NEW YORK SENSATIONS.
Sensations follow each other in rapid succession in New York. It is only a week or two since the ‘Empire City” was startled by the death of a lady, the wife of a distinguished citizen, under circumstances most compromising to herself. Now we have a coachman suing for possession of his wife, the daughter of a millionaire, and until her strange escapade a leading belle of American society. It is difficult to answer the taste of woman, and the preference which the lady showed for hor father’s servant who is neither handsome nor refined is devoid even of the pretejice of sentiment. The lady is described as “ simply lovely.” However, the proverb, “ Marry in haste, repent at leisure,” has been proved in this strange case, for the bride soon grew disgusted with her boorish husband, and for more than a year has been lying perdu in a New York village. The husband has now tracked his wife, and has commenced proceedings in the Jaw courts with a view to compelling her to live with him.
