Philadelphia, March 22.  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;
where she found to her great surprize that he had been and
taken away her money, & he has not since been heard of.
