BY Telegraph 10 the oenuneil WHEELING, W. Va, February 22-The facts connected with the ~incendiary fire at Claysville, Pennsylvania, reeiting the par ticulars Of the attempt Of a young man to FIRE his fathers house, and burn his parent and sister, in order that he might have the means to marry, mentioned in these dis patches on Saturday, are augmented to-day by further reports from the scene Of the occurrence. James worrell, the son and perpetrator of the unnatural crime, was studying for the ministry, and a few even ings before the fire led a prayer meeting. It seems that his desire for money had be- come q mania with him. Some time pre- ceding the fire he stole several Of his fathers sheep and sold the pelts, and then inno- Gently helped his father to search for the sheep. A short time after this the house was robbed of several hundred dollars, James claiming to have lost two dollars by the robbery, to blind the family. 1t is now learned that his five sisters, instead OF one, as previously stated, were locked In their rooms. and after the house was set on fire by James, one of his sisters escaped anu y 8&tV11 NV t< W VaAL Wv neighbors, who arrived in aimc TO rescue the rest Of the family. 1t is stated that young Worrell tried to poison the family | some time age, and then escaped to Ohio, being arrested in his fight by his father, who, through all has tried hard to shield his son from the indignation of his neigh bors.

/ The steamship America, Capt Shan non, with 46 passengers for Boston and ! for Halifax, arrived at this port this morning Prof. Risley and his ballet troupe from Paris are among the Americas passengers: The Baltic arrived at Liverpool l-2 past 10 Tuesday morning. She encOun- tered unusually heavy weather through out her passage from New York. The Canada preceded the Baltic and arrived at l-2 past IL Sunday forenoon. There is greatly increased agitation in England and Scotland at the anti-Po- perry movement, and the Daily News asserts that the Attorney General is pre- pairing bill to make penal the holding Of English titles by the Catholic clergy, and the Times significantly remarks that ID oct. Ulathoon is the first as he will assuredly be the last Bishop of Bir- mngham. Lord Beaumont, a Catholic nobleman, has taken the field against the measures Of the Pope and maintains that his appointments to English Bish- opric are derogatory to the Crown and at variance with the constitution. Immense meetings have been held to denounce the aggressive policy of the country, and in some cases have led TO serious riots, especially at Birkerhead, where the meeting advertised for We'd nesday was attended with one of the widest riots since the days OF the Re- form Bill. Magistrates and Police were compelled to flee before the mob. The Cross finally restored quiet. The latest news from Germany is in no respect more pacific nor affairs less critical and complicated than for two weeks previous to the sailing Of the Am erica. The Prussian Chamber was opened on the 2lst by speech from the King, which has caused intense excitement and looked upon as favorable to the war party. He says, in the shortest possible time we shall be more strongly armed than ever before either in ancient or modern time. The disturbance between the Prus- sian and Bavarlon troops at Frankfort were renewed on the 25th and in sew eral Of the streets the soldiers of the two countries had very sanguinary conflicts. T

The election of members of Congress and the State Legislature, was held in Missouri on Monday the 9th. The result, so far as learned, is most encouraging to the Wings. Darby (whig) is certainly elected to Con- gress in the lst District, by at least 1000 majority;-in the 2nd and 3rd Districts the returns, so far as received, would indicate the success of the Whig candidates, Miller and Porter. Nothing from the 4th or 9th Districts. Of the members elected 10 the Legislature, so far as heard from, 3S are Wings, II Benton democrats and r anti Benton democrats. It would appear from this that old Bull lions Senatorial career was likely 10 end with this session of Congress.

Tho National Guard Taking o Hand in Poiitics. No call has yet been issued for the meet ing of tine Fourth Cong essionai Republican Convention, and Mr.. Lloyd has nothing to say when questioned concerning the mat ter. General John T. Cutting has been agreed upon, and his nomination was deemed reasonably assured, but new and powerful factor has entered into the fight, which may make it necessary to cast about for another man. TIE mention of his name has aroused the opposition of the members of the National Guard, with whom he is not overpopular, anu they are making an organized effort TO defeat him for The nomination. The cause of their hostility is traceable back to his appointment by Governor Waterman to the rank of Brigadier- General. 1t will be remembered that at that time the National Guard desired that the place should be given to Colonel John H. Dickin- son, and Cutting was sent to Sacramento to plead the formers cause. just what oc- cured is not known. but, at any rate, Gut ting came back to San Francisco with the title, and Colonel Dickinson was left out. This, the Guardsmen claim, has never been satisfactorily explained, and they aver that, in addition to this, the General has acted in most disagIeeable manner, and has antag opized, not only the officers, but the rank and file. Committees are already at work among the delegates. and General Cuttings chances are Liable to grow beautifully less as the days 60 by.

The Rutland Herald, which has hitherto remained silent on the governor question. came out early this week with the nomina ton Of Chief Judge Royce, and is now working a boom of its own for the Judge with marked copies freely distributed. and circular letters asking about the interest aroused. The Herald bases its opposition TO Woodbury. and Page on the ground of the active personal canvass which they have made, and says that Judge Royce. while he would not enter into a scramble for the office, would accept tina nomination if given him 10y the convention. There are unquestionably many in the state who would be glad to see something like this happen, and The Phoenix deprecates as earnestly as any the element of self-seek- ing which has entered into this canvass, hut IN the situation which has now been reached 1t looks like a foregone conclusion that the contest in the convention will lie between Col. Woodbury. and Mr.. Page. with Mr.. Page much the stronger candidate, on the east side of the mountain at least. At ter the active and searching canvass which has been made it would he surprising de velopment should any third candidate come up with strength enough to defeat the choice of one of these two, unless the los ing side should at the last moment throw its strength to such a man in order to de feat its opponent. 1t is a serious question moreover whether even Judge Royce, now IN his I'D year would bring to the govern orship 50 active a knowledge of the cur rent affairs of the state, and so watchfu ana well Informed a care Of the financial problem which confronts the people, as would Mr.. Page with his knowledge aud zeal in these matters.

A great deal of character is often impaired and received at the table. Parents too often forget this, and therefore instead of swallowing your food in silver silence, instead of brood ing over your business, instead of Sc vereIy talking about others, let the conversation at the table be genial, kind, social and cheering. Don't bring unpleasant things to the table in your conversation any more than you would in your dishes. For this reason, too, the more good company you have at your table, the better for your children. Every conversation with company at your table is an ed ucatOr of the family. Hence the intel ligence, and the refinement, and the appropriate behavior of family which is given to hospitality. Never feel that intelligent visitors can be any thing but blessing to you and yours. How few have fully gotten hold of the fact, that company and cOnyersa- ton at the table are no small part OF education.
