MRS. CUNNINGHAM-BURDELL.- New
York Evening Post, through long affidav-
It's made by two Of its reporters, substan-
tlates its recent charges against the notorious
Mrs Cunningham. By the advice of the edi-
tor, MIR. Hills, a reporter, was induced to ex-
anime the nature of the Matrimonial Traps in
New York. He did his work thoroughly, and
while pursuing it he was introduced to Mrs
cunningham as very agreeable widow. He
knew her well, and managed to have three in
teryiews. AT the third one she proposed to
make punch for him to cure his cold, and
she was anxious that he should meet her at a
private room, which was declined. From the
circumstances, he judged that she wished to
rob him. and he was twice forcibly detained
when he tried to leave the house, outside of
which he had taken the precaution to station
Mr. Marsh, another reporter, who testifies that
he, knowing her, saw Mrs Cunningham 90
into the house, and followed her, when she left
it to go to a house in White street, toward
West Broadway. The identification of the
woman was complete, and it is quite evident
that she is continuing the games at which she
is an adept.
Prior to the trial of Mrs. Cunningham for
the murder of DIR. Harvey Burdell the District
Attorney had a keen detective engaged in
seeking her history. 1t was very voluminous,
and disclosed a life that caused the prosecuting
officer to use that powerfully vituperatiye
speech with which he opened the case OF
course he could not tell what he knew, as it
could not be introduced as testimony, but re-
markable history Of the woman is in existence
AS from the evidence now brought forward it
is apparent that the woman has still the same
activity that has characterized her through
life, it is reasonable to believe that she will
continue till she is at last overtal1en in some
shame that will close her eventful life. The
affidavits in the Evening Post show her to be
the same desperate and avaricious woman that
she was represented to be at the time of her
trial

CIVIL COURT, MARCH TERM-In the new

1t was a suit in which the plaintiff sued for
$1,903 81, principal and interest'on note for

delivered conditionallg, and that the condition
was not fulfilled. Foster for. plaintiff, Devens
& Hoar for defendant.
In the other Court House, before Judge San
ger, the case of Seth L. Allen vs. Enoch Leon
ard which has occupied the time of the Court

DESTRUCTIVE CoNFLAGRATIoN.-Ea on
Thursday morning, between three and four
o'clock, the most disastrous confagration oc-
Cured in Southbridge that has ever visited
that section of the County. The fire is sup
posed to have originated in the chimney of Mr..
Phelps, jeweler in the hotel building of Mr..
E. M. Turner, destroying the hotel, stable, and
adjoining buildings, including forty-two horses,
which were burned to death, together with
harnesses, coaches and carriages, belonging to
Mr.. Turner. The large brick block adjoining
the hotel, and owned and occupied by John
Edwards & Co., was badly damaged, and the
goods were much injured by fire and water.
Their gas house was wholly destroyed H. N.
Simpsons saloon and Browns barber shop
were also burned to the ground.
Mr.. Turner, who is the heaviest sufferer by
the fire, estimates his loss at $4,000, on which
there is $1,000 insurance in the Quincy,
Hampden, and Mechanics offices. He was
proprietor of the Charlton and Webster stage
line, and owned twenty-eight of the horses
which were burned.
1He JeWeHy slore III lne Hotel puiIulIlS pe-
longed to Mr.. Liberty Phelps, whose loss is
covered by insurance in the Merchants and
Farmers Office, of this city. The loss of Mr..
Simpson on store and stock is about $2500,
and is insured for S1700. The losses of the
other sufferers have not been ascertained. The
whole amount of the loss is variously estimat-
ed from $4,000 to $4,000.
Among the horses destroyed was one valued
at $1,000, and very valuable span belonging
in Fitchburg. Mr.. Spur Of this city lost
three horses. Mr.. Ransom of Norwich lost a
pedder's wagon and three horses. The 9TH
ers belonged chiefly to strangers and boarders
at the hotel. Very little of the furniture in the
hotel was saved.

The NEW POSTMASTER GENERAL.-The
New York Times, in speaking of the appoint
ment of Mr.. Holt says:
1t was intimated Immediately upon the
death of Mr.. Brown, that this appointment
would be made but the rumor was discredited
by the fact that no sufficient partisan motive
could be discerned for making it. The presi-
dent has falsified his own unfortunate IT puta-
ton, and deserves all the credit which can at
tach to an inconsistency so honorable and SO
unexpected.
MIR. Holt comes into an office at a moment
extremely propitious for man of abilities and
of honesty, who really wishes to earn good
name with his countrymen by fairly admins
tering one of the most important and most
dilapidated branches of the public service.
We cordially hope that he ill avail himself
of the golden opportunity, and do his share
towards redeeming the present Government
from the gulf of disgrace and failure towards
which it has been so steadily driven.
Worcester daily spy., 1859-03-11

RAILROAD AccIDENT.-About two o'clock
Wednesday afternoon the draw-bridge of the
Boston and Lowell Railroad over Charles riv-
er was opened to allow schooner to pass.
While the draw was open, an empty train
consisting of two passenger cars, one baggage
and a milk car, approached the draw, backing
from the car-house. Attached to the train was
the locomotive, and in advance was the milk
car The only persons on board the train
were brakeman named Woods, and Nahum
III. Wright, who was seated in the milk car.
From some cause not at present ascertained,
the engineer failed to observe the open draw
in season to prevent the milk car from going
overheard When the train broke through the
gate, Wright sprang from his seat, and leaped
through side door on to the bridge. The
whistle was blown and the brakes applied in
vain. The milk car bounded across the gap at
the instant that boat from the schooner, con-
tanning man named Sullivan, was passing
through. His critical position was observed
by Parmenter, the draw tender, who cried out
to him to jump overheard, which he did, and
thereby-though getting thorough drench-
ing-saved his life, for the car in its descent
crushed the boat and sank it. Woods, the
brakeman, was on the platform between the
two cars in advance, and escaped unhurt.

A GREAT Corn CRoP.-About five miles
below Chillicothe, Ohio there is tract of
high river-bottom land, known as the "Clay-
pool Farm" now owned by the widow of
James Davis. The corn crop of 1858 was
gathered and stored in the usual manner, in
rail pens along the banks of the Scotia 1t is
rough way of cribbing corn, but very good
one, and cheap. No expensive method could
be adopted to store such crops as grow upon
some of the great corn farms of the West,
such as the one above named, from which we
are told that 5000 bushels of corn were sold a
few days ago to Emmets distillery at Chilli
cothe, at Is cents bushel This is very
high price for that great corn-g growing region,
and the quantity appears large to small farm
ers, but not so much as it would if we had
never seen these rail-pen cribs of corn along
the Western river banks, from half mile to a
whole mile long.-lMadiSon Courier

FURs.-The Hartford Press says that five
thousand skunk skins have been sold in that
city during the last and present seasons. The
prices vary from fifty to sixty-seven cents,

EDUCATIONAL MEETING.-The meeting of
the friends of Education, at the City Hail. last
evening, was well attended, and the exercises
were of the most interesting character. Hon.
Isaac Davis, upon taking the chair, made a
few predatory remarks on the responsibility
and the dignity of the teachers office, and the
important rank which physical education
should hold in her wide and varied range of
duties. He announced the subject of discus
sion to be Physical Education, in its appiica-
ton to the public schools"
Rev. Mr.. Richardson spoke of the marked
physical debility which characterized us as a
race, of the slow decay of our muscular vigor,
and the loss of that lively play of the faculties,
and spontaneous rush of the affections which
belongs to healthful and vigorous manhood and
womanhood. 1t was the great and monstrous
sin of our educational system-this neglecting
all the most essential means of physical devel-
opment and growth. He earnestly advocated
the establishment, in connection with every
school, means of amusement, recreation, and
exercise, for both sexes, and strongly de-
nounced the practice of offering prizes for ex-
ceIlence, especially in the younger schools, as
tending to stimulate the very scholars who
should be restrained, and whose nervous sys-
TENS needed the most tender care.
He was followed by DIR. j. H. Martyr, who
spoke at length and with animation, of the
great evils resulting from negligence of the
laws of life and health.
Mr.. T. X. Earle made some practical and
well-timed suggestions relative to the ventila-
ton of school houses, contending that good air
was of the first necessity, without which all
our boasted exercise and recreation would be
of little avail.
An address from Rev. Mr.. Richardson closed
the exercises of the evening. His subjectwas,
Education as related to the welfare of States,"
which he treated with that force of statement
and felicity of illustration which is peculiar to
him, and in a manner which afforded much
pleasure to the whole audience.
Another meeting is to be held at an early
day, when the subject of the discussion WILDE
resumed.

ed thirty-two public acts and fifteen joint reso-
lutions. The private acts for the relief of in

The SIcKLEs CAsE.-The Washington
correspondent of the New York Tribune of
yesterday says
Mrs. Sickles is detained here, because her
knowledge of the events which led to the late
tragedy, may be necessary as a guide to the
counsel for the defense during the approach
ing investigation. She still expresses the
warmest affection for her husband, and the
deepest penitence for her conduct, but feels
that there is deep gulf between them, which
neither can pass in the future.
Some of the most eminent counsel of New
York have rendered their services to Mr..
Sickles for his defence, but he has declined
them, preferring to retain Mr.. Stanton of Lam
caster as his chief adviser. The Grand Jury
is composed Of the most respectable and fair
minded men in the District and no fears are
expressed of an exhibition of partiality on
their mart

The NEW REPRESENTATIVES, HALL.--The
new House Of Representatives in some respects
is admirably constructed. Beautiful ante
rooms and other rare conveniences have been
provided. But the area is too great. The
members are so separated from each other, and
the Speaker is at so great distance, that it is
often difficult to hear him, and sometimes no
less difficult for the Speaker to catch the words
addressed to him. In view of these facts, the
House yesterday adopted resolution to re-
move all the desks so that in the next Con-
gress the somewhat singular spectacle will be
presented Of the members huddled up near the
Speakers chair, without desks, leaving large
outside space useful only for echoes. Mr..
Richard Golden, who was admitted to the floor
yesterday, expressed great surprise at what he
called the extravagant area Of the hail. and
warmly advocated the removal of the desks
and his argument evidently operated upon the
judgment of the House, Washington Cores
p0nden (March 4) Of the Philadelphia Press.

ASH WEDNESDAY IN New YoRK.-The GER
emonies appropriate to the celebration of Ash
Wednesday were generally observed by the
Episcopal and Catholic churches of the city,
and the attendance was large. AT Trinity
Church, Row DR. 0gilhy preached n sermon
from Mark, Sth chapter and Seth verse: "For
what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the
whole world and lose his own soul 2" In all
the Roman Catholic churches masses were
performed during the forenoon, and vespers
ance was very general and devout.

CHELSEA BEAcH-The sea.shore is, proba-
bly,, great Standby" in the winter to all
birds and quadrupeds which do not hibernate.
The storm waves cast upon the beaches great
clans, muscles, and other mollusca, besides
dead fish-to eat which, foxes, crows, owls,
eagles, &c, come long distances. When the
creeks and rivers are frozen over tight and
strong, foxes come, moonshiny nights, from
70 to 30 miles inland, across lots and rivers to
the sea-shore, and range along the beaches, to
CLEAN from the tide.wrecks something to stow
away under their jackets. Then they trot
home again, and arrive before the sleepy farm
ers have kindled their fires and fed their cattle.
Eagles are often seen from the heights Of NAL
den, vending their way, in the afternoon, from
the beach northerly and northwesterly, as far
as good spy-glass can trace them, towards
New Hampshire, where they probably belong.
When they take n late supper, and are heavy,
they roost on some solitary pine on the heights
about SWANS Pond, instead of going to their
eyrie in New Hampshire. Charlestown Awoa.
