I met him in the street on the day after.

There was a heavy cloud on his brow.

Various rumors were afloat.

One was--it came from a person just arrived from Saratoga--that Mr.Dewey surprised his wife in a moonlight walk with a young man for whom he had no particular fancy, and under such lover-like relations, that he took the liberty of caning the gentleman on the spot.

Great excitement followed.
