In New York, on Wednesday afternoon the
Tenth Ward Police were called to take a man
out Of a bath house in the Bowery, where he
was cutting some curious antics He appeared
sane and sober when he was furnished room;
but he had been in but few moments when he
began to throw his clothes over the door hav-
ing saturated them with water; the looking
glass, muslin on the shower bath, the clothes
press; every thing, indeed, that he could handle
followed suit, and laid in promiscuous mass
outside the entrance when the police arrived.
Breaking in the door, they found the madman
under the shower, with his face turned up, his
mouth open, and the water pouring down-he
trembling and hardly able to stand, and groan-
ing with pain. Being taken out ne yelled ter
rlfcally, calling the police (who were holding
hlm) and crying murder, and would at first
permit no clothes to be put on him, tearing
everything to threads. He was taken to Black

A Cincinnati merchant, who, a year or two
ago, got cowhiding for his gallantry, is con-
siderably mixed up in another very awkward
scrape. His wife, wishing to visit her relatives
In the country, he consented to her absence, on
condition that pretty cousin should be left as
hOusekeeper. 1t was done. The husband and
his wile's cousin harmoniZed so well that ru-
mOrs reached his wife which induced her to re-
turn home at night, and enter it with latch
key. She hurried to her own and her hus-
bands bed chamber; the door was locked but
she heard voices from within, and one a wo-
an's-and that voice, il is said, was - Jen-
ME s." The vile invited the proprietor of the
voice to come out, in tones anything but
pleasant. Jennie did not accept the invita-
ton, but, terribly alarmed, crawled out of the
window upon shed, in apparel more interest
ing than profuse, dreading the fury of the out
ragged wife. Jennie, with her solitary robe.
was seen by the neighbors, and we fear they
rather laughed at than sympathised with the
poor disconsolate, whose appearance was about
to be punished as a crime. When last heard
from, Jenny sat weeping in her model artistic
costume, on the shed the wife laundering at
the door, in tears of jealous anger; the Rus-
band, wanting to appease his wife and shield
Jennie, (she needing shielding in her then con-
dition,) and knowing not how to do either. The
matter makes great talk
