The murder Of DR.. Burdc in New York, is
exciting great deal Of attention. The re-
ports of the proceedings before the Coroner
~ columns on columns of the papers. The
circumstances appear to be, that DR.. Bnrtcll

coming acquainted with Mrs. Cunningham.

known to have quarrclcd in one instance in
consequence of her having false keys for the
room he occupied and for his desk and having
used them to abstract important papers, which,
however, he compelled her to restore In the

TO use mcllacng language respecting DR.. Bur
dell. Dr. iiurdcl was found murdered in his
Office, having apparently been first seized with
a rope round his neck for the purpose OF
stabbed. EckcI was proved to have left the
house on the morning on which the murder
was committed, much earlier thar usual and
Mrs. Cunningham to have been seen in con
vcrSation with him at his place of business,
and receiving from Him roll of bills. Arti-
clcs with blood upon them were found in her
bureau and in other parts of the house. One
OF the witnesses sworc to Mrs. Cunnngham's
being OF Infamous character, and to his belief
tllnt she had murdered her late husband These
points are strongly enough snbstantiated to
raise n weighty presumption that the murder
Of DR.. Bnrdcll was connected and perpctratcd
between her and Eckcl though as yet it can
scarcely be said to he convincing.
On being arrested Mrs. Cunningham gave
her name AS Burdell and said she could Prove
She had been married to the murdered man, in
support of which she produced certificate of
marriage. The minister by whom it was ccle.
brated could not identify the deceased as the
party whom he had married to he. The thco-
~ is, that Eckc had been dressed mp to repre-
sent Dr. Bnrdel and the marriage celebrated
with him, in the latter's name; that the plan
was to strange him with rope and leave him
hanging in his Office, so that it might appear
ne had committed suicide, and the mnrderrrs
'njoy his property through the rights which
he pretended marriage would give her. This
MS evidently desperate resistance alone is pre-.
'nmcl to have frustrated. In support Of the
disgusting of Eckel, it is alleged that he was
seen with Mrs. Cunningham, engaged in pur-
'hasng n wig.

The tottering of the power of England in India
does not call forth much sympathy from the French,
if may judge by an article which we find in the
Paris Union, wherein it said:
All conectures with regard to the probable con-
sequence of events in British India are superfsous,
for one result has already manifested itseIf-the tot
tering of the power of England. Now, we ask, can
England after her policy Of the last century, pire
to single expression of sympathy from Europe?
For the last hundred years England has devoted her
energies to shaking and overthrowing States. That
is her system, for her strength grows on the weak
ness of others. Europe owes to England the greater
proportion of her troubles revolts revolutions,
and changes of dynasty: Why. therefore, should
Europe pity the crumbiing fortunes of England?
France, in particular if she is not forgetfu to
say jealous-coud find more than one motive to re-
ioice over the sight the anticipation of her de-
cline. The violent passage of England
across the nations of Asia will not, however, have
been an useless accident. 1t beyound the range
of possibility that England could preserve indefinite
ly the vast empire of India. As for England herself
it will doubtless not be avery great evil for the
world if she is compelled to conine herself to home
matters, and to trouble no longer the remaining
states by the revots she foments, or by the inso-
lence of her contempt"

ANOTHER GREAT CARE EFFECTED BY BGRHAvE's HoL-
LAND BITTERs.-The wife of PETER De Witte, living
in Holland Town, Sheboygan countr, Wisconsin,
suffered much from Weakness of the Stomach and
Indigestion. She had been under physicians care
for some time, but the disease seemed to battle even
his skill. She purchased some Holland Bitters at
our office, which has given tone to her stomach her
appetite and strength are returning, and we firmly
believe that this is another great cure effected BY
your medicine.
We have still to record many wonderful cures eff.
fected by this remedy, but must wait another oppor
tunity. One thing you can rely upon, that we have
published are from persons much respected in our
community, and are literally true.

more than others, but still, all affected.
While DR.. Marshall is doctoring the most
diseased of these SeUeH he does not neglect the least a
