"Though Lost to Sight to Memory Dear."
"In spring the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love," and Andrew Jackson is no exception. We don't mean Old Hickory, the hero of New Orleans, but the sportive Andrew, who but a few short months ago, tended the old Stone Mill that ground the corn that fed the tramp so weary and worn, that begged his "chuck" with feelings of scorn, of the servant maiden all forlorn. But no more shall we behold the manly form, or the seductive smile of the noble Andrew, for it is believed he has gone to be an "Kanacker" in the Sandwich Islands. Andrew was once a youth of noble men, and as pure in life and principle as the snow which rested in winter on the hillsides of his Madison County [NY] home, and as such he wooed and won a lady of culture and refinement, and commenced life with prospects as bright as could be desired. But in an evil moment he fell, and since which time his course has gradually but surely tended downward. About six weeks ago, his wife left him and has since applied for a divorce, after in vain trying to win him back to his home. But he has continued to associate with the most dissolute and abandoned characters in violation of all regard for decency or self respect. He has for a long time carried on an intimacy with Franc McQueen, a Norwich nymph, frail, but lovely, and when the radiant Franc started for Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, on Monday morning last, Andrew, it is alleged, accompanied her, and at this writing they are probably afloat on "the blue rolling wave" enroute for the home of the "Kanackers," where they might profitably exhibit themselves to those heathen as representatives of American civilization. Mrs. Jackson is to be congratulated on thus being rid of an unfaithful spouse and "bad egg" generally.

Search for a Man Supposed to be Murdered
About a week since, one Gilbert Walker, living in the town of Sanford [Broome Co. NY], about six miles from Afton [Chenango Co. NY], disappeared and as yet no trace of him can be found. It is supposed that he has met with foul play, inasmuch as he had several enemies in the vicinity in which he lived. The day on which he disappeared it is stated that he had been to Deposit [Delaware Co. NY] and borrowed about $200, with which to defend a lawsuit pending the day following. Saturday a party of fifty or more were out searching the woods for his remains. The missing man lived alone in a log cabin on his farm. Republican-Times
