The MURDER OF PATRICK CULBERr.-On Sun.
day night last, a very a'rocious deed, disgracetuI to
human nature, took place in n small GROCERY on l7th
street in this city, near Venable street; on which DC
casion one human being was ssvagely aud fatally
stabbed by a fellow man, both natives OF one coun'
try and adopted citizens Of the United States. The
use of the knife, in personal rencountres, is a rare oc-
currence in in Ireland, and may be considered as one
of the '.enlightened improvement which lrishinen
90 rapidly pick up in America. In this case the mur.
derer il. named Nathaniel Sunderland. aged about Al
years, a married man, and native OF the county Gar
low, Irsland. The murdered and butchsred being, a
single man. agyd about 81 Year,. and a cripple, was a
native of F-rmoy. 10 the county Cork. Ireland -
Both had been residents of the United States for many
years.
On Sunday last Sunderland twho is of a d~isripated.
sullen and british na;urel was on u sort OF a "spree."
He is u shoemaker by trade and very quArre!some,
as he has often been found amenable to the law Tor
i'll treating hs wife. He went into the store KEEP. by
.his friend" Pat Culberf, and spent a greater part o!
Sunday there. (Culbert kept Il shoenaking saop III
connection with his groggery Towards nishttni
some words arose between Sunderland and CuIbert
during which the latter acted in a pacific manner, a.
bodily he was not abb. 10 cope with such an able man
M Sunderland. The latter in hi passion destroyed
some property by breaking it, in Culbert's store
gilbert reasoned with him; after which y. retired 20
wards the door, called Colbert Ia the door aud there
stabbed him with ashoernaker's knife. Alter the de
ceased fell fatally wounded, The demonisc assailan'
continued to hack and cut him, ihticting y number Of
fearful gaahes, two or three of which were each Of b
fatal character.
The persons present on the first attack ran off from
the soeus. aud when SundeTiands reason showed hin
the bloudy work he had committed, HI tried 10 max
of. with his kniis in hand aud all the marks OF a mur
derer about him. Hs WAS pursued, arrested aud
lodged in Jail to await, first the verdict of the Coron-
er's jury and then the preliminary examinations ~
court.
The prisoner, on being brought before the Mayor
Yesterday, presented "a sullen appearance, win lea
lures denoting strong animal pas-iona, OF the deatruc

dock.

Young woman, brother aud sister Of Patrick Culbert
arrived in this city on d visit, and were shocked IL
hud their brother II mangled corpse. The scene or
their entering tn. Residences OF tntir un'ortuuh'e oro
thpr WAS heart reDding. Culbert was buried last
evening. Their. was no post porttm examination o
the BODY, az il seens the city surgeons refuse 10 MAKE
such nominations, under ;he existing rules lad down
Tor their remuneration. These mnttera should be
Looked into. The feeling on the night ui the murder
WAS very determined against Sunderland, and bin,s
we're thrown out that none but Judge Lynch should
give the guilty party hs deserts.
