A BIT OF RoaANcE.-About six years ago. n
| Dr. H, having become involved in debt. left
his home and wife in another State for Texas for
the purpose of improving his fortunes ia a place
where.he would be free from the demands of
| camorous creditors. In the course of time he
went with the army to Mexico, and finally wend-
ed his way to California. After residing there
some time, he met young man from the place
OF his former residence, who, however, he did
not know, and inquired OF him if he knew his
wife, whom he described, without, however.
ceiling him the relation he bore to her. Tho
young man replied that Mrs. H was his sis
ter, and the last he heard of her she was in ST.
Louis. After accommodating competence, DIR.
H left for St. Louis, for the purpose of seek
ing his wife, who had long since given him up as
dead. In st. Louis he learned that she had left
that place some time previously, and was believed
to be in New Albany. He came hither. and
upon inquiry learned that she was earning live
hood by sewing. He learned that she also be-
eved her brother to be dead, Enot having heard
from him for many years. DIR. H went to
the house where he understood his wife was liv-
ing, but found she had left there few DAYS be-
fore. He inquired about her general conduct
and demeanor, and fou nd that it had always been
unexceptionable. She spoke but little of her
husband but told every that she considered
him dead The lady of whom DIR. H was
making inquiries discovered that he was the long
iost husband. ana oflered TO accompany him to the
house where his wife was sewing. Upon ar
irving there she said to her, ..Mrs. H here
is a gentleman who saw your brother in Califor-
MA She appeared astonished, looked at the
vlster, bntapparenty did not recognise him.
he brushed back his hair, and said quickly. ELIZA,
don'tyou know met" Mrs. H Immediately
swooned away, and fell on the floor. In the
same moment husband aud brother, both sup
posed to be dead. were restored to her DR..
H. as we have said, has returned with a
competence, and the supposed widow, it is pre-
sumed, will no longer sew for q livelihood
The above statement, are assured, is strict
~ correct. Here is in real life, equal in

ofthe Investigator and fhs discovery Of the North

with the letters and journals of Commander Nc
Clure.l a :.
endeavor to acquaint you with the substance oft,
that their lordshps may thus be early informed of
the leading features of the Investigators discove-
ries but, ere enter into this matter, deem il to
be my duty TO acquaint their lordshps with the
result of the expedition have the honor to COM
mand; and, though have carried out their lord
ships instructions the letter. and trust 10 their
entire satisfaction, it has not been without great
diiculty, considerable peril to the safety Of this
vessel and the total loss Of the Breadabane trans
port, without the loss Of single life.
This unfortunate event, which occurred on the
morning Of the 21st Of August, off Beechey island,
no human power could have ayerted, and my own
vessel which at that time had the transport actu-
ally in tow, barely escaped a similar fate, receiv-
ing severe nip, which raised the stern several
feet, and arched the quarter deck, destroying the
rudder and screw; one Of the beams forward was
sprung and the port bow partially stove, breaking
one ofthe riders and forcing in the panking, This
latter damage there is some doubt may have been
sustained in a heavy gale on the morning of the
18th Of August, when the ship was severely NIP
