ADVENTURES OF A NUGGET. —— 4 Maa Woos His Own Daughter and Nearly Marries Her. {From the Cleveland Herald, Feb. 1.] About seventeen or eighteen years since, a young man, an American, resided in the city of Rochester, N.Y. There he wooed and won « blooming German maiden. Shortly after his marriaga he became acquainted with some other young men who “lived fast,”’ and thus was sometimes thrown among doubtful com- pany. Some months after marriage a forgery was committed, and suspicion inting strongly at bim, a warrant was issu for his arrest. He escaped, and for yeurs nothing was heard of him. Some time after, his innocence was discoved by the confession of the guilty person Three months after the disappearance of her husband, ‘the Sait, Baie gave birth to a girl In three years she died, and the little girl was left am orphan. A German family living in the neighborhood took the child homeand adopted it us theirown. About ten years since, they moved to this city with the intention of settling here, but soon after their arrival received let- ters that led to their return to the old country The girl, now about seven years of age,was left in this city, with a German family named Klengenheifer, the foster parents hoping that the father would appear some day to claim her. With this family she has lived to the present time, and has grown to be » handsome young lady of some sixteen or seventeen summers. The father, on leaving Rochester, had left for South America, and led a roving life among the different countries of the southern conti- nent. Eventually he turned up in Sonora, having been attracted thither by the reported richness of its mines. Being naturally of a restless disposition, he took part in the troubles of the State, and was engaged on the Liberal side in several revolutionary movements. When the regular Governor, Gavalando, ob- tained the mastery, our American adventurer was compelled to fly for his life and take refuge in United States territory. After all bis wandrings and adventures he hecame anxious to see his wife unce more, if still alive, and to learn something of what had transpired after his flight. He was still igno- rant of the fact that his innocence had been es- tablished, and knew nothing of the existence of a daughter. Travelizg under anassumed mame. and trusting to the effect of years and hardships to conceal his identity, he set out for New York Siate. About six weeks ago he came to this city on his way to Rochester, intending to remain two er three days. He fell in with Mr. Klengen- hiefer, and, as the latter had a brother in So- nora, an Acquaintance sprang up between them, which led to Mr. K. inviting his new acquaint- ance to his house on Kinsman street. Here he met with the young lady, wh» bore the name of her foster-parents, and he became at once ‘leeply interested in her. Instead of proceed- ‘ng at once to Rechester, he remained in Cleve- jind, fascinated by the charms of the young indy. Having met some Rochester people, who ind not recognise him, and learned that his wife had died years since, he abandoned his idea of visiting Rochester, and paid assiduous sitentions to the young lady who had so smit- ten bim. The result was that he offered her his hand—still under the assumed name he had borne for years—and was accepted. The utrriage was fixed for Monday evening last. (n Sunday evening the intended bridegroom was talking with the intended bride, when his attention was attracted toa locket which she wore. His curivsity was gratified by the locket being opened, and a miniature portrait of a lady was revealed. He turned pale at seeing it, and could scarcely speak. Jf sus the por- tratt of his wife, taken about a year before ner death. Farther inquiries disclosed the fact that it was the portrait of the young lady's mother, and that the man had been almost mi- raculously saved from the horrible crime of marrying his own daughter. We suppress the names of the parties in this extraordinary transaction out of respect to the feelings of the younglady The father and daughter, unable to remain in a place contain- ing such cruel recollections, left yesterday for a Western State. ~ Desrerate Escocnter Between Fewares ~A Nive Hours’ Battir.—One of the greatest pugilistic encounters that have ever taken place in this newigert age Geter in this city on Saturday night. he principals were the famous Peg Rush and Mary Corkins. Peg Rush is a muscular woman, and to look at her one would suppose her able to wallop any man, to say nothing of a woman. She is about-five feet eight inches, and built in proportion. Daring the last twenty years, Peg hus spent one half of her time in prison. On Saturday afternoon, Peg. Mary Corkins, Kate Doran, Jack and Bob Rabson, and several others, were at # house, tipling, dancing, singing, &c., till all were more or less the worse of liquor. An altercation took place between Peg and Mary Corkins, who is a much sinaller woman. They had a brush in the room, and fought some time before they could be separated. It was finally resolved to go over to the Buttermilk Falls and have it cut. Jack Rabson acted as bottle- holder and secund to Peg Kush, while Kate Doran was the second of Stary Corkins. Bob Rabson was umpire. On the road over to the Fails, —— Mary bad no less than twenty brushes. They finally reached the Falls, where they repaired to the fields adjoining and then went in. Such tearing and bauling, banging and scratching, gouging and hbair-pulling, has not been witnessed in many years. When the battle finished, it was two o'clock Sunday mr ang: It was then only finished up by Maryt rowing Peg over an embankment, and so badly injuring her that she was unable to “toe the mark.’’ Mary Corkins was declared the victor. Kate Doran and Bob Kabeon there- upon procured a horn and tin pan, and drummed aT into town in triumph. Jacek Rabson Bt by Peg. He succeeded in getting her — her pins and bringing her down to the rst District Station House. Her eyes were both shut, ber face cut and bruised, her hair torn out, and her clothes in shreds, with but a ht eer of them left. Mary was pretty ly bunged up, but not near so much as Peg, who was injured considerably by the fall over the embankment. Peg lay in the station-house all day Sunduy, under medical treatment. Peg says it was the first time she was ever licked in her life. She was asked if there was more than ene ather. She replied, ‘‘No, sir, no one but M She licked me fair, but I was high at the time. We'll have it over rome time.”’—A/- bany Knickerbocker. Exovus of Froniwa PLanters Westward.— During the past two or three years there bas been se on quite an emigration of planters from lorida to the Mississ ppi Valley and Texas. This win‘er we bave heard the names of several of the oldest citizens of Middle Florida, who have passed through this city with their slaves in search of more fertile lands in the Southwest. And we are informed that many more seriously talk of their old neighbors, by seeking new homes on the banks of the’ Mississippi, or In the rich bottoms of Texas. They say delightful climate of Florida does not compensate the te Peridot ete ea he ie |, 88 COND with the Western river 5 for reat Southern staples; duced to seek 2 better field for the employment of the labor of their slaves. Those who have tried the experiment of a rane a year or two, bave all been greatly benefit ily; and it seems probable that most of heavy planters in Middle and West Florida will before leng be drawn away from that country.— NV. 0. Crescent. col Cincinnati it has been decided that the ored people are entitled toride on the cars. The case arose from the ejectment of a ‘woman fom the cars. The judge said that“no matter what class or color, so t the n behaves Properly. and Is not afflicted with an fnfectious l sease. the company, as a common carrier, hasno 4 yal right te p event him or her riding, and t! at this decision was founded upou the law of rail.’ {> The W»shington correspondent of the Jourg na! of Commer e says “it is understood that Mr. Pennington (just elected of the House) is ‘a favor of maintaining the fugitive slave law as A correspondentof the San Francisco Golden Era gives the following very curious history of a nugget of gold during the last few years. The writer says: Its value is about three hundred dollars, is of an irregular shape, and perfectly pure. It was first found by Indian in 1853, ona gulch leading into Dry creek, Amador county. A Mexican, in penetrating a bank, threw it = ake a pile of “‘tailings,”’ without particularly observing it. An Indian passing soon after, discovered it, and waiting until the Greaser’s back was turned, seized it and slipped it into his bosom. The eye of the Mexican caught the movement, and asked the Digger what he had secreted. Instead of answering, the latter took to his heels. The Mexican drew a knife and started in pursuit, and after a long chase obit, mens hills, overtook the Indian, stabbed ally, and returned with the nugget. The victim was found by his tribe, and lived long enough to describe his murderer. The following night the Mexican was murdered in his tent, and the nugget passed into the hands of one of the members of the party of Indians who had committed the deed. Fearful of offering it for sale lest it might be recognised, the Digger traded it for a mule witha drunken miner on the Cosumnes river. Tho owner buried it one night, when intoxicated, and the next day Lees failed to recollect its place of concealment. The disappointment, of course, was a sufficient apology for another spree, during which, strange to say, he found the nugget, and dropped it from his pocket an hour after, when it was picked up by « man by the name of Peters. Not knowing the owner, nor caring particularly to find oue for it, he said nothing of his good fortune, and the next week deposited the nugget, with a quantity of other gold, in the safe of a friend in Sacramento. The safe was robbed shortly after, but no arrests were made. The nugget was seen on a gambling table in San Francisco, where it had been lost, probably, by the thief. It was then archaeal by a jeweler, and for several months adorned the window of his shop on Montgomery street, when an adroit thief one day removed it from the gaze of a curious public, and left it with a pawnbroker in pledge for $200. The latter hurried it to an assay office, where it was purchased by an Se at its full value. ‘The owner sent it to his father in Illinois, some months after. In 184, in travelling through that State. it was accidentally shown to Peters by its owner. He recognized it at once, and prevailed upon the old man to part with it for an advance of $25 on its cost. Petersis now a resident of San Franciseo, and still owns the adventurous nugget, the history of which he has taken much interest in tracing. MARRIED UNDER Proutsition.—On Saturday night last, two servants belonging to a wealthy gentleman in Jefferson Ward, were tu be mar- tied, and as the master had given his full con- sent, a large crowd of ebos assembled to wit- ness the ceremony, and to partake of the sump- tuous feast already prepared. After waiting until the patience of all were nearly thread- bare, the sable minister arrived, buried to his ears in snow white linen, and announced his readiness to perform the ceremony. Soon thereafter the loving pair, dressed to death, were ushered into the room, followed by their attendants; and the preacher rising, with a mammoth volume ia his hand, proceeded tu read the ceremony. Sambo and Dinah were all attention. and the audience were as quiet as death, until the preacher read, «If any one has aught to say why these persons should not be joined in wedlock,” ete., when he was sud- denly interrupted by a cry on the outer circle of ‘ [ forbid the bans;’’ the crowd at the same time opening an aisle through which a woman hastily rushed. ‘For what you forbid de bans, ley 2’ «For dis reason,’ shouted the infuriated and wronged woman, at the same time exhibiting a young Sambo, some few months old, which she declared to be the off- spring of the gay Lothario's false promises. Finding that the woman could not be induced to withdraw her objections, the souty parson hastily retired, followed by some few of his personal friends; and confusion and disappoint- ment was to be seen on every face. Suddenly, as if stung by a hornet, a thought crossed the mind of Sambo, and. acting upon it, he dis- patched a messenger for his young master, in- viting him to come in and read the ceremony, declaring that he had no faith in marriages by negro preachers, and that he greatly preferred awhite parson. In ashort time the messenger returned with the master, who performed the ceremony with all the grace and dignity of an older parson, making the two but one, and siviog from disappointment the scores of friends that had assembled for congratulation and feasting. Whether the officiating clergy- men had license for the occasion we are not prepared to say, but certain it is, that he un- derstands the duties and performs them in ad- mirable style.—Richmond Dispatch. Natvrat Oyster Beps.—Along the Jersey shore, where the rivers empty into salt water, there exist large natural oyster beds, whence re procured the seed oysters which supply the planted beds. In the spring, the oyster in the natural bed deposits its spawn—a white gela- tinons substance, which adheres to whatever it tu: h s—and in this way spreads a large growth of small oysters, some not larger than the head of apin. From these seed bed the oysters are taken and laid in shoal salt water, to be easily taken up when wanted, and where they remain for several years, till they get of sufficient size for market. Thousands of bushels of small seed oysters are in this way distributed along the shore on the planting grounds, or sold to be carried away to other States. The practice is to take these seed oysters away in the spriogor fall. If allowed to remain in their beds over fall they will separate and spread, but if re- moved at that period of the year the young oysters die by thousands. If they do not get bedded early in the nid, the tides, blown out by the winds, leave them exposed, or adherring to the ice the winter, they are lifted out of their beds and either carried away or crushed. Un- less something is done for the protection of these natural oyster beds, it is believed that a will be destroyed and even those en; aged in the business, it is saffi, acknowledge the le structiveness of the present mode of operation, and desire that the Leyace of taking the oys- ters for planting shall be confined to the sprin; gf the year. Forty days from the Ist of pril it is believed, would be sufficient for all plant- ing urposes, and an effort will be made to get the slature to limit the planting to that period. Clams have been nearly destroyed by the continued raking of the bars, and the seed is now only kept up by those hid in the bottom of the deep channels.—Phil. Ledger. ———— ‘The trial.pf Fee, one of the wretches who violated and murdered a female on the highway below Ciyde last summer, is now in progress at Lyons There i8 no doubt about his guilt.
