A Strange and Roniantrc Story. John North Kenwick, Baronet, no-v of Fenwick Hull, K,,KlJU(j, w tl,0 subject of a stnmgely roinantio story in tbo Chicago Democrat, from which we condense nn account of tho misfortune! connected with his wanderings through tho world. Ho is the child ofSir John N. Fenwick, who in 1803, married Clura Seymour, a poor clergyman's daughther, against the wishes of his two sisters. The latter re venged themselves by falsely charging Ludy Fenwick with nu intimacy with n certain young French count whom Sir John had introduced to her at Venice during the honeymoon. Lady Clara swooned at the chargo, and her husband, completely carried away by passion, and convinced that the story told him by his sisters wan (ruts ordered her and tho boy to be expelled from the hall, and imme diately hurried to the seaboard, and etn- burked for the continent. The unfo- tu- nate wife became insanc.ed ,n,p,im in 1,i .,1,: . , . nn asylum, ultimately recovering un - der.he careful kindness of Capt.

Tho health cf Lady Clara greatly failed jftfter the departure of her son for Ameri- ca, nnd Captain O'Neil took her to the south of France in the hops of restoring it.

The ycung man is ;:oiv in Fenwick Hall, whence he has written lo Ins Amer:cnn friends thank ing them for their many kindnesses, and sending remembrances to his former companions. With such a varied expo rienco of life, aristocratic and democratic, Sir John North Fenwick, Baronet, may yet be a man of mark among his com peers. fl-jy Dr. Franklin enid : 'There seems to bo but three ways for R nation to ac quire wealth.
