The experiment Of blowing up the walls
Of w, IT. Gleason's granite building in the
square formed by the junction of Summer
and High streets, proved perfectly success
full to day. The first charge of five pounds
was effective in blowing out the northorly
wall only. but the second charge of twelve
p0unds-one pound to cartridge-lifted
the massive walls from their foundation,
and they dropped perpendicplarly into the
cellar and upon the sidewalk, scarcely a
stone diverging from q direct downward
course so far as to fall into the street.
The safe of Westcall & Co., on High
street, was recovered to-day, and its con
tents of $l50,000 found uninjured, after
sixty-twO hours exposure to the intense
heat. The locality had been guarded by a
detachment of dragons.

@littee TO accept contributions from other
