The FOUNTAIN CAyE.-This great natural Curl
osity is situated II miles 4: =. qfStaqlnton and
is easily REACHED over good roads from either this
place or Harrisonburg,
On Friday last, by previous arrangement, a
number of gentlemen from Stanton visited this
wonderful, though comparatively unknown work
of nature.
After pleasant mornings ride, heightened by
jovial companions, We reached the Hotel of Mr..
Pirkey, the Proprietor of the Fountain Cave, and,
after late breakfas, fit for king, the kind that
Mr.. Pirkey gets up, repaired to the Gage,
The mouth ofthe Cave is on the Hillside, and
is reached by zg-zag path. The entrance is
easy, being down ten twelve wooden steps,
when you reach the first 70 ON, which abounds in
beautiful stalacttic formations. Thence you 20
by easy flights Of steps, across chambers or
through passages, thfonghont the entire Cave,
without the necessity gilmore than inclining the
head.
1t abounds in the most magnificent stalactitic
and staiagmite formations which inspire with
awe, excite the wonder or please the fancy of the
beholder. 1t is impossible, in a local article to
wondrous works of nature therein contained,
none of which is damaged by breaking or other
wise, and it must suffice to say, that from the mo
ment ycH entef the Cave until you reach the
crystal fountains at tAe epd, each room in
creases in magnifecpce and greaqdeqr To bs
appreciated properly, it should be seen.
On this visit, the following perso ns eutared the
cave: E NJ Cushing, VIM German, DR. W
Young Jas A Wilson, Professors Joel Ettnger
and Richard, H P Cease, Bathis, NJ Lara, NJ
Kennedy, NJ Bickle, NJ. N. Bradley, John B

ton; N Lara, New Orleans; W Wisner, New
YORK; Burke, Ireland; Harnesberger and
NJ Strckler, augusta; D F Haynes, Mt Vernon
IRON Works, and others. and the unanimous yoice
of all was that it was the most perfect and beau=
tiful cave they had ever visited,
We take this occasion to suggest to all who de-
light in curiosities to visit the Fountain Gave.

How STRANGE THAT agents and friends Of
other Machines will say things about the Wheeler
& Wilson that are untrue. They say it will not
sew heavy work. There are four Tayloring Es-
Establishments in Stanton, and three of them use
the Wheeler Il Wilson with perfect satisfaction,
and none of them ever had lesson. The other
Establishment uses Singer Significant that!
furthermore not one Agent in Staunton can use
a Wheeler h Wilson. Hence, Judge that we may
be Judged-Oae of the Staunton Agents had his
Machine in a ladies house and SO was the Wheel
er & Wilson there. He saved through fifteen or
twenty thickness of cotton and left it and told
the lady If the Wheeler & Wilson would do it,
without breaking needle or thread, that he
would give her $40 The Wheeler b Wilson did
sew through it twice and made more perfect
stitch in every particular. How are You Mr.. $40?
Wonder if she ever got it. There is the rub, as
Shakespeare says.

The Programme very extensive one and
admirably selected. The various pieces were
rendered in superb manner, eliciting the wonder
of all present that the Blind should become so
proficient in Music and be able to render pieces
so perfectly which even very difficult for
those who have their sight. The Orchestral Mu-
sic was also very fine. A number of the vocal and
instrumental pieces were vociferously encored
and had to be repeated Taken whole the Con-
cert was very fine, and eyinced the fact that Prof
Turner, Mrs. Clifford and Mr.. T. NJ Turner are
most competent instructors and had labored well
and efficiently during the past session.
The large Chapel was densely crowed and every
