Hammond's boys were experts in gunning atitf fishing, sad Mr. Webster, who always had an especial fondness fur such sports, was often ac< oouipanied by them in his excursions, and became well acquainted with tlie family.

Young Luring fuil inclined to chop off the hand with a hatchet that lay bard by, bat he refrained, and bethought biuiscitof; a powerful canatio vitriol and other pens.'rating atuffa that were used in the teating of tho purity of silver ar i other metala. One drop of this would eat instantly into the flesh and produce poisonous norea in tea tuinutaa tiuie. He cautiously dropped a little upon the burglar's Jiand, and awaited the result 'Bill," at length exclaimed the burglar tohti comrade, "I've got a cursed burn ing on the hack of my hand.

The clerk permitted them to go on a while uninterruptedly, knowiag that at any moment he could 'op their efforts by crying oct, but he hoped to hear some watchman passing the front of the store, upon whota ha would call t ? secure the ragues, Mid he resolved.to wait for this until it would do to wait no longer.
