The papers in this city announced day

that the deceased was 4 native Of Ireland,
aged 3S years, had been incorporate for
some time past, and finally died from the
effects of intemperance, exposure, and
want Of food. The verdict Of the jury
was in accordance with the facts above

YoUNe MRN.-The idea Is prevalent In
some communities that the young men are
unfit for Generals or statesmen, and that
they must be kept in the background un.
til their physical strength is impaired by
age, and their intellectual faculties blunt
ed by years. Let us look at the history Of
the past, and from the long list of heroes
and statesmen who have nobly distinguish
ed themselves. we win find that they
were young men who performed these
acts, which have won for them an impe.
rishable need of fame, and which placed
their names on the page Of history. Al

The MAMMOTH CAvE-ITs Cosr, &os--
In one of Mr.. Willis recent letters to the
Home Journal. is the following paragraph
relating 10 the original purchase of, and
the amount paid for the Mammoth Cave
in Kentucky: 5f ,s
Colonel Croghan, to whose family il
belongs, was resident of Louisville
he went TO Europe some twenty; years
ago, and as an American. found himself
frequently questioned OF the wonders of
the Mammoth Caye-a place no had ne
yer visited. and of which, at home, though
living within ninety miles Of it, he had
heard very little. He went there imme-
diately on his return, and the idea struck
him to purchase and make it family in
heritance. In fifteen minutes bargaining
he bought il for SIC, 900, though shortly
after he was offered Sioo. 900 for his pur-
chase. In his viii he tied itup in such a
way that il must remain in his family for
two generations, thus appending its ce-
lebrity to his name. There are 1900
acres in the estate-three square miles
above ground-though the cave probably
runs under the property Of n great NUM-
Der of other land owners. For fear of
those who might dig down and establish
an entrance to the cave on their own pro-
perty, "a mans farm extending up TO the
zenith and down TO the nadir, great vi.
GLANCE is excoreised to prevent such sub
terranean surveys and measurements as
would enable them to sink shaft with
any certainty. The cave extends ten or
twelve miles in several directions, and
there is probably many a backwoodsman
sitting in his log hut within ten miles Of
the cave, quite unconscious that the most
fashionable ladies and gentlemen of Eur
rope and America are walking without
leave, under his corn and potatoes.

speaks of the bridal chamber:''
