“MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. We learn from the Brooklyn Unionist, that on Tuesday afternoon, 27th ult. about 2 o’clock, the house of Miss CRANDALL, the instructress of colored youths in Canterbury, was discovered to be on fire, in a place and under circumstances which rendered the origin of it inexplicable. The flame and smoke burst out from the corner of one of the rooms farthest from the chimney and fire place, but the inmates of the house with the assistance of the neighboring villagers succeeded in putting it out. This would readily be supposed to be accidental, had not public threats been previously made to effectually break up Miss C’s school. If, as is suspected, it shall prove to be the work of any of those opposed to the efforts of this young lady—they may take back the ignoble epithet of ‘incendiary’ with which they have frequently hailed the abolitionists, and wear it like Cain, branded on their foreheads.— N. Bedford Workingmen’s Press. ”
