A HORRIBLE DISCOVERY.

The following items were elected yesterday
during a conversation with James Liddle, of
the firm of Liddle Brothers, North. 1t is of
course one of the leading topics in that vicni-
ty: Some six weeks ago three gentlemen,
residents of North Star, Beaver county, U. T.
started out in company hunting stock. About
fifteen miles to the southeast they camped
near place called Rush Laker on the Santa
Fe road, about fifteen miles from Parowan.
They remained in the immediate vicinity sew
eral days, and while exploring discovered
several caves Of different dimensions. Upon
entering one of the caves they were surprised
at finding the atmosphere impregnated with a
stencil of such character, indeed, as to
make it almost insufferable. They deter
mined, however, to find out its cause, and
after some search discovered dead body par
TALLY buried in loose boulders. Further ex-
plorations led to the discovery Of other bodies
or rather skeletons, as the flesh had all de
cayed-in all FIVE, three male and two female.
That they are the remains of white people
there can be no doubt, as the long faxen hair
upon the dried scalp of one of the female
skeletons, plainly indicated. The dark hair
of the other skeleton still clung firmly to the
scalp, as in life. The skin seemed to be per-
fectly fast to the skulls of both these skele-
tons. The hair had mainly disappeared from
the heads OF the men, who were of about the
average size. A few remnants of cloth
ing were also found in the cave, every
thing going to prove that these were the
remains of three white men and two white
women, and not Indians, as might be imag-
ined. Upon all the bodies rock had been
thrown, almost entirely covering them. The
three explorers say that there may have been
other bodies in the cave, but they had no
means of prosecuting the search. If they had
been provided with tools of any description
they would have made thorough examina-
ton. 1t is, of course, very difficult to con-
lecture how long these bodies have lain in
the cave, who they were, or who put them
there; but there is certainly mystery enough
about it to warrant thorough exposition of
the affar.-Sah Lake Tribune, June 16.

A writer in the Augusta (Ga.) Constitu-
tionalist whose trustworthiness and in
formation that paper vouches tor, writes,
under date of June 10: "Old farmers
say, Give us dry weather in May and rain
enough in July, and we will have splen-
did crop year.. We have had the dry
May, and the indications are we shall
have rain enough, and possibly too much
in July. We never saw the cotton crop
in more favorable condition than the
present. The fields perfectly clean of
grass and weeds; the plants all thinned
out to stand, and growing an inch a day.
One planter, from South Carolina, said to
us the prospect was the finest he ever
saw. His cotton had grown five inches
taller in a week. Last year caterpillars
were reported in Southern Alabama and
South western Georgia, ten days earlier
than this date, and thus far we have moi
heard of one beng seen. We have heard
of few blooms, but they are not general
1t is likely the growing crop will be from
three and three. quarters to four millions
of bales.''
