of them a distme-unhed member of Con-
gress from a .suulh.rn State, and the other
a distingaisherl ox e.lir from Kentucky,
concocted a letter purporting to be ails ms-
ed by a young lady to a very fine looking
gentleman. It was gel up in first rate sty 'e.
The pretended y-xing lady et forth there-

be upon a certain souare of a certain street
at precisely I o clock on th. folloaing flay,
in a dr.s which she described with great
psriieaiarity, and that she hoped and trut-

opportunity of a brief personal inter-
