New York City has again become the scene
of most intense excite neut, in consequence of
the murder Of DR.. Burdcll, in his own house,
on the night of the Seth uIt. The city papers
are filled with the testimony taken before the
Coroner, but nothing has been brought out to
fasten conviction upon any one. Strong suspi-
cion rests upon a Mrs Cunningham, who occu-
pies portion of the Doctors house, and John J..
Eckel, one Of Mrs C.'s boarders. A difficulty
appears to have existed between Mrs Cunning
ham and DR.. Burdell, in which Eckel was some
what otiicious. The testimony shows tolerable
clearly that Eckel in October, in disguise pass
ed himself off as DR.. BurdeIl and in that char
acter was privately married to Mrs Cunning
ham, the latter requesting the officiating cler-
gyman to keep the marriage a secret. If the
parties are the real murderers this fraudulent
marriage was probably for the purpose of ena-
bling Mrs. c. to claim share of the Doctors
property, which is estimated at over 100000
There Is certainly a mystery about the whole
affair which requires more sagacity than ap-
pears to be possessed by the officiating Coroner
to unravel It. DR.. Burdell was stabbed in if
teen places, nearly either OF which it is thought
would have been fatal

caslons of late, denied that any portion Of the
Democratic party We're in favor of Slavery, and
We believe in one article, challenged any one to
point to a single Buchanan Democrat in Wis

extension. In most cases the Editor of the Pot
riot Is shrewd and observing: but in this par
ticular he has evidently been "wooled" out Of
his usually acute vision. Why, friend Carpen-
ter, even in Mineral Point, where democracy )
considered as pure as the nectar that inspires
the sachems Of old Tammanv, we have Blu

cry TO be right, but argue that it is the natur
al condition Of the blacks, and a blessing ia
their race. linen who would gladly Iecalize Al
rican slavery in Wisconsin, if they had the pow
er TO do SO. We recollect Pump made SINH
lar statement in his speech in this place last
fall, and somewho cheered him at the time. after

fifty miles from land, and found that he

heaving over fish lines they become en-
tangled in wreck matter at about tour faith

found adhering to the hooks appeared to
be portions of rigging. 1t will be remem-
bered that the steamship Arctic sunk in

ANOTHER SUICIDE REsUsCITATED BY
FLoGGING.-In New York, several days
ago, Patrick McIntire undertook to des-
troy his life by taking laudanum, and was
conveyed by the police to station house,
where physician attended, but gave up
the case as hopeless. The police, howev-
er, were not satisfied, and sent for another
physician. The latter stripped the patient,
and with a leather belt fogged him until
the blood came. With the blood also
came the patients senses; and strange to
say by this novel treatment he was COM
pletelY restored.
