From a late Jamaica Paper.
THE following ANECDOTE is related in a
letter from the Southward.—One Frog, a
taylor, who had left Charleflown at the commence
ment of the war, returned soon after the capitula
tion, and got acquainted with a certain J. W. Gibbs,
who was requested by Frog to stand as godfather to
one of his children, which was agreed to by Gibbs,
provided he should have the naming of the child.
As they were going to church, the father asked Gibbs
if he bad thought of a name ? Yes, fays Gibbs, what:
think you of our Lieutenant-Governour Bull—we'll
name the child after him. Very good, fays the fa
ther, I approve of it much. The child was accord
ingly named Bull. Frog did not immediately think
of the drollery of the name, but when he did, he
could have killed Gibbs for such an impolition. On
his reliance and friendfhip, however, he thought to
have recourse to the Board of Police to get per
mission to rebaptife the child; but when he saw the
Lieutenant Governour there presiding, he thought it
would be an affront to relate his story, therefore he
postponed the matter, and the child remains under
the appellation of BULL FROG.
