Mrs. Cunningham Bowled Out:

The n. Y. Times of the 25 inst states as fol.
lows:
The Surrogate yesterday decided that Emma
Augusta Cunningham is not the widow of Harvey
BUUdell, ana directed the ssIe of letters of admin
lstration to Dr. Burdells next kin. The Surrogate
says he has not been left in doubt as to tho Justice
of the decision.
The following are, in brief the reasons for the de-
cisiun:
l. The marriage was clandestine-and there is no
presumption in favor of secret marriage, neither
preceded nor followed by cohabitation
= The clergyman selected was unknown to the
parties.
5. The place appointed distant from the dece-
cedeuts residence.
4, The only witness chosen to be present WAS one
of the daughters of the claimant
>. The witness is contradctad by her own state
ments, made under oath at different times and by
other evidence
b. The certificate OF the marriage affords no evid-
ence of Identification.
7. The certificate is incorrect as to the name of the
deCedcnt, and evncss ignorance or error as to the
place of his nativity.
g. There were suspicious circumstances attending
the transaction.
.. The marriage was not confded by the claimant
10 any member of her family save one.
~. There no private or public act or ac1now.
Judgement, no cOhabitation, but the alleged parties
lived as single persons.
ii. On the part OF the claimant there were confid.
entail relations with another person, N respect 10
whom the decede1t charged improper Intimacy
- The terms of the settlement Of the suits allae
ged to have led to the marriage, in writing and
exclude the assertion of other terms.
ID. The marriage took place after the settlement
had been concluded and carried out.
II. The claimant executed written instruments to
the deccdeut IN her own name, after the marriage
She assigned judgement, he drew a check to the
order She indorsed it and he swore TO the affidavit
i'll I'LL which she was described by her own name
Is, At the settlement she stipulated for now lease
of the house.
Is, Shortly before the decedent's death she re-
leased all causes of action and abandoned her agree
mcut for lease.
Il. He spoke of her with contumcly and reproach
and made repeated declarations against mar
riage.
Is. He was determined to compel her to leave the
promises, and new lease to another party was
about to be executed.
-. The marriage was first announced after his
death.
Mrs. Cunningham bore with fortitude the announ.
ment that the Surrogate had decided against her
claims to be the widow of Harvey Burdell, and SO
entitled TO a third of DIR. Burdes estate She saws
she prepared to suffer any injustice expected
it, indeed. She says she will contest the matter to
the last

The State Treasury,

The Nominee for State Treasurer, on the Bar
stow ticket, MIR. Carl Habich so far as We
know, is competent enough to discharge the du.
ties of an Office, with which, by this time, he
ought to be familiar. But there is a grave OBJ.
lection TO his being put in charge of the Treasu
ry. AS our readers no doubt remember. Mr.
Jansen, the predecessor of the presen: Treas.
urer, is defaulter to the State to the amount al
hiHyfre thousand dollars, or upwards. Du.
ring the greater part of the time that Mr.. Jams.
sen was Treasurer, Mr.. Habich was clerk In
this capacity, he could hardly have failed to
know that the Treasury was being robbed and as
faithful officer, he should have called the atten
ton of the proper authorities to the subject. II
he did know the defaeaton, and kept the knowl.
edge to himself. he is unworthy of the Office 70,
which the Barstow men have nominated him =
If, on the other hand, he was ignorant of the
condition Of affairs, it argues certainly a grea,
iack Of the qualifications essential in a vigilanl
and trustworthy Treasurer. Upon either sup
position, Habich is clearly not the man for Treas
nrer.-Hu. Sentinel

this Institution. This week we call attention

Gated is pleasant country town, of any attrac

but an hours ride from this city. The facili

are also good But we presume the most Of lis
pupils will be drawn from the neghboring sur

The Trustees have purchased for the benefit
of the Institute, some 80 acres of land desrably
situated in the outskirts of the village. After
selecting the most eligible portion of this for the

The Missouri Election.

The official figures elect Stewart, regular dem
ocrat by 334 majority. On the subject, the St.
Louis Democrat says:
To-day we give publication to what are put
forth from the City of Jefferson as the official re-
turns of the late gubenatorial election. If we
had any doubts before of the gross and glazing
frauds which have been practiced in regard to
the making up of the returns, ever since eighty
counties were heard from, we have none now.
The cheat is patent on the face of them, and we
have entire confidence that it will be made 50
clear before the meeting of the General Assembly
by scrutiny thorough and vigilant, of the poll
books IN each couaty, as to invalidate the as
sumption that Stewart has been elected. Cor
rectly and truthfnly he has been defeated by
near seven hundred votes officially he is return
ed with 334 majority. We shall, however take
another occasion to show the specific instances
of foul play from De Kab county down to Rip
ley and Reynolds counties it will remain for
the public to right such high-handed wrong,
and atfix the stigma where itjustly belongs.
The Democrat claims substantial victory

it the soul in sleep.-sHELLEY.
Immortal Poet there have been visions Of
that glorious realm in thy Observation-Disclosures OF
forms that were pictured in thy heart whose
memory was dearer to thee than the frail links
that bound thee to lite
And they left thee to slumber dreamless in
the dark, cold grave; else how could such
thoughts echo from thy soul! Those, only those
whose hearts have bled can speak in sympathy
of tears; of death.
And thou hast found the "loved and LOST in
that "remoter world" where they tell US there
are no tears, and the heart knows not of separa-
ton
How sweet to walk in dreams through the
spirit land of bygone years''-to meet with the
departed though but short season-to forget
that the sunlight will awake to shine upon their
graves. To wander through the labarynth OF
years to childhood hours, and echo through the
consecrated fields the merry laugh of those un.
clouded days-to stroll again along the strand OF
that fair lake whose deep, blue waters was our
ideal,-to Gull along its messy banks those tiny
precious flowers and shells.
Bright shadows though you are but dreams
l viii fold youisway in memory's casket as some
Of lifes brightest treasures.
