though he shouldered his musket, and fought
the bravest among the brave. A British
officer, distinguishing him by his noble bear
ing, took gun from private, and, marking
his man, shot him head. Thus fell the brave
Warren at the commencement of career
which promised gloriously. Putnam also
seems not to have had the command on this
memorable occasion, but his daring spirit, in
the then lack of precise military subordina-
ton, seized the reins of authority, and was
the animating soul of the engagement-anon
cheering the men, and again threatening to
blow out the brains Of some impetous ones,
who dsobeying orders. were firing before
the moment he enjnined.
We do not know whether it be now stand
ing, but in the fall of 1880, we saw at old
Greenwich, Con-, the yellow wooden house,
where Gen. Putnam was shaving, when a
scout brought him the intelligence of Gov.
Tyron's movements. Tradition states that
he did not wait to finish, preparing to shave
the British instead. Springing into his sad
die, he was soon at the head Of his company
after the conclusion of sklful mannuver
put spurs to his horse, and dashed down the
precipice at Horseneck-a feat such as was
never before or since accomplished, and
which would be stoutly disputed, but that it
is too we'll substantiated to be doubted. The
strata of rock were here naturally broken
into steps, not probably, as it is sometimes
stated, artificial stairs. Any person who
will take the trouble now to walk over the
spot, looking at the abyss below over the
side of the present road, may we'll consider
the flying leap as miraculous preservation.
The astonshed dragons whom the old
General had so precipitotely distanced, hur
red to the brink of the rock just in time,
with staring eyes and gaping mouth, to wit
ness his leave-taking, as with bullet whis-
telling through his beaver, he raised himself
in his strrups tlourished his sword above
his head, and disappeared in wood, where
the turn of the road hid him from 81 chit.
