Philadelphia, March 22. We hear that Tuesday night last, a
young Dutchman was married to an old Dutch woman, who was
known to have money. They had a fiddler 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;
where she found to her great surprize that he had been and
taken away her money, and he has not since been heard of.
We wonder who paid the poor fidler.
