flaming account OF the raising Of the Harrison
and Tyler Flag at b. Falls, written by the
"Old Codger,n better known as the Professor
cf Birdology' Well, The old fellow, with the
assistance Of his dufifui son, late from the Ora
mite State, done his best. and told the worst lie
he could possibly make upj but unfortunately
for himself, however, he was little too soon IN
giving such grand account Of the raising, for
If had he deferred il one week he might have
given full account Of its being taken down,
and probably some particulars respecting u
that are better known to himself than 10 any
one else On the night Of the 9Th OF June,
which was very dark and rainy, the flag was
cut down and burnt by some cordrdfy Loco
Focos. The Wings, Of course, one and all,
were on hand for finding out the perpetrators OF
so foul an ACT. Upon searching little they
found such proof as TO convince them who the
rogues were. Early Monday morning they had
an investigation Of the matter (mUch against
the wishes of a few) and il was found beyond
doubt that the clerk in the Post Office was the
leading young man, and Mr.. Calvin Fay, Ia
carpenter by trade) late from the Granite State,
was his accomplish. When they were found
out and like TO be brought 10 justice, they came
forward and said il was great oversight in
fered TO have another made as near as possible
like the other, and raised. The Wings, con-
sidering il was great " oversight" 10 them d
their party ( FOR il will make frenfy good Hhigs

follow them through life, thought best to
accept OF their proposition. Therefore, Capt.
Taylor, good Wing, was appointed agent for
them, aud painted another in his "best Style"
and had il unlured TO the breeze The same day.
Twas made, and raised BY the Wings in very
gentlemaolike manner. There was no firing Of
cannon, nor hurrah; but just as they left the
spot, you could hear the dHful grodns Of the
Locos-and TO drown their sorrow, they all has
tened TO the iavern, iheaded by the "Old Codg-
err" where they invited the Wings 10 join with
them and have a glorious drink, and forget
the past But am happy 10 hear that they de-
clined the invitation, not wishing 10 "mix and
went quietly DEMONSTRATING them about the
bar not drinking hard cider, but rum and bran
dy-and soon there was TO be seen the most dis
orderly lot that ever disgraced the Public
Square. II might be proper for Inc TO add that
all expenses were paid BY Government Finds.
