A LoRETTE in Havana. a Kentucky girl,
went with her gay friends to dine at a res.
taurant: VI sudden she grew pensive. her
companions rallylng her about her silence
when click was heard as of the cooking of
pistol. but as nothing seemed to be WRONG.
nobody paid any attention to it. Of sudden
she took up glass and shouting to the
others, " Here's to our loves" placed a re.
volver under the right side of her chin, and
before anybody could interfere, she pulled
the trigger, and the bullet crashing through
her brain, produced instant death.

ANOTHER BIG CAvE.-The Virginia Tres

ANOTHER BIG CAvE.-The Virginia Tres
pass of October 2jth, says:
Yesterday afternoon large cave occurred
ia the Cholar Potosi mine, which extended
to the surface and left great chasm extend
ing the whole width of street. The cave
is a short distance south of the one which
last spring swallowed up the large stone
store of Wood & Goe, and approaches quite
near the southwest corner of the well known
barley mill on c street. At the time we
visited the cave-about half past four o'clock
last evening-the chasm or pit was forty or
fifty feet in diameter and about forty feet
deep in the deepest part. The earth in and
about the place was still settling and falling
in, sometimes several tons at a time The
ground was much cracked all about the pit
and appeared to be gradually settling, and
should it continue to give way below the
chances are that the pit on the surface will
be so much enlarged as to take in several
buildings in the vicinity. On the west side
the wall of the pit shelves under till it is
already underneath small frame dwelling
that stands on that side of the street. While
we were present we witnessed grand STAN
pede of party of men who were standing
upon the porch of the dwelling, occasioned
by the noise of falling earth and rock under
their " situation though in fact there were
occasionally stampedes in all directions
among the groups whose curiosity led them
too near the edge of the crater, for every
few minutes tons of earth were falling in
on one side or another with dull booming
sound. The cave occurred Immediately over
the spot where Patrick Price Whose unre-
covered body still lies far down in the mine)
lost his life. When it was first discovered
yesterday. the hole-which was near the
center OF the street-was only about three
feet in diameter and teamster narrowly
escaped driving into it. At the latest ac
counts last night the earth was still settling
and the pit gradually growing larger The
cave attracted a great many visitors during
the afternoon, and as a general thing they
were about as respectful crowd of sight.
seekers as we ever saw-they didn't crowd
the eleT hant. Although you couldn't see
the bottom so well, the hole looked much
better when viewed from behind the outer
most cracks surrounding it. We believe no
damage of any kind was done to the mine.

As genuine Tonic, H0STETTER'S BITTERS
produce effects which must be experienced or wit
messed before they can be fully appreciated.
Persons of feeble habits, liable to Nervous At
tacks, Lowness ofSpirts, and Fits of Languor, find
prompt and permanent relief from the Bitters The
testimony on this point is most conclusive, and
from both sexes.
In districts infested with Fever and Ague, ithas
been found infallible preventative and irresis-
ible as a remedy. Thousands who resort to it if
under apprehension of an attack, escape the
scourge; and thousands who neglect to avail
themselves of its protective qualities in advance,
are cured by very brief course of this marvellous
medicine.

As a tonic it will be found invaluable 10 all per-

TEN all the glow and vigor that can be produced BY
