MOST HORRID MURDER.

We mentioned last week the sudden and unac-
rountb'e disappearance of Mr. Suydnm, the Prcsi-
dent of the mechanics Bank Mt New Brunswick,
N.Y. The mystery has been solved: eleven days

leave the shadow of a doubt that no came 10 his
death by of the most fendsh murders chat ev or
stain ed the annals Of crime Tho circumstances
connected with the affair are briefly these
Some time since, Mr. Suydam soil to one Peter
Rohinson carpenter, who has resided in New
brunswick for some ten twelve wears. an who
has heretofore borne respectable character, lot
of ground on a bond and mortgage for $3.50. lie
also advanced him some money TO build house.
about the At inst he Withdrew from the Bank a
note for $75 which he held aganst Robinson say.

81 inst at about Q o'clock in tho morning, no left
his homo, saying that he going to the Bank;
SINCE which time, until within few days, his fate
has remained unknown.
On Sunday last, len days after Slr Suydam's dis
appearance, Peter Robinson met Mr. Edmonds of
New Brunswick, and told him that he mad paid
the mortgage on the house and lot, but that he was
AFRAID to get his hond cancelled lest .hey should
suppose he had murdered Mr. Suydam. This
struck Mr. Edmonds as being very strange, since,
only few days beGnre Robinson had asked cred
II Tor some lumber which he had bought of him.
'N monday evening he called upon Robinson, and
Questioned hun very closely about the money with

and his head had deep wound on the back, and
two large cuts across the top.
The intelligence Immediately conveyed to
the office where the prisoner was under exnmina
non, who heard 1t without moving muscle.
Tho examination has since be en- continued, and
the evidence elected leaves little doubt of the p,ls
oner's guilt. The note which Mr. Suydam drew
from the Bank has been found in Robinsons pos
session and his younger brother testifes that he OF
fered him fifty dollars within few days If he
would set his house fire, as he did not like to
sleep in It. Another brother, from his preVasca'
ting testimony, is suspected of being accessory to
the act. The prisoner is found, also, to have sold,
under an assumed name, gold watch which be
Ionged to the deceased There is much more evi
dence, which we have mot space to give, but which
fxes the guilt upon Robinson beyond reasonable
doubt.
The opinion is prevalent at New Brunswick that
Robinson had accompices and that it their in
! tention to entrap and murder n Mr. Cheeseman, TO
whom Robinson was indebted, and who was re.
quested to call the house on the same day. but
was accidentally prevented. The suspicion was
strengthened by the fact that another hole was
found in the cellar similar to that in which Mr. Say
dam bured.--Nc,o Yorker.

me last Autumn. that the colts were better
than their mares had ever brought from any
other horse.
Ihave added below a part of Col. Single
toms certificate, which will show the value
set upon the Crusader branch of the Archie
family where they are best known.
Sir Archie, on all hands, is acknowledged
to be the best, and deservedly the most popu-
lar horse in America, and fully on a par with
any one in England. Anvil was fully equal
as a racer, to any of his day, and in him
were united the very best English and for
eign crosses: and Eclipse has no equal in "a
cling annals, whether they ran for heels, or
ran for bottom. am aware, that some OF
the American Turf Register writers attempt
to decry his stock. 1t is a pity gentlemen
will detract from his reputation, without ex-
animation. He distanced at pleasure every
competitor; "no horse could live by his side
fifty rods" He was familiar with the Bea-
con course, and was more than master OF IL
stones weight. But it is said. Bedford never
won a race, nor could have won 4 race
Suppose the fact were so, he came of FAIRY,
one of the best daughters of the IHvincible
Highfyer. She won many good races and
De I many SOOU TdCctS. diIfoiS ouicls Ihuy
Teazle. But he did win a race Of 800 gum
cas- while in possession of his breeder, Lord
Grosvenor, who then sold him. He alter
wards won ESQ and was sold and brought to
Virginia by Col. Hoomes at five, and some
say, four years old-and who was his sire
the renowned Dungann"n, a horse fully
equal to Pot-8-os, the two best sons of Eclipse,
and who were rather superior to any other
horse of their day, both Of them renowned
on the Beacon course. And who were Bed
ford's descendants! / beg you to remember
Gallitin, Cupbearer, Shylock, Eclus, DUNCAN
non, &c.-you have not forgotten FAIRY,
Lottery, Nancy Air, Percy, Eliza, &C.
Some Of you have heard OF Caroline. a neat
little mare, for years at the head Of the Nash
vile course. and not long since. Wild Bill,
who flies like an arrow, and Piano. Little
Venus and Trifle, are game to the bone
Now, sir, Diomed always excepted, what
other imported horse, since 1890, can show
such an array Of racers. Citizen is placed
before Bedford. acknowledge the worth o,
that game little horse. His dam was Bed
ford's grandam, and who will believe for a
moment, that Highfyer, and Dungannon have
deteriorated the breed. And Gabriel and
Spread Eagle and Chance have been placed
before Bedford. They were good, acknow-
ledge. Bring to remembrance their most
distinguished get, decide fairly, and Bedford
loses nothing by the comparison, he rises in
evitably in public estimation.
