Providence Journal A gentleman was in town last week whose wits stood him in
 good stead during the blizzard. He was snowbound in Oneonta, MY. He had ex- pected to be in Boston the next day, and his funds were running low. As soon as he found that an. indefinite stay was nec- essary he endeavored to telegraph to Bos- ton for money, but the wires would not work and he was ironically referred by the operator to the express agent. So to the agent the traveller went, but not to query about getting the money from Boston. He handed out hls gold watch and asked the agent to send it to himself at Boston, GO. D., $l5. Oh, yes the agent could dc that ;, he couldn't do il, at once, but when the blockade was raised the watch should go forward. The bargain was struck, the agent handed the traveller his $15, and the watch arrived the day after the traveller reached home. ,.'> 'r ..

Marcus A. Roof, who died an octogenar ian at Philadelphia last week, was one o1 the first daguerreotypers in the country
 In early life he showed some taste for DOT
 trait painting, and left his home in Gran
 vile, O., to go to Philadelphia, where he studied for time under Thomas Sully
 the painter of Washington Crossing the Delaware. He saw the possibilities ot the daguerreotype as early as 1843, and after patient experimenting became known as the leading daguerteotyper in the United States. His work won first prize Tn the worlds fair at London in 1851, and afterward at the New York Crystal Palace exhibition. The first picture he took was shown at the centennial, along with col
 leG5ion of his daguerreotypes of prominent people, It was view from the windows of the Philadelphia mint, and was done on solid silver ~a.. =:

The man, very busy with other people, answered hurriedly, 'sYou must go to he'll for your luggage. Now, Luscombe, who. was 8 somewhat pompous and very bishopy man, was dreadfulIy shocked, and felt as he said, as if the porter had struck hlm in the face. In extreme indignation he demanded where he could speak with any of the au- thorities, and was told that "the board" was then sitting upstairs.
 r. So to the board-room the bishop went straightway, and announcing himself made his complaint The chairman, professing nis regret that such offense should have been given, said he feared the man must have been. drunk, but that he should be immediately summoned to give an account If his conduct. So the porter, in great trepidation, appeared in few minutes before the august tribunal of t'the board " s"Well, sir, " said he, in reply to the chair 's,indignant questioning, "what could I do? was very busy at the time. So when the gentleman says as his name was Luscombe, could do no better than tell him to go to hell for his luggage, and he'd have found it there all right P
