TRUE LOVE NEVER RUNS SMOOTH,

A romantic marriage took place at Mazona-
mia, Wisconsin, last week. The groom was a
returned Californian, who left his wife for the
auriferous land some seven years ago, and the
bride the wife that was left. she heard that he
never intended to return, and obtained a di-
vOrce. Two or three days since he called upon
her. Old affections revived, faith was plighted
anew, and he led her to the altar the second
time.
A gentleman of New Orleans, who had been
away, pleasantly surprised" his wife by COM
lnS IN the house and up stairs at midnight, but
did not observe in the dim light that she had a
lady companion, sisterin-law, sleeping with
her. He approached the bed, and was about to
arouse his lady, when her bed mate suddenly
awakened, and, intensely alarmed, screamed
loudly, "Oh-h-h, Man In the roOm,'' The
scream was hardly heard, when the spunk y
little wife started from her sleep, with pistol
In her hand, which she had snatched from be-
meath her pillow, and presented il to the intru-
der breast, who caught her arm, and took the
most sudden measures to bring about a recog-
milton of his spousal identity.
A Western correspondent of the New York
Journal of Commerce, writing from the Indian
country, says a woman has been the cause of
numberless wars, battles and personal conflicts;
and, strange to say, she was the origin of the
prOtracted war between the Sioux and Chippe-
was. The two nations must have formerly been
friendly, and at peace with each other, until a
rupture took place at Yellow Lake, on the ST.
CrOix. There, as the story goes, the tribes met
Tor tete-G-lcfe, and, when they came to sepa-
rate, the wife of a noted Chippewa chief went
on with Sioux. The Chippewa followed and
overlook them, and killed the guilty pair whom
he found sitting side by side. The friends of
the Sioux avenged his death, and there has
been war ever since. So much for Indians.
A certain Miss E, (the daughter Of a respec-
table merchant of the city of Brooklyn,) young,
pretty, and quite fascinating, changed her state,
and entered the bonds of connubial bliss with a
certain Mr. D., some evenings SINCE in quite a
romantic manner. Itappears that Miss Z was
keeping company with, and engaged to be mar
ricd to, a certain Mr.. H., also Of Brooklyn :;
that Mr.. ii. took Miss E. and sister on pleas
ure excursion down the Bay that Miss f be-
came acquainted while on the excursion with
this Mr.. ID, and that she, taking offense at the
attentions which her intended was paying to one
of the young ladies on board, left him entirely,
and amused herself, as best she could, with Mr
ID. On the return of the pleasure party, Miss
refused to 90 with Mr.. H., who thereupon
walked on with her sister Miss NJ, in the
meantime, having taken Mr. d. s arm, walked
on with him. The two couples soon separated
Mr.. II. took the sister home, but Mr.. d. and lady
had disappeared. Miss Z. was away from home
all night, and did not arrive until next morn
ing, when she formally introduced herself to her
anxious parents as Mrs. D., and informed them
Of the circumstances attending her absence
The old gentleman was quite outraged until he
found that his son-in law was eligible when his
wrath suddenly subsidized and, on being pre-
sented to Mr.. D., he gave him a warm embrace
and babe him welcome to the family.
The ST. Louis Republican says: We hear of
a romantic affair between a couple of young
people, terminating in the suicide of one Of
the parties, by drowning. 1t would appear
that for some time an attachment had existed
between r Hughes, of this city, and young
lady OF St. Clair, Ill, contrary to the wishes
of the latter's parents. A few days ago was ar
ranged between the lovers to be married clandes-
timely, at house on Myrtle street, in st. Louis
The time fixed was Wednesday. On going to
the rendezvous at the appointed time, young
Hughes, instead Of meeting the bride, found a
letter stating that she had started for this city,
but had been overtaken by her father, who
compelled her to return and promise solemnly
never to marry her afianced. Yesterday morn
ine, b hat and snuff box were found on the
bank of the river, in the lower part of the city,
and in the latter a note, signed by Hughes,
stating that he had destroyed himself on ac-
count Of his disappointment.
