member the circumstance, Mr.. Woods

South C street, Virginia. directly over
the Chollar mine- suddenly disappeared
from sight one n~ight-goods and all
having been swallowed up by a cave
In the mine. As IL the work of de-
struction was not complete, the en-
gulphsd building caught tire and every
thing inside Of it. Of a combustible
nature, was burned up. The ground
In that vicinity has been sinking from
time to time ever since. About three
weeks ago a cave occurred underneath
the south portion Of DR.. LIE Gusn's
house. The cavity thus made was
about fifteen feet In diameter. At three
o'clock yesterday afternoon another
large cave occurred directly In rear OF
Mrs. Proctor's house, which adjoins

The ground is cracked open in concen-
trio circles for q considerable distance

quarters.

Of their way OF arriving at the point
where his W progress was arrested
by his coming in contact with a wooden
cap overhead. In consequence Of the
accident he sustained a dislocation OF
