DISCOVERY OF A CAvE.-Several weeks
since, Mr.. Dilworth discovered in the
woods;on the farm on which he resides,
in Pocopson township, Chester county,
cave, quite mysteriously situated. He
was out in the woods for the purpose of
pointing out certain timber which h.
wished to be cut down, when his dog
attracted his attention to an apparently
singular hole in the ground, which on
examination, proved to be cave of re-
cent construction. The cave was exca-
waited in the side of hill, was about six
feet square, and Of sufficient height to
permit man TO stand in It erect. The
earth thrown out from the cave was
carefully covered with leaves, as if not
to betray this underground retreat. 1t
was entered by a trap door from the top,
the door Of which was carefully con.
structed and securely hung with strap
hinges, and when shut was even with
the SURFACE Of the ground. This door
was also covered over with leaves. In
the front of the cave there was small
aperture, as If intended TO admit light.
There was nothing found in the cave
but an ordinary coverlet, which was quite
damp from the moisture of the ground.
The cave was located in the midst of
very large tract of woodland, and remote
from any dwelling or public road. To
whom does this mysterious dwelling be-
long? Was it intended for the resi-.
dence of some hermit, who wished to
absent himself from. society, or did it
belong to some band Of plunderers, who
wished to secret their stolen booty in
this place! Most likely the latter. The
boards from which the door is construct
ed, and even the hinges, We learn, are
identified as belonging to persons in that
vicinity, from whom they had been
stolen. A pick, shovel, and other tools
have been found in the vicinity of the
cave, which also belong to people in
the nelghborhood, and were doubtless
stolen to be used in digging out the
earth.-Record.

New YORK ExTRAvAGANcE.-At one
OF our city hotels, a merchant doing busi-
ness down town, has rooms for which
he pays four hundred and eighty dollars
a week. His family consists of five
persons. At another hotel, Wall street
broker-a bachelor pays one hundred
and seventy.five dollars for two rooms.
His board is not included-two items
which will probably amount to two
hundred and fifty dollars week. There
is house just finished in Madison ave-
nue., the walls of which are finished off
with the most costly papier mache.
Another place is now going up on one
of the avenues, the paintings on the
walls of which will cost over one hum
bred thousand dollars. A rich widow
may be seen every day in Broadway, in
carriage that cost over three thousand
dollars. There is an old fellow now
living in Brooklyn who, four years ago,
was a journeyman tailor, but who sud-
denly became rich by the death of a
relative, in whose vaults there ere stor-
ed over twenty thousand dollars worth
Of choice wines. These are but few of
of the items of New York extravaganza.

Dedication Of the New Eall by the Cons OF
Temperance.

The beautiful Hall, occupying third story
Of the block recently erected on the cast side Of
King street, near lIorIJeck's alley, was dedica-
ted, rs proposed, last evening, by the Sons OF
Tempcrancc, us halsJr their meetings, as we'll
as for the general purposes Of the order. / nc
different divisions and societies, marshalled un
der their several officers, moved IN procession
from their old Hail, corner King and Went,
worth. streets. in accordance with their announce
mcnt, AID reaching the new one, were received
bv larse and brilliant asscmblage of ladies and
gentlemen Ascending two flights OF stairs,
and turning either to the right or left, you enter
through ante-chambers Il large and spacious
room, which strikes the eye rs admirably
adapted to its purposes. On the four sides,
seats were arranged for the officers and Sons ct
the Order, the audience occupying benches IN
the centre The services were opened by a
SONG of welcome, followed by 4 prayer from the
Rev, Edward Il. Wrinkle. The address Of drd.
ication was delivered by A. G. Magrath, Esq.
1t was evident from the first, that the orator
had riveu himself to his subject, in its length
and breadth, with all that zeal and energy
whicl, belongs to his character, and which an
enterprise So large and generous in the views 1t
entcrtains and the Object it proposes to accom-
nlisl, is 50 well calculated to draw out. The
evils Of ntempcrance were disscctel, held up
and pictured, were pursued into and driven from
MI heir hiding places, and the Demon Alcohol,
the father Of them all, WAS not left an inch OF
ground upon which to. rest the sole OF his foot.
The interest inspired by the appearance and
manner of the speaker, with the power and IN
hueucc of his remarks, will not soon cease to be
felt. The address occupied nearly two hours IN
its delivery. We conclude, OF course that 1t
will be published.
The Lcdcatow exercises were conducted by
p. G.. W. p james Tuppcr, assisted by r. w.
p. i. c. prcsSIey John l.. Bell, I. \. Slmons,
ir, T.. Thavcr, and w. K. Hunter, and were va
ricd bv oics executed most effectively by the
choir.
The audience WAS large. including not only
Il full representation of our temperance organl-
cations in the city, but visiting friends from the
country, and Il very large proportion st the tar
sex, whose smiles IRE ever ready to approve and
cheer on Il good cause. Many were unable to
cain admittancc, such was the crowded state OF
the Hall, and the ceremonies were all OF such
character that the Palmetto Division, and the
friend, of temperance generally, may look back
70 the dedication Of their ncw Hall with leas-
ant rccollcctions, aud regard it as an epoch in
,hn;r history. ChaS. Ere Ne'9s.

As tue ladies were in fair way of rlohopoE-
sing the whole debate, an over cold member Of
the male gender vcntured to offer a resolution
to the effect that the women con6ne their speech
cs within the limit Of fifteen minutes THIS pro-
position was of course received as a verf seriUits
attempt to ercroach uron one Of the most i'm
poltant of women's rights, and was Indignantly
voted down.
Mrs. Clark here cndcavored to sreak a word
in behalf Of naH, probably with the kind inter-
ton of soothing the feelings of the author Of tbe
Objectionable resolution, but she was Immediate.
Iy gagged for her temerity amid loud cries OF
':lurn her out." Abby Kelly made a speech, in
which she bitterly attacked churches and minis.

were made TO tut her down by those who @ery
