Three holds had tlnis passed awnv'j I hev !uui l:."g'ed. and ram, ami drat.IT. J aid cliattcil, and had a g??od thnogon jiftlly ; so tlrnt at about the usual hour ' >f shutting ?i]? shop, each of the parry felt particularly first rate. "Come," said Charles Hatch?one of the company?"let's all liquor, ami then have a game of high low Jack!' 'So I say,'' exclaimed another, "who's got the cards?" "Fetch on your kcords," drawled nut'a third, his cyfcs halt closed, through the effect of the liquor lie had drank. Alter drinking nil around, an old pine table was drawn up be tor, thej fireplace where hpriied brightly a| large lire of hemlock l"gs, wh'ch wouhl map and crack?throwing large live coals out upon the hearth. All drew up around the table, seating themselves on whatever came handiest. Four of them bad rolled ; up to the table some kegs, which from their weight were supposed to contain ! nails. "Now," said Hatch, how shall we I play?every one for himself 1" "No, have partners." growled one mail. "No, hanged if I'll play so," shouted the former, bringing his fist down up?j on the table, knocking one candle out ; of the 6tick, and another upon the! tlo< >r. "Come, come," paid Hatch, "no tptarrellingr; all who pay for having partners, stand up." "Three arose. 4'Now all who say each one for hi in sell', stand up." The remaining four immediately got up. "You see, Barclay," said Hatch, "the majority are against you. Come, | will you play {" "Well, as I don't want to be on the opposite side, I'll play," answered Bareley, somewhat cooled down. Mr. I'utnatn was not in the store that evening, and the clerk, who was busy behind the counter, had taken very little notice of the proceedings.? Ab-.ut half-past ten Mr. Putnam -i ? i. ? 1 1 utougiit lie womu step over to the srore, and Bee lliat everything w:ut sate. Ah he went in he walked up to the tire. When within a tew setps o| where the men were Bitting, he started back in horror, liefoie him sat even men, halt'crazy with drink and the excitement ot playing eards.-l'liere they were, within a few feet ot the lire just described, and four ot them 9e<Ued on keys of pouxicr. jJarchiv?who was a very heavy man ?had pressed in the head of the keg ->n which J.e sat, bursting the And pressing the powder' out through he chinks.

In less time than we have taken, to describe this thrilling scene, Mr. J?ntnam had jw^urcd the water and coin plutvlv -saturated the powder on tin ihmr, and extinguished the lire, so that thu explosion was impossible.
