NATURAL Ice CAVE AT DEBORAH, Iowa
The mouth of the cave is at the foot of a high
ledge of limestone rock set in high bluff or
bank of the Upper Iowa river, north of the
town. The entrance to the cave is from the
side of the hill, about forty feet above the
level of the river.
An opening of about ten feet high and some
six or eight feet wide, forms the entrance,
which descends into the rock at an angle cf
about forty Eve degrees.
The extreme length of this cave has never
yet been explored but it has been penetrated
to distance of three hundred feet in various
directions In the wiuter season this cave is
warm aud dry, but in the summer, fall and
spring. it is bitterly cold, and the tempera-
turc of cold increases to an almost insupport-
able extent as it is penetrated to longer dis
tance. In the warm season, vast iccles are
formed in this cave, by the continual drip
| pings from the top and sides, and in sufficient
quantities to supply large city. At any
time in the spring summer or fall, any one
! with little labor could cut down several tons
of the purest crystal ice in day, and just as
soon almost as it is taken out, it is replaced
by fresh ice. At party held on the side Of
the bill by the Decorah people on the fourth
of July last, over eighty barrels of the solid
! ice were taken out, and scarcely any impress
sion was made on the quantity in the cave.
The most singular feature of the cave is,
that the hotter the weather becomes outside
the more intensely cold the atmosphere be
comes in the cave. Persons going into ths
cave in the warm season are obliged to put OIL
the heaviest clothing. and even then become
badly chilled.
Can any philosopher of Dubuque or Other
cities explain this great phenomenon of ma
ture? If SO, let US hear their explanations
Decorah at least will always have the lux
ury of plenty of fine ice, without any trou5l'
laying it in.-Dubuque Erpress d Herald.

Recapture of Children Stolen by the Nor
mons and Arrest Of Elder Pratt

from TIE 81. Louis Le0der, Hdy Il.
About two months ago we published an ac-
count of the kidnapping of several children by
the Mormons at New Orleans: The father,
Fl. Ii. Mclean, was absent at the time in
California, and the mother, who had been de-
luded by the Saints, lent herself to the nfa-
famous scheme by which her own children
were to be ruined. The kidnappers started
with the children from New Orleans to go
through Texas. Arkan sas and the Indian Ma
ton to the Salt Lake trail; but were fortu-
nately intercepted by the father, who having
heard of the affair, had returned and started
in pursuit of them. The following is an ex-
tract from him to his friends in this city, and
gives some Of the particulars of arrest

MONDAY, March % A few days ago we
received the news Of the robbery of a man
named Parrish, Ga dissenting Mormon. who
was intending to leave the Territory in
Springville. town about sixty miles south
of here. Some men came to his premises In
the night and took two span of horses and
wagon, with which he contemplated to leave
the Territory this Spring Hearing them mo-
wing his property, he went to the door, where
he was met by man who presented pistol
to his head, threatening to blow his brains
out if he made any noise or offered any resis-
tance. The next day he found one span of
his horses in the stable of one Bullock. the
Mayor of Provo He claimed the horses, but
Bullock refused to let him have them. He
then applied to the Judge of the Probate
Court, "a Mormon Tribunal but the only Court
left us since the forcible disso LUTON of the U
nited States Court } for writ OF replevin.
which the Judge refused to issue, and he cod
get no redress.
We have now received the report and par
ticulars of the murder of Parrish and two 9TH
men. A party of five ''apnstate' Mormons
Parrish, his two sons, Potter and Darger,
having been stripped Of all they possessed by
Mormon process and open robbery, determi-
ned to leave the Territory at all haz ards.
Being unable to procure teams, they star
ted OH foot and passed out of Springville in
the afternoon They had been watched. and
as soon as they had started. several men were
called out TO assist in the affair. The party
had hardly proceeded hundred yards from
the gate of the town before they were fred
upon by band of disguised Danites. Potter
was killed outright, having been pierced by
! five balls The murdcrers then rushed upon
them, and cut Parrishs throat from ear to
ear and ripped open has borels. Other wounds
upon his person showed that he struggled
! hard His son, though severely wounded,
ran about so yards, when he was overtaken,
and his hroIt aeos cm and has bO,cels 'oere rip
! ped open. The other two men being little
in the rear escaped.
We have reports of others being killed, but
have positive knowledge, as the Mornons
take care to hide from US every dark deed
when they can help it. One of the Bishops
the other day, in preaching to his congrega-
| ton, said that he would cut the throats OF
the apostates with as lite compunction he
wo'd go into pen of hogs and butcher them. "
Que Of the - Seventies" said that at first he
shuddered at the idea of killing all the apos-
tates-men women and chlldren-but had
become reconciled to it; ii at he was satisfied
he would be saving them aud assisting IL
building up the kingdom.

No USE For TRowsERs Rs.-On the morning

amazement the sky lighted up with the falling

He stood for moment gazing in speechless
terror at the scene, and then with a yell of
horror sprang out of the door into the yard,

Repeal is the Word.

Should the Main Line be sold ucder the
Infamous bill recently passed into law by the
Legislature and sanctioned by the Governor,
the question very naturally arises in the mind
is there no remedy for the people who have
thus been so foully and iufanously wrouged
We think there is. The act is not one like
unto the laws Of the Medes and Persians, un-
alterable. We are of the opinion that the
next Legislature can repeal the law and re-
sume the control of the Main Line The Con-
stitution. We are aware, inculcates the doctrine
of the inviolability of contracts, and frowns
upon any attempt to impair their binding eff
feet. But the Constitution is opposed to all
wrongs committed upon the rights of the peo-
pie, and all fraud and dishonesty on the part
of public servants. Laws which are mani
festly enacted through the appliance of fraud
and villainy, and in contravention of the pop
ular will can have no coUnteDance IN the Or
ganic law of the Commonwealth Fraud vi
tiates any contract. and we apprehend the
fraud attempted on the tax payers of the Com
monwealth, by the passage of the bill, will
vitiate the sale Of the public works.
We shall have more to say on this subject
| hereafter. In the meantime let the Demo.
cratic press of the State speak out on thi:
subject and make the repeal of the law an is
