ionaDe world; particularly on the west side Of the
town. The lovely Miss by, the young lady who
| eloped with Mr. Edward Coolidge, was one Of the
most accomplished and beautiful girls that could be
found in the city Of N. York; and she amiable
as she was lovely With mind Of the highest order
OF intellect, and an educate sound, useful and
comprehensive as it could possibly be- 1t mag nata'
rally be supposed that she the PRIDE and delight
Of her fond parents hearts; and that the news of
her eioPement was blow as fearful to their peace
and happiness, as 1t was unexpected.
Mr.. by, the father of the lady, was that glo-
rious characuer, fine old New York merchant of
the Dutch-and-do business school. For many years
he carried business in West street, very success

retired from business, and took up his residence in
very handsome house in Washington street. Here
Catherine, his only daughter, grew up sim aaneousy

She naturally courted: sought after by great
many coxcombs, great many puppies and NOUS
tached pretenders. and great many handsome and
sensible young men; in the latter class, Of course,
we rank SIR. Edward Coolidge, the fortunate hus-
band Of this most charming gil. One young jewel

In short, there is end to the lovers and adorers
and suitors, and admirers and hungry adventnrers,
and eXpectants that surrounded her At last about
xine months since, she first saw MIR. Edward Cool
edge young grocer of nine months standing, board
ing in Park place, who loved her at first sight and
proposed for her at the first subsequent interview.
She rejected him. He proposed-was rejected
proposed and was rejected, again. and again, and
again. At last he that matters and things were
growing desperate and being of rather dare devil
| disposition, having nothing to loose. and all to
gain, he made desperate push, and proposed an
elopement TO her. Being rather OF romantic turn,
on Tuesday senAigkt she left her fathers house, to
make few calls, young, blushi looming, mai

stage of life in that character; elcped, welded,
bedded, all in one day sfaitb but she was daring
girl.
Amongst the numerous disappointed ones, was a
young shaver Of a single merchant, and Judge
/, of WON she was great favorte, and who
ardently admired her splendid style Of playing upon
the piano In her way out from home, she called at
General Jerome Bonaparte Judds, who acted as
Grand Marshal on this occasion; here she met
Mr.. Coolidge, jumped into a carriage with him,
drove TO the Rev MIR Prices, in Bayard street, by
whom they married They then drove to David
Belden's INLAY street. where they slept that night.
At the bridal ceremony, General Bonaparte Judd
stood up as groomsnan, and Miss Susan Coolidge, a
beautiful young lady from Poughkeepsie ofiieiated
as bridesmaid. The charming Kate B, however,
lovely girl, took most active part in tho whole
affair; and enjoyed it, from FIRST to last about as
much the bride and Bridegroom.
The following evening, as Ariel (who saw the
happy pair safe in their slumbers, the wedding nigh
was lowering about Charraud's, he saw the beautiful
bride and delghted bridegroom enter the ball room,
dressed in the most elegant style of fashion They
were accompanied by Miss CT P, Miss $
