From the San Francisco Bulletin, Aug, "a
A few days since Henry J. Holmes re-
turned to this city With his bride, whom he
married in Prairie City, Polk county, Iowa.
Twenty. three years ago Holmes lett the
lady in the place mentioned to make his
fortune in California, the two belug at the
time engaged. The luck usual with most
OF the forty niners was his; aud after long
and unsuccessful labor he settled down to
legitimate business, in which he managed
10 slowly accumulate property. After o
time be returned to Iowa for bis bride; but
her brother was afflicted with long and
tedious illness, and the faithful sister would
not leave him. The illness terminated IN
death few months since, and then the
lady wrote her betrothed--the two having
corresponded regularly all this time-that
she was free ond he might come again -
Holmes was now possessed of comfortable
competence, and he was still faithful. He
promptly responded to the summons, mar
ried the lady, and Is now settled in the en-
joyment of domestic happiness. 1t 10 sell
dom tba. hope 90 long deferred in this pare
ticular direction is finally realized, but they
are practical couple, and probably feel no
older now than they did tN Nelty.three years
ago.
