WONDERFUL CAVE.

A most extraordinary cave WAS discov-
cred in Howard county. (says late Mis-
souri, paper,) between Glasgow and Coo
per's bottom. One of the farmers of the
neighburhood, went to an adjacent hill side
for the purpose ofquaryiAg it. In striking
the earth with hoe, or some similar inn
plement, sound was emitted plainly in
dicaling that the hill side was hollow be-
meath, and. proceeding to remove the dirt
covering the surface. he discovered a wall
built of stone, and built evidently by hu-
man hands. This wall he displaced, and
il gave him entrance TO the mouth Of a
cave. which, upon subsequent examination.
he found a most extraordinary natural GU
rioslty. The cave has been exp Iored to
the distance of nearly 900 yards. Twen-
ty-five or thirty yards from the entrance is
sort of room, the sides of which, accor-
ding 10 all account we see in the elias
Cow Pilot presents a most brilliant aud
wonderful appearance. The writer, who
entered The cave with lantern. says:
II had not proceeded FAR before enter
| ed the principal chamber that by a single
light presented The most magnlfceu, that
ever belleld. The ceiling of this splen.
did cavern Is some e eighteen OF twenty feel
high, aud of heclagnn form. the whole
