The Cincinnati Commercial of the IA inst.
gives the details of a case of burning in that
city: About 10 o'clock, last night, a shock
ing accident occurred at the residence OF
H. Hirschberg, ESQ.,, No. 4l2 West Court
street. Miss Julia Sunfield, a girl sixteen
years of age, niece of Mr.. Hirschberg, went
up stairs with two small children to prepare
them for bed. She carried with her a lighted
candle. and, after lighting the gas in the bath
room, placed the candle on the floor, and
was in the act of passing to another room,
when her dress caught fire. In a moment
more she was enveloped In flames. She
then ran down stairs and out into the street,
her piercing cries attracting the attention OF
the entire neighborhood. man named
j. w. Pfaff, seeing her frightful condition,
was the first to go to her relief. He took of
his coat, and rushed up to her. wrapped the
garment around her waist, and succeeded in
smothering the flames. Her clothing, how
ever, was about all burned from her body

corset remaining. The unfortunate girl
was at once taken back into the house, and
DIR. Peale, who resides close by, was called
to attend to her injuries. Her feet were
protected by her shoes, but her limbs, entire
body and face presented a most
SHOCKING SPECTACLE,
her body especially being burned almost to
crisp. The hair was all burned from the
back part of her head. and her face was
scarcely recognizable. From the appearance
of her mouth ana lips it is thought she Sin

The pupils of the New York institute for
the blind gave public exhibition at Stein
way hall. The exercises consisted of vocal
and instrumental music and exercises on
sewing machines and in arithmetic, geog-
rapby and reading, in all of which the pupils
showed much proficiency. The works of
Handel, Weber, Kuchen, Schumann, Flo
tow and Haydn were expressively rendered
by these sightless children. But the most
interesting part of the program was the ex-
ercises. Three girls sat down to sewing ma
chimes, threaded the shuttle, adjusted the
needle, hemmed and gathered with SEEM
ingly perfect ease and certainly with great
rapidity. In arithmetic the pupils showed
marvellous rapidity and accuracy of thought.
Long and complicated problems in interest,
fractions and percentage were done mental
ly in flash of time. In geography and
reading, studied by means of raised maps
and letters, equal proficiency was shown.

ALLEN COUNTY DEvAsTED.

A TERRIFIC sToRM-CoNsIDERABLE DAMAGE
INFLICTED.
Fort WAYNE, IND, June 22.-The south
ern part of this, Allen county was visited by
terrible storm of wind and rain yesterday
afternoon which tore up trees, demolished
fences, barns, ETC., besides totally destroying
large number of fields of wheat. The rain
was accompanied by the most terrific
thunder and lightning which is described as
the most violent ever known in this section
of the country. The loss cannot be esti-
mated at this writing, but it will probably
be considerable. The effects of the storm
were not felt in this city to any extent.
