IAuGHAnLE Adventure. During the

Vermont, being apprehensiVe that the
accumulated weight Of the snow upon
tho roof Of the barn might do some
damage, resolved to prevent 1t by sea
sonably shovelling il of. lie therefore
asconded it, having first, for fear the
snow might all slide off at once, and
himself with it, fastened TO his waist
one end Of rope. and giving the other
10 his wife, he went 10 work; but fear
ing still for his safety, he said:
my dear, tic tho rope around your
waist"
No sooner had she done this when
of went the snow poor minister aud
all, and up went his wife. Thus, on
one side Of the barn the aatounded and
coufounded clergyman hung; but on
the other side hung bis wife, high and
dry, in majesty sublime, dangling at
the other end Of the rope. AT that
moment however, a gentleman luckily
passed by, and delivered them from
their perilous situation.

Gibbons, not hundred feet from his

safety of herself and the six children at
her side Speedily the water drove
her to the roof, where clinging to the
chimney, they seemed somewhat secure;
but the rocking Of tho house, three

to fall. Meanwhile Mrs. Marshane, be-
ing in the house above, reached up to

than in her own maternal arms. Mrs.
Owings was seen to hold it as long as

then a resident of St Louis, and on his
arrival in this city Frank Blair began
the practice Of law in partnership with
his brother. Their old Office, on the
corner Of Third and Chestnut streets,
is well remembered. Frank has been
an ingeterate ofiico-saeker since 1852,
when he was first elected to the Legis-
lature on the Benton ticket. He was
re elected in 1854, although on the oc-
casion Colonel Banton himself was de-
feated fer Congress In 1856 Blair was
elected to Congress as a Benton free
soiler, but in 1858 he was defeated bv
}. r. Barrett He contested Barrett's
seat and the House Of Representatives
ordered a new election which took
place in August, 1860. Blair aud Bar
rett were both candidates for the long
and short term, and both were elected
Blair for the long and Barrett for the
short term. Blair ran again in 1862
and was returned as elected, bat Sam
uel Knox, the radical candidate, sue
cessfully contested the election, and
Blair was ousted In 1866 Blair was
the conservative candidate for the Leg
islature, and was defeated by the radi-
cal. He was to have been the candi-
