“Oh, Matrimony! thou art like
To Jeremiah’s figs –
The good are very good indeed,
The bad, too sour for pigs.”
WHEREAS my wife NANCY has, without any just cause or provocation, left my bed and board, and taken with her the “long holland law.” – This is, therefore, to forbid all persons harboring or trusting her on my account, as I will pay no debts of her contracting after this date. BENJ. VANNATTER, Grantham, Dec 2. 1825.
