RATHER ROMANTIC.

The Cincinnati Enquirer relates the fol-
lowing as an actual verify:
eve heard of an incident on Monday
last from the lips of Squire Taylor, which
partakes a great deal OF the romantic. but
which is none the less true In the fall OF
10, young man named Eleazer Fitch Left
here in company with Job Kendall ON a
flat boat, for New Orleans, the boat being
loaded with produce owned by the two men,
which they succeeded IN disposing of with
out difficulty. The whole receipts amount
ed to nearly $500 which they divided be-
tween them. Time passed, Mr.. Fitch did
not come home-much to the surprise of
his despairing wife, whom he had left be-
hind with Two children; nor could she gam
any intelligence of him after Mr.. Kendall
parted with him at New Orleans, to return,
1t is true the wife, soon after the arrival
of Mr.. X, received paper which contain
ed the announcement of the death of Fitch,
killed in gaming saloon, who hailed from
Cincinnati but still hope whispered that
It could not be her Observation-Disclosures he
came not. A few months over year flew
over her head, aud then she gave up that
her departed one must be lost. She had
been addressed by another, and frequently
importuncd to marry; and her condition in
life being none of the best, she yielded and
married Well, the long aud the short Of
the matter is that the bride lived very hap.
PLY with her new husband, until last Sun
day night, when who should walk into the
presence of the double wife, but Mr.. Fitch
HIMSELF OF course, scene ensued, but
no damage was done. lie then gave his
reason for his long absence. On the day
he received has money for his produce m
New Orleans, he went TO one OF the gam
bling bells aud lost all, shipped on the fol-
lowing day for California, with no liked pur-
pose, wen, into the employ OF Capt. Suffer
until the gold fever broke out, when he left
for the mines; succeeded IA gathering a
bout $1,000 in the dust, with which he star
ted for San Francisco, where he established
the first hotel that was opened in that place.
Fortune poured in upon him, and he con-
cuded to return home, and he did, as we
have stated, with a pocket full of rocks.
The romance IS TO come. He preferred
to take her again as a wife, and also the
little youngster she had by her second hus-
band, to which she consented, in despite of
all onstrances, as her last marriage was
not legal.
The next day Mr.. Taylor was called in,
and united for the second time in wedlock
the man and his wife who had been separa-
ted for term of years. They will return
in few days To California. Strange things
happen occasionally in this busy world.
