Interesting Story Of the War.
Truth Stranger than Fiction.


There is now living in this city a
family, the history of which forms
something so romantic as to consti-
tute a most interesting story:
In the summer of 1859, Charles Ge-
roux became graduate of college
in the southern part of this State.
He was the descendant of an aristo-
cratic family who lived in Louisiana,
and to be brief, he was then full en-
bodiment of the "chivalry," Just hav-
ing entered his majority; While at
tending college he had formed the ac-
quaintance of Clara O., who at
tended a college for young ladies in
this city, which acquaintance ripened
into attachment and love, and, Just be-
fore the breaking out of the rebellion,
they We're married, and removed
South. Miss c. was an or
phan, possessed of considerable
property, which was held in trust by
her uncle, Southern minister, who
had raised her from infancy, and per-
sonally superintendent her education.
In addition to the endowments of n
collegiate education she was possessed
of strong character, bordering on
the masculine, but tempered with II
sweetness and mildness not often COM
bined in the same person. She was
at once handsome and womanly.
Within a year after their marriage
and settlement in the South, came the
fierce, wild blasts of war from Sum
ter's parapet, and there was none
more ready to the deadly fray than
Charles Geroux. His political tutors
were practical secessionists, and he
entered upon the war with feryor
and zeal to command the admiration
of his friends, and which secured to
him IA Majors commission. Ills wife
opposed his mad scheme with ali the
power OF a woman's eioquence, but to
no avail. She openly espoused the
cause Of the Union, and steadiastly
refused to co. operate with her new
friends and neighbors. Notwithstand-
ing her love for the old flag, and OPP
en- pnionism, her husband loved her,
and while her husband was at home

TO collect debt due in Iroquois coun-
ty. While there he sought out the
attorney who had him discharged on
the habeas corpus, to learn the where
abouts of the horse that did him such
good service, and to secure his assist
ancc in collecting his debt. He soon
made himself known, and while they
were discussing about the stolen horse,
lady and child entered the same Of
ice. There was momentary pause.
and husband and wife were in each
others arms. We shall not attempt
to describe the scene which followed.
The husband found a wife and child
whom he firmly believed to be dead
and the wife found husband, over
whose grave she had shed bitter tears
of woe.
Mrs. Geroux was visiting the same
