Five young ladies Of Galena, illinois,
were recently speaking in aattering terms
of their own physical endurance, and
were bantered by two gentlemen who
heard them to saw a cord Of wood, offer
ing a. a premium the sum of one hundred
dollars. They accepted the proposition,
had a cord of wood deposited two miles
from town, and their jeweled hands &C
complished the task in a few hours. On
paying the 500, one Of the young gen
rlemen offered $40 for a load Of sawed
wood, to be delivered in Galena. Next
morning the mischiryou8 virgins put Eve
sticks in a buggy, % load, Of course
and dumped tie same IN own as direct
ed. The challeDgers have nothing to
say on the saw buck question.

A GEAsrLY DIsoovERY.-A CHASTITY dis
coyery has just been made at Gull Island,
near Green Bay, Newfoundland. Some
sailors went in the boat of q passing
vessel to shoot birds 90 that island, and
there came upon thirteen dead bodies,
frozen stifly together under a piece OF
frozen canvass. They also found a sort
of journal, from which it appeared that
the brig Queen, with seventeen souls on
board. was wrecked on Gull Island on
The 18th December. Thirteen took re
Euge on shore, and four were carried off
in the drifting vessel and disappeared.
The captain and a Mr.. DowsIoy kept a
Journal to the date Of the Gath of thai
month, anticipating nothing but suffering
sud death. Where the Queen was lost
is only about three miles from the land,
and q man from the shore saw a light
several times on the island, and told diff
ferent persons Of it. but they would not
believe him. If there bad been any reas
son to suppose there were parties there,
there would have been 10 difficulty in
getting them Oh. The island is very sell
dom visited except in the summer season.

A REMARKABLE ANCIENT TEapLg.-A
correspondent Of a politico-religlous Jour
ual, published il New York, tells the
following somewhat astounding story =
q" am the ~discoverer of 80 immense
cavern 10 the Palisades OF the hudson.
fully one mile 10 length and at least halt
q mile wide. with a vaulted roof higher
than that of Trinity Church, supported
by innumerable pillars, which must have
been erected by the hand Of man many
centuries since, and furnished With innu
merable side receoses, sntechambers and
long winding passages OF the most Won
derful construction. Ruins of What nave
evidently been affairs, erected thousands
Of. years ago, are abundant, together with
,be m~ouldering bcnes Of beings Of enor
nous stature, as belonging to a race OF
giants that formerly inhabited the earth
The floors Of this remarkable cavern are
as smooth and hard as granite, though
covered deep with tue dust Of centuries.
Here and there q lower deep is dlsCernibie
through the all pervading gloom, with
spacious stone steps leading thereto
From these mysterious cavities the sound
Of rushing waters fall upon the ear, with
other reverberations Of q strange IN
earthly character. The cavern, it is man
fest, is not like the kentucky cave, a
freak of nature, but, as already c%onject'
ured, the work OF man in some early pc
Rod Of the worlds history. Cabalistic
signs cover the bases Of some Of the pill
lars, while figures bearing a close resem-
blsnce to sphinxes, deaths heads and
mummies, as if Of Egyptian design, adorn
various portions of the walls aud roof"
The correspondent goes 90 to tell the
manner in which be made the discovery
of this remarkable cavern. As. long ago
az last summer be was wandering one
in o contemplative mood along the Pail
sades, when he espied two rabbits. Re
signing contemplation for the pleasing
prospect of rabbit pie, he started in pur
suit. and the chase led to the mysterious
wonder which be SO glowingiy describes
SO above. Siuce that time be has made
frequent visits to the place, and still the
wonders grow. Why be has 50 long
kept this remarkable discovery a profound
secret, or what use he contemplates max
ing of the cavern, he does not inform us,
