A Train Detained.

The Chester "Times,' says that Oh
Monday, the through express traiI
|trom Washington and Baltimore, due
here at 6.l4 P. NJ, did not arrive un-
/ iii nearly s P. NJ. There were eight OF
ten parlor and sleeping cars in the train
and the ice on the track made it diff
cult matter for the iron horse to draw
- heavy a load. Th, train left VII,
|mngt0n ON time but cams to stand
still near Claymont station. Some
part of the machinery of the locomotive
became disarranged, and, like balky
horse, it refused to pull. Danger sig
nails were put out in front and rear,
and trainman was despatched Oh an
Involuntary pedestrian tour, carrying
IA couple OF lanterns above his head.
The sleet was beating down, and the
condition of the track was not fayora
ble for this kind of exercise, but the
man made good time to bellevue, and
from there despatched to Wilmington
for an engine. In the meantime some
|oi the passengers recalled the fact that
Ia terrible collision occurred very near
to the spot on which the train was
staining, some years ago, under cir
,umstances almost precisely similar,
and began to wish that the locomoti"e
would move Oh in the direction OF
Philadelphia. However, when they
saw the colored signal lights half a

The La Crusse (Wis.) Chron:cie a

ings. said TO be exact trncings (reduc.
ed) Of some Of the pictures on the walls
of . small cavern recently discovered II
Barre Township, some miles from la
Crosse. The cave Is described IS 80 feet
long BY - wide. and 1t its largest d.
mansions about eight feet high above
the sand. which Il from three 10 six feet
deep. Upon the walls are very rude
carvings representing men. animals.
arms, implements, and something that
appears 70 be hieroglyphics. One pic.
ture represents . man with bow and ar
row, shooting at an animal. There are
three .buffaloes and one rabbit repre-.
sented; three animals which. II large.
must have been hippoPotami; one that
appears TO represent the mastodor.
and one moose, quite plainly delineated.
There are eight representation Of what
are either canoes, much carved, or.
which they more resemble, hammocks.
One sketch Of man Il quite pain. He
wears kind Of chaplet, or crown, and
was probably chief Of his tribe or clan.
There are many fragments OF pictures
where the rock has decomposed. II i
coarse, soft, white sandstone On one
side there is . space about two feet high
and two and one-half feet into the wall.
that has in time decomposed and fallen
out. Above are the upper fragments Of
pictures and below the lower, showing
that they we're made when the rock was
entire. From the depth to which the
decomposition had reached in dry and
dark cavern, they must have been quite
ancient.
These carvings, as copied by the
Chronfcle, are such IS are commonly
made by savages the world over. The
alleged mastodon looks mere like hog,
while the hippopotamus might he any
square muzzIed animal. The Chronicle
says: . Every one who has visited the
spot so far has come away convinced
that the cave far ante-dafes any thing
short of the ancient cave dwellers, and
il needs only sight Of the interior Of
the room to convince the most harden
ed skeptic that there Is no possibility Of
humhug." Among the visitors named
are DIR. H. g. Miller. who. it i said,
has made careful studies Of the mound
builders; and Hon. Hlgh Cameron.
who Is described as . well informed
geolcgist- The latter pronounced the
discovery as = very important one.
This, we take il, viii depend entirely on
the correctness Of the conjecture that
some Of the animals represented are the
prehistoric creatures named.

BY the liberality Of Mr.. Cyrus McCof-
mick, Of reaper fame. He, with some
other gentlemen, has relieved the Pres
byterian Seminary Of that city from
debt, and has guaranteed that 1t shall
be kept free from embarrassment in the
future. Prof. Patton was anxious TO &C

for pursuing his stu lies there were far
superior to those offered In Chicago.

A fatal case OF yellow fcyer-the first Of
the season--was reported from Memphis
on Wednesday, the 9th Of July.
an Irisnman, shoemaker BY occu-
patton, who lived on the northeast corner Of
DeSoto and Ponfofoc streets. Mulbrandon,
was taken sick on the previous Saturday. He
was attended BY DR.. w. r. Rodgers, who 1t
once recognized the nature Of the disease
and treated him accordingly. After death
an autopsy was made by number Of ply
sicians, and all concurred in the opinion that
II was . genuine case Of yellow fever. The
news caused sudden exit from the city Of
= number Of the more timid inhabitants, al
though the doctors say The case was sporadic
In its nature and does not indicate any thing
in the nature Of IN epidemic.
A second death from yellow fever in
Memphis occurred on the 10th. the victim
being an infant child Of Judge J. Il. X. Kay.
Judge Ray himself and son, aged q, were
reported down with the disease. Judge
Rays residence Is In the outskirts
OF the city, at least . mile distant
from the locality In which Null
brandon lived. The excitement caused
by the breaking out OF the disease reached
almost panic to-day, and every train leav-
ing the city was crowded with refugees,
many being forced 10 remain over unwill-
ingly on account Of lack Of transportation.
The Board Of Health issued . proclamation,
recognizing the gravity Of the crisis, and
while expressing . hope that the disease
would not assume an epidemic form, rec
ommending those who could 70 quietly re-
move their families 70 place Of safety.
DIR. Hamilton, Supervising Surgeon. GEN
eral Of the United States Marine
Hospital Service, does not apprehend
repetition OF the yellow fever cpl
dcmic OF last year In the South. He
thinks there may be sporadic cases, but
considers that the precautions taken will
prevent any spread Of the disease. The me-
gro exodus he thinks may carry considers
