Congress 53 are new men. OF the 1873 re-
publcans elected 81 are new men. This in
cludes men who have served in previous Con-

therefore, lis new members out of total of

A New CAVE Discovery IN KENTUCKY.
Another wonderful cave has recently been
discovered near Glasgow Junction, Ky. It
has already been explored for . distance Of
twenty three miles, in one direction, called
the long route, aud sixteen miles in another
direction, called the short route. The av-
enues are very wide; span of horses can be
easily driven through for distance of eleven
miles Three rivers. wide and very deep,
are encountered on the long route. One of
them is nsvigabe for fourteen miles, until
the passage becomes too narrow to admit a
boat. The cave is wonderful beyond descrip
ton, and far surpssses in grandeur the Nam
moth or any cave ever before discovered
Several mummified remains have been dis
covered in one of the largo rooms. They
were reposing in stone collins, rudely con
structed, and from appearances may have
been in this cave for centuries They pre-

The Good Templars, encouraged by the
great success OF their first entertainment,
have determined to offer to our people on
Monday evening, December 9th, another OPP
portunity to pass a pleasant evening in o
rational and improving manner. They have
been fortunate in securing for that occasion
the services of our well>k nown and popular
speaker, Hon a. r. Boteler. His subject
is one of much interest to our people, as it is
connected with our local history-'Jus
to james Rumsey, the Inventor of the Steam
boat" "Who invented the steamboat" is
question which has occasioned much con-
troversy, an achievement of which nations
as we'll as individuals, have been covetous.-
James Rumsey, a native of Maryland, re-
moved to Shep herdstown when young man,
and in the October session Of the Virginia
Assembly of 1874, he obtained the passage
of an act guaran teeing TO him the exclusive
right to the use of his invention in navigating
the waters of that State for the space of ten
years from date. His first public trial was
in 1856. This much we gather from Howe s
history of Virginia, but there is much of in-
terest connected with the invention and trial
that has never been made known to the pub
lie. Mr.. Botcler has made the subject q
study, and by careful research has unearthed
much valuable testimony that will be pre-
scented to the public for the first time on this
occasion. HIr. Boteler, as an eloquent and
Interesting speaker, needs no introduction to
our people, and we know that the simple an
nouncement of his lecture will be sufficient
to gather at Washington Hall crowded
