A correspondent of,be Manchester, N. H. Mirror, furnishes the following :

A correspondent oftbe Manchester, N. H. Mirror, furnishes the following :
 When the British were in Boston, 178O, my father was in a barber's shop waiting to be shaved. A British officer came in and wanted to be shaved, provided the barber could do it with out drawing blood, and, saying that if he did not he would run his sword through him. The barber was fright ened and dared not undertake the task. A little boy sitting there spoke up and said he would do it. He looked up at the boy with astonishlnent but the boy stripped off his coat and told him to take seat. He took off the officers beard without drawing blood, and was paid a guinea for his trouble. The officer then asked him how he ventured to do it, as he had been to every barber's shop in town and no one before dared to do it.
 The boy replied" thought should see blood as soon as you would, and if ! had, l would have cut your throat to the neck bone in one minute"
