A CAVE IN CLARK Goa lady cor.
respondent of the Mobile Advertiser
gives an interesting account of a visit
which she with several other ladies and
g~entlemen) paid to a wonderful Cave
which lies in Clark county, in this State.
1t is so convient of access, We should
like 10 be one Of party to explore it.
The following is an extract {: NJ
The Cave is from ten to fifteen feet
wide, aud is between fifty and seventy
five feet high in some places, and so dark
you cant see a foot before you. On one
side it is rocky, muddy aud SO slippery
that you are obliged to hold on to the
rocks Oh the side to keep from falling.
On the other there is beautiful branch
running through it. One of the boys,
acting torch bearer, happened to get
al, Ut three feet before me. when | fell
into a hole. and bad it not been for ro5Ss
close by, the Lord only knows where l
would have gone to. At tbe top of the
Cave it is all hard rock; and little long
rocks, like fingers. hang down-through
these, water drops slowly and constantly.
AS the light is carried in, the rocks
sparkle like millions of diamondsN 1t is
intensely cold within the Cave; aud ii
the hand is placed on the rocks they
feel like ice to the touch. Ii any one
should happen to lose their light in there
they would never get oat. Some Of the
party went very far IN, and returning,
told US it was their opinion. there was a
human body in there, from the suffoca.
ting smell. They would have stopped
to lpok for it, but the torches were fast
wasting away.
This Cave is six miles long, extcn
ding from Eucetta creek, where We en-.
tered, TO Chickasaha river. At the riv
er there are air hoes. where the all
rushes in with a sound like thunder =
Mr.. D. took a rope with him, aud wen
to the distance Of a mile. he says Their,
are shelves formed in the rock thai Iool
Ike they we're made by hand. Their
is one rock in the Cave shaped like |
dog. As the light is held near il long
it see MS covered with diamonds. Their
are several snakes formed in the roc
that are enough TO scare any one. the.
look SO natural. ANNIE.

Republican Meeting at Hazleton.

ES- One Of the most satisfactory
meetings held by the Republicans, in the
County, was that at Hazleton on Wednes-
dav night last On the arrival of the
Wide Awakes, we found large con-
course of people assembled, and soon
discovered that we were to be treated to
one of the richest of the many excellent
suppers that have been prepared for the
Club by the Republican ladies of the
County. The profuseness, the excell-
ence, of the viands, were really beyond
praise. Nothing was wanting but the
mouths to dispose of it, for our large
hearted friends had prepared sufficient
for hundred Wide Awakes, hearty as
their appetites are, while there were but
forty to feed. Those present, however,
did full justice 10 the feast, for labor in a
good cause, with the certainty of sue.
cess, gives hearliness TO the appetite, and
liveliness TO digestion. After marching
for sometime, the Wide Awakes drew up
in close order, and with the large crowd
ofassembled spectators listened to speech
es from Judge TABOR and Mr. DoNNAN.
We have never heard these gentlemen
make better speeches, and we never saw
a feeling assemblage OF Republi.
cans. After the speeches there were
songs and marching by the Wide
Awakes and cheers upon cheers for the
Republicans of Superior. male and fe.
male, for the supper aud for the new
converts to Republicanism. Mr.. Hon
TON, in humorous little speech, called
for three cheers for the Wide Awakes,
which were given with will by the
crowd. Altogether it was one of the
most satisfactory occasions that we have
seen. The cordially Of the people Of
Superior, their liberaity, the good order
manifested throughout, the excellence Of
the speaking-all combined to make the
meeting an eminently pleasant one.
