SOCIAL GOSSIP.
Mrs. wharton.

Our community was fearfulTy startled
last week by an event that came home to
one and all Of our social world. We al
luie. of course, to the sudden death of old
General Ketchum, the sickness of Col. Van
Ness, and the charge of murder preferred
against Mrs. Wharton, widow of the late
Major Wharton Of the regular army.
The people are not only known to the
fashionable circles of the National Capital,
but were noted personages. Only few
days since the corpulent General Ketchum,
under his brown wig, grizzly whiskers and
genial face might have been seen at any
hour either walking or driving upon our ave-
nue..
AS for the lady charged with this horri-
BILE crime, she is well known to the best
classes of both Washington and Baltimore,
and was the last person in the world to be
suspected of crime. Mrs. Wharton must
be 'fifty-five or sixty years Of age; of
medium height and slender figure, she
appeared comedy for her age, and is proba-
bly, younger in appearance than in fact.
She is somewhat eccentric, made so pro-
badly by her late husband, who was ex-
ceedingly queer. We knew him wellwhile
stationed at Baltimore during the late war.
He was mastering officer at that post.
Many amusing stories were told of his odd
ways. He had his Office extremely neat,
the floor being polished every day, and
Those infer al denominations called spittoons
carefully washed out and put in place. One
day while swearing in private, the man,
in the midst Of the oath, expectorated a
quantity of tobacco over the floor. The
Major stopped suddenly, and looked at the
fellow with great severity. "
eIIow dare you spit on my floor while
/ am administering the solemnity of an
oath, eh ?'' ifl'G7a f4t
II beg pardon, Captain, I forgot" .'e@
swell, don't try it again or I'll kick you
out. You solemnly swear-damn it--hold
up your right hand,o &c. Pa. lifi a.i5
On another occasion, while administering
the oath to company in the street before
his office, a wagon, drawn by four mules,
came rafting along. The Major in the
midst of the ceremony roared to his order
ly, "Stop that wagon. Don't that damned
fool see that am engaged in administering
an oath? Now, men, hold up your hands
again. III begin once more
OF course all sorts of wild rumors are in
circulation concerning the event, and the
poor woman is charged with more murders
t IAN are necessary to make a Borgla. "A
friend, a lady well acquainted with the
family, writes us from Baltimore letter
not intended for publication, but from
which we venture to take few extracts.
They read as follows:
1--WE were just setting downto tea when
Mr.. - said, another sudden death at
Mrs. Wharton's.' e,, er
5"We all. of course, asked the name.
