A Bit of Romance.

The St. P ter, Minnesota, Free Press, of June 20. contains the following: "A CoUple of Scotch damsels arrived in St. P iul last week from Scotland, en route for Like Athabasca in British America, seventeen hundred miles north of St. Paul! They go to the Red River by Burbank’s stages, and then embark on the Anson North’d,, ” These “Scotch damsels” are sisters. They passed through Milwaukie, some four weeks ago, on the way to their destination in tne far North-west. One ot the two has been engaged, for several years, to a young gentleman in the employ of the British Fu - <'onipany. He is Secretary or agent, at the Company’s post on Like Athabasca; and as he could not, without losing his place, go to Scotland to marry his lady-love, she, like a true woman resolved to come to America and marry him. Having undertaken a journey of five thousand miles, accompanied only by her sister, on this errand of love, it is to be hoped that the bonnie Scotch lassie will obtain a husband worthy of herself.
