The Saratoga correspondent Of the N. 7.
Mirror details the following adventure ca
the part OF a young beatty from New Jer.
sey, hch occurred al that fashionable wa
terins place few days since. II affords a
singular instance Of female encen,ficiiy and
was the source Of eqpal smusemen, aud
anna Iemcnt when discovered. Some ten
csys aimee, says the correspondent. theirs
arrised in the Southern train and took
odglng a, the Union Hail. youth appal.
emily abou, Is or 20 year, old, OF singular
beauty, with raven locks q sparkling black
eye. a complexion in which the lily and
the rose seemed wildly striving for tbs
supremacy voice Of sIvery tone aud mes
low richness, and an. ease, maturity and
b!Illaucy Of manner altogether unusual in
male so young, and which attracted the at.
ieniion and excited universal admiration.
In .hor,, he appeared to be one Of lhoss
specimens Of boy hood, upon which nature
is s0metltnes so lavish 10 the besiowment
OF her gifts, and which are as rare as .key
are pleasing and attractive; combining all
the deIicacy and richness Of female beauty,
with ptecocousness OF mind and manner
equally marked and unusual.
With bold, yet by no means rude "a.
mlllarty, he soon made the acquaintance
I OF mothers and misses, who seemed alike
capIvated with the young charmer, and
courted his attention with jealous rivalry;
tie former con6d'ng in his youth as pro.
lection TO their daughters and the latter
subdoed and enraptured by the beauty Of
HIS person and the elegance OF his dress.
In the bail room, with his fashionable dress
coat batoned 10 The chin; his symmetrical
/ limbs, his contracted waist, his round, full
chest, his delicate hands and tiny feet, as
he moved with exquisite elasticity and grace
through the dance, al eyes and many hearts
were fastened with lavish intensity. After
thus riosing a week amidst the most ex.
travsganI affections Of their cspllvated
daue hters. the young Urlah Baden as he
booked himself, suddenly disappeared.
From a fear Of detection, or some Other
cause. he retired to the neighboring 'llsgs
Of BaIIs'on, and catered The National Law
School there as pupil, under the pretenco
that bis parents would be on in day or
two with his baggage. Struck with his
appearance, and the case and eoquence Of
his conversational powers, the President.
J. w. Fowler, Esq, assigned him al once
performance in eff hand speaking, which,
with the trlal and argumen, OF causes. form
a prominent par, in The exercises ofthe Ia.
s,iiu'lcn. In this, his speaking capacities
were put to test TOO severe for a matter
of mere musement; and dreadlng an es.
posure which the presence Of the hundred
young gentlemen connected with the school
might effect, and ceurinty would render
most embarrassing and fearful, he again
took French leave, returned to this place,
aud stopped a. one Of the minor hotels,
where he spent the nigh, before last in eli.
len, secuson, as if rejecting on The error
Of his ways.
During his former visit he had coqusled
with the fair ones, and made three or four
solemn protestaiions of love, which had a.
sakened delicious hope in as many un-
suspicious hearts. Hence the news of his
return led TO many eager but unsuccessful
inquiries for his whereabo bouts. Yesterday
morning there arrived here a fine. looking,
middle eyed gentleman with his lady, ina
tate OF ANXIOUS and nervous excitement,
aVing traced their Grant daughter at
ength TO the theatre Of her comic tragic
dvenures, and being directed to her hi.
ing place, they sought her rooms, tore off
or male disguise, and las, evening left for
ler home 10 New Jersey, with as sweet
nd beautiful looking daughter as ever
raced the proper hablimenls of her sex,
18th nothing to distinguish her from them
II her exquisite personal charms and her
lortened locks, which, TO complete the
usion, she had cropped and subjected to
c hand of the barber. As TO the cause Of
