PERILoUs ADVENTURE IN THE MAMMOTH CAvE.-The following incident, says the Buffalo Advertiser, is related of il party who visited the NJ MamInoth Cave:
 A wedding party went 10 this to spend the honey -moon. While there they went 10 visit those beautiful portions of the cave which lie beyond the river Jordan. In order 10 do ths, person has 10 sail down he river nearly a mile, before reaching the avenue which leads oG from the river to the op p0site side, for there shore landing place be- tween the point that is below the other, for the river never fills the whole width of of the cave, and IS several feet deep where the side walls descend into the water The party had descended the river, visited lbe cave beyond, and had again embarked on the water for their return hnmeward. Aiier they had ascended the river about half way, some ol the party who were in high gee, got into d irulc and ove, turned llie boat. Their lights were all exlinguished, their matches wet, the boat filled water and sank immediately, and there they in the backness of darkness, up to their chns in wa ter.
 ''No doubt they would have all been lost, had it hot been for the guides great presence of mind He charged then to remain perfectly still. Ter 1T they moved single step they might get out of their depth in water, and swimming would not avail them, Tor they could not where 10 swim to. He knew that
 f,hey could bear the coIdness oi the for any length of time, they would be safe for another guide would he sent from the cave house to what had become of them And in this periOus condition, up to their mouths m water, in the midst of darkness more than night, four mlles under ground, they mained for upwards of five hours, at the end of which time another guide To their relief Mat thew, or Mat, the guide who rescued them, told me that when he got 10 where they were, his fellow guide, Stephen, (the Columbus of the caye) was swimming around the rest of the party, cheering them, and directing his movements, while swim ming, by the sound of their voices, which were raised one and all, in prayer and application for deliverance
