necessary to guard that, and King made
a practice of retiring to the cave when-
ever he discovered soldiers or refugees
in the neighbOrhood.
In December, 1852, having heard of
the approach of some soldiers he hid
himself, as usual under those eircum-
stances, in his cave for the night, little
dreaming that he was crawling into
what proved to be his tomb for thirteen
long years During that night a fear
ful storm commemorate storm for viO-
lence of wind and volume of water, is
still spoken of as remarkable by many
of the citizens of the county. This tire
mendous rain caused landslide on the
side of the mountain which closed the
opening at which Mr.. King had dentered,
what would have been forever except
for the building of the Cincinnati
Southern road.
The rest is soon told: each day being
repetition of the day preceding, or
rather it was but one long, terrible
night, Kings stock of light now was
soon exhausted, and he was left of
course wholly in the dark but of pro-
visions he had ample, and the peculiar
dry atmosphere of the cave, kept it
sound and good, while small spring a
short distance Oft provided him with
ample water for drinking and cleansing
himself. Consequently the cropping
backward and forward, in the total
darkness, from the spring to the pile Of
corn and bacon has constituted his
only occupation He had no knowl-
edge of time, but thought he had been
there at least thirteen years. His mind
seems but little affected-his greatest
difficulty being in finding words to ex-
press his meaning. He says when he
went into the cave he weighed one
hundred and ninety pounds. He would
scarcely weigh one hundred pounds
now, which is not surprising when We
consider that he has endured thirteen
dreadful years in comparison of which
the experience of the Prisoner Of Chilon
might he called paradise.

The weather for few days past, has
been beautiful, and our farmers are
planting corn.
Last Thursday night We had severe
frost, but il cid not kill the fruit in this
locality, and present prospects are more
fiattering for a large crop than for years
past.
The old song "bugs are cutting up all
the tobacco plants" is being sung as
usual at this season of the year.
The mad-dog excitement still pre-
walls here. Some weeks ago a large
dog came to Hop. Hoods, in this vicini-
ty, and was biting at everything it
came in contact with. After biting
several hogs, it was killed. Last FRI
day one of the hogs took hydrophobia,
which caused no little excitement, and
if matters do not change, there will
not be a eur left i'm Butler county.

Thirteen Years Unefcr the tiromna.

From reliable persons just from Riley
* O'Neal's works, in Scott county, upon
the Cincinnati Southern railroad, We
learn the following. and while we do not
personally vOuch for its entire accuracy,
il seems to be well authenticated and as
related to us we give it to the public: Ii
is known to many of our readers that in
the construction of the Cincinnati
Southern Road numerous spurs of the
Cumberland Mountains have to be tun-
neled through. One of the largest Of
these is being excavated by Messrs.
Riley x ONeal, who have a large force
blasting and digging i'm the bowels Of
the earth. On Thursday last after a
very heavy blast had been put off it was
discovered that an opening had been
made into large esubterraneOus opening
or cave, which the curiosity of the
workmen induced them to explore
The cave proved to be large and re-
markably dry one, composed of numer-
Gus rooms, some of which were remark
ably beautiful. They, bengal provided
with miners lamps, had no difficulty in
passing from cavern to cavern "a the
different openings or rooms Were discOv-
cred. When about turning back from
one of the largest rooms one of the men
discovered something which he at first
Thought was wild beast and he
commenced to beat hasty retreat.
His companions, however, believing
that he had seen nothing alive laughed
at him Tor his fears, and proceeded to
investigate the cause. Imagine their
surprise when they found almost a wild
beast, indeed, but in fact a human be-
ing. Yes, human being who had not
seen the light Of day or heard human
voice for thirteen years' He had crouch

Older. His hair and beard hung down
to his waist i'm IL tangled, clOtted mass,
and was as white as the driven snow,
while upon his entire body Was AN un-
natural growth of hair also of milky
whiteness. Being entirely void of any
clothing the white hair gave him IA
remarkable appearance. The tempera-
ture OF the cave being quite warm he
evidently had suffered none for the
want of clothing, though his shrunken

showed a period OF suffering and dis

By some the value of fish to the brain

Editor Herald:
The weather is now, aud has been for
sometime, beautiful, and farmers are
taking advantage of it, rolling logs,
blowing and preparing for crops. Many
of our farmers have concluded to farm
on the Yankee system: plant less and
cultivate it better. This, we think, is
decided improvement in farming, and
will doubtless he adopted by many more
some day. Wheat looks fine, and il
growing rapidly since the warm weather
has begun. Some farmers are pasturing
their wheat; they seem to think that it
will improve the quality of the grain.
Peach trees are all i'm full bloom, and
bid fair for handsome yield if not
nipped i'm the bud hereafter. What u
nice treat it would be if we do have Il
full crop of peaches once more, for it is
so seldom that We have any at all.
The tobacco trade is rather dull now,
and some OF. our merchants that paid
such big prices for the weed some time
back, seem to think they are going to
make money. Over the left shoulder,
unless there is a change in the market
soon.
The health of the community is COM
paratively good at this writing
one death since our last letter.
Harriet Devices died on saturday,
April Sd, after long and severe illness
of many months of that dreadful dis
ease, consumption. She leaves II hus-
band and one child, little Bertiel, who
have the heartfelt sympathies of the
entire community. Her remains were

Its action in congress since Il secured power
to control legislation has shown conclu-
stvely that the spirit and dogmas WHICH led
TO rebellion are still extant in the demo-
cratic party as controlling influence. Its
material legislation has been in the inter
ests and under the behests Of that section
oil country which was in rebellion. Its
sympathies centre in the south and its
action has been strongly controlled by the
wishes aud purposes of a disloyal section
OF the country. Hence, so long rs IL has II
history for which It cultivates no feeling of
regret or repentancc-so long as IL
favors policies and dogmas that are hostile
to the American interest, the peaceful
preservation Of the union and the iudivid-
nal rights of American citizenship--so long
as 1t makes war upon the very groundwork

so long us it controls the elective franchise

The exports by s77,ll9,S7, while the exports OF

TIE late campaign in Georgia was con-
Quoted entirely by democrats against demo-
Gratis. 1t was n campaign of personal abuse.
The republicans MS party, stood by and
looked on. But should they ever want
campaign material in u future state contest
they will find it ready to their hands in
files of the democratic press, and in the
documents printed and circulated by demo-
Gratis. If any republican should now reit-
crate the charges against CoLouITT and
NoRwooD made in the contest, he would
be accused of ma lignity, falsehood and
bloody-shirt tactics. Bribery, embezzle-
ment aud actual theft were charged upon
CoLQUITT, besides his completely in the
miseries inflicted upon the state convicts
and the alleged murder of thousands of
negro prisoners taken at the battle of Olus-
tee. NORWOOD was charged with denying
that the negro had any future aud practi-
cally advocating his determination. They
make themselves out very undesirable rep
utations, and il Georgia democrats think
they have seen the last of the issues in
volved and the records exposed they nre
badly mistaken.
