Whereas Sally [Ransom], my wife, has left my bed and board, and refuses to conduct herself as a good wife ought to, this is therefore to forbid all persons trusting her on my account, as I am determined to pay no debts of her contracting after this date.

Mysterious Disappearance
Four or five weeks ago, a son of Joel Norton, who lives in the town of Maryland [Otsego Co. NY], disappeared very suddenly from his home, and has not been heard from since. He was an unmarried man, 35 or 40 years of age, and lived alone in a little house some distance from any neighbor. He was a soldier in the late war, served faithfully until its close and received an honorable discharge, after which he drifted out west, and spent some time with the Indians. Here he learned some of their handiwork and manner of doctoring. He has been in the habit of making short trips through the country, selling his wares and doctoring when he could get a chance. On the day preceding his disappearance, he packed up his things in his usual manner, left everything about the premises as was his custom and told the neighbors he should start in the morning. Someone dropped in the next day, found the door open, his gun loaded in the corner, his things in readiness for his journey. Search was made, but no traces could be found of him, nor up to this date has his whereabouts been discovered. Worcester Times.

Marriage
One of those pleasant affairs that we delight to chronicle occurred Tuesday morning at 11:30 o'clock, at the residence of M. Lewin, No. 63 Division St., Albany [Albany Co. NY]. At that time, the Rev. Dr. Slessinger, Rabbi of the Jewish Temple in Pearl St. officiating, Morris Loewenstein of Delhi [Delaware Co. NY] and Miss Lottie Price of this village [Oneonta, Otsego Co. NY] were united in wedlock. After the ceremony, the wedding party and invited guests partook of a sumptuous wedding feast at the Delavan House. Mr. L. is well and favorably known in Delhi as a merchant, being until recently the senior partner of the firm of Loewenstein & Lawrence. Miss Lottie Price, his new life partner is well known to most Oneonta people as the sister of Joseph and Morris Price, merchants on Main St. The patrons of Prices will miss the cheerful countenance and pleasant manners of Miss Lottie. We are sure that all wish Mr. and Mrs. Loewenstein prosperity and happiness. We indulge the hope that they may often find it convenient and pleasant to visit their Oneonta friends. Mr. and Mrs. L. will spend some time at Saratoga and among the Catskills, previous to their return.
