4TARTL1XG FAMILY COMPLICATION?.
.* Man \S ?* His Own Daughter and Nearly
.Marries ller.
I Kroin tbe Cleveland Herald, Feb. I.J
About seventeen or eighteen years since, a
t >ung man. an American, resided in the city
??f Rochester. N. There lie wooed and won
n blooming German maiden Shortly after his
m-irriaga he became acquainted with some
other young men who "lived fast,*' and thus
was sometimes thrown among doubtful company
Some months after marriage a forgery
was cuminitted, and suspicion pointing strongly
n? him, a warrant was issued for his arrest,
lie escaped, and for years nothing was heard
; of him. borne time after, his innocence was
discoved by the confession of the guilty person
Three month* after the disappearance of her
husband, the young wife gave birth to a girl.
In thrae ywar? ?ho died, and the little girl wtus
i left an orphan. A German family living in the
neighborhood took the child home and adopted
it a* their own. About ten years since, they
moved to this city with the intention of settling
here, but soon after their arrival received letters
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 ulaim her.
With this family she has lived to the present
time, and has grown to be a 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 continent
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 movement*.
When the regular Governor, Gavalando. obtained
the mastery, our American adventurer
wan compelled to fly for his life and take refuse
in United States territory.
Alter all ^ his wandrings and adventures he
became anxious to see his wile once more, if
-till alive, and to learn something of what had
transpired after his flight. He was still ignorant
of the lact that his innocence had been established,
and knew nothing of the existence
of a daughter. Traveling under an-aasumed
name, and trusting to the effect of years and
hardships to conceal his identity, he set out for
New York State.
About six weeks ago he came to this city on
his way to Rochester. intending to remain two
or three day* He fell in with Mr. Klengenhiefer.
and. as the latter had a brother in Sonora.
an acquaintance sprang nn between them,
which led t?? Mr. K. inviting his new acquaintance
to his house on Kinsman street. Here he
met with the young lady, who bore the name
f her foster-parents, and he became at once
deeply interested in her. Instead of proceeding
at once to Rcchester. he remained in Clevel
md, fascinated by the charm-- of the youn"
1*dy Having met some Rochester people, who
d? 1 not reeogni.se him. and learned that his
wife had died years since, he abandoned his
idea of visiting Rochester, ami paid assiduous
* Mentions to the young lady who had so smitten
him. The result was that ho offered her
his hand?still under the assumed nime he
had borne f ?r years?and was accepted. The
marriage wa> fixed for Monday evening last.
??n Sunday evening the intended bridegroom
wa~ talking with the intended bride, when his
attention wa.- attracted to a locket which she
wore. His curioeity was gratified by the locket
being openod, and a miniature jiortrait of a
lady was revealed. He turned pale at seeing
it. and could scarcely speak. It ,r/* the porI
trait of his irifr, taken about a vcar before
her death. Farther inquiries disclosed the
fact that it whs the portraitof the young lady's
mother, and that the man had been almost iniraoulou.-ly
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 young lady The father and
daughter, unable to remain in a place containing
euch cruel recollections, left yesterday for
a Western Slate.
- Desperate Escopjiter Between Females
-a Nine Hours' Battle ?One of the greatest
pugilistic encounters that have ever taken
place in this country happened in this city on
Mturday night. The principals were the
famous Peg Rush and Mary Corkins. Peg
Ru:?h is a muscular womau, and to look at her
one would suppose her able to wallop any man,
to say nothing of a woman She is about'five
teet eight inches, and built in proportion.
During the last twenty years, Peg has spent
one half of her timo in prison. On Saturday
afternoon. Pee. Mary Corkins, Kate Doran,
Jsck and Bob Kabrjon, and several others, were
at a house, tipling, dancing, singing, Ac-, till
ell were more or less the worse of liquor. An
altercation took place between Peg and Mary
Corkins, who is a much smaller woman. They
had a brush in the room, and fought some time
before they could be separated. It was finally
readied to go over to the Buttermilk Falls and
bave it out. Jack Rabson acted as bottleholder
and second to Peg Rush, while Kate
Doran was the second of Mary Corkins. Bob
Rabson wa6 umpire. On the road over to the
l-ails, Peg and Mary had no less than twenty
brushes They finally reached the Falls, where
they repaired to the fields adjoining and then
went in. Such tearing and hauling, banging
and scratching, gouging and hair-pulling, has
not been witnessed in many years. Wheu the
> attle finished, it was two" o'clock Sunday
Boning. It was then ouly finished up by
Mary throwing Peg over an embankment, and
*> badly injuring her that she was unuble to
toe the mark.' Mary Corkins was declared
the victor Kate Doran and Bob Rabson thereupon
procured a horn and tin pan, and drummed
Mary into town in triumph. Jack Rabson
stood by Peg. He succeeded in getting her
upon her pins and bringing her down to the
First District Station House. Her eyes were
both shut, her face cut and bruised, her hair
torn out. and her clothes in shreds, with but a
slijrht portion of them left. Mary was pretty
badly 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
ail daySunduy. under medical treatment. Peg
says it was the first time she was ever licked in
her hfe. She was asked if there was more than
one at her. She replied, "No, sir, no one but
Mary. She licked me fair, but I was high at
the time. We'll have it over ,'ome time."?Altany

I
ADVENTURES OF A NL'GGET.
A correspondent of 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 an Indian in 1863, on a
gulch leading into Dry creek, Amador county.
A Mexican, in penetrating a bank, threw it
upon 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 alter a long ohase
through the hills, overtook the Indian, stabbed
him fatally, and returned with the nugget.
The victim was found by his tribe, and lived
long enough to describe his murderer. Tke
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 with a drunken
miner on the Cosumnes river. Tho owner
buried it one night, when intoxicated, and the
next day utterly failed to recollect its place of
concealmcut. The disappointment, of course,
was a sufficient apology for another spree,
during which, strange to say, he found the
ouggot, and dropped it from his pocket an
hour after, when it was picked up by a man
by the name ot Peters. Not knowing the
owner, nor caring particularly to find one for
it, he said nothing of his good fortune, aud
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 purchased by a jeweler, and for
several months adorned the* window of his
?hop on Montgomery street, when an adroit
thief one day removed it from tho 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
employee at its lull value. The owner sent it
to his father in Illinois, some months after.
In 1864, 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
$26 on its cost. Fetersis now a resident of San
1" rancisco, and still owns the adventurous
nugget, the history of which he has taken
much interest in tracing.
Married under Prohibition.?On Saturday
night last, two servants belonging to a wealthy
gentleman in Jefferson Ward, were to bo married,
and as the master had given his full consent,
a large crowd of ebos assemblod to witness
the ceremony, and to partake of the sumptuous
feast already prepared. After waiting
until tho patience of all were nearly threadbare,
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
attendant?; and the Preacher rising, with a
mammoth volume in his hand, proceeded to
read the ceremony Sambo and Dinah were
all attention, and the audience were ascjuiet
as death, until the preacher read, 44 If any one
has aught to say why these persons should not
be joined in wedlock," etc., when he was suddenly
interrupted by a cry on the outer circle
of ' I forbid the bans;" the crowd at the same
time opening an aisle through which a woman
hastily rushed. ' For what you forbid de
bans, hey ?" ' 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 offspring
of the gay Lothario's false promises.
Finding that the woman could not be induced
to withdraw her objections, the sooty parson
hastily retired, followed by some few of his
personal friends; and confusion and disappointment
was to be seen on every face. Suddenly,
as if etun^ by a hornet, a thought crossed the
mind of Sambo, and. acting upon it, he dispatched
a messenger for his young master, in\iting
him to come in and read the ceremony,
declaring that he had no faith in marriages by
negro preachers, and that he greatly preferred
a white parson. In a short time the messenger
returned with the master, who performed tho
ceremony with all the grace and dignity of an
older parson, making the two but one, and
8iving from disappointment the scores of
friends that had assembled for congratulation
and feasting Whether the officiating clergyman
had license for the occasion we are not
prepared to say, but certain it is, that he understands
the duties and performs them in admirable
style.?Richmond Dispatch.
Natural Ovster Beds.?Along the Jersey
shore, where the rivers empty into salt water,
there exist large natural oyster beds, whence
are procured the seed oysters which supply the
planted beds. In the spring, the oyster in the
natural bed deposits its spawn?a white gelatinous
substance. which adheres to whatever it
t >u^ h <?and in this way spreads a large growth
of small oysters, some not larger than the head
of a pin. 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 i
fall. If allowed to remain in their beds over
fall they will separate and spread, but if removed
at that period of the year the youn^
oysters die by thousands. If they do not ge*t 1
bedded early in the mud, 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. Unless
something is done for the protection of
these natural oyster beds, it is believed that
they will be destroyed^nd even those engaged
in the business, it is sara, acknowledge the de i
struotiveness of the present mode of operation '
and desire that the period of taking the oya^
ters for planting shall be confined to the spring
yf the year. Forty days from the 1st of April
it is believed, would be sufficient for all planting
purposes, and an effort will be made to get
the Legislature 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.
lC7*The trialjjf Fee, one of the wretches who
violated and murdered a female on the highway
below Clyde last summer, is now in progress at
Lyons There it no doubt about his guilt. The
Rochester papers say "his friends have made an
attempt to destroy the life of one of the principal
witnesses against him, a female. She went to
Lyons last week and took lodgings In a private
family. Some of Fee's frleudLs dodged her steps i
and found where shettopped. Ou Saturday ni^Lt
