Hark! dosen t that rotuu sing sweetly in the old elm?' Ami listening to the notes as they pulsed up and down through the green leave, I forgot all about the gossip with which I had been entertain ing my companion during the morning. I had not seen Cousin tienry W ard tor tour years, lie bad been in Caliwrnia during tuis time, and his return was an occasion or great re joicing to me. There were no ties beside those of kindred between us, tor Henry s Dlue-eve-l wite. Clara Hunter, had been the tenderly-beloved com panion of my girlhood. &he was now visiting her parents in the West, and, as business bad brought Dim to Jfew York after his return, he managed to run up to Woodfern for a couple of days. Cousin Henry was a little eccentric in his views and opinions. I am certain I never quarreled with any other man half so much as I have with him. I am certain I never loved two others as 11. His heart was a warm, generous true one : and his perceptions of character were remarkably acute.- So, from childhood we had quarreled. The next afternoon our neighbors made their advent. Mrs. Garrett was elegant, fascinating as ever; and I saw Cousin Henry, who, like most men of his temperament, highly appreciated grace and beauty, was much attracted by the lady's man ner. Perhaps her face was not regularly beautiful. but its brightness and vivacity more than atoned for this; and there was a grace, an ease, and elf-poession in every movement and manner, which impressed every one. V erv unlike this was her mend, Airs, fease. Her manners were not unlady-like, and ber con versation was pleasing and intelligent ; but her mould was very different from her friend's, who, perhaps, was not unaware of the marked contrast between them, for Mrs. Pease's figure was large, heavy, and inelegant. I do not believe she could have committed a graceful action ; and while Mrs. Garrett's taste in dress was exquisite, Mrs. Pease's sense of fitness of arrangement and harmony of color was remarkably obtuse. But just before tea, a circumstance occurred which materially affected our relative estimates of the ladies. Mrp. Winters, another of our neighbors called to see us. She was a pretty, rather characterless and, on the whole, well-meaning sort of a woman, who lived in a vary dashing style, and was very anxious to ignore her early life, which was ob scure. ltut then, we all have our weakness : and if Mrs. Winters lacked moral courage in this mab tar, most likely you and I do in some other, reader. 1 observed that our new guest seemed a little embarrassed when I presented her to the others. and partly divined the cause, when they spoke of oeing nauves oi uie same town. "louhave, however, altered much; I should hardly recognize you, Mrs. Winters," remarked Mrs. Garrett, in the course of their conversation. "But you know we used to meet almost every af ternoon, as you returned trom the factory and 1 from si hool." Her voice was very low and soft, but it seemed to me there was a little consciousness in the smile that curved the lips of the lady, while Mrs. Winter' face changed suddenly to crimson. as she stammered some incoherent reply. Mrs. Pease interrupted Jier suddenly.' and verv earnestly: M I, too, remember you, Mrs. Winters, Decause ot tnose delightful visits wa used to have together at your uncle, the Colonel's. You know he was the Hon of our town, and then my father thought so much of him." Mrs. Winters' face beamed with smiles as she turned it toward Mrs. Peaxe, but I doubt whether she felt so happy as that lady just then. well, 5aran," remarked Mrs. Garrett, while we were at supper "Lalwsvs thought vou hadn't the slightest leaven of art in your nature. But I really doubted it when you made that verv effec tive speech to Mrs. Winters. -win you, AnnieT well, 1 couidn t help reeling very sorry for her when vou alluded to her facto- ry life. She wishes to forget her antecedents and if we cannot respect her motive, we certainly should ber feelings." I don't agree with you, Sarah." The elegant lady was evidently- a little disturbed. "If people are so weak as to be ashamed of their antecedents, they should be exposed and mortified. I intend ed she should understand I knew iust who she was, and how she worked for several years m mv father's factory and married his foreman. And now, on account of the sudden fortune he has ac .. . ... quired, she presumes to take airs, and set herself on an eminence with those who always thought ber infinitely beneath them. It's - reallv ouite ridiculous." "But her manners are certainly refined. Annie. as much so a many a rich man's daughter." "Well, her father was a drunkard, and her mother a poor, shiftless creature. That remark of yours about the Colonel must have been ycrv ac ceptable, for I honestly believe he was the'only respectable relation Martha Winters ever had." borne occurrence, 1 forget what, nrevented nr reply to this ironical conclusion of Mrs. Garrett's. "And this is youriduaofa perfect lady oh, Hettie I" said my cousin, when we were alone that evening. "I shall never love Mrs. Garrett anv more." I answered, thumming desperately on the piano key. "Any woman who could - intentionally, Wantonly, injure the feelimrs of another, cannot be a lady" ... J iV " a . - ..a - " sou are nat, fJousin.

MRS. CUNNINGHAM AND THAT BABY. DR. CATLIN TURNS STATE'S EVI DENCE. 1 ' We gave in our last issue a brief account of the re-arrest of Mrs. Emma Augusta Cunningham on a charee of folonv m attempting to palm on a 3trango child a3 an hoir to tho estate of the late Dr. Harvey Burdell. The New York papers are filled with the particulars of this singular lease, from which we extract the following : Dr. Uhl has been in attendance, with Dr. Cat- lin, of Brooklyn, upon Mrs. Cunningham. Dr. Uhl had been "led to believe that Mrs. C. was soon to bear a child. She had presented all the exter nal appearance of one about to bo a mother as he expressed it, "growing larger and larger every week." But Dr. Uhl reru irkod about a mouth airo that as yet there was.no positive evidence of pregnancy, and told ner ; tnat under tno circum stances he thought it nis duty to mane a moaicai examination.) Mr. Cunningham appeared very reluctant, and put the matter off from time to time. Finally she told him plainly tbat she was not preenant at all : that she had" been playing a game, and be (Dr. Uhl) must neip nor out witn it. Dr. Uhl, previously to this time, had had confl . . . i , , , . . i i , i ... i dence in tne iaav, out mis ooiu proposition too him completely aback. He immediately consulted counsel, and upon legal advice stated the whole m-rtter to district Attorney uaii. sir. nan toia him it was his duty to carry out the matter in or dor to developea great crime, and supply the proof for tho criminal's conviction. Dr.: tfhl finally consented. He told Mr?. Cunningham that ho was acquaint' el with a California widow wiio was, he feared, about to be conilnH. and it would H- necessary to dispose of the child altogether, as the; lady was go ing on to join her husband in California. Mrs. Cunningham was delighted. - It was ar ranged that neither party was to know any thing of th" other. Thi' "widow"' was to be confined at a house in Elm street, and the infant to be taken thence to No. 31, Bond street. Mr.dlall then imparted the matter to Dr, De. la Montagnie, and engaged him to assist in the oounternlot, whenever the critical time should ar rive. Yesterday morning Dr. Dj la Montagnie wont to licllevue tlospiiiU, and, with tne consent of Governor D.dy, selected a Iabc of Elizabeth Anderson, a beautiful little blue-eyed girl, born on Saturday last. The mother kissed her babv, and consented to part with it on condition tnat' it should be well takeu care of and returned within twentv-finir hours Dr. Uhl visited Mrs. Cunningham, bv appoint m"nt, at half-past 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and told her he was prepared to carry out the thing at once ; that the Calilornia widow was about to be confined at No. 190 Elm street, and she must be prepared to receive the little stranger with proper ceremonies. Tnen sne said sne would be eonuned that night, if he would produce the child by 9 o' clock. He was to come over and let ber know at a quarter before 9 o'clock, and she would send a woman to bring the child in a basket. No time- was to be lost. Mr. Hall hired a room of a respectable lager beer seller at No. 190 Elm street, and immediately sent down suitable furni ture from his own house, including the basket for the baby. Dr. U hi took possession of the premi ses, and had hardly got possession when Mrs. C. was seen passing the bouse and eyeing it closely Policemen were judiciously posted, and every thing was arranged. The greatest difficulty was to procure an "after-birth." Dr.5 Montagnie im mediately posted toBllevue Hospital, and sue ceeded in getting what he wanted, as well as the assistance of an intelligent Irish girl, named Mary Kegan, who was to act as nurse to tho fictitious widow. A physician was also engaged to lie in oea wua a nigni cap on, una ao me groaning ior the "widow." lhis party arrived at 190 .him street just in season. Officer Wm. B. Walsh, of the Court of Sessions, was posted in the street opposite, and Inspectors Speight and Dilkes in Uond street. The physi cian who was to personate the "widow," assisted Dr. Montagnie in certain operations necessary to give the child the appearance ot a new-born-babe, and then went to bed. Some private marks were also made on the child's head with nitrate of silver. A messenger was then sent to 31 Bond street.' Shortly after Capt. Speight saw Mrs. Cunning ham leave ber house ; followed ber into a Fourth avenue car, where she was recognized by the con ductor and some passengers who spoke to Capt. Speight about her. She was disguised in a quasi nun's dress. The Captain followed her into Elm street, until she disappeared into the lager beer saloon. He then returned to his post. In a few mo ments Dr. Uhl came out and asked the officers op posite whether they had seen the woman. leave the House. She had passed out so quietly that they nad tailed to perceive ner. .- The officers next repaired to No. 31 Bond street, where thev learned that Mrs. Cunnino-ham had gone out, but had not returned, and that a man with a white hat had gone in. This was Doctor Catlin, of Brooklyn, who was assisting Mrs. C. in good faith. i ' . Dr. Montagnie at once went to the corner of Bowery and Bond streets, where he met Mrs. Cun ingham, in the nun's dress, with a large basket in her hands in which he had placed the baby. She went into her house. . 4 ' It had been arranged between ber and Dr. Uhl that she should send in urgent haste to his house. Accordingly he had appeared and went.; He soon came out and walked down the street The officers then went up, by the District Attor ney's directions, rung the bell and entered. They were met oy two women at the door, wno lnlorm- cd them that 31 rs. Cunningham was very sick and could not be seen. They found her in bod with tho baby by her side one of the "nurses" giving her warm drink from a dish over a lamp from time to time. Dr. Montagnie asked if that was Dr. Burdcll's baby. Mrs. Cunningham replied, "certainly, whose else can it bo?" The officers at length told her that she must be arrcstoq, that the game waplay ed out. She was apparently under the influence of opium, in order to create artificial paleness: One of tho nurses was taken to the station-house, and the other remained at 31 Bond street with Mrs. Cunning ham, in charge of the officers. ; ". On Wednesday Dr. Catlin turned State'9 evi dence and gave the following alfidavit Samuel H. Catlin. beins first duly affirmed, de-. poses and says : I am 33 years old, and a resident of Brooklyn, in JJo. 323 Court street : t arn a pny siciau bv profession : I am acquainted ' with the accused, Mrs. E- A. Cunningham, calling herself Burdell. and have been so for about six years ; L have been, for the years 1831, 1852, and 1853, very in tun ate witn ner lamny, ana was iw meuuau at tendant during that time: Mr. Cunningham de ceased about dune, 1854, as near as I now can re collect without referring to memoranda the fami ly soon after removed to .New xork, ana 1 ceased to attend it ; I thereafter saw Mrs. Cunningham but three times before she was arrested for the murder, or about tbat number of times ; after she ( Mrs. C.) was arrested. I saw her in the Tombs prison ; I saw her there about a dozen ' times on different occasions ; whilst in the prison she told me she was with child ; I have no recollection of a positive statement from ber that she was with child by the late Dr. Harvey Burdell, but that was my inference from her conversation ; X then firmly believed the fact was as she stated it : soon after ber acquittal I noticed that her appearance corresponded to the fact of her statement, and-1 , t - - - .... , rmiiwU to become her medical accoucUfr by her self, and I consented; about this time ?peking of the child with whieb she was pregnanthe said that Judge Dean had, told ber that if she had a child it would lie heir to the property, and she hoped it won Id live ; I i cannot, aiatp that I hare renienibranee of her ?aing it wa the ehild of Dr. Harvey Burdell in words to such an. eff.t ; a to the date of her pregnancy, she stated to me that she supposed, herself to be so soon after, she went up stairs to sleep in 31 B nd street ; she was not more explicit as to this, but as I knew the locality of rooms in the? house, she needed noLto bi more particular. On Monday, the 3rd August, Mr. Wilt called at my office between ' 7 and 8 o'clock. P. .At., and'said they were sick at 31 Bond St., and wanted her to come over; I made the aequaiii tanee of Mr. Wilt at 31 Bond St.; I went over alone shortlv afterwards to New, York city and arrived at 31 Bond street about half-past 9 o'clock i Georgina Cunningham Jet me in ; I then went up stairs into the front second story bod-room over the parlor ; I entered the room ; I saw her sister, i mm. u-, u ..."j, .... , ningham was on the.bed; Mrs. Barnes was mov ing around ; Mrs. Cunningham was unaressea ana in bed ; she said she was sick and suffering a great deal of pain; I examined her tongue and pulse, and was satisfied she had had "Cholera Morbus ;" I gave her an emetic ; I did not then see any child ; a few minutes later she vomited green bile ; I soon afterwards examined her person ; her abdo men was in a nearly natural state ; I saw she was not in any way 'with child and had not been ; the first I saw of the child, I saw it brought in by th- sifter, Mrs. Barnes" 1 mean aia medical fact that she was not with , child ; the child was dressed when I saw it flirt ; I saw the after-birth ; it was quite an old one ; I took bloody sheets from under Mrs. Cunningham : they had been wet with blood from a pail of blood, brought there by I know not who ; I heard Mrs. Cunningham remark about the c-nuu una H iiau aumuww iu l. ; 1 1 .t. . . . 1 1 It 111' .1 I. . .J color : (great laughter7 among ihe gents of tne quill ,) Mrs. Bell was brought iroogtit into tne room after the child was there to see it ; I think she said it was a very bright child ; if Mrs. Cunningham ftl" leges that any child-birth took place that night, up to the time I left and was arrested, it is un true ; during the evening I gave her about an ounce of paragoric, and just before leaving a dose of calomel. j In Dr. Uhl's affidavit the following reference is made to Dr. Catlin ; uer sister and Dr. Catlin were in the room ; the child was lying in one corner of the room. Mrs. Burdell pretended to have all the symptoms of severe labor, and after a few mo menta.

Up to last accounts iM"rs. Cunningham, who is, or feigns to be, quite ill at her residence in Bond Street, was strictly guarded by police officers, no one except her counsel being allowed to enter her room. MRS. CUNNINGHAM. : The following items are from a New York' paper of Thursday evening : The physicians, Drs. Barker and De "Wies, in company with Inspector Dilks and Justice Davison, called on Mrs. Cunningham in the morning, yes terday, to otter ner a personal examination, bhe had been closely watched through the night by the police, some of whom had been in her room con stantly, to prevent suicide on her part. She de clined to be examined.. , - It was ascertained yesterday that on Monday, when Dr. Uhl announced that the " Cal-. iibrnia Widow" was about being confined, Mrs. Cunningham at once made an inordinate meat of cucumbers, with, the - view of bringing on pains which should cause her to. present the appearance of a woman passing ' through the pains of child birth: - " The cucumbers had the lesi red effect", A violent cholera morbus resulted, and during Monday eve ning the pains were not simulated but real. From the New York Daily Times.. THE CROP PROSPECTS. During the past two months, a gentleman con nected with trhe agricultural department of the Times has made an extensive tour through the Western States, embracing a journey of some six thousand miles for the purpose of examining the condition Of agriculture, and especially the pros pects of the incoming harvest. From his letters, which have been published from time to time in our daily and weekly editions, we may form a pretty fair estimate of the real state of the crops. '.. ' THE WHEAT CROP, In New York State this crop will be about an average one, though this average will tall below that of a few years since, from the fact that in many places wheat raising has been in a measure given up during the past three years, owing to the extensive ravages of insects, especially the wheat " midge," or ' yellow gnat," as it is sometimes called. This is particularly the case in the .Wes tern counties, wnicb' formerly embraced the best wheat-growing region of the btate. On the whole, however, it is believed that the aggregate yield of good wheat gathered will be considerably above that of last year. In Ohio the yield will be much larger than last year. The midge has been far less destructive, and the weather has been very good for gathering the crop. Early in the Spring the appearances were untavorable, but the weather was such that the crop came forward beautifully nd at the time of our correspondent's observations, in the bitter part of June, ' the fields showed exceed ingly well, and we are advised that the fullest ex-, pectations of farmers have been realized. In the middle and south middle portions of Indiana, the almost universal opinion of farmers was. that ex cept in very wet, low binds," the crop would be larger than toy many years past, and the appearance of the fields just before harvest warranted this conclusion. In northern Indiana the winter wheat on open prarie binds was badly injured by winter kill, but the ground was nearly all re-sown in Spring wheat which has done very well. On the openings on binds partly sheltered by timber, the yield will be a moderate one. On woodland the crop was still better, though not quite as good as further south, nearly the same remarks appiy to Illinois as to Indiana, save tnat a larger por tion of the State is praire land, and except m the Sourthern part of the prairies, the winter crop was almost wholly killed out. But here tho spring wheat was largely re-sown, ooiuuu me grumiu at first sown with the winter varieties, and on much more ground in March and April. The crop has been better than - l.sual. Further South,nn that State, the yield of winter grain has ber-n large, ow ing both to its good quality and the birge surface sown, in towa me crop uorrepunas somewnat with Northern Illinois. rom Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee, we have very favorable renorts derived from several intelligent correspondent In Wisconsin our reporter lound about a medium crop : a large suriace( was sown, but many lields suffered from winter-kill, and looked "spotted."" The general opinion of farmers appeared to be that, with favorable, harvest weather, the yield would be considerably above that of List year. Michigan is about on a par with Wisconsin in re. spectto the wheat crop. Taking; the aggregate yield or both winter and spring wheat, in the States named above, we are probably safe in esti mating it at about one-sixth to one-fourth larger than tbat of last year. This we predict will be about the result when full returns of the gathered harvest ehall have been received. " What effect speculation, and the abundance of money in the country will have upon future prices, it may not K j .- . 1 . .. - 1 1 , , , . . w wc tu prouici, uut 11 is saraiy promote inat the rates of the past year will be maintained. .. - U TH COBJf CHOP. . . . ' The condition and prospects of this crop our re porter found about the same in the several States visited, save that those farthest north will be more likely to be cut off by early frosts. should there be such:; Nearly all parts of the Northern and Western States were about upon a par as respect the long-continued Sarins rains. As bite as July 10 there was .little observable dif- fcrence in the advancement of this crop in Ken- t i -, - !WiT OhlOt In liana and lM"".c.ls? If anything, the" differenee was Jri 'favor of the lat named Stales: ; In . every section, corn upon low or nioderately wet Tand55 was Very much stun ted. On higher grounds, Or those not' naturally wpt, the, crop sufl'ered less severely. The wnr;t feature has Keen that, owing to tno continuous rains during the latter part of "May and the fir.-t half of June, farmers were unable to. - "work " the corn fields thoroughly ; before the haying season. Hundreds of fields were observed in which weeds overtopped and choked the young corn plants. This was particularly the case in the older sec tions of Ohio. - On the newer prairie lands weeus afe less abundant, and less difficulty was experi enced from this cause. The rain ceased general ly by the 15th and 20th of June, and in many places several days earlier The warm weather succeeding hastened forward this crop very , rap idly, and as "July and 'August make the corn crop," and the first of these months has been unu sually propitious, there is little ground as yet for fearing a poor yield of corn if we do; not have unusually early Autumnal frosts. Taking into account the very large surface of prairie ground newly broken and planted this year for the flrsi time, as well as the increased number of acres planted in aim v?t alj sections, the prospect now is that thii corn . crop of 1 857 will largely exceed that of the previous year. This was tho opinion of the majority of intelligent farmers with whom our reporter conversed in the different States, es pecially during the month just closed. As early as July 10, in some portions of Michigan and Wisconsin, corn wai considered as. scarcely a jveek behind the average of several year s .f.ii' t. i i OATS AND BARLEY. J,- The crops are certainly in excess of any former year. Wherever the wheat crop ha been intic!h injured -hy insects, farmers have gone extensively into the culture of barley, and but few fields in poor cultivation were seen. Oats are coming in well also, and there is scarcely a doubt that there will be enough of both oats and barley to meet 1 tl.A wants nf the eonntrv. ...v . V 1 . , , ; .. . . .; ?v I ; , r ;. ". ... t v .- Little need be said of this crop, as It is univer sally Conceded that the yield has been unprece dented. It was especially noted by our reporter, that among the hundreds of persons conversed with on this topic, in all sections, he met not one who did not speak of an excellent yield of hay. The opinion was often expressed that there would not be cattle enough in the country to consume all the hay. that would be gathered. Grass continued growing to sedate a period that many fields were left .until after working the corn and gathering wheat, and there are many thousand r acres in the coun try "still unmown.- -Owing to the shortness of the haying season prior to the wheat harvest, and the scarcity of help, it would have been scarcely pos sible to gather a' moiety of the crop but for the general introduction of machinery, the horse rake; &c. - Many Western farmers expressed the opinion that beef would be high and scarce in the Eastern markets next winter, simply because tbey could not spare their'cattle, when there was so much forage to . be consumed ; while during the following spring, summer and fall, there would bean overstock: of beeves sent forward. This would certainly be the case if there should be an abundant corn ctop. i j . j; .POTATOES. , .-'.' In consequence of the partial disappearance of the "rot for a year or two past, and the high price of potatoes during winter and spring, farmers were stimulated to plant largely ; a scarcity of seed, and the spring rain., only prevented excessive plant ing. As it is, if the country is not affected with a return of the potato .disease this year, we have present reason, to look for an immense potato har vest. ; .The rot has already set in - in some locali ties where early potatoes are raised extensively, and there are rumors of its appearance in several parts of the country.' It was too early in the sea son for our repertcr to gather much concerning this crop, aside from an estimate of the compara tive amount of surface planted. ! - -r- . 1 .. " TRCIT. ; . f" Large numbers of peach trees were found to have been killed during the last winter, as well as the preceding one. . It is probable that there area less number of living peach trees now in the coun try than there were two years ago, notwithstand ing the great number of new orchards but. Wherever the trees have well withstood the wea ther and are now flourishing, they are fairly load ed with fruit, but the' general yield will not be very large, wo think. '( The apple crop promises moderately well. Few trees are heavily loaded with fruit, but most or chards throughout the country generally we bear ing somewhat, and from the larger size of the fruit on trees not heavily loaded,: it is probable, that in the aggregate we shall have a full average yield Many fine orchards in Ohio, and in a limited de gree elsewhere, were observed to be considerably injured by caterpillars and other insects. Some times whole orchards are so denuded of leaves as to present the appearance of having been swept over by 'fire. These ravages, however, though more extensive this year than formerly, are still confined to limited localities, and it is to be hoped that efficient efforts will be made to prevent" their further extension.! ; . '..-'.. On the whole, taking the entire country toge ther, and summing up the observations that have been made, and the reports we are daily receiving from the crops now nearly gathered, generally in good condition, with the present condition of those still growing, we may well congratulate ourselves upon favorable prospects for a year of plenty.
