MufEs
Exhibition Of Scholars,


The first exhibition of the scholars OF the above
in Sixteenth street. nesr Fifth avenue. The attend
ance was large and highly select. Dr. Blumenthal,
the President OF the institution. commenced the
proceedings by the delivery of an address
which was Of a very Interesting character. After
welcoming the friends OF the Institution the
learned Doctor went to speak OF the system
pursued. He said the mmicry peculiar to deaf
mutes is made available 10 teach them to initiate the
various movements OF the ps the tongue and the
mouth. Teacher and pupil together practise with
mirror before them, and the child initiates the
motions and thus joins the labials and con-
child feel upon the teachers throat or chest, and
the hard consonants, such as % X, by the
impression OF the forcibe breath upon the
pupils hand and the observation OF the motions
are combined and sylables and words formed. Pic
tora Illustrations follow, and the child Is made to
say what he sees on the picture
At the conclusion OF the address, five young chill
oren OF abous SIX years OF age, four OF them boys
and the other girl, were brought forward aud their
tutor commenced speaking to them. AS fast as the
words were formed by the mouth OF the teacher the
children pronounced them, and afterwards
older children, two OF its number being con-
genital mutes, were then brought forward
ana put through course OF reading and writ
ing from the teachers lips These elder children
were also examined IN geography history and
arithmetic, and gave answers that would be credit
10 many classes In schools where the pupils are
blessed with both speech and hearing. The exhibit
tlon throughout was both interesting and wonder
fui and considerable interest was evlnced by the
audience.
At the close Of the exhibition Judges Daily and
Cardozo made some pleasant remarks endorsing the
system taught in the Institution.

The cofoner's Investigation the circumstances
oil the murder OF Warren Blanchard, in Binghamton
about week since, Is still continued the facts of
the case being ELECTED but slowly. AS we briefly
mentioned at the tiIne the body Of Blanchard was
discovered on Sunday evening OF last week lying
on the moor OF his own house, in that cty
and investigation showed that his death had
been the result OF pistol shot wound IN a
vital part About the hour OF the supposed murder
the woman, Kitty Very, who passed as the wife Of
Blanchard, was seen by the neighbors TO leave the
house In company with man, supposed TO be James
DE Witt, an old lover, and when the body was dis
covered the house was uninhabted. This woina n ,
who claims to have been married TO Blanchard, al.
though her parents had never heard OF such mar.
rage, was arrested ut a hotel in Binghamton a day
or two after, and has been repeatedly examined
before the cor0ners Jury. No Information has
been eicited from her which VIII tend to
throw any light on the mystery, but the tes-
tiinonv OF many persons who knew the parties
tends strongly TO crlminate the woman as an acces-
sorry, n not tho actual murderer. She has been
heard repeatedly to threaten him, and the life they
nave led since their pretended marriage has been u
stormy one. De Witt, her supposed paramount IL
aso I'm pllcated very strongly IN the matter and the
WeHm0ny daiy becomes more damaging to him.
