MARRIAGE ny rnE TE.EaR ApH.--The follow.
ing extraordinary occurrence is related by one
Of ovr exchanges: .....
at appears that a certain young lady,
daughter OF one of the wealthicst merchants
in Boston, had formed an tachment for hand.
some young man, who was a clerk in her
fathers conting-room, and had determined
to have him for better or worse, although her
father had previously given her hand to another
suitor.
The lady's father having heard of this attach.
ment, feigned ignorance, bat determined to
brcak it of, and give his daughter to the gentle
man he had promised her. For this purpose he
directed the young man to take passage in one
OF the steamers that left New York and pro.
coed to England, and transact some business
for him there, The lover accordingly came to
New York, but meantime, the young lady got
some knowledge OF her fathers intentions, and
sent message by telegraph to that effect to
her lover in New York,
The cxpedient the two lovers tcsotted to for
accomplishing tuOu ueoNCs uuu uCtCutUS tuC
fathers views, was novel and extraordinary.
She took her stand in the telegraphc Office in
Boston, and he did the same. with a magistrate,
in The office in New York, and with the aid Of
tho lightning, they were made bone Of one bone
and Ae.h of one flesh. This is certainly apply.
ing this invention TO a purpose never contem.
plated by Professor Morse, and exhibits great
deal of ingenuity.
A few days since, the lady's father insisted
upon her marriage with the gentleman he Sc
lected for her. and as might be expected, he was
anna zcd when she told him she was already the
wife Mr. B., and the manner in which The
ceremony was performed. MI B. followed his
employers directions and went in the steame
to England. The merchant have heard, il
taking measures to contest the validity Of ,h,
marriage.
