AN INJURIOUS PRACTICE wish to
call the attention of families who use lamps
to the dangerous habit which almost all of
them are addicted to of turning the wick
down low, either to soften the light or save
the consumption Of oil. When this is done
the air Of the room soon becomes vitiated
by the unconsumed oil vapors, by the gas
produced by the combustion, and also by
the minute particles of smoke and SCOT
which are thrown off. Air thus poisoned
is deadly in its effects. In sick rooms the
practice is attended with the worst conse-
quences, and the wonder is that more heal
thy persons are not Immediately and even
fatally injured by breathing it. Among its
evil effects are irritation and Inflammation
of the throat and lungs, headache, dizziness
and sore eyes. We admonish all who use
lamps against the practice.

Greatest Discovery of the Age !
IncxhaustabIe Soap Minesi
HOLMES COUNTY AHEADi

An unexplorcd cavern has long been
known to lie under Hon d. =. LEADBErrEn'
farm, in Mechanic township The cavern
has for generations been known 10 be hid.
ing place for wild animals Upon one oc-
casion, some fifty years ago, white man
and an Indian entered it on an exploring
expedition, but they never returned. A few
days ago plan was adopted by which the
mysterious cavern might be safely examined.
Very long ropes were procured, one end at.
tached to the body Of each of the explorers
and the other end held by parties outside. 80
The explorers were in the cavern six hours
and twenty minutes. We have neither time
nor space to minutely describe the many
interesting discoveries. Many rooms were
found profusely decorated with the cunning
ly devised workmanship Of nature ; an i'm
mense number of animal bones and several
human skeletons were observed by the party;
but more wonderful than all, about six hun.
dred yards from the mouth of the cavern the
party came upon a remarkable Soap Mine,
the vein being feet 10 inches thick and
composed of the very best quality of hard
soap. In the immediate vicinity of the mine,
a well was discovered which will yield all the
soft soap that can be taken out of it,
There seems to be no doubt that this great
deposite of both soft and hard Soap will
prove abundantly sufficient to supply the
whole country for an unlimited period, and
it will produce great revolution in the
soap making business.
A Joint stock company has been formed
for the purpose of working the mines A
railroad will be built early in the spring
from the mines down Sand Run to its mouth.
and thence to Mllersburg, for the purpose
OF carrying the soap to market. The follow
ing are the officers of the company:

Directors GEORGE REED,
ERAsTus BEECHER,
NICHOLAS Il. Joss,
JOHN HlTcHcocK,
PETER LENIIART;
l.. Nj. EMRcK,
JAMES ALLISON,
Louis MAYERs.
One hundred mechanics are wanted to
make boxes for the hard soap. One hun
dred and fifty good coopers can have constant
employment making barrels to contain the
soft soap.
We have tried the soap, and have no
hostency in pronouncing it of the best quail
ity-for superior to the ordinary country
soap, and preferable to the popular rosin
soap.
The stock of the company is in shares of
500 each. The stock is all taxed. On
Saturday last So, 900 was offered far single
share. We think parties foolish for offering
such prices notwithstanding share will
yield a fortune in year or two. There are
other caves in the neighborhood and we
have no doubt other rich deposites of soap
will be discovered at an early day.
When the soap, coal and oil of Holmes
county become fully developed, it will be one
Of the richest counties in the United States
We shall give farther particulars of the
soap business in week or two. Those who
wish to, can see specimens Of the soap at
