Another Wonder.

The impression has long prevail
ed that Kentucky was we'll nigh un-
dermined by caves. The following
from Glasgow, Hy., sustains this
view:
Another wonderful cave has re-
Gently been discovered near this
town. 1t has already been explor-
ed for a distance Of % miles in one
direction called the Long Route,
and 16 miles in another direction
called the Short Rou e. The aven.
ues are very wide. A span of horses
can easily be driven through for a
distance Of IL miles. Three rivers
which are wide and very deep, are
encountered on the Long Route.
One of them is navagable for four
teen miles until the passage be.
comes too narrow to admit Il boat.
This forms the third, or River
Route, which has been explored in
a boat. The cave Is wonderful be.
yond description. and far surpasses
in grandeur the Mammoth Cave or
any other cave ever discovered.
Several mummifed remains have
been discovered in one of the large
rooms. They were reposing in
stone cOffins rudely constructed, and
and from appearances may have
been in this cave for centuries.
They present every appearance OF
the Egyptian mummies. Great ex-
citement prevails over this very im-
portant discovery. Mr.. z. Mort
more, of Chestnut street, Louisville,
purchased three of the mummies
and has them now in his possession.
Maj. George M. Proctor, Of Glas-
gov junction, KY, purchased the
remainder of the mummies from the
owner of the cave, whose name is
Thos. Kelly. He is, or rather was,
a few days ago, a very poor man,
to make a payment on a
farm of twenty-four acres. Upon
which by mere accident the entrance
to the wonderful cave was discover

Tate was our debonair host at night,
He opened his doors to every one
and gave the young people fine
party at his residence. He is gener-

The Day at Rutledge.
RUTLEDGE. EAST Tenn, !
July 9th, 1873. {


To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
Last Thursday was the GLORIOUS
4th," and it was realized to con-
siderable extent in RutIeGge. Ear.
Iy on the morning of the 4th the
young ladies of Rutledge, joined by
the young ladies Of Beans Station
and Turley's Mill. gathered at what
is called CarmichaePs Springs 81
miles east of Rutledge,) for the pur-
pose of having a picnic and enjoy
ing themselves generally. The sun
shown down as hot as ever he did
on Mercury. it seemed, and though
he exerted himself to his utmost ca
pacity, still ne did not defeat one
plan that had been contemplated
on being carried out. 1T was as
hot as the 4th july" and the great
crv was. How warm it is today -
and, ''Did you ever see such hot
day" But fortunately, to say, tho
place which was selected for the oc-
casion was as cool, and pleasant
and as suitable one as any place in
East Tennessee. The locality was
certainly most beautiful one. We
were just ! mile from old majestic
Clinch, and in between two little
mountains, enYironed by beautiful
elms, maple, and birch trees, which
obscured the rays Of the sun almost
as well as a dense cloud. just a
few steps on the hill side was to be
found large beautiful ferns, growing
profusely, and luxuriating in the
sylvan shades. They were greatly
admired by the young ladies, and
seemed to be a favorite ornament
for their costumes. There are four
kinds of mineral springs there, white
and red sulphur. alum, and chaly-
beate. Then there comes from
little secluded vale, a refreshing
spring which winds its way slowly
to the creek below, and which con-
tributeG much in the way of nice
cold water for our delicious lemon
ade.
There were two nice sets of Gro
quet on the grounds, and after ia
king lively game the next thing
On the programme was dinner. Af~
ter participating in the largest din
ner we have eaten in year or more
(and letting our pockets eat some
too,l we proceeded TO play a game
cards, but deserted cards and went
to crequet again. and enjoyed our
selves very much indeed.
We think, Mr.. Editor. you might
have been more liberal with your
people from Morristown, You did
not send over but one. and that lit
tie parsonage was our friend Mr.
Frank Stubblefeld, and he came
down after dinner.

Astounding Discovery in COnnec'
. ticut.

Connecticut is land Of wonders.
It has long enjoyed the reputation
of having within it's borders the
most spicy workers in the wood
within the confines of this broad un-
iverse. But Connecticut has sur
passed all previous efforts in the
culinary line. She has solved the
problem SO long the perplexity aud
and terror Of naturalists, and has
discovered the true sphere of USE
fulness of the amphibious croaker of
the bog-the agile, tuneful frog.
1t is the most astounding discovery
of modern journalism there is a
sort of slap-dash about the affair,
too, that is peculiarly touching. 1t
may be called the cream of modern
Inventions, not even excepting Edi-
son. with the renowned phonograph.
The discovery was thus reached. A
farmer in MiddIetown, the home of
the University boys. having placed a
pail of milk in a spring of water to
cool over night, went there the next
morning and found, it is solemnly
asserted. instead of the pail of milk.
large bull.frog sitting in cOntem-
plative mood upon roll of fresh
butter. The sole explanation is
that the frog had jumped from the
water into the pail, and, in trying to
extricate himself, had, by diligent
and continuous strokes of his long
legs. churned the milk into butter.
Such a thing might happen in the
country. but we will venture to as
sert that no bull-frog, however en-
ergetically trained, or however ag-
ricultural in instinct, could in any
given time convert the aqueous kind
of milk we get here into butter, or
even into tolerable buttermilk. It
would stagger the most stalwart bog
warbler in the land, and make him
wish that he were dead, or in
France. which amounts to the same
thing practically.-E"chqnge
The above story is at least seven.
ty-five years old and revamped.
The true statement Is, two young
sprouts from the village were wan.
dering out in the country, stopped
at a spring to drink when they dis
covered a Jar Of cream covered with
a nice, clean cloth, and fastened to
the jar with string. In tit of
roguishness they uncovered the
cream. put frog in it and recover
ed 1t, tying the string as they found
it. The frog. desiring to get out Of
his confinement, jumped up and up
till the cream turned to butter.
When the good dame opened the jar
out jumped the frog, leaving the
cream turned to butter and butter
milk. The old lady studied over
the matter awhile. and at last came
to the conclusion that some mis-.
cheivous boys had put the frog in
her cream and that it had brought
the butter. She could not eat the
butter. nor could she afford to lose
it. SO she concluded that it was
good enough for the town folks and
accordingly sold it to village store.
