Since we're so bless'd, let's eat and drink With thankfulness and gladness: Should we kick o'er our cup of joy, It would be _sartin_ madness. CHORUS. _Yankey Doodle, Boys; Huzza! Down outside, up the middle-- Yankey Doodle_, fa, sol, la, _Trumpet, Drum, and Fiddle._ * * * * * "Going snacks." At the time of the plague in London, a noted body searcher lived whose name was _Snacks_. His business increased so fast that, finding he could not compass it, he offered to any person who should join him in his hardened practice half the profits; thus, those who joined him were said to go with _Snacks_. Hence going _snacks_, or dividing the spoil. _Salem Observer,_ 1823. _A Word omitted by Webster_. In a history of the second parish of Beverly, published not long since, a vote passed in 1776, to take measures to collect the "behindments" of certain persons in the parish, is noticed. "Behindments" meant arrearages. _Salem Observer,_ 1837. * * * * * The following curious collection belonged to Mr. Samuel McIntire, the architect of the South Meeting-House in Salem, whose spire is acknowledged to be one of the best proportioned and handsomest in New England: _FOR SALE,_ SUNDRY Articles belonging to the Estate of SAMUEL MCINTIRE, deceased.--VIZ. 1 elegant BARREL ORGAN, 6 feet high, 10 barrels; 1 Wind Chest of an Organ; ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA, complete; Paladio's Architecture, best kind; 1 Ware's do.; 1 Paine's do.; 2 vols.
