Correspondence OF the Express.

House last evening, never to return. ! saw
Mrs Tyler on Sunday. She looked sweety.
| think she never looked more beautiful. She I
has certainly improved in her appearance since
she was married. All seem interested in Mrs
Tyler, who had though short, yet brilliant
career at the White House. The last public
appearance she made was at Washington's
birth night ball, the god, when she was very
gay, and danced four quadrilles, all (exceptsone)
with the heads OF Departments, beginning with
Judge Bib, now upwards 20, next the Sec
retary of War, Mr. Wilkins, next Mr. Mason,
and closing with the Post Master General.
The station she is now to occupy is that of
planter's wife, with but few neighbors and
those very distant 1t will be different from
that to which she has been accustomed. For
the last ten years she has resided in this city,
or has been travelling in Europe.
Mrs Tyler is thought of and spoken OF, but
her husband is, as the Western men say, Of
mo account When or how he leaves, or
whether he remains in the city, is OF no impor-
lance.
The President and his lady, it is said, will
take up their residence at the White House to-
morrow. Mrs Polk complains bitterly of the
condition OF the White House, and well she
may-it is truly barn of place, and in a
wretched condition. ] saw it the morning al
ter Ex-Fresident Van Buren, left it, and il re-
minded me of the breaking up Of hard winter
the damask chairs, sofas and curtains, were
all stained and soiled. | am told the furniture
looks now worse than ever.
MI Polk dresses not only plain, but rather
sloveny His clothes are badly made, and sit
awkwardly, as though they were made by
country tailor not familiar with the latest FASH
ions he wears a large surtout, which reaches
down to his ankles. Mrs Polk, on the contra
ry, ouer-dresses. At church, particularly, she
would be remarked by the gaiety OF her dress.
On Sunday, she wore white silk bonnet, white
r;o Iooa fachi hlp vpf
mantilla, and rich colored silk dress. The
President and his lady have attended church
but two Sunday mornings-they sat in Mr.
Ellsworth pew 1t is therefore given out that
he will attend the Presbyterian Church in
Four-and-a-half street.
Many of your female readers, no doubt, may
want TO know how Mrs Polk appears. For
their benefit will state that she appears about
forty, rather over-has sharp face and nose
exhibits fine set OF teeth !; h as quite saow
complexion /; is rather thin and appears genteel
but dresses 'to kill The city is crowded, but
not halt as much so it was four years ago,
nj the inaugural address of Gen. Harrison.
Full three fourths Of the strangers are from the
west and south-hardly genteel person is to
be seen. The ball tonight will be entirely po-
litical,-no a wing having been invited as q
manager.
Mr. Cough, the temperance lecturer, caused
agreat sensation here, and has met with grea

forward TO sign the pledge.
Further .anti-Rent Disturbances.-Ther,
has been an outbreak among the tenants o
Robert l.. Lvngston's estate in Ulster Coun
ty, which, from appearances, is like to lead L
serious difficulties. On Friday week, they EN-
poyed Mr. Lashcr to remove quantity o
timber that had been feed by some trespasser
on the patent. While engaged in that duty
he was suddenly surrounded and taken by
gang Of fifteen or sixteen armed men, disguise'
as Indians, who required him to desist and b
off at once. On his refusal he was seized b.
the 'Indians,' and a severe scuffe ensued, M
Lasher resisting to the extent OF his power
He was, however, overpowered, and as usua
received coat of tar and feathers. They the
made The effort to throw him from rock abou
ten feet in height, in which they soon succeed
ed, but not without precipitatlng two oil the
men, to whom Lasher continued TO make goo
his hold during the ARRAY. Their masks WEI
displaced in the fall, by which he was enable
to recognize the two. He finally escaped, bat
" bruised and hurt. Warrants were mmed
ately got, and the two he recognized were a
rested, but by some unaccountable negligent
of the officers, they made their escape.

The Madness of .Millerism.--The terrib
mana-which has produced so much misei
and death-is still raging in some parts Of tn
State, in the most revolving shape. We r
Gently published a brief account OF its foul wo
in Orrngton, and we now learn from anoth
section of the State that in new shape its /
iatuating influence is raging. 1885
In the town Of Atkinson, Piscataquls count
the 'receivers'-as they style themselves
the Miller iaacies, have discovered new th
ory: which is that the day OF grace has be-
passed, and that we are all now in eternit
and that the lawful horrors of general jud
ment are soon to be manifested 10 all eyes.
Some OF them take special pains to huml
themselves, and for this purpose wash and K
each others feet-creep upon the floor, 3
In some instances their conduct is revolving
the extreme. Take this case which recent
occurred: "A pious, virtuous woman, felt
her duty, as she stated, TO appear before
assembly she was addressing entirely maxi
This supposed duty she at once discharged
loosening her cloak and shawl-the only g.
ments she had on-and letting them drop
the floor! The receivers of the doctrine
