Yankee Doodle,

In the summer of 1855, says the New
York Crmn1ercidL- AdUertiSer the British
army, under the command of Abercrom-
be, lay encauped on the east side of the
Hudson River q little south of the city
of Albany, ting reinforcements OF
militia from - Eastern States, previous
to marching up to Ticopderoga. Dur
ing the month of June these raw levies
poured into camp, company after COM
pany, each man differently armed,
equipped and accoutred from his neigh
Dor, and the whole presented such a
spectacle as was never equaled, unless by
the celebrated regiment of merry Jack
Falstaff.
Their OlLtrs appearance furnished great
amusement to the British officers One,
DR.. Shackburg, an English surgeon,
composed the tune of "Yankee Doodle, "
and arranged it to words, which were
gravely dedicated to the Lew recruits.
The joke took, and the tune has come
down to this day. The original words,
which we take from "Farmer & Moore's
Historical collections" published in
1842, we have not, however, met with
before in many years.

Along with Captain Goodwin,
Where we see the men and boys
As thick as hasty-pudding.
There was Captain Washington
Upon slapDing stallion,
A giving orders to his men
l guess there was million.
And then the feathers ON his hat,
They looked so tarnal tina,
wanted peskedly to get,
To give to my Jemima.
And there they had swampin gun
As large as log of maple,
On duced little cart
A load for fathers cattle.
And every time they fired it off,
1t took horn of powder.
1t made a noise like fathers gun,
Only a nation louder.
went so near to it myself
As Jacobs underpinnin,
And father went as near again
l thonght the duce was in him
And there see little keg,
Its heads were made of leather
They knocked upon't with little sticks
To call the folks together.
And there they'd fife away like fun,
And play on cornstalk tiddles,
And some had ribbons red as blood,
All wound about their middles-
The troopers, too, would gallop up
And fire right in our faces;
1t scared me almost half to death
To see them run such races
Old Uncle Sam came there to chang
Some pancakes and some onions,
For lasses cake, to carry home,
To give his wife and young ones.
But l can't tell you half see
They Kept up such a smither;
So took my hat off-mRde bow,
And scampered home to mother.

ONE of the most successful features
of recent literary entertainment" in
town the other evening was a "bung-
whiting contest by ladies'" Each of
the contestants received a square bit
of wood from which to whittle bung
to fit large stone jug. They could
all see the hole to be filed, but none
could measure it. Prizes were given
for the best and the poorest bung, and
then they were all sold at auction. One
of them nearly fitted the bung-hole.
