A few night ago, an eccentric per-
sonage was observed by the tenants OF
the cabin Of one Of the Albany boats. to
perform sundry hops. skips and jumps
which betokened any thing but sane
mind in the performer. The movements
Of this parsonage betrayed trouble and
pain, and they were at last so perfectly
distressing to the beholders that con-
sulta,ion was held and a committee of
three appointed to inquire into the stran.
gers unaccountable movements. With
due caution the deputies approached
their man, while the others gathered a.
round within earshot to witness whatever
stale might be "unfolaed." The COM
mittee stated their reasons for troubling
him with what might be deemed lnper.
,tinent interrogatories, and concluded
their remarks by requesting to know the
reason Of his apparent perplexity, and
whether or not they could render him
any aid. atsJ

By blood in bloody slaughter;
But brighter still the flashing eyes
Of Squire Jones' daughter,
Red is the rosy posey's hue,

That cost hundred dollars
And red is sister Sally's shawl,
That Cousin Levi bought her:
