ANTIQUITY OF THE TERM "OLD FoGY."- :
Having seen it frequently asserted that
the word "fogy," so often used in modern
political papers, as expressing man behind
the aye, = fossil ignorant of his cuuntrys
progress. &C., is the invention ofsome cute
philosopher Of the day. I beg leave to quote
passage from the European Magazine OF
January, l79a. TO show that the word,
little or no value as it may have, has at
least more ancient origin. In peti.
ton from Lieutenant George Drake, of the
Marines, to Doctor B, for an inva-
lid lieutenancy, occurs this passage:
"Pray what's the cau.s, grave Doctor, there's such
work
Kicked up about these invalidian yosrss ~
Here the word has exactly the shade Of
meaning with which the fancy of modern
politicians has invested it.

A LADY WHO WAS PaEsrNr At tn. Bar.

A LADY WHO WAS PREsENr AT THE Bar
TIE OF SARAroGA.--Mrs. Margaret Martin.
who is at present stopping at the residenos
OF her grandson. in this city. is ninety -eixht
years ofage: She is one of tho few rousrk.
able women of the revolution. who took
part in the memorable occurrences Of the
struggle for American independence. Her
husband, Gilbert Martin. was . sergeant
in the army of Gates, and was engaged in
the battle Of Saratoga Mrs Martin. then
very young woman, was ON the field du-
ring both struggles consti uting this battle.
and terminating in the defeat Of the splen-
did army which Burgoyne had transported
with such immense labor and expense
from Canada, confidently an icipating that
he would be able to divide the army Of the
patriots. and secure Sir Henry Clinton in
possession OF the southern line of de-
fences. Mrs. Martin represents the strug.
gle as most terrific. She says that To-
wards evening, when Burgoyne. mad
dened by the consciousness that all his
splendid schemes were about TO be de-.
feated, directed his whole reserve and
cavalry force upon the feeble army Of the
patriots, the contestants stood within half
musket range ofeach other, and poured in
their deadly volleys, while whole files on
either side fell in their tracks, and still
neither gave one inch. Towards evening,
Mr.. Martin was wounded in the shoulder;
aud while his wife was in the act Of affixinR
bandage, she herself was wounded in the
hand. She says, Colbert sprang up like
chafed lion; Peggy said he. IN 90

OF such were the men and women of the
revolution. We can readily imagine that
the field of Saratoga was strange place
for those Of the "softer sex" Mrs. Mar
tin, however has been woman of uncom-
mon energy or character. Her frame still
exhibits evidences ofstrength, and her eye
sparkles as she recounts the deeds of that
glorious day, or speaks of "that coward

"SrRAIeHrESINe THE BAcK."-It is .
custom in Berwickshire. England, among
women workers in the field. when their
backs become much tired by bowling low
down while singing turnips with short
shsnked hoes, u lie down with their facSs
to the ground. allowing others to step
across the lower part of their backs. on
the lumber region. with one foot, several
times, until all pain of fatigue is removed.
Button, in his First Footsteps in Fast
Africa. narrates n very similar custom in
females who lead the camels, on feeling
fatigued, and who ''le at full length,
prone, stand on each others back, tram
ping and kneading with their toes, and
rise like giants refreshed" This custom
is called ''jogsi" in Africa; in England it
is Strengthening the back"

are used IN this country. and the demand
for export TO Europe Is increasing ever
