We hear that Tuesday night last, a young Dutchman was
married to an old Dutchwoman, who was known to have money. 
They had a fiddle at the wedding, and when the bride was
about to dance, the bridegroom told her he was oblig'd to go
out a little way, and would return in a short time.  She
danc'd 'till it was late, and then he not appearing, she
went to look for him in the bed-chamber;  She found to her
great surprise that he had been and taken away her money,
and he has not since been heard of.
