Putnam as a Spy.

Among the officers of the Revolutionary
army, none. probably. possessed more orisi-
nality than General Putnam. who was eccen-
tric and fearless. blunt in his man: crs. the
daring soldier without the polish of gen
tleman. He might we'll be called the Mari
on of the North. though he di>likcd disguise.
probably from the fact Of his lisping. which
was very apt to overthrow any trickery which
he might have III view. At that time a
from New York. was in the hands of the Brit
ish. Putnam, with few sturdy patriots. was
lurking in the vicinity. bent on driving them
from the place. Tired of lurking in ambush,
the men began to hc inpatient and impor-
tuned the general with the question as to
when they were to have a bout with the foe.
One morning he made speech something to
the following effect. which convinced them
that something was in the wind -" Fellows,
YOU have been idle too long. and so has the
ox-tcam and bag Of corn. If come back.

should not. let them have it. by hockey"

dressed as one of the commoncSt order of
Yankee farmers. and was soon at Bucks tav-
ern. which was i'll possession Of the British
troops. No sooner did the officers cSpv him
than they began to question him as to the
= whereabouts. ard finding him complete sim
pleton as they thought. they began to quiz
him. and threatened to seize his corn and
fodder. How. much do YOU ask for your
whole concern" asked they. For mercy 5
sake. gentlemen" replied the mock clodhop
per. with the most dcplorable look of entrcaty.
"only let me of. and YOU shall have my hull
team and load for nothing. and if that don't
dew, I'll give my word Ill return Tomorrow
and pay YOU heartily for your kindness and
eondescension." Well" said they, well
take your word. Leave the team and PROV
ender with lis. and we wont require any bad
bail for your appearance Putnam gave up
the team. and sauntcred about for an hour or
so, gaining all the information he wished

On the 1lth, Marshal Donaldson raised a
force of ruffians, embracing Major Buford's

the Goth of May the Rufans reached the

paralyzcd with amazemcnt as they looked up
on the angry and dcmoniac throngs by which
their homes were surrounded. But they de-
tcrnlincd on mastering ALL as in the DAYS of
Rome. from twelve to seventy. and resolved
to beat back the ruthless invaders of their
peace and prosperity, or fall like earnest men
and patriots. The maralders. though out
numbering their opponents five to one. were
yet afraid to risk fair engagement. and sent
bogus Sheriff Jones to secure their arms and
cannon by promising protection to life and
property. Deceived and BETRAYED bv these
pledges. in an evil hour the free state men
agreed to the terms. and the ruiians were
allowed to pour into their city. and then. re-

the prices quoted is caused by the demand
