Fire Children Underground for Fifteen
Hours without food or Water
In quarring in South Hannibal, Mo, a
cave was recently discovered by the
workmen An exploring expedition was
organized by five boys, whose ages rang
ed from nine to thirteen. Providing them
selves with pieces of candle an inch or
two in length, which were all lighted at
once, the little torchlight procession
marched into the cave Other boys at
the same time went in a short distance and
returned. The five were not missed by
their parents until late in the evening
when they were informed by the lads who
entered with them that they had gone in
to the cave at ten clock in the morning,
since which time they had not seen the IN.
The alarm that five boys were lost in
the cave drew a vast crowd around its
mouth, among whom were the fathers,
mothers, brothers, and sisters of the lost
ones. Several parties im,s ejiately en-
returned without trace of the lost chill =

of five was organized, Who entered the
cave with the determination to do or die.

Brownsville and Her Troubles.

speaking of Brownsville and her
troubles with the Memphis and Louisville
Railroad, the PlGindeaIer says:
The Brownsville people for a number
of years have been paying too much to
tie Memphis & Louisville railroad for
the transportation OF their cotton to Cln>
cinnst. So at least some Of the Browns
vile lawyers think, and ne are not dis
posed to question their judgement in the
matter. Under the workings Of that de-
lghtful system which regulates way
freights," our Brownsville neighbours have
been compelled TO pay three OF four
! hundred thousand dollars more on their
| cotton moving eastward, than would have
| been required of them if they had lived
at the Memphis end Of the road Hence
/ the big suit mentioned by Us lately
/ against the company We hoped our
| Haywood farmers would win in this COZ
test, but We understand that the author
| tiles of the l.. Il NJ road, are threatsning
| Brownsville with very serious cOBsrqer :
ces If she persists in her efforts 10 obtain
redress for the wrongs complained Of
/ That h0urishing town Is to be left out il
the cold, and the trains will not stop IL
six miles Of her rebellious borders, if thI
suit is not withdrawn. This is a hare
alternative, and We DO not know whn
will come % g.

Thompson, who lives on the William
Wood place, eight miles west Of Bolivar,
killed two mad dogs. Let this prompt

terrible thing, and now that the dogs

be watched with closest scrutiny. Kil

Of theatrical entertainments at the Opera House
next week, commencing Monday evening with
the beautiful play OF "Lorlie," in which Maggie
Mitchell won so many laures. The part on
Monday evening will be taken by Miss Louise
Sylvester, who Is pronounced by good judges
who have seen both quite the equal of Maggie
Mitchell in the part
Mr.. Whitley is the gentleman to whom Ottawa
Is indebted for bringing the Joe Murphy troupe
here, and the Maeder troupe, of which Miss Syl-
vcstcr vas the bright particular star. Besides
all the best members Of the former company in.
Guiding Miss Sylvester All. johnson, Frank Lord,
Miss Jordan, Ben Hodges, Eugene Taylor &c,
the company embraces some important and
valuable additions, such as Mrs. Harry and Miss
Lulu Jordan Mr.. Green and one or two Others.
The company will give four or five entertain

still retains very pleasant remembrance of Miss

has never given US any but first class entertain.

eral patronage.
