"Hard Shell Barnburner:"-A Democrat
VIII still insists upon standing on the frag-
ments of the Buffalo Platform; swears that
Cass distracted the party in l84S; adores
Van Buren,; reads the Evening Post, and be-
comes rabd at the name of a Hunker.
"SoGt Shell Barnburner:'--A Democrat
who processes attachment to the principles
of the Buffalo Platform, but is disposed to
regard the Compromise as finalty; thinks
there was some excuse for Cass' presumption
in '46, and will not object to friendly drink
with Hunker-provded the latter will pay.
J. w. ID. is now in possession of the sig
nifcation of the mysterious terms by which
our Democratic friends have chosen to
designate themselves. Verify, there is no
accounting for tastes.
ANOTHER ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-Our
city was the scene OF an exciting affair yes
terday, the general outlines of which we
consider of sufficient public interest to give
in detail.
Miss Susan Denim, the handsome and
clever young actress, yesterday became Mrs
F. Woodwards, having been married rather
unexpectedly. 1t appears that Mr.. w +,
WIZ 10 gentleman VI OyTdCuSts III cACcIIcuL
business, and nilluent circumstances, has for
year or more been in love with Miss Den
in. He has followed her from place to place;
has written her letter after letter, but has
never been able to make her acquaintance,
and his letters were never received, 1t now
seems, by the young lady. On Saturday.
it is repu'cd, that Miss Denim had some dis
agreement with her step-iather, and guardi-
an. Yesterday morning the friendly rela.
tons between them had not been resumed,
which w. tried to turn to his advantage. -
His father, at his request, called on Miss

I year, and proposed the marriage of his son
and Miss D., Offering, it is said to give the
guardian large SUN, (S5 900 is namely for
any prospective loss he might sustain, This

FATAL RESULT OF FoLLY.--On the 25th
ult., son of Mr.. Greer, of Fulton county,
Ohio, aged ID years, while his parents were
! from home, prepared a most fatal piece of
thoughtless folly. He and two younger
children we're in the cabin, when he ascend
ed the ladder to tho loft after halter,saying
to the others that he would hang himself
| The rope was tied to the ladder with one
end round his neck leaving it long enough
for him to walk upon the floor. Pulling a.
gainst the halter,the moose tightened, choak-
ing him. Grasping for breath, and unable
to release himself, he ran up to his play
mates sitting in front of the fire, who suppos-
ed he was in fun, making faces at them, and
told him to take care or lie would burn him
SELF The boy, unable to speak, and fast
losing his breath, then staggered round the
corner Of the chimney, and sat down out of
sight. In short time the others went to
see what he was about, and found the blood
running from his mouth. Before alarm
could bring the parents to his aid the poor
child was strangled to death. : Cincinnati,

THE FASHIONS IN BRoADwAY.-The
"Bloomers," in our city, even among our
fashionables, have carried the victory at last
but this is by beginning from the crown o
the head, and not from the sole of the foot
The frocks trail as much as ever-no pret.
ty foot even can be seen-and the only
sweeping the Crossings" have in many parts
of the city is with silks, mousselines, ant
carefully petticoats; but, from the
head dowDwards; Bloontef carries the day
There is nice little jaunty bonnet which
shows all the head and is about as useful as
hat,as covering, (no more)--but then
comes awaistcoat, a jacket, a short-taileC
frock coat. The woman is almost mar
now down to the waist; but, from the wais
down, shefs justas much woman as ever
AS proof, see the bellies of Broadway, fftf
Avenue, and its suburbs up town.-N Y. Er
