some days ago We gave a Synopsis Of the Pc
dtion of Emily B. Fry. Of Philadelphia, to the
Pennsylvania Legislature, for 4 divorce from
Horace B. Fry, her husband, after short and
brilliant matrimonial career OF just one month";
lacking a couple Of days The Philadelphia
correspondent of the Boston Courier gives US a
short biographical sketch Of the parties to this
divorce. tits as follows:
OLD MI. GEIGG.
Old Mr. Grigg the hther Of Mrs Fry, is emil
nent amongst PhiIadelphians. and his wealth
ranges in public estimation from one million
and half certain, to five million perhaps Al
though aged and gray he IS physically as well
as financially sound. He has been in print:
In the wear 1851, an elaborate account OF Mr..
Griggs mercantile career was published IN
Huats NerekGnts Mog0zine, and extensively
circulated throughout the country, and his Por-
trait, with signature, in very bold proud charac-
tiers, adorns many a wall in this city, and IN
other places whittier his fame as a merchant
prince has extended. Mr.. Griggs private man
sion is one of the most elegant residences in this
city, and never fails TO attract the gradhed at
teniion of the pedestrian whose way lies along
Walnut street above 18th, there, in the very
heart of our fashionable West End, 1t IS situat-
ed It's Internal appointments are all on scale
Of expensive righteousness, and 1t ever plain
American citizens house deserved the title
"palatial," the house Of Sir. John GEigg IS SO
deserving.
Emily has always been nursed in the lap OF
luxury and fed with golden spoon Those
who have known her most intimately describe
her natural disposition to be capricious, petu-
liant, and cruelty exacting Miss Grigg.s mind
is of bright, eager and reauy turn, and IN par
lor accomplishments she is By no means back
ward. The young lady has, of late years,
graced the festivities Of her circle 10 great ex:
tent, appearing at the principal parties and
other entertainments with FINISHED" regularity.
Justice compeis me to add that Miss Emily l..
Grigg's personal attractions are by no means in-
considerable. Hertype Of beauty is Kaleidoscope
dark and earnest. Her figure, which is grace
fully proportional and moved, lends charm to
the promenade, and witchery to the dance.
Mr.. FRY.
Mr. Horace B. Fry, belongs to a strongly
marked family. OF the four brothers Fry now
living, the most eminent, in public sense, IS
William H., (onc of tie editors of the n. Y.
Tri6uae,) whose eccentric genius is one of the
Iuxuries Of journalism, and whose critical knowl-
edge of music is as profound and varied as that
of any other man in this country. Horace b.
has been an indispensable society man IN this
city for many years, and universally admired,
no less for his pleasant accomplishments than
for his invariably agreeable and refined man
ners. He is fluent in the modern languages, in
conversation always attractive and sometimes
brilliant, n fine musician and nicely critical on
points of arts, and sweet" dancer-all the
ladies say so. He it was who led on the first
partner in the particularly may dance which
inaugurated our Academy Of Music No .Jete
has been complete without him, and in all his
social activities he has, so far as your cores
pondent knows, done nothing TO impair his
reputation. which is that of polished and pc.
lite gentleman. His busiaesS-stock and bill
brokerage-is shared by an older brother, and
the firm bears an unblemished name on Third
street In appearance Mr.. II. b. Fry is mid
dc.a aged. His leaturs are regular and handsome
he is of medium stature-his dress is always
tasteful and elegant
THAT WEST PoIST CADET.
With Mr. Wagner, the West Point Cadet,
who figures so conspicuously and unpleasantly
in the affair, the list of the principal dramatis
persona closes. He is young man OF respecta-
BILE origin, and honest, hard working cOnnec-
tons His mother has for some time past, kept
small trimmings store on Arch street, and his
fniher is an employee at the Custom House
His position at West Point is creditable to his
