Tin Wedding: The Smyrna correspondent of the Oneida Dispatch, under date of the 10th inst. thus speaks of a recent pleasant affair in that village.  The bride and groom having been former residents of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], their many friends here and elsewhere will peruse with interest the following paragraph:  "The usual quiet of our village was broken into on Tuesday evening last, by the celebration by our townsman, Mr. Abel Comstock, of the 10th anniversary of his marriage with Miss Cynthia Thompson, by a "tin wedding" at his residence. A goodly number of guests, relatives and friends gathered from Smyrna, Earlville, Sherburne and Norwich, among the latter Hon. E.H. Prindle, M.C., and wife, and Dr. Rhodes and wife and left a fine collection of useful and ornamental presents, some of which foreshadowed the silver wedding.  After the remarriage ceremony was concluded by Rev. S. Moore, the fee paid, and the usual salutations and congratulations given, the guests partook of beautiful and bountiful refreshments, with peaches, ice cream, &c., and separated for the night feeling they had enjoyed a very pleasant social gathering.  We can only wish that the happy bride and bridegroom of ten years may live to enjoy their silver and golden weddings, and that we may be there to participate."

A Young Bigamist:  A young man named Cyrus B. Cray, who has lately resided in Oxford [Chenango Co. NY], was indicted at the late term of the General Sessions for the crime of bigamy.  He is not much over 21 or 22 years old, which is rather young to commence the career of a bigamist.  We understand that about a year since he was married to a respectable and fine-looking young lady in Skaneateles, who was the complainant in the case.

On the 21st of August last he was again married at the American Hotel in this village by Justice Gunn, to a young woman from Guilford [Chenango Co. NY], and complaint was made to the grand jury about two weeks thereafter. We do not understand that he offers anything in mitigation of his offence.  He has commenced the marrying business rather too brisk and will doubtless find that the law interposes a serious obstacle to its further prosecution.  Chenango telegraph.

To draw it mild, Cyrus is a curious young man, and but for the indulgence of a kind grandfather, he would have been in "limbo" long ere this.  At present he is on bail for appearance at court.
