says that the following singular circumstances n
were elected at recent trial in that city: 3,
"a gentleman endeayored to obtain adivorceO,
from his wife, for infdeliy to her nuptial VOWS, o.
when it was actually proven that his voluptu- 81
Gus partner had, in tile course ofa year or two, s.
seduced her husbands two brothers, besides s.
several other individuals, some Of whom we're o.
mere acquaintances Of week, and some of on 6
ly day. Astonishing as it may seem the lady o
belonged TO undstinguished family and such
was her regard for truth, that Notwithstanding O
The Nervousness Of her guilt she uniformly con-
fessed, while she wept over her transgressions.
She acquainted her husband with the hideous
facts, and lamented her inability 20 restrain her
passions; even at the moment she was planning
some additional intrigue, and hence the divorce
vas sought for by mutual consent. The lady
was very handsome, and possessed quiet mo- {
desty circumference that might have fired the
bosom Of an Anchorite.n
REVOLUTIONARY ANEcDoTE.-A venerable A.
merican Judge relates the following revolution
airy anecdote: "'Fhe morning following the
battle at Yorktown, had the curiosity to at
tend the dressing of the wounded; and among
others whose limbs were as much injured as to
require amputation, was musician, who had
received musket ball in the knee. As was
usual in such cases, preparations were making

ming it, he said, Snow Doctor, Begin and he
continued to play until the operation, which
took about forty minutes, was completed, with
out missing note or moving muscle.
Go 1T BooTs!-Mrs. Jemima Boots adverti-
ses Mr.. Anthony Boot, in an eastern paper
She says Anthony is ''soul-ess fellow" and
hiss left her bed and fodder. Nonsense! Mrs.
Boots. You ought to let your shabby spouse

without a oul?-not fit to be trod upon even,
Ibv the pretty foot of lady! We dare say, one
'lhaf of the ladies who are cursed with worth
less husbands, would be glad to get rid of their
sold Boots" in the same way, and help them
> selves to shelter fit" forthwith. Therefore,
we say let him go, Mrs. B., and as you have

n MELANCHOLY CAsUALrY.-A small boy, the
5, son of Mrs. Winship, living on Walnut street,
). was Yesterday killed by leopard belonging to
i the menagerie which has renamed in this city
b during the winter. 1t seems that the lad ven
tured too near the cage in which the. animal
= was confined, escaping the vigilance of the
g keepers, who were apprized OF the accident by
! hearing his cries. The leopard, finding the
e boy within his reach. with single stroke of
= the paw severed the jugular vain, causing his
death in the space often minutes. The occur
renee, it is probable, originated wholly in tho
boys own carelessness.- Cincinnati Rep.
A BAD ACCOUNT OF BuLwER.-Ac to
n the New York Wing, Bulwer, the great novel;
n list, is charged in the London Age not only with
l. having separated from his wife, and now living
= openly with mistress, but with having mean
, ly notified the publc.that he would pot be res
}, ponsible for his wfes debts, though she does
J, o contract any, 1t is added, that so far is la
s dy Bulwer from annoying him with debts, that
if she has actually annoyed herself with bills in
l. Cured by her husbands mistress, who impru-
). identity assumes the title to which she is so infa-
t, mousy destitute ofjust claim.
IS IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.--We remember
, that during visit of an Indian Chief in one OF
IS our northern cities, he asked, on seeing the jail
a 0what is that building for"? The interpreter
l. who accompanied him, in order to render him
9, self Ineligible, observed "that when a white
man owed skins and could not pay them they
D. put him in that building" The Chief after q
CT little reflection replied, dryly. "Hugh! s0hitt
le man no Glitch skins in there"!
The REASON wHY--Almost every thing con
/. sumed in family, now commands an exhorb
r. tanf price, except cream, Of which, by the way
bfIthere is none. Enquiring Of the mkman the
N reason ofits scarcity, he satisfied our query BY
,r saying that "milk has riz so tarnal high thai
il lcream can't reach the top"
A lively authoress says--"A walk by moon
light is a very pleasant thing with a lover, and
