The Erie Correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press gives an account
of Il cave, found on the farm of j. II. /
Porter, in New York State, not many
miles from where the Lake shore
Railroad crosses the boundary line Of
that state.
In his account he states that "work-
men discovered the cave and found
heaps of human bones" enOugh-so
the naturalists and archaCologists say
TO make l50 skeletons and none left
over. The bones indicate that they
were the bones of giants beside
which "our tallest men would appear
as pigmies." Bones were found some
of which are as large as water
bucket and are placed at various
places for inspection. The entire
village and country is aroused at
the discovery" Now we have no
reason to doubt this, no more than
they doubt the existence Of a cave
filled with pure ice right down near
Princeton, and our friend Capt. Allen
says it is true, he has been there,
chopped the ice, brought some home,
and that Joe Mulhatton has not been
near his office for months.
Has any distinguished scientist in
vestigated it, ifnot, why not? Is itnot
subject that would naturally call the
attention OF The learned men?
Now if there is that much ice in
that cave. lust Minh Of 1t! Ice
miles deep! it must be the water
cooler for Sheol or Iades Cor what
ever the name Of the place is) and for
customers only" l suppose. Well
it is fine thing that the new revision
came out just as the cave was discover
ed, and if it is the aforesaid "cooler'
it knocks the old birthstone idea into
a last years birds nest.
The question arises what is the
mean temperature in Shool any way ?
n kind Of picnic, ice cream GOODNESS,
sOrtCr slushy like =?
just as said thirteen years ago,
they'd fool around with that book
until we'd know heap less about it
then we already did know, and even
then we wouldn't have to forget any
thing. So they have "done gone and
done it,"
Now what is the colored brother
going TO do? Here for years he has
believed that the place was warm,
and some have tried hard and done
all in their power to "get dar" on that
account, and it turns out they have
an ice cooler located near Princeton
and from this l suppose it is cold
as thunder and all the water pipes
freeze up and plumbers rule the
whole business. Ice dealers are never
heard ofGn thcirevery day profcssion)
and "culard folks freezing to death.
Taking all that into consideration,
is there anything remarkable about
an old cave, with some old bones in
it, and a whole section of country
getting excited over It? The people
pay no attention to such trincs down
in this country. 1t takes whole ice
bergs, ice caves and dynamite TO raise
| them.
From all accounts it seems that the
present administration is the means
of Il goodly number Of Republicans
getting out. This brings up another
question. If a mans shoes are wear
ing out and the toe of the larger
magnitude Is out, is it right to say
the shoe is out at the toe, or the toe
is out at the shoe? Is the Republican
out with the Democrats or just the
other way?I think so too, and the
Republicans are doing the most of
the "outen" business.
A California physician writing to a
Medical Journal, claims that by the
use of the bruised pulp of eucalyptus
leaves, applied to a bald head it will
make hair grow.
This statement "leaves" no doubt
in my mind, but what the price of
seats in the front row will drop be-
low par, il it is so.
Weather is getting warm and Mr..
Harper looks for number of visitors
next week. The opening ball will
take place this night two weeks
(Friday July 3 and further notice
will be given. Cerulean is just as
beautiful and the water is just as
good as it will be in the middle of
summer all we need is a band which
will be on hand soon.
Doc.
