\ STORY ABOUT CALIFoRNIANs-Ro
NANCE IN REAL LIrE-We find the fol-
lowing in an English paper
A wedding has taken place this week
realizing the old adage that "truth is
strange, stranger than a fiction" 1t ap-
pears, so far as the facts have come to our
knowledge, that sister of a Mrs ".
who resides at Montpelier, some two OF
three years since married mechanic, the
lady herself being in somewhat straight
ened circumstances. They emigrated to
California soon afterwards, with view of
lettering their fortunes, but prior to this,
as a memorial to take with her, She had
the likeness Of an unmarried sister Of Mrs
N-taken, and this likeness WAS hung
in a very conspicuous part of the house
in which they resided in California This
unmarried sister, we premise. is possessed
of conSid rail personal attractions and her
portrait attracted the attention of rich
>pe culator of that district, who happened
20 pay a visit at the house He was AT
once enraptured with the image of the fair
unknown, and with true California excite
ment exclaimed :-"By Joye, III marry
that girl, if she is to be found in the world y
He was told where she resided, and he
sent note, enclosing a present Of $40,
and subsequently, posted another letter,
addressed to Mrs. N, containing a
similar present. These gifts proved very
acceptable, although, of course, the donor
was quite unknown. A few weeks since,
however, knock was heard at the door,
and, on the young lady going to open it,
4 good looking bronzed featured gentle
man rushed into the house and gave her a
chastc salute, cxclaimng "that he had
come from the other end Of the world to
find her )" at the same time pulling out
the likeness which first led him to seek
| this object Of attraction. AS the novel
lists say, the sequel may be easily imag
ined, and that week the nuptial knot was
tied The wedding was very gay one,
it attracted considerable notice in the
neighborhood, and it was the unanimous
opinion that the lady was well worthy the
good fortune she had met with, and that
the gentleman possessed in her treasure
worth more than houses or lands.
