DURING the past three nights the en-
gineers and machinists at the round
house of the Virginia and Truckee Rail-
road Company, in this city, have been in
state OF lively excitement about some
strange disturbances which have oc-
Cured there regularly every night. The
company erected large smokestack,
which rises to o considerable hight above
the roof OF the round house. At the base
OF this smokestack is spread out in the
shape of funnel. Into the side of this
smokestack, three or four days ago, was
run stovepipe from a stove standing in
a room about forty feet distant. 1t is
about this stove that the electrical dis
turbances take place. The first that was
observed of these was about II o'clock,
four nights since, when p. kippingham,
a well-known machinist, approached the
stove for the purpose OF putting stick OF
wood into it. As the stick neared the
stove he received such q shock that it
fell from his hand and his arm was be-
numbed. He at first thought he had
taken a sudden cramp in his arm. In
trying again to put the wood into the
stove he received second shock. This
time he observed a fash and heard a
sharp snap which he at once recognized
as discharge of electricity. They tried
all manner Of experiments and found
that the stove was fully and heavily
charged with electricity. it giving out
sparks and flashes when piece OF steel,
iron, wood, or the naked hand APP
preached it. After an hour or two the
phenomenon ceased. The next day
nothing was seen Of it; but the next
night, about II o'clock. shortly after
locomotive came in and stopped under
the funnel of the smokestack, the stove
was again charged and began swapping
and cracking, sending out sparks and
flashes on all sides. So it has been every
night since. They now know that the
heated locomotive causes this electrical
display, but in just what way is that
which is still puzzling them.-[virg. En-
terprise, II.

some six weeks ago three gentlemen.
residents of North Star, Beaver county.
Utah, started out in company hunting
stock. About fifty miles to the south.
east they camped near q place called
husn Lake, on the Santa Fe road. about
hfteen miles from Parowan. They re-
NAMED in the immediate vicinity several
days, and while exploring discovered
several caves of different dimensions. /
believe these gentlemen had no idea of
the existence of the caves prior to this
time. Upon entering one of the caves,
they were surprised at finding the atmos.
phere impregnated with horrible stencil.
OF such character, indeed, as to make
it almost insufferable. They deter
mined, however, to find ont its cause,
and after some search, discovered a
dead body partially buried in loose
boulders. Further explorations led to
the discovery of other bodies, or
rather skeletons. as the flesh had all de.
cayed in all five, three male and two fe-
male. That they are the remains of
white people there can be no doubt, as
the long hsxen hair upon the dried scalp
OF one of the female skeletons plainly in
dictated. The dark hair of the other
skeleton still chung firmly to the scalp,
as in life. The skin seemed to be per-
fectly fast to the skulls of both these
skeletons. The hair had mainly dis
appeared from the heads of the men,
who were of about the average size. A
few remnants Of clothing were also found
in the cave, everything going to prove
that these were the remains of three
white men and two white women, and
not Indians. as might be imagined.
Upon the bodies stones had been thrown,
almost entirely covering them. The
names of the discoveries are David
Cameron, formerly of Ophir, James Van
Camp and Ed Kenny. They are we'll
known, and'regarded as strictly reliable
men, Salt Lake Tribune, 18th.

Right this way, Mr.. Bailey. Now tell

from trying to store yomr mind with i'm
pressions you fall to looking out for
your legs. You are up to your neck in
romance, over your head in history; and
your whole performance is a reckless
and aimless effort TO CLAW your way out.
The impressions which you receive are

Business in financial circles for the
past week has been exceedingly quiet
and opens out this week with little ami
nation in money circles. Business along
Madison street was confined to local
checking and depositing; aside from this
there was little doing. Currency is in
good supply, with the money market
working easy. The banks are granting
favors to oil regular customers and dis
count all gilt.edge paper at lO9l2 y
cent y annum; on the streets money is
active at 2@2l . cent. y month. Bro
kers are paying lOs9@l09 for gold and
selling at no. with light transactions.
Exchange continues easy and in fair
supply, and rules at par, while cotton
bills ON the East and New Orleans are
taken at 4c discount. Scrips, bonds and
securities OF every description continue
dull and nominal, with no transactions
worthy of note. Memphis and Charles
ton railroad stocks have dropped down
10 l0o. and no bidders at that price.

Legislature. Davis was the candidate
for Governor against Washburn in 70
and defea ted him. Senator Ramsey
favored Washburn for theGovernorship,
and we think if it comes to a special
contest between Davis and Washburn !,
Ramsey would throw his strength in
favor Of the latter, and vice verso
Washburn would prefer Ramsey to
Davis, Ramsey has been the Senator
for twelve years, and naturally he has
many friends. He has always secured
large appropriations from Congress to
Minnesota, and chat has rendered him
strong with the business interests of
the State.
