for sending his lettor to Hayes.
These ovcr-clrCtnl and over critical

more good sonsc by awaiting full
recital of the facts Of tho matter,
before they mount their high horse.
In their dcnunciation Of Hampton
they ovince neither good taste nor a

Already has there been a response
to Governor Hampton's call for don.
tributions to sustain the Constitll-

thousand dollars have been received,
and the Governor informed tho su-

of the lunatic asylum that ho was
prepared to provide for the relief
of those institutions, and directed
the superintendent to draw on him
for the sums needed. Both institu-
tions sadly needed assistance.
The man who pays taxes to the

the foolish thing of voluntarily

Monday, and entertained them with
somo Of his experiences in the Lone

him is as follows:
You'd hardly believe, now, what L
am going to tell. In Texas wo uso
raw>hide straps, or thongs, for traces,
and in wet weather they do stretch
amazingly. Why, often in damp
weather at home I've hitchcd up two
horses and drove down the hill from
my house into tie creek bottom for
Il sled load of wood. / have loaded
the wood and many times driven
back home and unlntchcd the horses
and the sled would not be in sight. ;"
"How did you get the wood homo
thcn?" asked al inquisitiyeby bystanacr.
"Oh, L just tied the end of the
traces togcthcraud threw them over
Il post, went knocking about my
work and waited Till the sun shono
oTt. Sometimes it would be more
than two hours before that sled load
OF wood would get home, but you'd
see her crawling up the hill ut last,
gradually approaching as the raw
hide traces shrunk up into their pro-
per lengths. Yes, Texas is Il great
country, you hct." t."--Grecncostic

Poisoned by Liver Puddings.

On Thursday week farmer, named
Fairchild, residing in the borough of
Whitehaven, Luzerne county, slaughtered
his hogs, and as usual, manufactured
quantity of liver puddings, some of which
he sent to relatives and neighbors. Soon
after five members of Mr.. Fairchild's
family were taken suddenly i'll, and
physician who was summoned pronounced
the patients suffering from poison, and the
puddings were finally traced as the cause.
Word was Immediately sent to others who
had received the puddings, but the warn
ing came too late, twenty-three persons
being already sick from parta1ing of the
poisoned meat. 1t is thought that several
of the sufferers will die. The poison is
supposed to have been communicated to
the puddings from copper kettle used in
preparing them.

In the Philadelphia Court James Frank

death of Mrs. Sarah Dotts. The parties
were near neighbors on Lawrence street,
and their houses being similar, the defend
ant one morning at 2 O'Clock entered his
neighbours domicile, thinking that it was
his own. AS he had to break open the
door to get in, he thought things looked
suspicious, and he straightway made for
what he supposed to be his wife's bedroom.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dotts, who occupied the
room, took him for burglar, and Mr..
Dotts tussled with him while his wife called
for assistance. When the officers put in an
appearance the men were clutching each
other, and it was not ght was thrown
on the scene that the mistake was discov-

suffering from consumption at the time, and
that the shock that was given her nervous
system was so great that she died shortly
afterward.

A Centre County Cave.


Mr. j. S. Arnold, of Snyder county,
having visited Animus Cave sends the
following description to the Mddleburg
Post
This cave is located at the head of Penn's
Greek in the western end of Bush noun
tain, which is at the junction of Bush and
Penn's Valley, in Miles township, Centre
county. Wedescendod an almost perpen-
dicular declvity from the top of the noun
tain into a rectangular pit, said to be near
ly 100 feet deep, and 80 feet long and is
feet wide at the bottom. At the eastern
end of the pit is the opening of the cave,
about 10 feet wide. The cavern is divided
into three apartments, the bottom of two
Of which is water, and Of the other lime
stone rock. We were provided with Ian
terms, which we lit when preparing to
enter. We entered the first apartment
with boat, being one with water
bottom. This first apartment is about 30
feet wide at the beginning, and widens to
the middle, where it is about 100 feet wide,
then narrows again to so feet, at the eastern
end. 1t is about one-eighth of mile long.
On the northern side of this apartment is
the entrance into the second room. There
we left our boat and entered it afoot, being
the room with the rock bottom. We made
an ascent then again descent, then came
into the room. The dimensions of this
second room are unknown, not having been
explored to its limits. In this apartment
are stalagmites in the form of almost every
thing in art and nature, caused by the
droppings of calcareous water from the
top. We were about an hour in this part,
examining the beautiful models, and max
ing circuitous route of about one-fourth
Of mile in length, and then came to the
opening again. After coming out of this
we took our boats again and went to the
eastern end of the first room, and entered
the third room on the boat, the opening
being about 6 feet. The dimensions of
this are about one-eighth of mile long,
and averages about 80 feet in width. The
height of all the rooms is about 80 feet.
The sides of this third room are formed
as it were, in shelves on which are stalag.
mite toys in the form of almost everything
imaginable, caused too, by the droppings
Of calcareous water and of the most fast
astic colors. The ceiling of all the rooms
of this cave has wavy surface. The waves
run parallel on an easterly and westerly
direction. They are of different width and
thickness. They are denticulated with
stalactites which give it the appearance of
saw. These stalactites are formed by
calcareous water. The water in this cave
is the source of Penn's Greek. In every
part of the cave are hanging bats, heads
downward, in countless numbers, of all
species and varieties in this part of the
world. A visit to this great natural curios-
ity is we'll worth any PERSONS trouble and
expense. The cave is the property of Mr..
D. Long, who accommodates all who come
to visit it for a small remuneration.
