OF BLOOD IN A CAV
ERN.

j.. @. Squier's notes on Central Ameri-
ca describe wonderful efuson of fluid
resembling blood near the town of Vitud
IN the State of Honduras. 1t appears that
there is continually oozing and dropping
from the roof of cavern there a red Ii
quld, which upon falling coagulaes so as
to precisely resemble blood Like blood,
it corrupts, insects deposit their larvae in it,
and dogs and buzzards resort TO the cavern
to eat it. Attempts have several times
been made to obtain some of this liquid for
analysis, but in all cases without success,
in consequence of its rapid decomposition,
whereby the bottles containing it were
broken.
The small cavern or grotto during the
day is visited by buzzards and hawks,
and at night by a multitude Of vampire
bats, for the purpose of feeding on the
unnatural blood. 1t is situated oil the
border OF rivulet, which keeps Redeemed
with small flow of the liquid, which has
the color, taste, and smell of blood. In
approaching the grotIo, a disagreeable odor
is observed, and when it is reached there
may be some pools Of the apparent blood
in a state of coagulation.
The peculiarities of this liquid are con-
sidered due TO the rapid generation in this
grotto of some very prolific species of in
fusoria. The California State Journal,
remarking on the above, observes that the
eStero of the town Of Monterey contains a
species of blood red inlusora, (lhe larvae
of water insects which at certain seasons
of the year, smell precisely like fresh fish
or on exposure in vessel, like pulrid fish
In some seasons it has been found dried
in flakes, and of the intense color of ver-

MORE FACTS FOR LOVERS OF
THE ARDENT.

DR.. Hiram Cox, Chemical Inspector Of
liquors for Hamilton county, Chic, il seems
is still prosecuting interesting investigations,
and recently wrote letter to one of the
Cincinnati papers, the contemplation of
which must be pleasant business to those
fond of induIging occasionally in little
.'pure liquor" He says that he was not
long since invited to take drink in one
of the most fashionable and popular drink
ing places in that city, and happening to
have some test paper in his pocket, before
tasting he concluded to test its purity, and,
in presence of his friends, dipped it in a
small quantity which he had poured out
in glass, and it had no sooner touched
the liquor than it turned from a beautiful
blue 10 a scarlet red. This scarlet red, he
says, he has generally found, when he had
an opportunity for investigation, to be SuI-
phuric field or oil Of VifriOi. Such, he
declares, is the character of great deal OF
the liquor now on sale. He says, also,
that he recently inspected samples of the
entire distilled or light liquors of a consd-
cradle store in that city, and of ten differ
ent articles of liquors, he found but two
TO be what their names purported. In
some, he found, by applying the various
chemical tests, PruSsic field, SulphaIric
field, Nitric .E'ther, .Acetic Either, &C.,
while in others he found Chlorofor,n, Pep

EXTRAORDINARY SUPERSTI-
TION.

A Corpse Erhun1ed.-A case of super
stition in this county has come to our
knowledge, which for ignorance and moral
turpitude exceeds the darkest pages of the
history of Robackism or even Salem
WitchcrafI, and is disgrace to the boast
ed intelligence of the Garden Of the Key
stone State" with her college, academies,
seminaries, common schools and churches.
On Sunday last, the good people OF
Ephrata and vicinity were startled and
shocked by the intelligence that the re-
mains of a certain Miss Sophia Bauman,
who died about nine years ago, had been
exhumed on that day by two men hired
for the purpose by the friends Of the de-
ceased. Curiosity was naturally excited
and speculations started as TO the cause of
such an open desecration of the ashes of
the dead on the quiet of the Sabbath; and
upon inquiry of some of the relatives, our
correspondent learned that the young lady
alluded TO had died Of consumption, and
that since her death. two of her sisters,
her mother and two brothers had died also
of the same disease.
In all these cases hereditary taint was
strongly marked, and no doubt was left
upon the minds of physicians and all sem
sible persons as to the cause OF their death,
but the opinions of physicians were set
aside by the incursions of ignorance and
superstition, under which the belief was
seriously entertained and acted upon, that
by some hocus pocus the winding sheet
of the corpse had got into her mouth, and
that by continual suction (the modHS OPP
era,edi of which was only known TO the
spiritsl she had actually drawn the other
five members of the family after her; and
unless this winding sheet was speedily re-
moved from the mouth of the corpse she
would in like manner cause the premature
death of the whole connection!
Incredible as a belief in such a mon
strous superstition in this enlightened age
may appear, it is nevertheless true; for ac-
cording TO previous arrangements, the res
urrectionists commenced operations on
Sunday morning. heearth was removed
the coffin brought to the surface, and the
lid removed under the direction OF COM
mittee of inspections; but to their astonish-
ment no winding sheet was found there

ANOTHER BOXER AND DEAN
AFFAIR.

Augusta, Me-, was recently the theatre
of a second edition of the Boxer and Dean
matrimonial farce-in New York. The
history begins thus:
"The daughter of Mr.. Doran-a
Calholic-was engaged in marriage TO a
Mr.. Mccormick, Protestant. The young
lady's parents were opposed TO the match,
because the bridegroom was not Catho-
lie, and the Priest was notified and forbid
den TO unite the parties. Not to be folled
in this way, Mr.. Mccormick and Miss
Doran repaired to Ex-Mayor Patterson,
with the certificate of their intentions, and
were legally joined by him in marriage on
Saturday last, The fact coming to the
ears of the offended parents, before night
the bride was seized, carried violently tc
her former home, and imprisoned in {
I chamber, so her husband could have nc
intercourse with her. Not to be defeated
in this way, the husband on Wednesday
last, sued out writ of replevin, which
was served by Sheriff Gilbreth in due
form, who entered the prison room of the
affrighted wife and gave her to her lawful
though Protestant husband
