Ludicrous.
--In Leetown, opposite St. Louis, which is built on the frozen river, during the "cold spell," a barkeeper built a fire in his tent, and sat before it on a three legged stool, welling his shins, when the fire thawed a hole in the ice, and the man fell in and has not yet reappeared. His assistant, a verdant Irish boy, was asked where the proprietor was, and replied: "Faith, he's gone into the cellar."
