ANOMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
An abducted Daughter Discovered
After an Interval Of TWenty-seven
Years-An Heircss.

The Taunton tMass.) Republican is re
sponsible for the following story:
A romance in real life, has just come
to light, and is at present the chief gossip
of this city. The facts as related by an
intimate acquaintance of the fortunate
family, are as follows:
1t appears that about twenty years
ago, Captain Brown, whose family re-
sided in Mattapoisett, was the Overseer of
the estate of Henry E. Clifton, a wealthy
gentleman of Richmond, Va. From some
cause which still remains secret, diff
Guilty arose between Captain Brown and
Mr.. Clifton, wherein the former consider
cd himself the aggrieved party. To re-
venge himself for the supposed wrong, he
stole Mr.. Clifton's infant daughter Chen
but six weeks olD on the day she was
christened. The child was brought to
Mattapoisett, and secretly adopted by
Brown and his wife as their OVID. She
was named Julia, and grew to be woman.
When only sixteen years old, she married
Mr.. Isaac o. Pierce, a printer, who learn
ed his trade in Fall River. Several years
ago they moved to Taunton, living for a
while at East Taunton, but more recently
at the Green. Two children have been
borne to them, one of whom is now living.
During this long period, Mrs. Pierce has
lived in blissful ignorance of her high
palentage, and Mr.. Pierce, who took her
for better or worse, had never imagined
himself the husband of an heiress. He
abandoned the printers trade shortly after
learning it, and for several years has earned
his daily bread by the sweat of his brow,
at Mr.: Mason's works in this city. Thisis
their history until within very short
time. Now comes the denouement.
Last summer while Rev. Mr.. Talbot, OF
this city, was at Saratoga, he became
acquainted with Mr.. Clifton and wife, who,
it appears, at the breaking out of the e.
bellion, converted their Richmond prop.
erty into cash, and moved to Baltimore.
In the course of conversation with them.
Mr.. Talbot remarked upon the striking re.
semblance of Mrs. Clifton to a lady par
ishioner of his in Taunton. Nothina
particular was thought of it at first; but
on his repeating the remark, Mrs. Clifton
inquired the age of the lady. On being
informed that she was about twenty.
seven, Mrs. Clifton Immediately said to
her husband, "Why, that would be jus,
the age of our daughter that was
stolen"
The matter then received their seriou;

The REBEL GEN. HOLMES A ST.. PAULITE.
All of our old settlers will remember H.
Holiness formerly of the firm of Holmes, Payte
i. Buechner, surveyors and engineers, of this
CITY. The firm was well known during the
land speculation times of 1856 and 1857, and
Holmes flourshed on the top wave of pres
perity. He was clever, sociable man Gan
Englishman by birth, we beleve.) and owned
considerable real estate at one time here.
Well, when the rebellion broke--Out Holmes
Was in the South, whittier he had gone like
many other St. Paul men, to recruit his for
tunes. Holmes espOused the cause of the c.
s. A. with all his heart, enlisted in the rebel
armv. and as he was man Of talent, and a fine
engineer, rose to the rank, in time, of Briga.
der General He was taken prisoner by Sher-
idan recently, and sent with lot of other pris-
oners to Johnson's Island, in Lake Erie. We
had frequently read of rebel General Holmes
but never knew that it was our old st. Paul
friend.
His former partner, w. p. Payte, Esq, got
n letter from him few days ago, detailing the
above facts, and begging the loan OF green
hack to purchase some necessarleS WIN.
While feeding on the husks of rebellion, ''Gen-
eral" Holmes has probably sighed more than
once for his old home and his Old friends 10
St. Paul.
