PAINFUL AFFAIR. - The Crockett Printer says that Mrs. Blair, wife of Col. John Blair, was badly burned one day last week in endeavoring to put out a fire, which originated in the woods and threatened their premises.

Mrs. Blair died from the effects of the burning, suffering most horrible torture, such as a burn alone can inflict. Col. Blair himself is so badly burned in his endeavor to save his wife that it is thought both his arms or hands will have to be amputated.
