The Cave at Delaware Gap.

Two or three years ago a Mr. Frear
bought 100 acres of land on the Kittatinny
mountain, near Delaware Gap. One day last
summer Mr.. Frear, while cutting wood on
the mountain, discovered near the base a
wall ten or twelve feet high laid up against
perpendicular precipice of apparently
solid rock. He took down portion of the
wall, and came to an opening in the rock
large enough to permit the passage of his
body. The instant the opening was un-
covered a strong current of air escaped.
1t was so cold that Mr.. Frear was in a
very short time chilled through and
through.
Determined to explore this singular
cavern, Mr., Frear entered the opening
He found himself in large chamber, the
walls being of rough and jagged rocks.
The cold was so intense that he could not
explore the cave further than fifty feet
Since then no person has penetrated furth-
er than sixty feet under the mountain. The
draft of air is so strong at the mouth that
trees thirty yards distant are kept in con-
slant motion. One can stand but few
minutes in the mouth. A thermometer
standing at ninety degrees above zero, will,
in short time, fall to thirty in the current.
A piece of pure lead, gun barrel, and
a collection of bones were found by Mr..
Frear in the cavern. He threw the bones
in the river before ascertaining whether
they were human remains or not.
A dog accompanied him on his first ex-
ploring tour. The dog logged on into the
cave. Since then it has never been seen.
Hundreds of people have visited this re-
markable cavern, and witnessed the mys-
terious phenomenon of the cold current of
air. No satisfactory explanation has as
yet been given as to its cause. There are
number of crevices in the rocks near the
opening from which the cold air also issues.
Mr. Frear erected a temporary platform
in front of the cave. A person standing
on this five minutes would experience a
sensation of almost complete numbness.
1t was the owners intention to excavate
passage way and erect building over it
for the accommodation of inquiring visi-
tors. He was killed on the railroad, how
ever, before his project was carried out.
The cave is considered one of the greatest
curiosities of the world.

A story of Retributiye Justice.

On Tuesday night last the coroner's jury
in the case of Dr. Baker, who was murder
ed at Warren on the 10th inst, adjourned
to Friday, for the purpose, 1T was supposed
of finding brother of Miss Mink, who
owned the house where the crime was COM
mitted, but on Thursday last he came
home, and the officers were informed that
he was in his house. Sheriff Hobbs sum.
moned him on Friday to appear before the
jury, and also another brother of Miss
Mink has been kept in the lookup in this
city since Sunday last until yesterday,
when he was taken to Warren. Public
feeling in that city is now in favor of Miss
Mink, the general opinion being that DIR.
Baker brought his death upon himself,
having, it is said, not only ruined the girl,
but has followed her for years. He installed
another woman as his housekeeper, but
continusd to visit the one he had wronged
for life, being wild and reckless, and now,
after repeated warnings from her friends,
he has been found dead in the bed chamber
of his victim. The jury did not conclude
their investigations, and Miss Mink has
been brought back to the lookup in Rock
land.

word. He did veto the bill, and returned
it to the Legislature.

A Private Hospital for Females.

Medical Inspector Steward, of Washing
ton, reported to the President of the Board
of Health the discovery of private lying
in hospital in central and prominent part
of Washington, to which children have
been farmed out, to be cared for as long as
they live, by persons in the employ of the
hospital. Inspector Steward was led to
the discovery while making sanitary in
spection in the locality known as Hog alley,
in low hovel, he found negro woman
nursing from bottle white infant, about
three or four weeks DID,
An inquiry led to the fact that person
calling herself Miss Doctor Wilson kept
the establishment, where women were
nursed during confinement, attended only
by the female doctor, who, it is stated,
had been doing good business 1t is the
intention of the Board of Health to take
such action as the law will admit in the
premises in relation to this case, and at the
same time place the matter before the legis-
lative assembly for such action as in the
Judgment of that body the preservation of
life and public morals require.

Affairs in France.

Another change has been made in the
Government of France. President Theirs
not being able to get along pleasantly with
the Assembly, offered his resignation,
which was at once accepted, and that body
promptly elected Marshall Mcmahon, as his
successor. The Marshall accepted the po-
sition, and in doing so, gave the world to
understand that he should rely upon the
army for supporting his authority. SO far
the change in government has had no effect
upon the finances of France, or upon the
money market throughout Europe. Mar
shall Mcmahon, was a strong supporter of
Louis Napoleon, and the selection of him
as the President, is looked upon as a victo-
ry for the Imperialists particularly the
Bonaparte faction. All the antecedents
and sympathies of the new President are
monarchial, and the chances are that it
will not be very long before the mask Of
Republieanism will be cast aside.

ShootInr Her ITncle.

Baltimore, May 26,--Mrs. Emma M Kee,
who made an unsuccessful attempt to shoot
her uncle Oswald Noack, ON the 14th of
May, was more successful to-day. Having
this morning obtained warrant for the
arrest of her uncle, charging him with
abusive conduct, she proceeded with an Of
flcer to his place of business, 145 West Bal
timore street, to identify him. The officer
made the arrest, and while coming down
stairs with the prisoner, in company with
Mrs. M'Kee, she suddenly drew double
barreled pistol from under her shawl, and
fired two shots, one ball taking effect in his
back, and the other in the calf of his right
leg. His wounds are not necessarily fatal.
Mrs. NJ 'Kee has been arrested.

THOMAS SHUMAN of Catawissa, was
indicted for selling liquor without license.
After his indictment he succeeded in COM
promising with the prosecutrix. The
case to proceed to trial, setting forth that
it was crime against society, and no in
dividual had a right to compromise the
interest of the community. He was ac-
cordingly brought to trial, found guilty
and sentenced to pay fine of sixty dollars
and cost, and TO be imprisoned in the
county Jail for ten days. We understand
it will cost him about two hundred dollars.

Treating them Better.

Convicts in the Michigan State Prison
are hereafter to be treated with distinguish
ed COL sideration. The Legislature has
voted to free them from the the humiliation
of wearing striped garments, and also
given them permission to correspond with
their relatives and intimate friends. The
State also devotes funds toward their ed
ucation, and gives each one, when dischar-
ged, $40 worth of clothing and $40 in cash,
with such other money as he may have
earned by overwork.

THE Providence Herald, the only Demo
cratic paper in Rhode Island, after an ex-
istence of twenty three years as daily, has
been discontinued, the publisher closing its
career with some caustic illusions to the
party that failed to accord to it the needful
support. Whereupon the Hartford Times
pertinently remarks that this may be natu-
raj and just on the part of the losing pub
Usher, but until he has learned one funda-
mental, vital fact in newspaper publishing
he need never expect success in that direc-
ton. That fact is the simple necessity on
the part of every real "live" newspaper of
making itself independent Of and superior
to, all cliques and all parties in its reliance
for support. The journal that is mere
pensioner upon a political party must nee
essarily be poor concern, and in general
may count on speedy end. It's days are

A Man TrampIed to Death by a Mule,

In the stable of the Georgetown Aims
house is savage mule, which Alexander
Grumble, an idiot pauper, was in the habit
of tending. The mule was so vicious that
it would not allow any one else to approach
it. Hitherto the animal and its attendant
had eyinced strange affection for each
other, but on Saturday morning an es-
arrangement sprang up between them, and
the beast taking offence at something while
his keeper was attending to him, caught
Grumble by the shoulder with his teeth,
threw him violently to the ground, and be-
fore he could recover himself began stamp
ing upon his PROSTATE body. Then, not
satisfied with its vengeance, the beast began
biting and chewing its dying victim until
its anger had been appeased.

Constltutionality Of the Local Option Law

Immediately after the election on the
subject of license, the liquor men of Frank
lin county, organized to sustain test case
on the issue of the unconsttutionality OF
the law. A certain tavern keeper in Cham.
bersburg openly sold liquor, after "no
license" as decided by the people, had
gone into effect, and this case was at once
taken before Judge Hall, who at the time
was holding court in that borough. After
the most able argument on both sides, the
court held that the law was constitutional,
in an opinion brief and pointed, and which
was extensively copied by the newspapers
Of the State. The case was Immediately
carried to the Supreme court, which, al
its session in Harrisburg, fully affirmed the
decision of Judge Hall, and thus sustain
ing the constitutionality of the Local
Option law.
