Runaway Marriages.

The marriage laws in Virginia are very

required from both parties before license

minors without the parents consent is LA

about marriages that divorces are So rare

Rha. q Spider Eats.

In order to test what spider can do in
the way Of eating, we arose about daybreak
in the morning to supply this fine web
with hy. At first, however, the spider
did not come from its retreat, 50 we peep
ed among the leaves, and there discovered
that an earwig had been caught, and was
now being ieasted upon. The spider left
the earwig, rolled up the Ay, and at once
returned to his Hfrst course" This was
$50 A. NJ, in September. At IA. NJ.
the earwig had been demolished, and the
spider, after resting awhile, and probably
enjoying a nap, came down for the fly,
which it had finished at 8 A. NJ. A little
after nine We supplied him with daddy
long-lcgs, which he ate by noon. At /
o'clock blow fly was greedily seized, and
then Immediately, with an appetite ap-
parently no.worse for his previous indul.
gence, he commenced on the blow-iy.
During the day and towards evening, a
great many small green flies, or what are
properly termed midges, had been caught
in the web; Of these We counted one hun
dred and twenty all dead and fast prIso-
ners in the spiders net. Soon after dark,
provided with lantern, we went to ex-
anime whether the spider was suffering
from indigestion, or in any other way,
from his previous meals; instead, however
he was employed in rolling up together
the various green midges, when he took
them to his retreat and tea. This process
he repeated, carrying up the lots in little
detachments, until the web was eaten, fol
the web and its contents were bundled NJ
together A slight rest Of about an houl
was followed by the most industrious web
making process, and before daybreak an
other web was ready to be used ln tn,
same way, Taking the relative size o
the spider, and Of the creatures II ate, anC
applying to a man, it would be somewhat
as follows AT daybreak a small alligato
was eaten; at 7 a. NJ. a lamb; at 0 A. N.
a young camelopard; at 10 o'clock q sheep
and during the night l20 larks. This, W
believe, would be a fair allowance for MAJ
during the twenty.four hours, and coull

and digestion we can readily comprehen,

Ancient History in a Gave.

Aspecial dispatch to the St, Paul, MINI,
Pioneer Press, announces the discovery Of
a remarkable cave on the farm Of David
Samuels, 10 miles from La Crosse. The
cave is 80 feet long, 10 feet wide, and
about 8 feet high. Above the quarry sand,
which has eViden,ally drified in and covered
the floor to the depth of three to six feet,
up the walls are very rude carvings repre-
senting men, animals, arms, and imple.
ments, and some appear 10 be hieroglyph-
les. One picture represents men, with
bows and arrows, shooting animals, three
butialoes and one rabbit. Another repre-
sents three animals which, if large, must
have been like the hippopotamus; another
appears to represent mastodon; on an
other picture moose is quite plainly de-
lineated. There are eight representations
thata canoes, much carved, or hammocks,
which they moro resemble. One sketch
OF man is very plain; the figure wears
kind Of chaplet or crown, and was proba-
bly, chief Of his tribe or clan. There are
many fragments of pictures where tho
rocks had deeomposed. The rock is a
coarse, soft white sandstone. 0n one side
Of the cave is a space about two feet high
and two aud half in length, made in the
wall. Above are the upper fragments Of
pictures, and below are the lower frag-
ments, showing that they were made when
the rock was entire. From the depth to
which decompositions reached in this dry
and dark cavern, the inscription must be
quite ancient II the carving mentioned
really represents the mastodon, the work
must have been done by the mound build,
ers,
The accumulated sand needs to be re-
moved to get full view, and possibly hu-
man remains may be fornd. The entrance
to the cave had evidently been covered by
a landslide, there being left open only a
small hole, where traps have long been
set for coons. The large number Of these
animals that were caught led to the belief
that the space inhabited by them must be
large, and investigation led to the discov-
cry Of the cave. Over the entrance, since
the landslide, poplar tree, Is inches In
diameter, has grown, which shows conclu.
sively that the cave has not been occupied
by human beings for more than a century.
