From the New York papers ei Saturday.
Mrs. Cunningham still remains at No. 81 Bond

PLACES HKR Trust IN GOD.
After Mrs. Cunningham had made her ar
angements with DIR. Uhl to produce bogus
,aby, after she had made confident Of him or
Ill her plans, and hopes, she ironically remark
ID one evening, that far in ail her previous
rials she had placed confidence in God, and thus
Jar he had brought her safely and triumphan,ly
through; and that her confidence in him for the
future was unabated.'
rms NOISE AND CONFUSION os BOND STREET.
There was q cock and bull story in the Post
last evening, abonnt the haunted house in Bond
street. 1t said that the people residing in the
immediate vicinity OF No. 81 complained that
''their sseep has been disturbed their business
injured, and their property deprecated in vsi-
ue, by Mrs. Canninghamfs presence and COM
duct.n That for some time past Mrs. Cunning
ham ehas constantly had several women In her
house; that she would sit in the front paror, in
company with one or more OF ,heia, with the
blinds aud windows open; and thus exposed to
the gaze OF the over curious public, would talk
to them in the most violent and boisteIous
manner, gestieulating and performing various
fantastic feats, laughing in triumph, shaking
her fists, &e.h That the strange woman's "pre.
sence had deprecated property in the vicinity
OF her resi.lenye to an incredible extent. Sew
eral good houses we're tenantess in couse-
qucnee. and those which were rented brought
much less than heretofore
The auFucrty for this terrible story was -
Dentist OF the street-it sounds like the story
OF bear very ANXIOUS to buy up property at
n.ts Tu.. N4l
in its details: "The performances at Mrs. C.'s
house, wien none ut men were there, al mid
night and past. were OF most boIsterous kind,
and generally held in the very room where the
fearful tragedy was enacted. There they would
dance, shout, sing, halloo, jump. laugh aud clap
their hands. One Of their favorite amuse ments
was said 10 be the game Of ball, which was al
most always played in the room where the MUIR
der was committed. Often while these revels
were in progress, low people would gather
about, shouting 'ha, the murderers. Bring out
the woman that killed DIR. Burdel!' Sc, indulg.
ing their prejudice in the broadest accusation
and the most obscene epithets"
of course NIL supernatural part Of this story ID
dsbelieved by sensible people.
WHAT wouLD HAVE BECOME or THE RApYT
tits supposed that ii she had been only per
mitted to enjoy the imaginary success Of her
| plot for twelve hours, the baby would not have
been particularly long lived, she would have
exhibited it to a sufficient number OF witnesse,
aud then have quietly disposed of it As heil
to the baby all the property would then have
recarred to her. As il was, the poor little thing
had a narrow escape OF its life; notwithstanding
the completeness of the arrangements, for
| when it was being taken from her she squeezed
il to her breast so afectionately that If tw,
officers had not taken hold of her arms tn,
Burdell heir would have been killed with kind
ness. In that event nice question would hav
arisen, whether the District Attorney and tn
other counterplotters had not been accessorie
o the chiids death, and we're not exposed b
an indictment for inianticide. As il IL, ho~
ever, Miss Elizabeth Anne Anderson tior tina
il the chld's name) Is safe and snug in the ms
ternal bosom.
HER CONFIDENCE IN FAVORABLE DECISION.
Whatever doubts others may have entertaiI
ed as to her likelihood OF having the Surrogate
decision in her favor, she herself appeared I
have entertained none. She was sanguiae |

affirmed. She had even gone TO the expense ,
