A Man WHIPPED TO LIFE.-An intem-
perate man named Stanley attempted to
commit suicide at Newark, N. j., on Sun
day. by taking large dose of .laudanum,
which rendered him insensible. The New
ark Aduertiser says:
"a physician was called, who decided
that the only means of restoring animation,
was to give the subject severe beating,
which was done by two men with heavy
switches for quarter of an hour, when
signs of returning animation were shown,
and the patient sat up. A glass of brandy
was then given him, when he fell to sleep.
and the beating process was resumed until
he was fully restored to consciousness. He
is now comparatively well, except some suf-
fering from the bruises received from the
extraordinary course of sprouts to which
he was subjected. This is the first case We
ever heard of where man was whipped tt
life from state bordering on death. Case'
of whipping to death occasionally occur, bu
cases Of whipping to life seldom or never.

DEATH OF GEN. CHApMAN.-The melan-
choly news reached our village last evening,
just as we were going to press, that Gen.
JOHN G. CHAPMAN died suddenly (of apo
Iplexy). at "Waverly," the residence of his
sister, on yesterday morning at about 9 o.
clock. ewould not attempt an eulogy, of
this excellent man, if we had time. He was
widely known for his high order of talent,
his usefulness, his mild, digni6ed and gen.
tlemanly department. His death has cast
a gloom upon our whole community, for
there was none who was more generally re-
spected and beloved among us. AS pub
lie man he has often represented this coun-
ty in both branches of our State Legisla-
ture. and once represented this COMPRESSION
al district in tbs House of Representatives.
He was also selected to the honorable posi-
ton of President of the Convention to reform
the State Constitution in 1850, and of the
Wing National Convention in 1852. In all
his relations in life he has been faithful in
the discharge of duty. He died at the age
of So.
The funeral will take place at St. Johns,
the residence of Judge Barnes, on Friday,
at IL o'clock.

CoTToN SEED.-The New Orleans Plea
yune notices the engagement of ship Of 800
tons to take full cargo of cotton seed from
that port to Providence. r. l.. where the
article is to be turned into oil and oil cake.
An extensive factory for extracting oil from
the seed of cotton is already in operation in
Rhode Island. and one or two companies are
forming in Boston with the object of getting
up similar establishments there. This is an
enterprise in which the South is greatly in
terested, promising as it does. to convert an
article hitherto worse than useless, into one
of great commercial value.
