A Real Romance of Lore.

It is pretty romance, that of the wooing
of Prof. Bell of telephone fame. His wife is
the daughter of Mr.. Gardiner G. Hubbard,
whose skill as patent lawyer has served
Prof. Bell in good stead. At very tender
age Mrs. Bell lost her hearing after an attack
of scarlet fever, and became in consequence
a deaf mute. Her parents, hearing of the
success in Germany in teaching deaf mutes
to speak, took their daughter abroad, where
she feared to speak both in French and Ger
man. On their return to this country Prof.
Bell, then a teacher in deaf mute institu-
ton, was engaged to give private lessons to
Miss Hubbard. In time, finding himself be-
coming too much attached to his pupil, like
an honorable man he went to Mr.. Hubbard
and resigned his position, giving his reasons.
Miss Hubbard was.then too young to have
her mind disturbed by such matters so her
father and lover thought. Men, however, do
not always understand the early growth of a
young girls mind and heart. Prof. Bells
pupil dropped, and in time her parents dis
covered the cause of her melancholy. The
young man was recalled and the wedding
was celebrated. Their beautiful home in
Washington is now one of the centres of hos
pitality, and Mrs. Bell among the most agree
able women in Washington society.

LOTTERY 1NpIcTMENrs oUAsHEp.

LOUISVILLE, March 5.-The indictments
against J. j. Douglas, manager Of the Henry
county lottery, were quashed in the United
States court to-day, by Judge Barr. Douglas
was charged with sending lottery matter
through the mail, in violation of the postal
laws. The indictments were worded precise
" like that which convicted the lottery men
in Chicago court. Judge Barr ruled that
congress in passing the law, contemplated
that all lottery matter be non-mailable,
whether the lottery be legal or fraudulent,
but he said congress could not decide on the
moral character Of the lottery, though it
could regulate the postal laws. He said the
indictments did not allege there were depos
its in the mail box of the postoffice by the lot
terry employees, and held that there should be
an allegation of such deposits, and ordered
he indictments uuashed

wheeling CIV. va.) Special


Last Tuesday quite sensation was created
in Charleston, Jefferson County, this State,
by the passage through the streets of the
lumber that composed scaffold upon which
John Brown was executed on December &c.
1859. Shortly after his execution the scat.
fold was taken down and the lumber used in
erecting porch to brick dwelling, situated
at the corner of Lawrence and Liberty
streets, in Charleston. After the owners
death, which occurred several months ago,
Col John NJ. Coyle purchased the property,
and, wishing to preserve the lumber, had it
carefully removed and placed under lock
and key. By singular coincidence the car
penters who erected and tore down the scat
fold and used the lumber in erecting the
porch twenty years ago, were hired to remove
it on Tuesday last. Each piece of lumber
had been carefully numbered by them, so
that there can be no possible question as to
its identity.
