56 Men and Things in Albany Two Centuries Ago, 



carted away, and Sir William Wallace, Charlotte Temple, 

 Gen. Jackson, the Goddess of Liberty, the Witch of Endor, 

 the Sleeping Beauty, the big turtle and the organ, were 

 dumped promiscuously into a canal boat, whence they 

 found their way to the Mississippi, and \sjipre set up anew 

 in a floating museum, and for aught that is known to the 

 contrary, are still voyaging up and down the father of 

 waters, and thrilling thousands of admiring people with a 

 pang of sweet emotion, as of old in Albany. 



[For a more particular and more extended account of some of the locali- 

 ties and ancient streets, tlie reader is referred to the Collections on the History 

 of Albany, vol. ii, pp. 9-31; and to tlie Annals of Albany, passim; also
