Father Narrowly Escapes Marrylng his own Daughter. ' v ‘,; _i..Mi Some 17 years ago, a young and in telligent man married an acoompllshed- Germangirl in Rochester, N. Y. He hod, before his marriage, unfortunately contracted an .intimacy with some of the fast men of that city, and; shortly after his marriage ho was suspected of forgery. The suspicion was to strong against Dim, that he fled. Hla wife never heard of him afterwards. She .rebirth to a child about a year after _ eir marriage. She died when the’ child was.-some six years old, and oh. ter death-bed, gave it to a German famg ly, who had been her.friends for a long time. This family moved to thl« city when the child was about seven years old. The family, after they had,resided here six months, had some .property to fall to them in the Gorman ’ States - -of Hanover,’ and concluded to go there anclspond the remainder of their days. They, went, leaving little Christine, the child, with a worthy German named; Klingenheifer, He took her into his family and adopted her-as his child.— Ho gave, her all the opportunities of education that his limited means wo.uld permit, and the child became a beauti ful and intelligent girl. About six weeks ago a gentleman ar rived 'in the city m>m the Mexican State of Sonora. Mr v Klingonheifer, seeing his name upon a hotel register,: sought him out for the purposeeof gain ing some information of a brother of his, who lives in Sonora. It so happen ed that the gentleman knew Mr. K.’t brother perfectly well—they were tried and warm friends—and an intimacy naturally sprang up .between him and Mr..K. He visited Mr. K.’s house and there met the young lady Christine.— They became friends and subsequent visits ripened their friendship into love. He offered her liis hand in marriage, which was accepted. He had -lived in Sonora for several years, and had been connected with many of the revolu tions [of that singularly revolutionary country, ti-king sides with the Liberals. The present government of-that unhap py State is not ‘'Liberal," and the gen tleman was rocently exiled by Gavalan- do, the Governor. The gentleman had no difficulty in proving all this, Re sides, he had plenty of money, Monday last was.settted Upon as the kredding day. Sunday, while he was viBiting the young lady, his attention was directed to a locket ring which she wore upon one of her fingers. He laughingly ask ed her whose miniature the locket con tained, and she told him it was that of her deikl mother. . He. looked at it and became deathly pale. He knew the miniature was that df his wife, and felt sure that-the girl by His side was his own daughter, though he had never, before supposed he hacl a child upon earth.— The mingled pain and pleasure he felt- pain at the thought of the frightful act he had been about to oommit, and pleas ure at his most happy escape—cannot be described. - His daughter, after the shook which the discovery qaused her bad passed away„wn3 over-joyed at meeting her father. News had reached him, .while he was in South America, of his wife’s death.— When exiled from Sonora, he deter mined to reach Rochester and endeavor to dear up the suspicion against him.— He knew that he was innocent. He traveled under an assumed name,, but. it had been htB intention to impart the secret to Christine ere the marriage cere mony was performed. She, it, will bo borne in mind, had. adopted the name of Klingenheifer, and the gentleman had supposed she was Mr* K.’s own daughter. Iln was happy to learn, os he did from his daughter, who had roceiyed the in telligence from her mother, that all sus picion against him in regard to the for gery in Rochester had been entirely. al layed, years, ago, by the oonfesstofr • of the guilty party. - ; . He will go west with his daughter, and settle there. We get theso particulars from a relia ble source, but we do not learn bow the exile exeuses himself for never advising his unhappy wife of bis whereabouts. Schedule. Rome and Kingston.
