City, registered as man and wife.
Tie mother, who came up on Wednes-
day. discovered their whereabouts yester-
day. went to the @ queen City and encoun-
tered her daughter. The incidents Of the
meeting were such as would naturally
transpre between fond parent and her
child, separated under such painful cir
cumstances. The guilty cause of their af-
fiction avoided them, but was taken in
custody by the police. AT three o'clock,

Adams is said to have lived in the coun-

From the Sacramento Union we extract
the following:
The END OF THE Married, n
the Orleans House, last evening, at s o.
clock, by Justice j. b. Mitchell, Johr
Quincy Adams to Miss Emily Bond. Mr.
Adams expired Immediately after the cere
mcny was performed. He was informed
early in the evening that he could not sur
vive, and was requested to make all the
PREPARATION in his power, which he not only
consented to do, but seemed earnestly desi
rous oiat once marrying the girl whom he
had so grievoIsly wronged.
The mother was present, and gave hc'
consent to the marriage. The groom had
scarcely elapsed his bride to his bosom, ere
his spirit winged its fight from earth
The attending physician states that the in
tense mental excitement under which he
was laborng, FASTENED his death-that i
his mind had remained calm, he would
probably have survived until morning.
Judge Robinsin, who has from the frs
manifested deep in'eres, and heartfelt sym
pathy for the afflicted mother, readily OBJ
tanned the consent Of the daughter TO wee
her seducer, the former declaring that she
would forgive him all, if this ceremony
could be perfected
