rived in this city some time ago,
in company with a female relative,
and is at present stopping at q
Broadway hotel.
A short time since Miss Maria
became engaged to a Mr.. Conklin,
of this city, and for short time
all went we'll. She was then re
siding in Jersey City, and has a
friend, an Englisbman, named
Henry Walker, who was also
smitten with her, but she seemed
to care nothing for him till a few
days ago, when she quarreled
with Conklin, and in moment
of anger and spite she went with
Walker to an Episcopal minister
and was married. After the cere.
nony was over her husband &C.
companied her home, but by the
time she reached the door real
izing sense of her fpolisEness took
possession of her, aud giving him
one kiss, she bade him depart and
never see her more.
Walker, who, it seems, loved
her dearly, has done all in his
power to get her to change her
mind, but she remains firm, and is
now trying to get a divorce. He
corresponds with her and address
ses her by her maiden name, and
she answers his letters, but they
carry no hope to his sad SOUL
The singular part of this singular
transaction is the fact that the girl
has made mp her quarrel with
Conklin, and he visits her nightly,
and they are to be married as soon
as she is legally free from her
present husband. Both parties
are well connected, and Mr.. Conk.

"THE horse that frets is the

ing of the horsemen, and it is inst
as trne of men as horses. The
man that allows himself to get ir.
ritated at every little thing that
goes amiss in his business, or in
the ordinary affairs of lite, is a
man that will generally accom-
plish but little and will wear out
early. He is a man for whom

He is a man with a perpetual

could pick in a day. She replied,
something over three hundred

pick. On weighing the result of
