Or a bright July morning, a fam GUS
scientist of England started with two gen

steep and lofty snow-mountain in Switzer-
land.
Though experienced mountaineers, they
took with them Jenni, the boldest guide
| in that district. After reaching the sum
nit of the Morteratsch, they started back
and soon arrived at a steep slope covered
with thin snow. They were lashed to-
gether with strong rope, which was tied
to each mans waist.

men," said Jenni, s.for false step here
might start the snow. and send us down
in an avalanche"
He bad scarcely spoken when the
field of snow began to slide down the
icy mountain side, carrying the unfor-
tunate climbers with it at a terrible pace.
A sleeper slope was before them, and at
the end of it precipice! The three fore
most men were almost buried in tie
whirling snow. Below them were the
jaws Of death Everything depended up
on getting a foothold
Jenni shouted loudly, SHALT, haiti" and
with desperate energy, drove his iron
nailed BOOTS into the firm ice beneath the
moving snow.
Within few rods of the precipice,
Jenni got hold with his feet, and was
able to bring the party up all standing,
when two seconds more would have
swept them into the chasm.

To the Editor OF the Chronicle.
1t was with great pleasure that OBJ
served in the last issue of the CHRONI'
Gle the announcement that Col. Poor
man would be q candidate for Cong ress
at the approaching Convention, and
beg leave to set forth briefly q few
reasons that seem to me to entitle him
to the support of the delegation from
Belmont county.
l believe I can say, without fear oi
contradiction, that he has been the
ablest and most fearless advocate Bel
mont county has produced, of those
principles Of human justice, which, en-
grated into National law, have given
the Republican party a name that will
live forever. l cannot forget thai
when the question of negro suffrage
was first brought before the people o.
this county, and many of our leading
men seemed tossed upon the pillows o.
doubt and uncertainty, Col. Poormar
stepped boldly to the front, took po
sition in advance of his party, cham
pioned the measure, and advocated il
unflinchingly to its final triumph.
he has been a consistent, earnest
and able advocate of a tariff for the
protection of American industries, anC
his speeches in support of this doctrine
have shown a depth of thought anC
study, and a consequent knowledge
equalled by few. and excelled by none
he is in fact clear exponent of sOunC
principles of political economy, anC
upon all questions affecting the right
of capital and labor, he has spoken will
such force and clearness as to gain fol
him the confidence OF the industria
classes to greater degree than any
man whose name will be presented Il
to the District Convention.
In reply to those Republicans wit
object that in 1872 he acted with tn,
Liberal party, it may be said tina
many other good men went off will
the same movement, who have sine
done efficient and valuable service 70
the Republican cause.
These and other reasons that nigh
be named, demand, in my judgment
that we honor the man whose talen
and courage have honored US, an,
give him in the Sreubenville Conven
tion, delegation solid as a wall from
Monroe to Harrison and from Guern
lSey to the river. REPUBLICAN.
