The Curtain Lifted-—The Mystery Dispelled.
The New York Times of Wednesday says :
The Bond street drama npprnnrhea its close.—
Yesterday'a proceedings at the inquest substantial
ly fastened upon John J. Eckel and Mra. Cunning
ham t to guilt ut tho bloodiest Mild most awful mur
der that has stariled this city fur many years. Tho
parties, of course, will lie put upon their trial,—and
it is possible they may not, upon (lint full and final
examination, he convicted. But u primn facie case
has been fully made out against them. There
seems little reason to doubt that Eckel did the deni,
nnd he eftnnut be connected with it without impli
cating Mrs. Cunningham.
A remarkable feature of the case is that the wit
ness by whom thia consummation hint been reach
ed, ha* been entirely unknown and unheard ol un
til the last moment. An anonymous letter wm
rent to tho Coroner, yesterday, stating a rumor Hint
a Mr. Farrell was in Bond street on (he night of
the murder, nnd had ovidcnce to give of some im
port uice —but that he declined to come forward,
*• lest ho should he kept from his family and incon
venienced by appearing its a witness, us he is a
poor man." In view of the Coroner’s treatment of
witnesses it must he confessed he had some grounds
tor this apprehension.
Inconsequence of this communication, Mr. Far
rell waa summoned to attend, and testified that he
was passing through Bond strrrt ut about I 1
o’clock cm the night in question—that he sat down
on the steps of the house No. 31, and
seated when n man with u shawl
and entered tho house—that nn(
utc nnd u half elapsed before ho heari
murder, nnd then the fall of n heavy
that in half a n inute after that n man,
sleeves, with bushy hair, opened the d.
sked him what ho was doing tin
in the tnur.ler--or th it tho whole affair was delibe
rately and .systematically planned. How f-,r other
parties in the lomse were impliratod, it is impossi
ble to conjecture. Nothing lias yet bean shown to
connect them with this most shocking affair. But
it will be very difficult to convince tho public tltnt
no noise vvr\s heard by any of tho inmates on that
night. If Mrs. Cunningham personally had any
part in the murder, her daughters must have sworn
falsely when they testified that she did not leave
her had niter retiring that night. Of this, howev
er, there is uh yet nothing like positive proof.

Noxt day <
Lumpkin County.
Although many ot our citizens have gone to
California in search ol gold, we Ice I satisfied
in our own tnituls that they arc leaving as
fine fields for mineral wealth as that which
they arc endeavoring to find. We feel sat
isfied that Lumpkin county contains asmuch
mineral its the same area in California, nnd
all that i; necessary to prove this conclusive
ly is to have the sumo number ot operatives
whoso sole business i.s to .seare.lt out the
tn.NHuro. When persons go to Californio,
nine out of ten go for the purpose of dig
ging gold, with no other business in view ;
this being the case, no hill, mountain, or
cany an is bit untested, und the. corn •-
qiienoe is that valuable discoveries are con
stantly inado. Let this course bo pursued
in Lumpkin couhty, and our word for it,
that some tfiscovories as vnluuhlo r.s were
over made in California will be the result.
Hitherto our milters have only operated up
on the water courses, that should a discove
ry bo made, the same might b ^eonv ni-ut
tor working. Now we have n<> doubt but
that our hilts possess mines far more valtia- J
bio than nny river or branch deposits hither- I
to discovered, and all that i^ wanting lolhis J
development is tho proper kind of energy.
When lias any min'* in California yielded
better than the mine known as the Calhoun
mine, in this county, which is situated on a
largo hill remote from any water! None.
We recollect distinctly seeing five hundred
penny wights of gold panned out al a single
panful, Irom this vein. Let tho sanm num
ber ol men bo employed in sttarch oi gold
in Lumpkin county as in California, and ii
our county docs not bear the palm we shall
lie greatly mistaken.--Dahlonega .S’L«•;«?/.
Punctuation,-—A country schoolmaster
who found it rather difficult to make his I
pupils observe Iho difference in reading be- |
tween ii comma uml a full point, uffoj i tl n I
plan of his own which hu ilaltui ' I lunc-eli
would mako them proficients in iu at: ot
punctuation. Thus, in reading, when they;
came to d comma they were lo .• ty
and read on to a colon or it bcmie loti “f/rX,
tick," and when n full point, "lick, tirkji'k.”
Now it so happened that the worthy Dom
inie received a notice that tho pariah minis
ter was to nay a visit of examination to his
school, and as lie wa desirous that his pupils
should show to Ihe best advantage, he gave
them an extra drill the day bofore lit • exam
ination, “Now,” said hc, addressing his
pupils, when you road before tho mini-ter

. tile
ushered into Ihe school-room by the dominie,
who, with smiles and bows, hoped that the
training ol the scholars would meet his ap
proval. Now, it so happened that the first
boy railed up by the minister had been
absent Ihe preceding day, and in Ihe hurry,
the mastor had lorgottcn to give him ttist ruc
tions how to act. Tho minister asked tho
boy to read u chapter in the Old Testament,
which lie pointed out. The boy complied ,
and, in his best uccent, he began to read,
"A u I the Lord spake unto .Moses, saying,
tick. Speak unto the clildrcn of Israel, tick,
saying, lick, and thus shall thou sny unto
them, ti' k. tick, tick." This unfortunate .il
ly. i>i In* own style, acted like a shower-
bath on ilte pour dominie, while the minis
ter and In- friends ulinoff died ol laughter.
flow TO TAKE OUT THE SCENT.—Hitting oil
the piazza ul the (.\t turtle I, was a young, fop
pish-looking gentleman, his garments very
highly scented with a mingled oder of musk
and cologne. A solemn-farcd, old looking
man, after passing the dandy several times,
with a look of aversion which drew general
noiice, suddenly stopped,nnd in a confiden
tial tone, Sititl :
"Stranger. I know what’ll take that scent
out of your clothes ; you—”
"Whitt! what do you mean, sir V said tin
exquisite, fired with indignation, starting
from Itis chair.
"0, get mad, now—sweur, pilch round,
light -jti.st because a man wants to do you a
kindness !" coolly replied ihe stranger.-
"But I tell you I do know what’ll Ink" out
thiii smell—phew! You just bury your
clothes—bury ’em a day or two. L'nclo
Josh gol a foul of a skunk, und he—”
At this instant there went up from the
crowd a simultaneous roar ot merriment,
and Iho duudv very sensibly "clewed the.
coop” and rushed up stairs.
A Fooit Rule that won’t Work moth
Ways.—A countryman once wont into an
Ordinury’s office and enquired if that was
"lit*' place where pcoplu git licenses to git
married.” Upon being au-wored in the af
firmative, he said he’d "take one.” Alter
"taking one,” he enquired tho m ice. I hu
ubtiffinff official said : "Well, tho legal fee
i.s one dollar and lilty-six cents, but gmile-
m il ifnwrally nice whatever they please."--
"Wal.” says the countryman, "llial’s kind
ov you," at the same lime throwing down a
i/unrtir. That ordinary was "sold."
A Chinese Oatii.—A "Celestial,” rejoic
ing in the name of Apple, hud a Tartar,
nuined Afl'or, up in the Now York Police
Court on Friday, on a charge of robbery.—
Tho Chinese witnesses testified after, the
manner prescribed by their religion. Tak
ing a piece of yellow tin per, the witness tra
ced upon ii certain Chinese characters, and
then setting fire to it, kneeled beloro the
flames and repeated the words of tho oath
while it burned.

the tipper story window ol a small grocery,
