Sad Condition of the Poet Saxe.
New York, June 25th—A.M.—The Sun says: The poet John G. Saxe is a confirmed, obstinate hypochondriac. He believes he is a hopeless invalid, grieves over his loss of political power, and imagines weakness and all sorts of disease that physicians can't detect. He has refused to go into company since the death of his daughter, Solace Saxe, June 5th, and even refused to go to the cemetery to bury her. He is no more the gay, witty, charming conversationalist, and cannot be prevailed on to take advice and prescription. His mind is apparently clouded by his grief.
