WHOLESALE IscErp1Anrsx.-Henry chapman .n

WHOLESALE INcENDIARIsx.-Henry Chapman, an incorporate man, set on fire and destroyed nine barns and one store in Preston, New London coun- ty, on Monday night of last week, and while at tempting to fire the house of his wifes father. was shot at and fatally wounded by his brothcr-in-law Chapman staggered and almost fe:l, but escaped in to the woods, where he was found dead the next day. His wife had petitoned for divorce and the buildings burnt belonged to persons who have be frended her in her application for release from her drunken and savage husband.
 The saddest effect of this incendarism is thus re- lated in the Norwich Bulletin:
 ''Mr. William H. Prentice, of Preston city, died at his home in that village, Wednesday noon He had been sick and confined to his bed for a week past, with . malignant sore throat. On the night of Monday. when his barn adjoining the house was burned by Chapman. he was so i'll as to have watch ers but understand, he got up from his bed and eneavorcd to assist in extinguishing the flames In doing so, he took additional cold. and prus- tratcJ with the effect of the excitement that he grew rapidly worse the next day, and on Wednes- day die.l. His death undoubtedly occasi",cd by the excitement and exposure incident to the burn inf of his barn."

SHOCKING SUICIDE BY A BOY. Correspondence of the N. ". Tribune

NoRwALK Conn. Aug. 13, 1859.
 Last evening (Friday) thrill of horror electrified our quiet community the tidings sped from mouth to mouth, that young man, 17 years of age, had shot himself in fit of passion It is rnmoreds that he had been maddened by the just rebukes and approximations of his father and family, because of in his conduct. Accordingly he bor- rowed pistol. and going to tho rear of the house. applied it to his person and fired it, so close that his clothing was set on fire by the explosion. The family hearing the sound rushed to the spot, and found him weltering in his blood He said he had done it to spite his father, and at first expressed no regret for what he had done; but afterward, when he came to realize his position, he bewailed his madness and folly. The very respectable family ale, of course, plunged into the deepest grief
 The ball entered his abdomen, passed through his body, and lodged under the skin in his back. We saw it in the hands of his physician, who said this morning that he was dying. What an affect ing instance of the nfatuation of passion of the wickedness and misery of an ungoverned temper Ponder it, parents and teachers! Take warning. boy! ! Let the lesson be improved in Sunday schools! '' He that s slow to anger is better than the mighty and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh city.

The Huntsville (Alabama) Democrat, edited by J. w. Clay Esq., brother of the United States Seli- ator Clay of that State, thus explicitly states the conditions upon which, and upon which only, Ala bama will support the nominee of the Charleston Convention:
 'sNo nominee of the Charleston Convention can obtaln our support unless the platform adopted shall substantially recognise the Constitutional rights of the South on the Slavery question, as laid down by the Supreme Court in the bred Scott decision, to wit: that Slavery is recognized in the Constitution. and that it is the duty of every de- pertinent of the Federal Government. Congression- a Judicial and Executive, to guard and protect it and unless the antecedsns of the nominee are such as to justify the belief that he will be safe custo- dian of the rights of the South under the Consitu tiun,"

PLAGIARISM DEFINED AND ILLUSTRATED In Rev. Dr. Adams's discourse at the funeral of Ml Choate the following passage occurs:
 "A very short time before he was to deliver his address before the New England Society at New York, asked him if he had yet written it. Not the seven-thousandth part of word, was his idiomstic answer. But said he, T believe that shall appropriate speech made at Park street church the other evening" It was charge at the ordination of young friend from Geneva, who was to labor as an evangelist in Canada Coming as the candi- date did from Geneva. it was natural for any one who addressed him to speak of the Puri- tans in their connection with Geneva. The few unambitious words on that topic, on that occasion, reported in . newspaper, were an ac- cidental spark that entered the furnacc-cham- Der of his great mind, and kindled it for per formance which will not soon be forgotten. It was like him, thus to recognize one who had done him service even nnintentionally nor did he fear the imputation of plagiarism for his taking of another mans thoughts was as when the sun plagiarises the waters, and turns them into showers and rainbows, and gorge ous sunsets, and harvests, and grass upon the mountains, and herbs for the service of man 7

fg-Gov Wise of Virginia, by the treacheIy of New York correspondent, has been most effectually used up as candidate for the Presidency One Don nelly opened e correspondence with the Governor, in which expressed the strongest desire for his nomination, and in his reply the unwise Wise takes occasion to speak disparagingiy of Mir. Douglas and Fernando Wood, and quite realistically of himself. expressing the most perfect confidence of success if favored with tle Charleston nomination. This let ter was shown to some of the soft politicians at gathering at Albany. who took 8 copy and had it printed. The effect is such as to disgust the Hard Shclls and to excite the rdicule of all others At the same time the treachery of the Sots in making public private letter has damaged that faction ot the New York democracy. as it ought. Gov. Wise, though excessively vain, is frank :. outsp.'ken man, quite too honest to have any intercourse with the betrayers of his confidence.

fS The Waterbury American, in a notice of the murder of Stevens by Riggs in that city, says the prisoner attributes the aay to 'the free circulation of intoxicating liquors in Myers Soloon. to which the editor adds Such is the usual origin of these violent crimes against human life, at least nine times out of ten, and it behooyes every community to keep strict eye upon places where intoxicating liquors are recklessly sold'' Right, neighbor but so long as Brother Cook and his temperance neigh bors allow the Scovile and other genteel houses to sell, the more reckless places cannot well be shut up.

GENEROUS GIFT TO PAsroR--DR BrsH- NELL's LETTER OF THANKs.-Io Me North Chmrch and Scciay of Hartford: Brethren and friends: Just before my depai ture from Hartford, l was appraised of subscription of ten thousand dollars generously made up by you as provision for my future comfort and that of my family, which, in the hurry and con- fusion of the time, felt myself unable fitly to acknowledge. And cannot do it now words have no such meaning as l require. The most can say is, that in this tribute you have only done what is like yourselves. Upon just this footing of generous consideration l have had my course among you for these twcn- ty-six years and now, at the closing of our most dear, never-to-be-forgotten relationship, you have only crowned your part in it worthily and in character
 Ministers, believe, are often compounded with or hired to go, by some small bonus from their people :; but the volunteering of a people to provision the future of pastor who is com pelled himself to cast off the burdens of his of. flee, is nearly or quite unexamplcd. And am the more deeply affected by it, that you choose to do it, in form, as matter of honorable and just obligation. count 1t one of the principal felicities of my life that have been permitted to be your minister. I began early to feel it to be so :; wanted no other calling, wanted no other place, discouraged every suggestion that proposed to draw me of to other engagements commonly regarded as promotions. My re- ward has been always coming, and is now fully coMe. In this parting testimony that you give me, honorable alike to you and to me, I think it will be seen that the relation of christian pastor and his flock can be one of such dignity and beauty as carries respect. And the char acter you haze put me on this relation, it is my happiness to believe, will do much to awaken a juster and worthicr sentiment re- spccting it, or even to make it felt as want, on both sides, that it should be relation of constancy, care, generosity and christian honor. And therefore it is that make my ackmowl- edgment of your kindness in this public way, that our common felicity ill those ties of duty 80 often terms of uneasiness, jealousy, com plalht and mutual recrimiuation- incte to better thoughts, where such indictment is wanting
 May God keep you ever in his peace, giving you in due time better and more faithful pas tor; and it will be enough if he is only as hap py in his work and place as have been before him. HORACE RusHNE11.
