A Romancs OF Real Life.

Some sixteen years since q young man in
New York contrived awhile to pay his address
es to beautiful girl there, the daughter Of O
merchant, who was opposed to the young man
visiting bis daughter. He persisted in his en-
deavors to win the young lady, and at last was
forbidden the cid mans house.
Still the lovers continued to meet occasionally
afterward, and at the expiration Of some six
mohths, matters having been previously arran-
ged, the girl consented to marry the youth. He
did not seek her fortune for he was in employ
ment, at handsome salary, as principal book
keeper in an extensive jobbing house, and his
pecuniary prospects were very fair But the
parents were obdurats, and be was driven from
the house.
AT the end of twelvemonth they agreed to
be married and the requisite arrangements
were made, the evening fixed upen, aud even
the chaplin had been engaged; but on the morn
ing of the day proposed secretly for the nuptials
the whole plan was discovered, and the match
broken off peremptorly by the absolute author
ity of the parents.
Time passed on; the daughter was sent to q
distant part Of the country for a while; the
young man was disappointed and dsheartened,
and left New York for the west, where he re-
mained for two years. Mean time person to
suit the tastes of the parents turned up-a man
of considerable means, but old enough to be
the young girls father, and match was arrang-
ed. after long persuasion, between Emma and
this man, and she welded him at last.
Three years subsequently the young man
found himself in New England where he settled
and took wife also, and some dozen years
passed away, with their changes Of place, of
circumstances and fortune. From the time Of
separation the original lovers had never met.
The young man became the father ofthree little
ones; and then lost tive of these which bereave-
ment was soon after followed by the death of
his wife. Time few by; he had been made for
tunate in his business. and resided few miles
out of Boston, surrounded by the comforts of
life, and in the enjoyment Of the society Of his
little daughter
One day he was returning home in the after
noon. and upon entering the cars found them
to be full. He sought seat, and found enc
partly occupied by lady about thirty years of
age, beside whom he sat down, and the cars
soon moved out of the depot. As they entered
into the light, he suddenly turned to the lady
and exclaimed, 'Madame Emma! Is this your"
A mutual explanation quickly succeeded
Our widowed friend ascertained that his former
intended was now on her way to the North up
on a visit; that she had been married nearly
eleven years had but one child living and her
husband had been dead over two years.
He pointed out his pretty cottage as the cars
passed on, but did not leave the train. He pro-
ceeded forward-renewed his acquaintance
found the lady her own mstress-proposedt to
her again-and we record the fact with no ordi-
nary degree of pleasure, that within three
weeks the lovers were united in marriage in the
city Of Boston.

One of the ROsenhlem Murderers shot, and
one Captured
The Siskiyou Chronicle of the 18th inst, learns
from Mr.. Riley, of Crescent City, that he, with
a large party, started in pursuit of the murder
ers.
"Mr Riley Immediately proceeded to Sailor
Diggings aud reported the occurrence, and set
parties to watch for any who might appear who
answered the description given by Lewis of the
robbers, while another party started in another
direction, and soon struck their trail, which
they followed to the cabin Of three brothers
named Eli, Bill and Millard Judd, and man
known as Oregon Jack, whose real name is
John Marshall. This cabin is about five miles
above Happy Camp, on the klamath, and the
party proceeded to surround it. While doing
20. they started up the men from the bushes
near the house, and as they started to run, one
OF the pursuing party snapped his gun Bill
Judd, but it missed fire.
The next barrel went off, however, and al
though Bill had got pretty good distance, the
shot took effect as was proved by the blood
which marked his course to the river. Here al
traces of him disappeared, and whether he at
tempted to swim the river and was drowned, or
escaped is not known. Millard was captured
but Eli and Marshall escaped. Mr. Riley traced
them into Scott Valley, since when no trace of
them has been discovered as yet, although there
are strong hopes that those who are now in
pursuit of them will succeed in bringing them

The CAUsE.-A correspondent Of the Sonora
Democrat gives the following particulars of the
cause of the late fatal duel at Stockton between
Blair and easy in which the latter was killed:
"Casy had made some remarks about a lady
whom Blair was paying attentions to. Blair
called on easy at bis ranch. and asked him TO
retract. easy refused. Blair then verbally
challenged him. easy refused OH the ground
that there was no need of difficulty, as they
had been basom friends up to that moment.
Blair went to Stockton [llth September] and
told some Of Casy's friends that he had spat ia
Casy's face. easy went there next day and
pronounced Blair's words false. Meeting Blair
at the Webber house, easy denounced him as q
liar and slapped his face several times. Blair
Immediately challenged him, and the challenge
was accepted They fought on the race course
Yesterday morning [l5th September with six
shooters, at ten paces--to fire at the word and
continue firing till one or the other fell. Blair's
first shot took effect upon easy in the feshy
part of the hip. Casy's first missed. The sec
ond shot hung frc-when both ceased. Friends
then endeavored to reconcile matters, but to
no parpose, as Blair still insisted that he had
spat ia Casy's face, and easy said he had not
Fifteen minutes elapsed, during which time
Casy had bled very much, but both were ready
to fight. They took their pistols and fired sX
shots each-three Of which took effect upon Ca
sy. Blair being untouched. 1t is said to have
been one Of the truest and coolest fights that
ever took place Though easy had four balls
in him. be walked thirty or forty yards before
he showed symptoms of weakness"

FIRE AT ORovILLE.-A fire broke out at Oro-
vile at about o'clock on Monday morning, as
we learn from the Butte Record, Tin building
lust out the limits Of the town on the Lynch
burg road. whereby considerable property was
destroyed aud several persons we're left without
their homes and places of business. The fire
originated in building owned and occupied
by a Mr. Coleman as a dwelling house. From
Coleman's house the flames communicated to a
building occupied by Robert Conrey as a drink
ING bous. and owned by VIM. Cony. The dwell
ing house and shop of Mr.. Gridley-a carpenter
next caught from whence the flames crossed
the road to the house of Mr. Boucher and his
wife, that occupied by Mr.. Firth, and the resi-
dence of the Rev. Mr.. Burton which were all
burned to the ground. Other dwellings in the
vicinity were only saved by the exertions of the
Butte Engine Company and the neighbors and
others who were on the ground.
The amount of property destroyed is valued
in the aggregate at 81, 900 or thereabouts."
Two men, named Michael Kelly and John
Welch we're arrested on the charge of having
purposely originated the fire.

An officer in the army, writing from camp
on the Gila where supplies for the troops en-
gagged in the campaign against the Apaches
have been collected, describes the country ad-

charging n considerable volume of water. skirt
ed Oh both sides with cottonwood trees, and an

currant bushes. The country is interesting, on
account of the ruins Of buildings and Enclosures
seen everywhere, and the pieces of broken pot

was once densely populated cannot be doubted,
and by a race far In advance of the present In
dian occupants, in arts and architecture, tnelr

prove. In front of my tent are the ruins oil

for the antiquarian, but will scarcely be known

his people has tradition of Montezuma, and Of
