1 \NKEK Mode of Testing Courage.—It
is well known that in the time of the old*
French war much jealousy existed between,
the British and Provincial officers. A Bri
tish Maj'or, deeming liimselfinsuked by Gen
eral (then Capt.) Putnam, sent a challenge.—
Puluatn instead of giving him a direct answer,
requested the pleasure of a persona! interview,
with the Major. He tame to Putnam’s tetlr,.
and found liiUKSeate'd on a- sjjjah keg, quietly
smoking his pipe, and demanded what com
munication, if any, Putnam had to make.—
“ What you know,” said Putnam, “I’m bug
a poor miserable Yankee, that, never fired a.
pistol in my life, and you must perceive
that if we fired with pistols you have a due
advantage of me. Here are two powdee-
kegs ; 1 have bored a hole, and inserted a slow
match in each; if you will be so good as to-
seat yourself there, I will light tL&matches,
and he who dares to sit the longest without
squirming, shall be called the bravest fellow..”
The tent was full of officers and, men, who.
were heartily tickled with the strangedevi-ce-vlf
the “old wclf,” 3fl.d compelled the Major by
their laughter to squul. The signal was given,
and the matches lighted; Putnam contiu4W>6l
smoking, quite ind fferently, without watch
ing at all the progressive diminution of the
matches—but the British officer, though a
Grave tellow, could not help casting longing
and lingering looks downwards, and his ter
rors increased as the length of the matches*
diminished. Thespectators withdrew, onesy
one, to get out of the way of the expected ex
plosion. At length the fire was within an
inch of - the keg, the Majot, unable to endure
longer, jumped up, and drawing out his match,
cried out, “ Putnam, this is wilful manli-t;
draw out your match; I yield.” “My dear
tellow, cried Putnam, “ don’t be in such a
hurry, they’re nothing but kegs of onions!”

boois. The thief was apprehended and itn
prisoned, to await his trial, which did no! I
take place until th6 following slimmer. The ,
evidence against the man was conclusive,
“goilty ” w;is rendered, and Judge E. pro-i
ceeded to deliver the sentence of the court to j
the following effect:
“'Tiiu Elannagaii, you are found guilty of ;
stealing a pair of boots. You stole them in
the fall of the year, which aggravates tho of
fence, for, had you stolen them iu the heat of
summer, and the sufferer by vour rascality I
had been unable to procure any other, he j
could Itave walked abroad barefooted, without ;
serious inconvenience ; but, had such been [
the ease in winter, he would have been obli- j
ged to coniine himself to his dwelling ; he j
would have been tiuable to pursue his ordi- j
nary occupation, and an indigent, interesting. ;
and virtuous family might havp been reduced j
to the extremity of suffering—yes, sir, might j
have expired in llie agonies of starvation, in i
consequence of the loss of a pair of boots!
through your wickedness. All this is within j
the bounds of probability. But the case is
worse than this. You stole the boots from a j
great man—fro.ni Judge Chase—and not only !
(tom Judge Chase, hut from a Senator in the !
great Americvn Congress, and that, too, pre- j
vious to the comineitccufeiit of an im; ortatif!
session—a momentous period, uJien it was'
expected, on all sides, that war against Great '
Britain was to be declared. See, and stand j
implements they could get, set about bela
boring him again, till at last he was unable
to make further resistance ; but still life re
mained m him. The crew, having imbibed
the idea from some old superstition, said he
would not die till sundown. But at night, he
still remained alive, and i: was not until the
following morning that he was fairly dead.—
On measuring Him, U was lound that lie was
fourteen feet iu length and fourteen inriies in
eircttmferenc e. He was skinned, and the skin
stuffed and brought to this port, and we.saw
it yesterday at the Store of Messrs. D. Niek-
ersqi; Co. Commercial wharf. It is speck
led on.the back, aqd has beautiful yellow
spots on the belly, where are scales about ap
inch and a half in length, and halt' an inch
breadth.
How the snake got on board the vessel is
not certainly known, but il is supposed he
crawled tip through the rudder case. It is
thought to be a land snake, and how he came
to be so far at 3ea it is difficult to tell.
So great was the shock to the nerves of the
mate on putting iii: hand upon him in the
round house that for many nights afterwards
he could get no quiet sleep, but was constantly
dreaming of snases, and would frequently cry
out in Iris sleep that there were snakes chasing
him.
Probably some of our scientific naturalists
will be ghle tq tell what kind of a serpent it is.
For our oivn put we do not pretend to know,
never having seen one of the kind before.

might have been disposed to cast his vote
against the war, and from the even division ol
the remaining members upon the question,
his vote might have been the turning point
of the matter. By the loss of his boots, he
might have been delayed several days in ob

gentlemen who spoke upon tins subject,
preserved great reserve -lest the secret should
come to the knowledge of the world. Sir
F. Burdett, who went further than others,
thus spoke of it: He stated,
“ That l;e had seen the experiments, and
that although he was qo authority on th£
subject, nor cotfid any one who had not been
iu service duly appreciate the effect of this
discovery, yet this he could say, that what
he had seen was, in his mind, the most as
tonishing sight that could be conceived, and
the instrument -Le:ng so small and trjfling
compared with the effect produced, it appear
ed quite a marvel. It was clear that some,
means of explosion more powerful that; gun
powder had been discovered. The hon. bart.
then proceeded to give a description of the
effects of the explosion, which shattered
large and solid pieces of oak fastened to
gether in the strongest manner with iron
damps, shivered them from a distance of
200 or 300 yards, as if they had been stiuck
ment, and if von miss a good trade do not blame him.

ANiMAL MAGNETISM.
The excitement on the subject 1 of animal 1
magnetism does not seem to abate in Boston.
The Post of Wednesday morning contains
the following paragraphs :
Animal Magnetism—Result favor
able to Pit. Coi.lyeb.—Yesterday after
noon, ilte committee held their fifth tneeiing
in the Temple. The member opposed to.
Dr. Collyer's theory objected to having any
more experiments attempted upon the regu-
(.!;■ subjects, Frederick and Sarah, on the
ground that they suspected collusion to ex.-
ist between them and Dr. C. It was then
proposed that he should try an experiment
ou a gentleman present, who was a stranger
io die Ltoctoi, but not to some tnembets of
the committee, The opponents of Dr. €-
said they would be satisfied, with successful
experiments ou this gcutleinan, as they had
fqll confidence in his intelligence and in.-
tegrily.
Dr. C. then commenced the magnetizing
operation, and put the gentleman to sleep,
and kept him in that state for upwards of an.
hour. Whilst asleep he caused thesnbject’s
fingers to move, and hands to tremble, by
holding his own fingers over them, and'alsil
by holding a natural magnet over them-—
After various other experiments, Dr. C. by
the reyers'e process, awakened thegentleman.
At the close of the business the following
resolve was passed unanimously.,
‘ Resolved, That while this committee re
frain from expressing any, decisive opinion as
to the science or principles of animal mag
netism, they freely confess that in the experi
ments of Dr.. Gollyer, certain appearances
have been presented, which cannot be ex
plained on the supposition of collusion, or by
a reference to any physiological principles,
known to them.’
The Second Wife.—An honest farmer irv
the stale of Pennsylvania married a Miss
from a fashionable boaiding school, for his.-
second wife. He was struck dumb with her
eloquence, atid gaped with wonder at tfi»
wile’s learning.
“ Y’ou may,” said he, “ bore a hole through 1
the solid aiith, and chuck in a mill stone, and-
she’ll tell you to a shavin’ how long the stone
will be going clean through. .She has learn;,
