inquisitive, Gen. Wool decided to detain
the flag until late tomorrow. 1t is high

slant intrusion of the enemy. Whenever

"OLD Pur' FRIGHTESED.-It is generally supposed that Israel Putnam, of Revolutionary memory, was pretty brave man. The stories that have been related of him about his desent into the wofs den, of his escape from the British down the stone stairs of Horseneck, and his duel with the British officer sitting upon keg of onion seed are we'll remembered. A correspondent of the Norwich Courier, however, says that " Old Put" brave as he was, got thoroughly frightened once in his life. It was in this wise:
 It is very generally known that rattlesnake that has been recently killed, and without dislo- eating any part, will, on being raised, recoil in such manner as to strike his head against the hand. When Putnam was alive and lived in Pomfret, some one caught a rattlesnake, and gave an opportunity to all that came up to test their courage. But none stood the test on the first trial as they saw the head slowly rising, and before it touched the hand, they were sure to drop it. Soon Putnam was seen to approach, and every one thought he would not finch, as his courage was well known. Being invited to try it, he, after suspiciously eyeing the reptile, took hold and raised it steadily, slowly; but no sooner had it's weight fairly left the ground, than up came the head and down dropped the snake. A little discomfted by the laugh which followed the natural impulse that caused him to quit his hold, he again seized the tail, and held on til the head simply touched his hand, when he drop ped 1t again like a red hot iron, amid the loud gufaws of the spectators. Probably his courage never had severer test than 1t had on that oc- casion. Such is the story current among the old men of Pomfret and the adjoining towns.

HENRY WINTER DAv1s.-This gentleman has begun stumpiDg his District vigorously. He ad- dressed an out-of-door Union mass meeting in Baltimore Friday evening, when, according to the Patriot he made most favorable impression on some of his strongest opponents According to the American, which refuses to support him, he said: ~ { aHe was for prosecuting the war with vigor and rapidity. He would have Government first, slowly but surely, to mature it's plans. and then to strike home. It was all delusion to suppose there could be no restoration of raternal feeling between the sections. The people of Massachu- sets or of South Carolina could live each under the laws of the other and not be aware of the difference; and after this war people would for get that their fathers were engaged in fruitless attempt to tear down, at the bidding of small smDiuon, the greatest fabric of human liberty

NOSES.

 An acquaintance of ours has conceived . thes ory that the character of man is best indicated Tn the face by the shape of the nose. We tried to convince him that if any one feature dsserved the distinction of an exponent of character. it was the EYE. He was willing to allow that the eye indicated temporary emotions, but the per. manent deciding character was proclaimed to he world by the nose. 2 FN
 There is the large, massive nose rising, like tower of strength, in the middle of the visaee- how much firmness does it not manifest All great men have such noses. No one is it to be ruler of the people without such nose. .sN
 There is the Roman nose, indicating power combined with dignity. Such nose can always be trusted. None but men of integrity ever wear them. The acquiine goes g step further. It combines severity and cruelty with dignity and honor. A man, with one of these hooked peaks, may do many tyrannical things, but never any mean ones. The history of the world proves
 There is the pug nose, showing humor, wit and often folly. There is no force of character under this nose. The man is influenced by the slight relations of things. He may be good natured, is sprightly. but coquettish. Her affections are not to be depended upon. She can love too ma. ny at once. Pug nosed people are ickle: AASJ AoSV "LA tAae 10 AVNeiJ AVNe MI bu&t tuVy
 cau."
 There is that most indescribable, most hateful of all noses, which resembles the ace of clubs It is connected with the sensual, the low, and the unworthy. Shun the man with such nose. His motives will be dirty and mean.
 There is the bottle nose, little above the last, showing animal appetite always indulged, though from its size manifesting some generosity of tenn per- Such nose may do wrong things, but gel. dom mean ones.
 There is the long thin nose of the fanatic, with dilated nostrils, prominent but lean. Men with this nose have no sensibilities, no impulses. They never see clearly; are obstinate, pertina. cious, and unreasonable. They are often mar. tyrs in wrong cause, and are always willing to make others martyrs who oppose them. ,
 There is the short, sharp nose whose pinched up termination indicates stinginess and bad tenn. per. Never marry woman with such nose. She will pull your hair for you before the honey moon is over. She is a vixen and shrew It marks avarice in man.
 There is the Grecian nose-a straight line run- ming from the top of the forehead to it's square chisseed end. It is the nose of beauty, of worth. of benevolence. The gods were sculptured with it. The noblest of men are painted with it. Alas it is seldom seen in its perfection in this work-day world
 Such is the theory of our friend aud such his belief in NOSES. We beg our lady readers when they have finished its perusal, not to rush at once to the mirror to see what noses they have got.

Now if you were to go to bed at six or seven o'clock, as they do, think you would also wake up as early in the morning.
