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.

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.

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.

was a man come it of an alley with a load of
wood on his shot ders. Ile went up to him

the Philadelphia papers says :—" I would state

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

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. •

Hartford Convention, every one has passed to

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.—

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

taken for a sufficient length of time, they will cure

TRE undersigned hove on hand now at their Store,
No. 25 West Hamilton street, the Patent Flexible
Band lint, lately patented by B. Morris & Co., of
Philadelphia. This improvement consists of a com
bination of principles to render the Silk Hat Band
after a alight wear, as soft and pleasant to the head
ns n soft Hat, without injury to its durability; this
has long been a great desideratum with the trade.
The Flexible Bond" combines tho softness of the
Felt Hat, with the beauty and' dressy appearance of
the silk lint, and from its yielding nature, readily
conforms to the shape of the head, thus avoiding in a
very great measure the trouble and inconvenience of
conforming and shaping, us the principle of the
