miles and halt, when Betsey being ten or fifteen
yards ahead, was suddenly drawn up, and Ariel,

This curious production OF nature was never
discovered Till few days ago. when the owner
(bIr. Recce, OF Peters township living OH the ba-
! SIS oil the North mouLtain) was about 10 dig for
WATER and as there is very large spring issuing
out OF tie rocks, at the foot of hill OF consid.ra
I Die heighi and kind of sink hole some distance
above The spring, he thought he probably could
come on the stream; accordingly he comm enced
digging IN the sink hole, and had proceeded but
lew feet, when he could plainly hear the water
running, seemingly with Creatrapidity: and al the
distance oil about II feet from the surface, came
10 the water, at the lower extremity of assure in
+ the rock, which Immediately expanded into large
! and beautiful cavern, the entrance Of which is
partially Distracted by loose rocks, which, after
advancing little distance, entirely disappear, and
instead oil loose rubbish, solid rocks appear, enan-
eiied with spar of different colors. Ia every d.
rection are to be seen the most beautiful icices,
suspended from its noble and in some places ma
ieshc ceiling. Concretons, without number, and
OF almost every color size and dimension are seen
! pointing downwards from the ceiling, and nwards
from the sloping wals-some white, some red
some brown, some green, and others transparent
as glass, and all solid marble. They threaten
Tue curious adventurer with heing torn in pieces
ny their craggy points, il he attempts penetrating
any further into II; and indeed in some places he Is
obliged TO proceed in STOPPING position, in order
10 avoid them.
In proceeding up this subterraneous passage,
You are obliged TO walk in The run nearly all the
way ihe run Is III some places dry al this time
owing to the season the year. Yet it is evil
dent from the bed Of the run, and other visible
MARKS Oh inc water, that soe pGsts OF the year the
water must flow through the different channels in
large quantities Even at this time there is a
great deal running through it, but mostly through
channels alongside the principal one, as is evident
from the great noise il makes in falling over the
cFaggy rocks which impede its progress-There
are in the principal channel several falls which
might very property be denominated cataracts
me extent OF the cave is as yet unknown, as il
has been hut partially explored. The greatest
distance any person has been up it yet is about
500 feet, at which distance there was no appear
ance OF It's termination. In ascending this cave
the eye is most agreeably struck with its gran
denr-at every step new wonders present them
seiveS-here is the spar formed into trees shrubs
&c which make il have the appearance of pet |
rIhed groye-in some places the spar is formed in
to the ikeiiness Of men, birds, beasts, organs Sc,
and IN one place, raised on pedestal, is striking
resemblance OF half uniurled flag. Besides this !
there are hundreds Of other likenesses, which !
shall not here attempt description Of When we
hrst saw them, we were only surprised at their
diversity and beauty, but more minute ex- .;
animation, we wero struck with amazement know
ing them 10 be mere productions of nature; who
hitherto in solitary silence, had, in her playful
moments, unseen and unheari, dressed the scene,
as if for her owa amusement. Chris. .fdp.
