STARTLING DISCOVERIES AT NASH
v1LlE.-A special despatch to the Now
York 9orld, dated Nashville, October 20
says:
A startling discovery has been made in
this. city within the last few days. A
large number of thieves have been depre>
dating around the city for some time past.
All efforts to catch them have been, una
7ailing until lately. 1t has been ssccr~
tanned that there are five different caves
nnder the city, which are occupied by
thieves, burglars and countcrfeiters. The
McNary vault in the graveyard has been
pnt under guard, and men set to work to
effect an entrance into the cave. AS fast
rs the earth is removed, fresh earth is
thrown up from the inside Of the cave.
This is the same cave that Murrell and
his gang occupied when engaged in run
ming off negroes and horses. The affair
has been kept secret, but leaked ont in
spite Of the military. A year ago it was
reported that the McNary tomb was used
as a place to store pluudcr, and it is COM
monty reported that lake, covering five
acres and very deep, is directly under the
city. One man swcsrs to having through
ly explored the entire cavern, from one end
TO the other. A guard has been stationed
over the Acklen and Hardon tombs. The
locksmith gives his opinion that the lock
IN the McNary tomb has been used re-
Gently. The entrance to the cavern is
st the foot of Summer street. The mill
itary are determine to find out the outlet
Of the cave. The entrance looks like a
6ssure in the rock. The discovery orig
mated from the fact that quite number
of murders have been committed in the
immediate vicinity, Which LED to an in
vestigation, disclosing the above facts.

SUICIDE IN CANDoR.-On Sunday last, in
Candor Village, Miss Hannah Lewis, girl % or
24 years of age, daughter of Lucas Lewis, commit
ted suicide by shooting herself through the heart
with musket-her folks being absent at Church
with the exception OF brother who was asleep in
bedroom in the chamber. When her folks came
home she was lying dead upon the floor, with the
gun by her side, the muzzle of which she had evi-
IDENTIFY held against her breast while she had
sprung the lock with her foot. Alteration ofmind
growing out of religious excitement is supposed to
have been the cause of the rash act The family
are highly respectable, and the girl herself bore an
excellent character.-Otoego Gazette.

Mr. ED1roR--DEAR SIR The readers of
the REPoRTER I am sure are always glad to find
good news in the column local. | have a little to
communicate in a short narrative concerning ''Un-
Gle Miners Sunday School" in Orwell township
Other cases like character might be mentioned
'Uncle Miner" is one of our model Sunday
School Superintendents Seven years ago he be-
gan the good work i'll what will be hereafter known
as ATnerville. He is great favorite among the
children. Even the parents look up to him as
their teacher a man mighty in the Scriptures"
His scholars come by families. The houses are
closed when the hour for Sunday School arrives,
while children and parents, babes, gandmothers
and all go to Sunday School Having no other
place they have been accustomed to meet in a
schoolhouse. This summer it was not sufficiently
large to accommodate all who wished to attend.
They were compelled to remove to a little island
grove near by which is literally covered with
seats and all the seats are occupied every pleasant
sabbath. Last Sabbath | had the pleasure of Wis
iting this school. My missionary pony, ''Promp'
brought me promptly to the place a half hour be-
fore the time of meeting. l found g Uncle Miner
in the school-hOuse which filed with children
asking and answering questions from the Bible.
They at once proceeded to the grove where the
first half hour was occupied in asking not less than
one hundred questions on the Old Testament, all
of which We're answered by the scholars in concert.
No books We're used in this examination. Uncle
Miner stated that his scholars could go through
the whole Bible in the same way Next followed
the Missionary's address in which he showed them
first how it was that their Sunday School had pro-
cured for them a church invisible, and secondly
what they shonld now do to procure also church
visible. After the address, 'Uncle Miner" ap-
pointed a meeting for the purpose of taking meas
ures to exchange the grove for house of worship.
Before leaving the next morning, 1 was told that
seven hundred dollars had been subscribed and a
fine lot given for the new church visible which is
gracefully forming from materials in :" Uncle Mi
ners Sunday School" Very truly yours,
r. CRITTENDEN
