There ia hardly any movement in political, social or business circles. People read the re ports of the Cunningham trial, because they bare been in the habit of reading ev ery thing they could pick up about Dr. Burdell. The prosecution opened with a most snrags and needless phillipic by Mr. Hall, impressing upon the jury the duty incumbent upon them of paying no regard to the prisononer at the bar. The examin ation of witnesses on the port of tht prose cution has been conducted with great inef ficiency. Her able counsel, an 1 carefully sififtd jury, will probably succeed in clear ing Mrs. Cunningham Coroner Conway has been on the stand, but does not show to great advantage as a witness. "Clolh; cd in a little brief authority," he is a sight well worthy of beholding. Trade has been Very quiet, with the ex ception of a little excitement about tea, which has gone up a peg through the ma neuvering! of speculators. The' market for China goods is controlled almost entire ly by a few large houses, whd hold im mense stocks which their large Capital en ables then! to retain until they can fix their own pricei The red and yellow China silks which we used for sleeve linings have also risen; as well as the white Pongees which are printed irilo Gandntfiia handker chiefs in this countrjr. Prices have, how ever, reacbed a higher point than the;' can longsnssain. The drj goods trade has been very quiet, though some merchants are here from New York State and New England. We hate passed through the dangerous season, the first to fourth of May. at which dates many notes become due without any heavy failures. 'Boston has oeen less fortunate. A great deal of tearing down and Upbuil ding is going on now. Columbia College, one of the old landmarks,, is only wailing long enough to have its daguerreotype ta ken, and then, down it must come. The buildings have been standing at the foot of Park Place for over 80 years. The origi rial institution was called King's College. Alexander Hamilton and Dewitt Clinton received their education at Columbia. The whole concern is ! to be moved into some of the unexplored regions on the up per part of Manhattan Island where a mag nificent building will be erected,' at a cost of not less than $500,000. The place -of the old college is to be suppl ed by a row of magnificent marble fronts, erected for drj goods jobbing houses. V MISCELLANY. HORRIBLE DISCLOSURES-DEAD BODIES EXHUMED AND BURNED. We learn that great excitement has prevailed in the, neighboring village of Concord during the past week, caused by the discovery that several children, who died recently, had been disinterred and their bodies removed. There are a hundred rumors in circu lation about the affair. After compar ing the j conflicting stories together, we make out. the following statement of the case. i , . . . - .-. A quack doctor known by the name of Nugent, applied to a man. to assist him in taking up a child that had been buried a few days before. The man made the request known, ,and intima ted that two little girls . daughters of a very respectable gentleman -residing in the vicinity, had been removed from their graves by this man Nugent for the purpose of extracting, medicinal properties from their flesh and bones. Ttt ascertain the truth of the ronton the .father had the graves re-opened, and found the comns and bodies missing. ui course tnis created a great sensa tion, aod we are informed that it was determined to inflict summary plinish ment upon Nugent ; but on Visiting his house he was found very- sick and in a dying condition. One report says that he took poison after learning that his operations were known to the public and another, that he diet! Irom a dis ease contracted from frequent handling of decomposed oodles. , , . Nugent died on Wednesday last. He made a statement before death, to the enect that he had exhumed about sixteen dead bodies in Concord and elsewhere, and after using them (for makinsr medicine 1 he burned the flesh. comns and everything, to prevent detec tion. . His ash pile was examined, and teeth and bones found therein. His theory appears to have been that a medicincould be made by boiling the liver of a human being, that would cure liver complaint and so with regard to other diseases. We learn that Nugent was from Forsythe county, and had been living in Concord about two years He once lived in this town, we are in formed, engaged in selling peppermint aud cinnamon drops. Beiore he died he gave the names of three or four of his accomplices, one of whom, a white man named Bogus, was arrested in this place last week and commuted to jail. What the lellow did with the medi cine he has been making, no one knows. We heard some one say he had agen cies lu Salisbury and Goldsboro , where one or nioreofhis accomplices reside. Those persons who are iu the habit of buying and swallotfing every kind of nostrum offered to tHem for the cure of diseases internally afhd externally, will take a hint from theabove. Charlotte Democrat. REMARKABLE ACCIDENT. The Bloominsrton (III.) Flae says that ateiy.a very remarkable accident oc- occurred on the farm of. Mr. William C. Warlow, of that county. While Mr. John Baker was harrowing in a field, his two horses took fright and ran off, the harrow soon got thrown" npon its back, with the teeth up, and horses became en tangled in the harness in such a manner as to cause them both to fall on top of tne harrow, the teeth ol which pene trated m their vitals and killed them almost instantly. We doubt very much whether there is another similar circum stance on record. WINES ! WINES! ! WINES ! ! !
