Power of a Mothers Name--A Young
RoWdv Entering Prison.

A writer in the Boston Times describes
a visit to Penitentiary at Philadelphia,
and gives the following sketch of an in-
terview between Mr.. Scattergood, the hu-
name warden of the prison, and a young
man who was about to enter on his i'm
prisonmcnt: We passed on to the ante
room again, where We encountered new
conner, who had just been sent up for FIVE
years on a charge of emhezzlemen He
was attired in the latest style of fashion,
and possessed all the nonchalance and
careless appearance of geDteel rowdy
he twiIled his watch chain, looked par
ticularly knowing at couple of ladies
who cbanced to be present, aud seemed
utterly Indifferent about himself or the
predivament be was placed in. The war
den read his commitment, and addressed
him with: "Charles, | am sorry to see
thee here" ut can't be helped, old fel-
ler." "What is thy age. Charlesl'--
Twenty three" "a Philadelphiau'. :
"Wen, kinder, and kinder not. ''Thee
las dsgraeed thyself sadly" swell, |
ain t troubled old stick" "Thce looks
not like a rogue" "Matter of opin-
ion." thee was well situatedl' eyes,
well enough" I'm good employp
well, so So" "And thee has parents!'
Yes" perhaps thee has mother,
Charlesi" The convict had been stand
ing during the brief dialogue perfectly
unconcerned and reckless until this last
interrog story wns put. Had thunder
bolt struck him he could not have fallen
IN ore suddenly than be did when the name
of "mother" fell on his ear. He sank in
to chair-a torrent of tears gushed from
his eyes-the very fountain Of his heart
seemed to have burst on the instant
He recovered partially, and said, i'm
ploringly, to the warden: Don't you,
sir, for Gods sake, don't call her name
in this dreadful place! Do what you u y
with me, but don't mention that name to
me" There were tears in other eyes BE-
sides the prisoners, aud an aching silence
pervaded the group which surrounded the
unfortunate convict. The black cap was
drawn over his eyes He was led to an
adjoining apartment and stripped, and
shortly afterward he reappeared on the
corridor. He passed silently in charge
OF deputy keeper to lonely cell in the
distant part of the prison. the door creak
ed on its hinges, be disappeared, the
chaip dropped from the outside bolts,
and Charles was close prisoner for five
years to come.

Nine Buildings Fired by one Villain--.A
Terrible Night of Crlme---Death OF the
Incendlary.
The town Of Preston, Connecticut, on
the night of August Stb, was the scene
Of wholesale incendiarisn, which is un-
paralleled 10 this country. 1t seems that
man named Chapman had quarreied
with and abused bis wife in such man
ner that she could not live with him, and
returned to the house of her father, far
mer named Wheeler. A short time
since, be drove to the house Of his father
in law and stole away bis son, lad Sc
ven years of age, whom he illtreated for
several days. during which he was pur'
sued. An officer foally overlook him at
place called Noank, took the boy away
from him, and served on him petition
for divorce, his wife having resolved upon
such step. On Monday Dight. he re-
turned from Noapk in a perfect rage,
not only against his wife and her family,
but against the whole town for taking her
part. At late hour he commenced bis
fendish career, and, as he passed along
the road, he fred niue buildings, most OF
them barns, full of grain, wagons, farm
ing tools, &c, which created loss OF ma
nv thousands of dollars to the different
owners. At lenath the stealtby villain
came to the house of Mr.. Wheeler, his
father -in-law, where the closing scene oi
this drama Of devastation was enacted
and where he no doubt intended to mur-
der the whole family. The Wheeler fam
ily were aroused by the son OF one o.
their neighbors whose buildings bad beer
fred, who came there for assistance -
Before they could get ready to depart tc
the assistance Of others, they discovered
their own out-buildings on fire, and while
they were carrying water to extlnguist
the FIRE in the barn. one of the boys dis
covered Chapman at the corner of the
house, attempting to set fire to some dry
brush lying against the house. He im
uedistely gave the alarm. A regular
fight now ensued, and Chapman snapped ;
pistol twice at the head of Mr.. Wheeler
but the weapon missed FIRE. The contesi
was finally ended by SOP of Mr.. Wheeler
discharcing a musket loaded with shot a
Chapman the latter fed. twas afIerward'
discovered that this shot proved fatalto th'
wretch, for when parties went out to seoul
the woods the next morning his body wa
found near spring, where he had gone
10 tathe bis wounds. In his abdomen
were found about one hundred sho
wounds. A general feeling OF relief fol
lowed, when it was known that the in
cendiary no longer lived to prosecute BIZ
fendish revenge.

White Frost in Dog Days.

We learn that this very unusual atmos-
pherieal visitation occurred last night up.
Oh the lower grounds of many localities
in different directions. Among other pla.
ces heard from at Ashland, Mass, and
Souersworth. N. Ii the platforms around
the depots were observed to be covered
with thick collection of hoar frost, and
spots of it were plainly visible on most o.
the lines of railway OF the North. Ii
was thought, however, that little dam
age was done to crops, with the exception
Of some of the latest sown vegetables
which were of course "nipped in the bud
sufficiently to cause them to wilt under
the succeeding sunshine The frost was
most fortunately not powerful enough tc
effect the corn crop.-Boston Transcript
