The ST. Louis Republican relates singu-
lar incident, which lately occurred at Caron-
dalet, Mo. A Mr.. G., some four years ago,
went away to the wars with Gen. Price,
! leaving a wife and two children. Hearing
nothing from her hus band, the woman, after
time, yielded to the sympathy and love Of
u neighbor, Mr.. Turner, and married him
Fresh olive buds were added to the family
wreath, and every thing went smoothly. On
Monday last, however, the original Mr.. g..
entered the domicil Of the happy Mr.. and
Mrs. turner. After the first surprise was
over the three calmly seated themselves to
consider the anomalous position OF the par
lies toward each other. After full exposi-
ton Of their sentiments, the two men started
down the street, leaving the lady of their
| desires to make her decision unintfuenced by
either. When the two returned the lady an
nounced that che had chosen to cling to her
last love. Mr.. g., though evidently disap-
pointed. acquiesced, only claiming his child
rem as blood of his blood. The claim could
not be cortroverted, aud the father and
children quietly and sadly babe adieu to the
woman they had known as wife and mother
and departed for the South.
