marvellous Secret-that accounts for 1t all I! That a. poor mechanics daughter should succeed after this fashion. unless she pos sesscd some INDEscRIBABLE CHARM, IS hlgil- ly ridiculous. And ihe worst of the mat ter is that she should have been married, without appearing to have once thought of having recourse to those common means for misunderstanding, those little artifces, winks, inueBdoes, smiles and all the well directed artillery of the eyes, was absolute ly astonishing, and proof conclusive that she was in possession of something that others had not. What a lucky man old Williams is And oh! what lucky girl is Fanny A. pretty wife truly such girl vii make for clergyman- she is in league with some old witch or grandame--some fortune-teller at the foot of tho hill, who has revealed to her the art of making every body love her. It must be so--else why should she be thought of, and we neglected, who have for years been masters of all the female accomplshments-in which she is so evidently wanting. SHE IS NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS. sa

 CASE OF INSANITY lady of this city, in feeble health some years ago fell from carriage. She received very slight bodily injury, but the fright produced a sudden and total alienation of mind.-- She soon became so entirely unmaangea- ble, that her friends were obliged to res move her to inc Lunatic Asylum, at Bloom- ingdale. Ia a few months, under tho treatment of that institution, she had so far recovered from her malady, as to hold in- telligent conversation on many subjects, and her friends were allowed to visit her. On one occasion, when her husband visited her, while he was consulting privately with the superintendent as to the manner in which he should leave without her knowledge, she left tho room unnoticed, and had united his horse standing in front of the house, and seated herself in the wag- on with the reins aud whip in hand, when she was discovered by the people in the house. The. horse was young and spirited, and she had never reined horse before.-- The agonies of the terrified husband, when he saw her apply the lash to the fii- rious animal, may not be easily imagined.- She started off at a full speed. The hus- band called for horse, and was already mounted in pursuit; and although he fol- lowed on a rapid tate, l,e soon lost sight of her amid the throng of carriages that crowd- ed the road from Bloomingdale to New- York. Breathless with anxiety and fear, he reached his home. He rushed into tho house, and behold, there sat his wife in the pnrlor, to his extreme surprise, chatting in high glee with the family on the subject of her recent exploits. Ah," said she to her husband, |" saw you preparing to fol- low me, but eclipsed them all." (It was about the time of the famous races of the
 Eclipse horse with Sir Henry.) l She had driven through the gateway in- to the yard in the rear of the house. and after giving the horse in charge of a ser want, presented herself before her astonish- cd family, to whom she was relating her adventure when her husband arrived. She did not return to the Asylum. Her insan- ily continued, but it was of the least pain full kind. It exhibited itself in extreme sprghtliness and wit in conversation. To strangers who had not known'ber dispOsi- ton 10 be reverse of gayety, inc obserya- ton that her spirits were too buoyant for lady of her age, would suggest itself. With the hope that country air and scenery would be beneficial to her. her husband some years after removed to the State of Vermont. with his family. They had re- sided there about a year, when the house took fire and burned down. The terrible alright accustomed by the disaster it was soon found had completely restored her to her right mind The case is remarkable, in the fact that cure was effected by the same means which produced the disease. and that too, after some six or seven years alienation of mind. The lady is now resident of this city, and in perfect health.
