By regular measurement Jersey is Asma} State. Indeed, its dimensions are admit ad hag most Mmited in jhe Union. But niobwithet that, ‘by no means disciediiabie drawback—altogetner aide from the dubious celebrity of ite whiskey, its maud ponds, barrenness and misty lookh—in love affaires, racy, rich and queer ones, Jersey eats Bannagher, which, according to tradition, far out shines His Satanic Majesty. Quiet observation and a@ retentive memory will ald materially in convincing many that while the appleyack demesne 4s not unknown to history for the learning and bravery of its calculating citizens, its reputation for Fomantic elopements, matrimonial diMoultjes, strange developments, rare shooting cases aud to- teresting hanging matoles, Jersey can hold ite own with its more pretentious neighbors, Looseness— Say irregular living—and scandal are two import- Qntelements that form the subject of a great deal of spicy comment in some parts of théLightning” State, and although such iatters must be handied ‘With dogskin gloves, there is yet much in them to suggest THE MUTABILITY OF HUMAN AFFAIRS. ‘The most recent event which bas set Mrs. Grundy’s Tongue in motion occurred 4 few days ago and has been duly curovicled; but since the details were wot fully given, since,in fact, the cream of the story was laid carefully in a neat frame house, it ‘will not be amiss to retrace one’s steps to the ground and unravel the mystery of one of the most singular, ludicrous, though tragic, occurrences that Dave distinguished Jersey. Spottswood is a pretty village some ten miles from New s#runswick, in Middlesex connty—pretty in summer time, no doubt, though its aspect now 18 far from inviting, however well looking the visitor waay be, As previously stated In the HERALD a “variety wedding’—a sort of rural benefit—was Fiven toa married couple, and the occasion was rendered sociable and entertaining by fiddlers and Tie story goes on to say that about jock, while Che country folks were shaking “the hee) and toe,” and wurming np to their work generally, a wet blanket was thrown on the fes- fiviues vy the following startiimg occurrence, Which in point of sensation rivals tne sudden pause im the gay scene at Brussels before the Batue of Waterioo, Douptiess some Jersey Byron will give atterance to his thoughts on the subject before Jong :—A Mr. Jernee, breiher to the proprietor of the hote}, for whom, as well as his accommodating Partner, the entertainment was gotten up, cbanced to walk On the piazza of the hotel, and observed at bh es8 fa) can er light wi » wh treache: and there passengers form oi desolat now and tnep, ¢! an anaes! ater ta if rain. = a8 awe sel OI ,, . = hight, an tore pidoe arrived at, and preparations by way gate were commenced, the farther ond a handsomely creased stranger, Btrutung about with an alr that betokened GRACE, WEALTH AND PAST HORSES. ;The style of the stranger struck the man Jernee, id the latter fivally invited his to the festivities, But the “‘nobby young man” deciinea all overtures end continued his promenade.

Without fear of contradiction it may be safely asserted that the members of the Jernee family are not enthusiasiic admirers of Mrs. Chauncey ; indced one might venture to say that the female portion of that domestic circle 13 rather ferociously disposed towards the Nerone of the drama. Miss Jeruce is not wanting in rusti¢e attractiveness, and Mrs. Grandy, with her usual poldness, had the impudence to aflrm that Snowhill was actually paying court in that direction.
