New York Society Gossip.

The New York correspondent of the
Buffalo Commercial Advertiser furnishes
that paper with the following, which
may interest some of IL lady readers:
The approaching Easter weddings
are the subject of much pleasant Cos
sip in fashionable circles. One of the
finest will be that of the Viscount Man
deville to Miss Yznega del Vale. The
Viscount is u son of the Duke of Man
chester of England, and only knew the
lady a few weeks before he became en-
gagged to her. She is justly called one
of the most beautiful women in Amer
lea. Her beauty is of the Spanish type,
and she is tall, stately, and remarkably
graceful. Her trousseau will be the
finest and most elaborate ever prepared
for an American lady, and the gossips
say the house that is to prepare it has u
carte blanche order for $4,000. The
wedding will take place in Mayat Trim
ity Chapel. Four of the prettiest bellies
in society will be bridesmaids, and an
English nobleman will be best man."
groomsmen being dispensed with.
Bishop Potter and the Rev. Morgan
Dix will perform the ceremony. The
Duke of Manchester and family are ex-
pected from England about the 18th of
April.
The next swell wedding will be that
of James Gordon Bennett to Miss May.
Several churches have been designated
by the busybodies for the ceremony,
which will take place the third We'd
nesday in April. Miss May belongs to
the Boston family of that name, and is
a very pretty young lady-fresh, witty,
and what English people call "clever."
Her wedding outfit will be as grand and
elaborate as any unlimited outlay of
money can make it. Mr.. Bennett has
given his iiancee some very beautiful
gifts in jewels, apearl set costing $500
to import. She will wear point lace
over white satin looped up with natural
orange flowers and buds. Mr.. Bennett
is having his house at Newport prepared
for its future mistress, and is also build
ing n large steam yacht. His enter
tainments during the summer are look
ed forward to with much interest and
pleasure by his friends and associates.
Mr.. Bennett is probably the richest
young nan in New York. His income
from the Herald is over half a million,
and he has the rent of his house at Fort
Washington and a hotel which he lately
boughtin Paris in addition. He has a sail
ing and steam yacht, town and country
houses, no less than twenty thoroughbred
horses, packs upon packs of hounds, a
dozen carriages, 4 four-in-hand coach'
ponies, and a newspaper! He is a
member of the Yacht, Jockey, and Tn
ion Clubs, also the Newport Gun Club,
Vice President of the Coaching Club,
President of the Polo and Rink Clubs,
and honorary member of the chief clubs
in London, Paris, Berlin, and Vienna.
Another heightened affair will be the
wedding of Assistant-Pe Postmaster Pier
son to Miss James, daughter of Col. T..
l.. James, the Postmaster, and the best
we have ever had. This wedding will
take place Immediately after Lent, at
one of the Episcopal churches up town.
Miss James is a charming young lady,
possessed of beauty and talents beyond
the average demoiselle in fashionable
society to-day. A portion of her trous-
scar has been imported. She will wear
white silk, and be attended by brides
maids.
Still another fashionable marriage
will be that of Fernando Woods daugh-
ter to Mr.. Cheoweth, a Washington
lawyer, which will be solenmnized at
St. Bartholomew, in April. Every
thing comprising Miss Woods trousseau
has been imported, as was the
outfit of her sister who married
a Mr.. Hagadorn, a year ago. There
will be twenty reception dresses, and
an equal number for house and ordi-
nary wear. Bonnets and round hats
there will be in great numbers and va
riety; likewise package upon package
of fashionable triiles and knicknacks
for female %adornment. Miss Wood is
better known in Washington society
than she is here. She has beauty, and
has been highly educated, and has very
winning and fascinating manners.
Other weddings will be those of
Chandler Robbins to Senator Freling-
huyscn's daughter; Moses II. Grinnell,
ext Collector of the Port, to Miss Read,
sister to Mrs. Paran Stevens; Mr..
Brooks to Miss Tappen, one of the
