Two GIRLS ACCUSED OF ARSoN.-The
dwelling house of Wesley Woodard at
South Londonderry was burned with its
contents the other evening. Mr.. and
Mrs. Woodward had gone to visit friends,
leaving the house in charge of two
daughters, aged about % and 16. About

given to neighbors, who on their arrival,
found the fire had made considerable
progress and were unable to save much
from the flames. The daughters of Mr..
Woodward gave an account of the fire by

there were suspicious circumstances that
led to an investig tion of the cause of the
fire. Enough was discovered TO cause the

Mrs. Bell, wife OF Professor Graham
Bell, the electrician, was one of the deaf
pupils of DR.. Gallaudet Washington.
Professor Bell first met her at reception
at the college, and so expert was she in
reading speech by the motions of the lips
that they conversed together for some time
without his discovering her infirmity. At
last, walking through the conservatory,
where some of the Chinese lanterns had
gone out, he made some remark requiring
an answer. But none was forthcoming, it
being not light enough for her to see the
movements of his lips. He repeated the
remark, and again got only silence for
reply. Mystifed, he soon escorted her
back to the parlor, and then. in the bril-.
liant light, asked her why she had not
answered him; but his amazemeut was
redoubled tenfold at her ready reply: II
have never heard sound in all my life."

repeated promise previously made TO
his mother that he would leave no state
ment or letter concerning the murders.
And then, with dealhly pallor upon his
face, he mounted the gallows, and in
few moments the black flag was hoisted,

many Of whom had been repeating prayers
for the dying, burst into wild shrieks and
young woman fell upon her knees and
called a curse Of God upon James Carney,
