Friday afternoon party of five, in
GLIDING your correspondent, started out
to explore the mysteries of peculiar
cavern, situated about two miles south
west of this village. 1t is known as the
''Bliss Cave" and its existence has
been known for over 20 years, but has
never been thoroughly explored. 1t
consists of n series of rooms that in
many instances rise high over head
with dome shaped roofs, covered with
innumerable stalactites, and in some OF
the rooms where the floor and roof
come close together each stalactite has
it corresponding stalagmite projecting
upward from the floor of the cave in
many instances coming together, form
ing a pillar reaching from the floor to
the roof. These seen by the light of
half a dozen candles give peculiarly
wierd effect that has to be seen to be
appreciated.
In one room about 6 feet square by
II high, the water has performed n
singular freak. 1t seems to have flow
ed over wall near the top, probably
for centuries and the lime deposit has
formed a sort of miniature cascade COW
ering one entire side of the room. So
complete is the similarity that one in
voluntarily listens to hear the rush of
the waters, and nothing but the grave
like stiffness dispels the illusion. The
finest views are those remote from the
entrance, and we were Obliged to lie
flat in the mud and crawl. something
after the fashion of Ewes tempter, 10
reach them, but felt well repaid for all
our exertions by the extraordinary
beauty of the different formations, The
first room is the largest having an aver
age height of feet by 30 in width
The cave proper has many smaller cav
tiles running in all directions, forming
the homes of numerous wild animals
which have in all probability inhabited
it for hundreds of years as the crumb-
ling fragments of bones etc. scattered
about would indicate.
The Mt Hope creamery seems to be
doing a fine ''biz. y this season. We see
their butter wagon at the depot two or
three times per week loaded with the
choicest products of the dairy. We are
informed that they run routes with an
average of so lbs to the route per diem.
and also that their prices paid for
cream this season have been in excess
of any other creamery in the county.
Billy Dubois, one of the bridge
carpenters who had his hand severely
bruised some time ago is reported as
doing finely and will soon be able to
resume his work.

Mt. Hope.

The pen of your correspondent seems
to have been idle for long time, and
now it is a matter of some doubt whether
this rest may have proved to be re-
freshing process or has not allowed the
general rustiness consequent upon mac
tivity to obtain. At any rate the enter
prise and activity of our community
have not abated, but rather continue on
in the ''eyen tenor of their way max
ing no gigantic pretensions, cut now, as
heretofore, ringing sufficient number
of changes on the everyday chime to
relieve monotony and sustain that vari-
ETY. which has been termed the '.spice
of life.n

the preceding fall terms.
| Nj. ID. Taylor, our worthy townsman
and enterprising mechanic in the mat
ter of producing all kinds of iron and
woodwork for the last sixteen years,
now concludes TO drop a fourishing
business in other good hands and re-
move to some place where a special line
of business has more extended meas
ure, and constructions perhaps more
elaborate than are justifable in our vii
lage and community. Mr.. Taylor's
natural ability and talent will warrant
him in taking advantage of such oppor
tanities. This departure of such excel
lent friends and neighoors from among
us, meets with universal protest
think we are pardonable for ''taIkine
about people behind their back, = if it il
only truth, we say, and we remember
the golden rule, and in regard to these
neighbors that have moved away W.
can truly say that in genuine accommo
dation to those that deserved anC
needed it they have never been lacking
and in all efforts and measures for tn,
public good they were among the fore
most to support or lend a helping hanC
in any way. And Mrs. Taylor, particu
larly, by extended acquaintance will
everybody here from infancy, combined
with so much natural willingness to Il,
and the knowledge of ''what to do,
has lent very pleasing influence in af
fairs connected with the prosperity o
the community, and by her peculiarl,
sympathetic nature, although not being
strong physically, she has been enabled
to cause the burdens of many of tn,
endearing ones to become much les
hard to bear. May prosperity atten,
them in their new undertakings.
