A - Romantic Story. The particulars of a very romantic love story were developed before Judge Dixon, holding Supreme Court, Cham bers; at Patterson, ,N. J., Wednesday. From the uncontracted teeth:way in the case the loll Owing facts are gather ed. Mr. John P. Clifford is a young man who resides at,Yenkers, New Jer sey. He We're, spa:table:J . omeg man of gpod :WA* and . so when he, asked to be received as suitor to the hand of , Mist Ellen McKilvey, of. Patterson, her parents did not offer any objection. The Courtship proceeded very smoothly until Miss McKilvey was -suddenly taken sick. - The lover spent anxious days anlnights, but finally the young lady recovered her health, Nit with it came a lerrible afilictioh—the loss of eight. . Before this the two had promis ed to marry each other, ;now, the lady offered to release him from his vow, but ho would not consent_ to it, declaring .that he' bad promised to laarry her and that he considered evroraise as good as if the ceremony hat been performed, and that her misfortune had only in creased his-affection for her. But her misfortune seemed' also" to have increas ed the affection entertained for her by her paieuts, and these absolutely refus ed to give their commit' tp the marriage, though they dia not have any objection p?evions to-the sickness of the young lady. Now that she was stricken with hliirkxl”ers .141.Aatua cal tisubt. the only persons ' who ought to take • care of her. They told Mr. Clifford that-finder the circumstances they could never think of parting with their daugh ter and requesting him to . giie up his idea of marrying her. Re used all the Arguments at his• command, but the ear cuts were inflexible and would not be persuaded.' The two lovers, - however, were so attached to each lOther that it seemed, too crael• to separate them al together. and so Ir. Clifford was al lowed continue his visits. Miss McKilvey was over twenty-one years of age, and consequently her own mistress,' and Mr. Clifford -soon persuaded her that the demands Of her' parents were unreasonable. He finally persuaded her to marry him, and the ceremony was performed at St. Boniface'S Catho lic, Church, in Paterson, on last Monday, by Rev. Father liens. • When the par- enta of the bride wore informed of what had talt4n plac_is they refused to give credit to it, and. accordingly wouldsiot `allot/their danghter , to accompany her husband to his home in Yonkers. Mr. Clifford concluded to have the matter settled at once, and accordingly con suited Mr. D. 1. English, a lawyer s , 01 Patterson. The result was that a writ of habeas corpua ivas granted by Judge I Dixon on -Tuesday and made returnable yesterday. The parents appeared in court with the.daughter and alleged that she was blind and that they had taken care- of her all her life and did not know; why they should not continue doing as they desired to, though they did not want to deprive 'her of her liberty in any way. Mr. Clifford then produced the marriage certificate and the parents of the bride saw that what he bad told them was not mere fiction, but the truth. The - Court gave the 'custody of the blind bride to her husband and be led her away—the happiest man in the court room. Mr. Clifford is not wealthy, but he has a pleasant home and every thing is in readiness there to receive the mistress for whom he made so great a sacrifice. Personciting the Devil.
