 ROMANTIC INcIDENT-1'he New York l as MoWitt to Charlotte Conroy, under cir cumstances truly romantic, and in iilustra ton of the maryelousness of truth over lic- ton.

 We shall condense, as briefly as praciica- ble, the interesting particulars of this sngu- lar marriage Mr. Mowitt is a highly les- pectabe shoemaker ot New Y ork, and in the capacity of ,.boss,' had employed numer- ous workmen, amongst whom was Mr. John Pelsing who, by his laithlulness, in- industry, and sobrieiy, had so ingfatlated himself into his good graces that some three years since he took him into copartnership and carried on the business in the name of MoWitt & Pelsing. From this period until some time last summer, nothing occurred to disturb the relations existing between the partners. Every thing went on swimmingly and they became constant friends and com panions, and boarding together in the same house. Thus their affairs went on till one day they were subPmnaed OH coroner's iu- " about to be held over the body of a man that had been taken out of the river at one of the docks. The verdict of the jury was simply found drowned The jury being dismissed, Mr. Mowitt turned round to look for his friend and fellow juror, who had been at bis side till that moment, but Was now gone. Mir. NJ. Proceeded to his boarding house, and thence to the store, to look for his partner; but he had been to neither. nor did he return, and nothing could be heard of or from him. He gave up all further iuqui- ries, thinking there must have been some mysterious connection between Mr. Pelsing and the man that was found drowned.

 So matters rested until certain day not long since, when lady called on Mowilt, al his store, and asked for Pelsing. She was told the particulars of this story.

 ''And has he not been here since :" she anxiously inquired. Mot since, , was the reply. '' know he has, , returned the a- dY ,'What proof have you of it2 3 inquired Ar. Mowiu. "1'he best in the world,o re- piled the lady, < for l ain here, and Mr. Pel- sing and myself are one and the same per son D

 The question then was whether Mir Pel- sing was gentleman or a lady and as Il turned out ste was a lady. and her name was Charlotte ConroY II also appeared that the drowned man had been the husband of Mrs Gonroy; that he had lived with her in Philadelphia for about two years; that he too waz a shoemaker; but his habits were So dlssifaied she Was constrained ta leave him; and disguised herself in meH,s clothes went to New ork, sought employment wih hf. Mowitl, as above stated. or her sue Cess as iearneyman aud partner we have been already informed
