 .4uful Occuyrcnce.- We have been furnished with the following extract of letter, dated Feb. 24th, 1882, from a gentleman in Elizabethton, Ten. to a citizen of this place:
 ssOn Sunday morning, the 18th inst. about two hours before day, three or four men having determined to take a fox chase, started a fox, which the hounds soon pursued into a cave, three or four miles from this place. Some of the company descended into the cave, and built bark fire, with the view of driving the Fox out with the smoke, and thenwentto aneighbor's house and took breakfast. They then returned, Incom- papy with two others, so that there were now six men to wit: Jesse, Alfred, and Dluford Humphreys, William Quinn, Samuel Mcheeilan and N iiiiiian1 Boyd. The latter went into the cave, but soon returned, telling tie others that he was very sick, and advising them not to ven- ture in--bnt McKeehan observed that he had been in many times before, and could goin and stay tillsun down. Heac- cordingly descended, but was, na short time heard to exclaim-my light is out and am dying! Bluford Humphreys and Quinn went to his assistance with another light, but was soon heard tto ut ter the same cry. This would have de- tered ordinary menfromexposing them selves to the same hazard, but Alfred ] and Jesse Humphreys, with the intres
