This was the exclamation of the

ST1Y Frs CAVE.

Tnis caEe il in UaiueS township,
Centre Co. Pa, on the farm of Mar
Tin Stover, deceased, its entrance is
on Pine Creek, i. dips considerably
50 that the creek often runs into it
There is high pile of rocks around
its mouth, with magnificent curva-
ture. calculated to awaken admira-
tion and curiosity. 1t is one quar-.
ter Of a mile to the terminus Of the
cave, it is supposed. 1t contains
large and spacious rooms. In pass
ing through there is q grand vault
above you, OF solid limestone, per-
haps 20 to 80 feet above the visitor.
The whole curved surface Of this
subterraneau cavern is adorned with
stalacti.es AMI stalagmit es. Water
containing carbonate of lime, rs it
trickles from Assures in the raft, on
free exposure to the air, deposits its
carbonate until pendant masses are
formed. These are called stalac-
t,tes. Similar formations formed
below are called stalagmite. Most
of the stalactites in this cave are
short and small-a few are quite
large. There is one huge Stalagmite
extending TO the ceiling. 1t is a pro
digious pile of carbonate. Some Of
the formations remind one of icic-
leg, some of busts, others of Egypt
an mummies, Sc. A stream Of
water runs through this cave some
times in one of the most remote
chambers. At this writing Pine
, Greek Is dry in the vicinity OF the
cave and so there is no running wa
ter In It anywhere. There is very
narrow passage in it that leads from
one room into another. There is al
40 a good deal OF driftwood and rub
bish In 1t. This cave, like some 9TH
ers in Centre county, has some noto-
rlety. The Penns Creek cave, how
ever, surpasSes tits one in be1uty
and interest. S, S,tangerS often visit
this cave, bat it is certainly not the
place exactly for silks and broad
cloth. .FIom the soapy and greasy
condition of things a stranger may
suddenly and Unexpectedly find him-
self in supine posture beholding
tine sights in the curved ceiling above
him.
Mr.. ID. X. accompanied the writer
and seemed to enjoy visit to an un'
derground habitation where no one
dwclls, except a eew of those crea-
lures which do not belong either to |
bird or beast-bats. After crafty !
ing our cuRosity we returned to |
Pine Creek, extinyuishel our torch
light and left for home, fully satis-
fed with our visit. Though the
caves of Centre county will not COM
pare with the Mammoth Cave of
Kentucky, they are nevertheless en-
titled to the rank of curiosities.
