NEw YoRK, Feb. 2.--Yesterdav morning
DR.. Harvey Burdell, dentist, who resided
at 81 Bond street, was found dead in his
room, by his errand boy, who went to make
a fire. Ii was presumed that his death was
the result of the bursting Of bloodvessel,
as marks Of blood were on the door, which
he had evidently endeavored to open. On a
subsequent examination, fifteen stabs were
found, and marks Of strangulation. There
were also several pools Of blood about the
floor. When discovered, the body was cold
and stiff, and he had probably been dead sew
eral hours. There were no signs Of suffer-
ing. The murder is very mysterious one,
and nothing was elected by the Coroner's
inquest to give any clue to the murder.

one Of Mrs. Cunningham's boarders Of whom
DR.. b. was jealous. Eekel and Snodgrass,
another of Mrs. C's boardcrs, are in custody
as also is Mrs. c. awaiting the result of the

with four legs--two behind and two before

his body, that nature has furnished with
which 10 drive away the dies. His head is
situated on the other end, opposite the tail,
and is used principally to fasten a bride to
him by, and 10 pat into a basket 10 eat oats
with. Horses are very useful animals and
people couldn't get along very well without
them-'specially truekmen and omnibus dri-
yers, who don't seem half grateful enough

very convenient gift, specially where there

great variety Of hurses--fnst horses
clothes horses -horse mackerel-saw horses
and horse flies horse chestnut and horse ra-
dish. The clothes horse is n very quiet ami
NAL to have around the house, and is never
known to kick, though very apt to make "a
row when il is capsizea. The same may be
said Of the saw horse, which will stand with
out tying.
The horse ay is vicious beast and very
annoying III the summer time when a fellow
