HORSE RESENTMENT.

We seldom met with anything which so ex-
acly tailed with our own experience, as the
following passage from the new novel of "Laven-
gro," by Geo. Barrow
And it came to pass that, as was standing by
the door Of the baTack stable, one Of the grooms
came out to me, saying, ~ say, young gentleman,
wish you would give the cob breathing this
fine morning"
"Why do you wish me to mount him 7" said
l; "you know he is dangerous. ! saw him Ang
you off his back, only few days ago."
"Why, that's the very thing, master. I'd
rather see anybody on his back than myself; he
does not like mo but to them he does, he can
be as gentle as lamb"
"But suppose" said /, "that he should not
like me ?"
ave shall soon see that, MASTER" said the
groom "and if so be he shows temper,l will
be the first to tell you to get down. But there's
no fear of that; you have never angered or in.
suited him, and to such as you, say again, he'll
be as gentle as a lamb"
sand how came you to insult him." said I
"knowing his temper as you do"
"Merely through forgetfulness, master was
riding him about month ago, and having a
stick in my hand, struck him, thinking l was
on another horse, or rather thinking of nothing
at all. He has never forgiven me, though be-

THE BURDELL MURDER CAsE.-The trial of
Mrs Cunningham, indicted as a principal in
the murder of Dr. Burdell, was commenced in
New York on Monday week before Judge Da-
ves. The entire day and evening, until 9 P NJ,
was consumed iii obtaining a jury. Many of
the FIVE hundred who were empaneled were
absent, and many of those present had formed
IN opinion. Mrs Cunningham was present,
dressed in deep mourning, and accompanied by
her two daughters. Eckel was also in court,
and sat by the side of his counsel during the
day. The District Attorney opened the case
for the prosecution on Tuesday.
The trial was concluded on Saturday last;
and ended in the acquittal of Mrs. Ginning
ham. There was not the slightest evidence
which cast suspicion even upon her as parti-
cipant in the bloody deed. Eckel was dis
charged from custody upon nominal bail, upon
his own recognizance. He will probably not
be tried.

Terrible Confagration.

On Monday night last, little before ten
o'clock, our citizens were aroused by the cry OF
FIRE, for long time happily unheard in our
village, When first discovered the flames
were bursting through Ah-waga House barn,
q very large and well finished frame building
containing eight horses, one COW, and large
nuantity of hay, besides two omnibuses, q num-
Der of valuable wagons and carriages, har-
nesses, etc. As soon as the flames were dis
covered rush was made for the barn. and
the front door opened but the whole inside
was mass of flames, and it was utterly i'm
possible to rescue the horses, two of which
had been driven into the barn but few min
utes previously, and were hitched to the ON
nibus. In few moments the whole building
was enveloped in flames, and from its combus-
tible nature and the force of the wind, which
was then blowing a gale, few entertained any
hopes Of saving ally of the frame buildings
in its vicinity. The flames roared and surged
through the roof carrying the burning shingles
in every direction. Occasionally the flames
as if acted upon by a violent whirlwind, would
tower straight up, Illuminating the whole vii
lage, then instantly the column would be lash
ed down horizontally over the neighboring
roofs covering them with glowing Shingles and
burning embers. 1t was really the most terr,f-
ic sight we have seen SooI Charles Beers
Livery stable, from which the horses, wagons
and harnesses, etc, were with difficulty res
cued, and his dwelling house on Lake street,
Colds aud Rileys blacksmith shops and COnk-
Inns wagon shop, were in flames and all efforts
for their safety were unavailing. The elegant
residence Of Capt Ayers and the large barn
belonging to the Central House. were saved
by the greatest efforts. The Central House
itself was in the most imminent danger, and
had it not been for the combined eXertionS Of
a number Of active citizens, aided by a good
full cistern and long line of pals it would
not be now standing almost entirely uniniured
externally at least Isaac Halls boot and
shoe manufactory had narrow escape, as al
so Mr. Huntington's residence. A little shan
ty that stands off the street, between Mr
Beers residence aud the Messrs Lameranx's
saddlery was pulled down and by that means
checked the fire from progressing down the
east side of Lake street
Mr. Brower's loss must be 50 800 or So 900
on wh We learn he has $500 Insurance.
Mr.. Beers, and Mr.. Gould and Mr. Riley had
no insurance. The entire loss must amount
to between $4,000 and $1,000.
OF the eight horses DESTROYED in Mr. Brow
ers barn, five belonged to Mr. Brewer one to
James Wright, o'e to Mr.. Newell and one to
Benjamin Wilcox. Each was worth at least
$3.50
Mr. Beers lost in his barn 10 or II tons of
hay, and about 800 bushels of oats.
The origin of the fire is unknown The dri-
yer of the omnibus was in the barn not over
10 minutes before the fire was discovered
There was a fluid lamp burning in the omni-
bus. 1t may have exploded, or the stump of
a cigar may have been dropped There are
some suspicious of deliberate incendiarism-

NATIONAL HOTEL DIsEAsE-Mr Briggs, of
the National Hotel, has called and requested
Us to correct a statement in our article of Sa-
turday evening, touching the fatal disease
We cheerfuly do so. He says that no rats
were found in the tankS-that the one on the
ground-foor was made of granite, and the
other, on the roof, was closed by a spring door
The water was pumped from the lower to the
upper one, which he visited twice or three
times daily, and can vouch as to the impossi
blIty of rats getting into either.
The assertion made in distant papers that
the disease made its first appearance when Mr..
Buchanan came, Mr.. Briggs states to be un-
true. Cases as early, he thinks, as the 9Th of
January were noted. The hot weather of
February succeeding, the house was kept cool,
and no cases presented themselves. In March
the weather changed and it became necessary
to close windows and DOORS and light fires
which being done, the disease commenced with
the fury which has made it so lameLtably no

MAINE.-The legislature of Maine passed
two acts Of an important character previous to
its adjournment, besides resolutions condemn
ing the Dred Scott decision. One of these
acts provides that in case a fugitive slave is
arrested under the act of Congress in that
state the county attorney shall undertake his
defence and summon the necessary witnesses to
establish it. The second euacts that any slave
voluntarily brought into that state by his mas
ter, or with his knowledge and consent shall
thereby become free and if restrained of his
liberty, he may, on the writ of habeas corpus,
be discharged from such restraint and any at
tempt by any person to restrain such slave Of
his liberty, shall be punished by fine not ex-
ceeding one thousand dollars, or by imprison-
ment not exceeding one year.

SINGULAR FREAK OF A BIRD.-The Somer
set (Pa.,) Democrat says some time last fall,
a blackbird came to Mr.. Joseph Snyder's in
this borough, and has since lived contentedly
with the chickens 1t has thoroughly domesti-
Gated, and comes regularly for his food In
stead of roosting as chickens do, it takes a
position on the ROSTERS back, who bears the
weight of his little friend with great good ma
ture. But the most singular of all is this it
has learned to crow like q cock, and crows re.
gularly, more frequently than the rooster, and
seems to be vain of its accomplishment 1t
is a real bonn -fde crow, clear aud loud and
similar to that of a young rooster. The
bird can be seen and heard daily and if any
one donbts its truth, they can be convinced by
seeing and hearing for themselves. The age
is progressive, and the birds are keeping up
with the times.

HORRIBLE ACcIDENT-A man Salccd in tlco
The London &C. W Free press Of yesterday.
says that on Wednesday of last week, most
shocking accident occurred in circular saw-mill
at WalIsingham. Charles Harris, young
man lately married, had just been employed
that morning to work in the mill and was set
carrying away boards as they dropped from
the saw. He was cautioned against the dan
ger of letting a board touch the saw while in
motion, but the unfortunate man had taken
away but few boards when the end of one
he had just taken up swayed against the saw,
and being repeled with violence, caused the
