The Burdell Murder.

A glance at the New York papers for
the last few days, affords a striking illus
tratian of the morbid taste for the ex-
citing aud horrible, which pervades the
Inhabitants of that great city. The
Herald, Tribune and Times, of Thurs
day, for instance, have each three whole
pages Oh the subject, giving the whole
affair even to the minutest details, the
proceedings of the Coroner's Inquest,
examination of witnesses, sc, ~ucrb,ttim,-
also the funeral ceremonies. the text, the
hymn sung upon the occasion entire, the
names and position Of all pail bearers, a
full sketch of DR.. Burdell's life, &c
Diagrams appeared in each of them the
morning after the murder, giving the
location OF the rooms in BurdelFs house,
the position aud appearance of the body
when found. and every article of furni-
ture in the room, with the relative 70
sition of the rooms OF the other inmates
of the house. Every circumstance con-
ueeIed with his acquaintance and past
relations with Mrs. Cunningham and the
other occupants of the house, are detail
cd with the minutcst particularity.--
Flaming displayed advertisements are
scattered through their columns, an
nouncing, "Ambrotypes taken just be
fore the murder" the only correct
Portrait of DR.. Harvey Burdell," aud
so on.
The popular taste and morality of a
community has indeed sunk to a low
ebh, which imposes upon public journals
the necessity of paradiug to the world
such a mass of sickening and horrible
details, and draws around the murdered
victim a flock of human c%arrion with
whom the sanctity of death is swallowed
up in the unhallowed cupidity which
gloats and fattens upon a morbid and
depraved public curiosity.--Cm Gaz.

Smelling Book No. 2.

This d~ocument--Ihe result of the
sharp olfactories of the joint investiga.
ting committee upon Public Institutions
and Public Buildings-has just been
printed and laid before the members OF
the two Houses. We have not yet had
time to examine it, 50 as to speak of the
disclosures" which it pretends to make.
If this committee have not been less par
tial in their labors than the committee
on Public Works, we imagine no great
excitement will follow their report, as
the people will naturally in this case as
we'll as the other, wait to hear the other
side. From the organization and pro-
ccedure of these committees, it is already
strongly suspected that the object is
rather to make out q case, than to 60
Justice. These suspicious, too, appear
to be gaining ground and and obtaining
expression wherever the matter is at all
fairly considered. The Columbus cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Times, in
his letter of last Friday, says:
PUBLIC WoRKs.-I erred yesterday
in speaking of Col. Blair's bill respect
ing the Public Works. It was intro
duced to. day, and is designed TO repudi-
ate the contracts made by the late Board.
Appropos of this subject. AS it is COM
ing up in a definite shape, I propose to
"go in" for the purpose of showing up
of its weak points. The report of
the "Smelling" Committee is extremely
unfait. 1t seems to have prepared pur-
posely to meet n case. The Committee
are all clever gentlemen, but they seem
to regard themselves as prosecutors are
not impartial investigators. A casual
reader of their report is impressed with
the belief that the c ntracts were all let
to the highest bidder, the highest bids
appearing in the report. Some very
evidence is also said to have
been left out, very much to the preju-
dice of the Board and the contractors.
Ii has likewise leaked put that one
reason for the earnestness of the Com
in pushing this affair to the con
of reputation, is the fact. that
one at least, hopes to make capital for
the succession of the Board. But l will

Shocking Tragedy in Sylvania
MURDER MOST FOUL AND UNNATURAL!

A Woman Murdered and her body
Burned-.Arrest and Examination
of her Husband, the supposed Mar
der-He is committed TO jail.
On the evening of the third instant,
Mrs. Ward, the wife of Return J. NJ
Ward, in Sylvania disappeared in a very
mysterious manner. The ensuing morn
ing, her husband visited Mr.. Aliens
grocery, in the village, aud informed
him that he and his wife were going
away, and desired Mr.. Allen to tell
those who might wish to see him that
he had left the place. On the Thurs
day following, Ward again visited the
grocery, and had another conversation
with Mr.. Allen. He this time said that
his wife had left him again, lshe had
once, in consequence, as it was believed,
of ill treatment left him for a brief
period) Allen asked him. "When did
she leave ?" Ward replied. Con Tues
d,y night last. She took the cars here,
saving that she wasgoing to California"
Ward made this statement to a number
of the citizens, and it was SO much at
variance with his previous statement at
Aliens, that suspicious of foul play we're
Immediately excited. These suspicious
were furthered by other circumstances,
and it was determined that the affair
should be thoroughly sifted. Ward was
arrested and examined before Mr.. JUS
tice Clark. 1t was proven at the ex-
animation that Wards last statement at
Aliens wal untrue, but the evidence was
not sufficient to warrant the Justice In
him. Some of the citizens,
however, were by no means satisfied of
Wards innocence, and they determined
to still more thoroughly -endeavor to
solve the singular affair. They thorough.

to abuse this privilege. But happily
for the existence of our free institutions,

Another Horrible Murder.

1t will be Sc n by the article below,
from the Toledo Commercial, that r
j. NJ. Ward, who some years since lived
ia this place, then in Plapktown, and
more recently in Plymouth, this county,
has been arrested in Sylvania, Lucas Co,
| o. for the murder Of his wife, auG burning
of her remains to escape detection. 1t
will be remem bered. too, that this same
Ward was strongly susi ec:ed of the
murder of Hall, merchant of Plank.
tom. six or seven years since. Mr..
Hall boarded at his (Ward's) tavern,
and slept in his store. AS near as we can
recolect, the murder was supposed to
have been committed between niue and
ten o'clock at night, by some one calling
for coffee or sugar, and while in the act
of weighing, was knocked down with ali
axe handle or other bludgeon, and after
making sure of his victim, dr.; gged him
a few yards behind the counter-all his
money was taken, supposed to be abou.
$500, which he had collected to renew
his stock. The next morning, his store
not being open at the usual time, this
Ward was the first to suggest that some
thing must be wrong, aud the door be-
ing forced open. he was found as above
stated. Suspicion fell upon two men
living a few miles from Planktown, one
named McGarvy. the other Myers, who
were imprisoned in our county Jail; but
little or no proof being found against
them they were discharged. Ward,
while following his business ~(tailoriug)
bore the character of a desperate man ;
having nearly killed a boy in Mansfield,
with a stone prepared for use, for some
trivial ause. Suspicion strongly rested
upon him as being the murderer of Hall
but if the murderer, escaped detection.
His wife shortly after became insane,
and while in the State Asylum or Coun-
ty I%nfrmary, be married a woman of bad
character in Shelby, who died some
months after; aud the next we hear OF
him is his marrying a oman in Adrian,
Michigan, possessed of some means,
whom be ill-treated on various occasions,
and is now in the Toledo Jail charged
with her murder. under circumstances
that cannot fail to fasten the guilt upon
this monster i'll human shape.

H We used to hear something about
carrying the war into Africa" Now
it is Africa that is carrying the war into
Caucasus. The free white laborers o.
Ohio will be compelled to marshal their
forces and prepare themselves to repel
the invasion.
Garry out the idea of the Black Re-
publicans-Cwe mean those about Ober-
lin, because they are black as tar]-carry
out, we say, the schemes of these men,
by the abolition of all legal distinctions
between the races-and what would be
the effect?
You offer a standing bounty to the
vagabond blacks of ~neighboring States.
Ohio will thenceforward be their para
disc. Situated as we are upon the bor-
ders of Slave States, anxious to rid them
selves of that character of population,
our State would swarm with negroes.
They must be clothed and fed. To do
this, they must either steal or rob, fill
our Poor Houses, or crowd our mechanic
shops and our farms, where they would
degrade and depreciate white labor.
The white mechanics and laborers of
Ohio do not want such aid or COMPETE
ton. They are competent to do their
W labor and their own voting.
The selfish and misery capitalist and
monopolist, takes a different view, and
has other aims. He would be glad to
see the very labor, which was the source
of his W wealth, deprecated aud de-
graded, in order that the distinction be-
tween him and the producing classes
might be as broad as possible. This is
n of the main-spriDgs of this recent
phikantATopic movement in behalf of
oppressed AfricaI

E The citizens. of Madison, Wis,
were greatly alarmed the other evening
by the discovery that a hungry, half
starved wolf was prowling about the
streets of that city, /" seeking whom to
devour." Nobody was hurt, though many
were badly frightened.
E The health of Mrs. Pierce, il is
stated, continues SO much affected that
it is thought unadvisable for her to un-
der take any journey either to the
North or South, until the settled wealth.
er of the late spring shall have arrived.
In view of her condition, Mr.. Buchanan
has invited General Pierce to make the
White House his residence as long as he
shall desire to remain in the city, and
it is said that the invitation has been
accepted
& A Mr.. Doolittle, of Story coun
~, poisoned some wolves by means of a
strychnine bait. In carrying a wolf
home that had just died from the effects
of the poison, he was so affected by its
subtle fumes, as they escaped from the
dead body, as to be Frustrated when he
reached home. The effect was so power
full as to make his situation critical.
