this season has proved much better than in five years before. The vine, which has alum St en •tirely failed since 1850, has yielded near half an ordinary crop. and the olive harvests are also much more abundant. A large proprietor. who used to produce 40,000 and 50,000 barrels of wine annually before the appearance of the malady, which is now apparently disappearing, and whose whole produce last yenr did not cx coed a dozen barrels, tells me that his vinyar , . s have this season yielded several thousand Linnbardy and Venice, which produced last , ear only 342,500 hectolitres (a hectolitre i• 281 gallons,) is estimated to have yielded Ali, sea, son over fotir millions of that measure:, is encouraging, .for the vine is to Ital *hat corn is to us. The vine is to the po r. who have little to eat and nothing else to•d , ink, the staff of life. —Newark Advertiser.' , CIRCUMNAVIGATING THE WORLD. —Senators Sewar;if_New York, and Rusk, o • 'yeses, will on the expiattibilritthe session, st • rt on a nine months' tour round the =lobe. T' ey will pass across the Isthmus by Witiffigtia, thence to the Sandwich Islands, (where Senator Seward will deliver an agricultural address.) thence to China, and, after passing 'through India and Asia Minor, Egypt, and possibly Southern Eu rope, will sail through the Straits of Gibraltcr to the United States, so as to attend Congress in the early part of next session. SPANislit Coms.—The New York Ilerald states that $5OO of Spanish coins—quarters, shillings and six- ponces —yielded..bv melting at the Mint, a sun in silver of . $479, in other words, that $5 of these coins yielded $4.79, a loss of only 2.15 per cent., while the standard at which the government proposes to take them for dues, in the law before Congress, is nt 20 per cent. discount. We see that some $7OOO worth of Spanish coins were shipped to•Cubn last week, in which market all the pieces with the pillars visible on them are worth par. 13:7•Recently in Cincinnati. where fuel fam ine has been rag*ng, one of the city officials was a man come it of an alley with a load of wood on his shot ders. Ile went up to him and charged him vial stealing it. The reply h tolcn it. Ikly children are freezing with cold. I have no wood and no money. The man from whom I am taking this has plenty of wood. When better times come, I will go and tell him what I have done and pay him. If you wish to put me in I will go to the station house with you without a word, but sir. for God's sake, Ice me take this wood home first !" NEWSPAPER COW ER LETS. —A writer in one of the Philadelphia papers says :—" I would state for the benefit of the puf , lic, at this cold season. that they may sleep much more comfortable. and with fewer bed clothes, by plaCing one or two thicknesses of paper (common newspapers will answer,) between the coverlets of their beds. This may appear rediculous to some, as It did to me when I first heard of it : but hav ing tried it, I can testify from experience that it fs an effeefive remedy for cold sleeping. If those who minister to .theAvants of the poor will give it a trial. I believWey will find it a valuable aid in relieving their sufferings." THE SNAKE CHAIM:B.—They have a man in California who is a marvel among snakes. The Alta California says : It is well worth while for our readers to look in and judgo for themselves of his omnipotent power over the fiercest and most venomous of reptiles. His handling of his " pets" as he styles them, cannot fail to convince the most skeptical that ho certainly possesses a wonder ful power over the serpent species, and the manner in which he treats the poisonous rep tiles shows that he is as fearless as the animals are timid. On yesterday, while witnessing his bold performance, we noticed that he placed in his bosom three rattlesnakes. Afterward he kissed themouths of the rattlesnakes, pinching them meanwhile, and by every means exciting them to resistance. But the subtle snakes would crawl up his face, and wind .themselves most affectionately around his neck, but make not the slightest offensive demonstration. [l:7•Since the invention of the new sewing machine it' has been proposed, as they are of much less expense than women, to abolish the latter, there being no further use for them. The affair has been referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, who are now engaged in deliberating its expediency. We understand from a private dispatch, that on the only serious objection brought against a favorable report is : " Where would we have been if such a law , had been passed in 1757 ?" LAGER BEER.—The Cincinnati Comniercial says there are seven first class and twenty-two second class Lager Beer breweries in that city. The first class establishments will average $150,000 each, and will each make this year 4 000 barrels of lager. The vaults of two es tablshments are from 300 to 400 feet in length, by 10 in width, and some of them are 33 feet under ground. These establishments employ 250 brewers, and as many more common hands. A good foreman gets a salary of $l,OOO per year and his house ; other brewers get $3O per month. • Gone.—Off the 26 members of the famous Hartford Convention, every one has passed to his grave. • THE L'EHIGH REGISTER, FEBRUARY 11, 1857:7. GYPSIES AND Fazan AIR.—A company of this strolling and strange people, consisting of from fifteen to twenty persons, large and small, have been encamped for some days in the neighbor hood of Columbia, until Monday morning last, when they came into town with their wagons and luggage, and took up lodgings at the Frank lin Ikuse. Mr. Erwin, of the Franklin Ikuse, assigned them very comfortable quarters in the basement story of his hotel, but when night came they said the place was to close and warm for them, and they repaired to their wagons to sleep. We should not apprehend+ they were much incommoded by heat out of doors on Mon day night, with the thermometer at 3 deg. above zero, especially those of them who were bare footed, as was the case w'ith several of the youngsters. The company it seems are in tol erable good circumstances, pecuniarily, as they have with• them thirteen valuable m porses.— York Star. THIRTY-FIVE TONS OF SILVER.—Think of it ye misereblo devils who have " nary red" to bless your names with !—Think of thirty-five tons of silver bullion passing through our city without a score, of people here knowing the fact, or it having the least effect upon the money market! Fifteen tons left for Philadelphia on Thurs*.skey morning, at 7t A. M., in three extra cars prollided for the purpose, the remainder having sin' e passed through . It is destined .fur the Ut d States Mint, and came from St. Louis, in cat . of the Adams Express Company. The total liPtAly of thirty-five tons is upwards of $1,800,004 but being in the form of bars, from eig,h)&eti 'inches to two feet long, is rather unlsrieldy . to pass current.—Pilisburg Post. (' WILL Or HENRY TURNER, TILE EQUESTRIAN. Mr. Turner was well known in this city as a circus rider. For seven or eight years he has been associated in business, principally travel ing on circus exibitions with Levi J. North. He died recently in this city. His estate is val ued at $70,000. Ile had brothers and sisters, but no immediate family. His will has been filed. He has devised the whole of his estate, after paying his debts, to his partner, Ilr. North.—Ncw York Sun. SINGULAR FREAK OF NATURE.-A child was born in this place last week, which had but one leg and one arm. The hand contains four well developed figgers—no thumb—and the foot but two toes. There arc no bones in the neck or head save a small part of the cranium. No eyes, mouth or nose is visible.—Somerset, Xy., Democrat. TonAccri. —The use of this article is increas ing in England and the prices advancing. Next to salt this article is becoming one of the most extensive and universal articles of consumption. The revenue derived from its importation into Great Britain, is nearly a dollar to each inhab itant. The consumption of tobacco in the United States is three and a half pounds per head ; in France one and a . half pounds, and in Great Britain one pound. [o' The death of the Hon. P. S. Brooks crea ted a great sensation in South Carolina. On the arrival of the news at Columbia, the mayor or dered the town bell to be tolled, and the exer cises at the South Carolina College were imme diately suspended. At Charleston, a large Pal metto tree; standing on one of the streets, was draped in mcurning, and the flags of the ship ping in port, and on the public buildings placed at half mast. A few days since, Mr. Jas. 11. Beadle, of 11unts ville, Alabama, culled on us and gave us permission to publish for the benefit of suffering humanity, the astonishing owe which hail been effected in the case of his wife by the use of Dr. Ilauce's 'Vegetable Epi leptic Pills, lie informed us, that at the .time his wife commenced using the medicine, her system was so entirely prostrated, by the number of spasms she bed undergone, ns to reduce her weight to 100 lbs.— Since she has been taking the pills, she has entirely got over the spasms and has gained in weight and bodily health. She now weighs at least 200 lbs., and declares .she is in better enjoyment of health than ever before in her life. Mr. Beadle also related the ease of Mr. Berri:ion Lightfoot, of the same town,. who has been entirely cured of the worst fOrm of Ep..• ilepsy by these pills. Mr. Lightfoot's case was so bad that he never passed a week without having an attack, often falling down in the street. Ile has not hail an attach for more then a year. Mr. Beadle thinks that if the pills ever fail in curing a case it is for the want of n proper perseverance on the part of the person in hiking them, es be feels assured from observation in the.ease of his wife, that if they are taken for a sufficient length of time, they will cure any case.
