It's a familiar combo that's occurred quite a few times:
[Event "Unknown"]
[Site "Unknown"]
[Date "1869.??.??"]
[EventDate "?"]
[Round "?"]
[Result "1-0"]
[White "Bird Henry E"]
[Black "Unknown"]
[ECO "C37"]
[WhiteElo "?"]
[BlackElo "?"]
[PlyCount "28"]

1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.d4 g4
5.Ne5 Qh4+ 6.g3 fxg3 7.Qxg4 g2+ 8.Qxh4 gxh1=Q
9.Nc3 Be7 10.Qh5 Nc6 11.Nxf7 Nf6 12.Nd6+ Kd8
13.Qe8+ Rxe8 14.Nf7# 1-0

Here's another in a similar vein, but this time, white dishes it out. You might recognise the name:
[Event "Unknown"]
[Site "Unknown"]
[Date "1869.??.??"]
[EventDate "?"]
[Round "?"]
[Result "1-0"]
[White "Bird Henry E"]
[Black "Unknown"]
[ECO "C37"]
[WhiteElo "?"]
[BlackElo "?"]
[PlyCount "28"]

1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.d4 g4
5.Ne5 Qh4+ 6.g3 fxg3 7.Qxg4 g2+ 8.Qxh4 gxh1=Q
9.Nc3 Be7 10.Qh5 Nc6 11.Nxf7 Nf6 12.Nd6+ Kd8
13.Qe8+ Rxe8 14.Nf7# 1-0
