SINGULAR lNcIDrNT.-We learn that
excitement exists in Ken
sington, N. II. in consequence of the
finding of Mr.. Gilman Lamprey, of that
place, apparently dead in bis chair, sew
eral days since; but who, after keeping
a week, exhibits none OF the signs of
real death. Mr.. L. up to the time he
was thus found, had been as well as us
ual and no satisfactory cause Of this
singular state of things is yet found
We are told that, at the end Of the week
the countenance retains its full color,
and that, aside from the Inconsistencies
which has prevailed from the first, there
are no indications of death. A few years
since a brother of this person, his wife
and their son, all came to their death by
misunderstanding Mass. Vilager.

mr.. Webster's Family since his
Execution.

Some persons seem lost to all sense Of
nropriety, delicacy and decency. We
pfometimes think that City life renders
human beings heartless and insensible to
The feelings and circumstances of others.
We are quite certain that the toughest
b,ekwoods-man that ever swung an axe
or sighted rifle, would not trample upon
the feelings of others as exhibited be-
low that with innate instructive delica-
~ he would shrink from g breaking the
bruised reed" What lesson to hui
manity is the whole history of this horrid
Parkrnan tragedy.
The Evening Post has letter from a
correspondent at Boston, giving some
facts appertaining to the family of the
late Professor Webster, which are not
without interest, though they curiously
illustrate the strange follies of which
poor human nature is capable:
Daily, even to the present period
you may see persons driving up TO the
dwelling house of Mrs. Webster, at Cam
bridge, for the purpose of at least look
ing at the outside of the house where her
late husband lived. The day after the
execution, carriage drove up, and a
lady, Cat least apparently one, and her
two daughters Ga Mrs. P.) from New
York, alighted, and desired to enter and
see the corpse, stating that they had come
on purpose. When the application was
objected to gently, they insisted upon en-
tering, till they were more peremptorily
refused.
Among the mass of communications
and letters which the family have re-
ceived since his arrest, (and they have
been SO numerous that the postage alone
on them might have supported them for
six months, was one from a Baptist
clergyman of Kentucky, who offered, if
the family would send him money to pay
his travelling expenses, TO come and use
his influence with the Parkman family,
as his deceased wife had been distant
relation of theirs, and Gov. Briggs, who
belongs to the Baptist persuasion, to pro-
cure pardon for the convict.
Another man presented himself at the
house short time before the execution,
and desired an interview with Mrs.
Webster, for the purpose, as he stated,
of making some important communica-
tions TO her. They proved to be that he
had hit upon scheme TO effect the pris-
oner's escape, that vessel was ready TO
sail and bring him away in safety, and all
he desired was the corporation of the
family.
A scamp, whose name is not known,
perpetrated the vilainy of sending, after
the execution, a newspaper to the house,
directed to Mrs. Webster, which con-
tanned wood cut OF the execution in
detail.
Two Sundays ago, when the family
appeared in the parish church, TO attend
public worship, the minister, (who was
not the regular clergyman Of the par
ish, but preached there merely by way
of exchange, although he had been ex-
pressly told by the regular minister to
be careful in regard to his subject, be-
cause the unfortunate family might per-
haps attend, chose the edifying subject
of The execution of criminals" begin
ming with crucifixons. Icould add other
incidents as fattering to human nature as
these; but the heart sickens to think Of
them

ONE OF THE PRINTERs.-We were not
a little amused a day or two since, while
conversing with our friend Parham, of
the Chattanooga Gazette, in listening to
some inklings of his experience in the
way of newspaper publishing. He com
menced the publication of his paper
about fourteen years ago in Chattanooga,
then almost wilderness. The editori-
ais were written and most of the type
set, for the first number, while floating
down the river with his printing office
on flat boat. Landing where Chat
tanooga now stands, and finding houses
rather a scarce commodity, he located
his office under one of the forest trees,
and printed his paper there, making a
barrel head serve the purpose of his edi-
torial table.
After a while he changed the location
of his office 10 blacksmith's shop, where
he continued for some time TO issue his
paper. He had chosen the right spot,
however, as subsequent events have
proved for where fourteen years ago
this pioneer issued bis paper in the open
air under tree, is now large and flour
fishing town, with the steam car daily
whistling through its streets, and steam
boats visiting its wharf, laden with the
rich products Of the vast area of country
bordering on the Tennessee and its trib
utaries. Parham, we are glad to know,
has reaped some Of the merited fruits of
his perseverance and industry, and is
now as the saying goes, "very well to
do in the world" His Gazette appears
regularly on our table, and is large and
interesting sheet.-.4tlanta Ga. } Int.

Az Old Haynau has got hold of copy
of the American fugitive slave law, and
says this is the country for him. His
atrocities have made him detested all
over Europe, but he is quite confident
that he can find sympathy among the
men who passed that law. They will
probably make him their candidate for
President.

long, anxious and very thorough discus
sion, have voted to postpone indefinitely
the application for the restoration of
Bishop Henry U. Onderdonk, formerly
OF the Diocese of Pennsylvania. The
vote stood IL to 8, two or three of the
nays so voting only because they wished
the question TO be on the merits directly,
instead of an indefinite postponement.-
Two of the Bishops declined voting.
