American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1844-12-06


after the manner of the Israeltes The happy
couple were Mr. Samp. Hertzand Miss Schen-
netta Foglc. The ceremony took place at the
| Synagogue, in Bond street, at l o'clock, noon,
and was Of a nature highly interesting to all
Gentiles. The gentleman was brought into
the room by his two nearest relations, as was
| also the fair bride, who was dressed in virgin
white, and over her head and shoulders was
thrown a veil Of light color, which caused
her face to be completely hidden The knot
was tied by Rabbi Ansell, who after calling the
| couple upon a small elevation, about foot
above the level of the floor, addressed them
for about five minutes in Hebrew, which we
cannot report, for the little Hebrew we once
knew has long since been lost After the Rab-
bi had ceased talking, the happy couple signed
the marriage contract, which was witnessed by
several persons present. A ring was then pla-
ced by the man upon the finger of the bride,
after which the Rabbi handed to the lady a
glass of wine, which she tasted and handed to
her future husband, who, after in like man
nor tasting it, crushed it under his feet. Then
came the closing scene, and all the men came
forward aud kissed the groom, which we
thought looked a great deal like corn-bread
and jonnycake, for who would kiss a man when
there was a lady in the rooml Now, we
our disappointment, no such thing took place
This we regretted very much, for we were in
hopes of coming in for a buss ourselves from
the fair daughter of Israel, by the way of a per-
quiste. After the conclusion of the ceremony,
! the wedding party adjourned to the room of a
friend, in Alice Ann street, where they sat
down to a sumptuous dinner; and from the
length Of time they were at the table, we should
suppose ample Justice was done to the GOOD
things set before them. After they had finish
ed, they all walked i'll body to house at the
foot of Ann street. where a room had been en-
gagged for the purpose of winding up the enjoy
ments of the day by grand ball. Dancing
commenced about O'Clock in the afternoon,
and from the spirit they were in when we left,
we doubt not it was kept up to late hour in
the night.
Making Bad job Horse A circumstance
happened few days ago, in the western part
Of the city, which, from the novelty Of its cha
racter, we deem not unworthy of notice. 1t
appears that two gentlemen { A. and b. were
seated at the table of a hotel on a rainy day,
and the conversation very naturally turning
upon that subject, A. remarked to b., "Your
boots, sir, are lily suited to the present wealth
err" To which B. replied "Thc soles of them
are little defective. and would be pleased if
you would remedy the evil" "Most certain
ly," was the prompt reply of A.. determined
to play trick upon his associate, thinking he
had made the request in ridic,sle. b. said he
would send the boots to his establishment. -
80, no" said A., give them to me; am al
ways willing TO wait upon my customers"
b. accordingly retired, drew off his boots, and
gave them to A. 1t seems that A. was car
penter, and having taken the boots to his shop,
he had them neatly soled and heeled with good
solid yellow pine plank, and thus repaired, ne
sent them to the quarters of his customer. We
need scarcely say that the Indignation of B.
was raised upon the receipt of his boots, at wit
Messing the trick played upon him by the man
OF the jack-plane, and he Immediately sought
legal redress for the damage done his boots
Probably A. will sue for services rendered, and
some money be spent in fees, &c. We shall
give the decision, when the matter shall have
been settled.
.4ssattting a Uf6. William Balm was arrest
ed yesterday by officer Small, charged with an
assault of brutal nature upon his wife, and
committed to Jail by James Blair, Esq. Some
difficulty occurred in getting him to prison, for
walk he would not; he must 90 like gentle
man and ride in carriage. He was accord
ingly accommodated with carriage in the
drove his fiery stced through our streets was a
caution to all Jehus.
a Warning to Boys. Officer Bowman ar
rested a small boy yesterday, named Edward
McAleas, and carried him before Jos. Brown,
Esq, who fined him 81 and costs for playing
handy in the streets. Let this be warning to
parents and boys for the future. If boys must
play at handy, and we have no desire to debar
them from their youthful sports, let them go to
the commons or the outskirts of the city where
they can play without endangering the limbs
and lives of our citizens.
Thiering Again. All the clothes belonging
to the family of David Williams, who lives IN
the l4th ward, near the Reservoir, were stolen
from his yard on Wednesday night Mrs.
Williams had been washing and left the clothes
in the tubs, thinking they would be safe, but in
the morning to her sorrow, discovered that not
only clothes, but tubs and all were gone. So
we go. Who next?
Stealing .MaYketing We have frequently
noticed the fact of persons losing their market
ing, by entrusting il to the care of dishonest
negroes, who hang about the market-houses
and we have to record another instance of the
kind A lady, who had purchased large
quantity of things in the Centre Market, on
Wednesday, gave them in charge to a colored
man, and directed him where to take them; since
which time she has not seen or heard any thing
of the negro or her marketing. As this kind
of vllainy has become very common of late,
persons cannot be too cautious, if they would
avoid its consequences.
Fire. The alarm of fire yesterday morning,
at 5 o'clock, was caused by the burning of a
small dwelling house and shed in Swan street.
The house belonged to MIR. J. F. Mcdonald,
and was occupied by Mr.. Schulz. The build
ing was insured in the Firemen's Company for
$500; and the furniture in the Merchants for
S95O Most of the fDruiture was burnt The
