A HEAVY GAME OF PoKER!-Few people in
this quiet city little dream or know of the many
singular and curious events which are daily
occurring, were it not for the "locar of the
public press, whose hundred eyes" see, and
delicate ears catch even the slightest sound of
what is going on. A most mysterious thing
happened few days since, which, had it been
known beforehand, would have stirred the
hearts of every one with concern, and livli-
est sympathy We allude to the sudden de-
mise and subsequent burning of the remains
of an old and highly esteemed public function
ary, whom every one knew and lived with a
love nearly akin to that of brothers. 1t seems
that one day last week q peculiar procession
was seen to issue, in the afternoon, from the
door of public business place on Fore street
First there came an officer, bearing upon hi
shoulders a long white sack, tied at the mouth
which contained a body (as subsequently ascer
tained) followed by an ex-senator, Insurance
Agent a Common Councilman, two venerable
Bank Directors, and the "Old Harry" to sweal
them, brought up the rear.
This select company Of relatives and friends
walked in sort of funeral procession, some
distance up the street to the basement of 9
building, where a large fire had been previous
ly built, and after removing the sack and dis
membering its contents, cast them into the
glowing furnace. While they were being con
sumed, these men, Incredible as it may seem
with hardness of heart little thought of by
others, actually did play poker" for for an
hour, the "stales" being one hundred and six
ty-six thousand dollars. ,r.5. -.,.t

this world. God alone can now decide the real
character of man. The time will come when
moral distinctions will be more clearly seen by
