flower absorbs the malaria which arises chief
ly during the night, and thus effectually pre-
vents the deleterions influence that might
otherwise be exerted upon the human system.
If this is in reality preventative to that un-
welcomeand protracted malady, the expert
ment will cost but little to those exposed
thereto.
IMpRovEMENTs.-We learn that there is
now going up, at Ferrysburg, a large shop
for the purpose of making boilers, of all des-
criptions. Mr.. s. TURNBULL, of Detroit, we'll
known as as a superior workman, is the pro-
prietor, and will be prepared to make to Or
der boilers for propellers and steamers, mills,
&C., of any size or description. The conve-
nience Of shipping his work to points along
the Lake, or up the river, will be no small
inducement to call for the patronage Of those
needing this kind of work, and he is prepar-
ed to contract at as low rates as the best
shops at Detroit and Chicago can do.

Mrs. CUNNINGHAM's PROBABLE limo
cENoE.-As Mrs. Cunningham has been ac-
quilted, the following evidence of DR.. Uhl,
given on Thursday last, is interesting as indi-
eating the probability of her entire innocence
of the crime of meditating or participating
in the murder of DR.. Burdell:
The Doctors impression appears to be that
the wounds were inflicted by tall person,
having considerable amount of anatomical
knowledge. The situations in which blood
was found-in the Doctors room, on the
stairway hall, on the hall floor, on the base
ment hall floor, on the hinge side of the base
ment front door, and again on the door of the
main entrance-appeared to indicate that the
person who committed the deed had passed
out of the room, down the stairs to the main
floor; then turned and passed down into the
basement hall, tried to find the knob of the
front basement door, and failing had return
ed and passed ont of the main door into the
street. DR.. Carnochan called for the defence,
agreed with DR.. Uhl in all that pertaned to
the manner in which the deed was done. His
theory was the same.
One overhanging mystery around the mys-
ferrous case has been dissipatcd by the evil
dence of a chemist who resides at 25, Bond
street, who had for some time been making
experiments, in which he had used scraps of
wooden cloth and leather, and all of which he
had, on this particular night, collected togeth-
er and placed in stove in his laboratory.
This accounts for the 4" strange, peculiar odor,"
that polluted the air of Bond street on the
night of the 31st of January.
DR.. Catlin's testimony is of great moral
weight in reference to the question whether
Mrs. Cunningham herself could have perpe-
trated the act. All the medical gentlemen
examined, agree on the point that some of
the wounds inflicted, required great exertion
of physical force. This gentleman has been
Mrs. Cunningham's family physician for a
long time, and proves that for the last two or
three years she has been afflicted with rheu-
matism to such a degree as to weaken very
much the joints of her arms and hands, more
particularly the right.
HOME TRUTHS FROM THE "HoME JOUR-
NAL."-The following condensed opinion of
woman's rights" will remain true and in full
force long after the feminine misanthropists of
the day shall have been forgotten:
