For THE HERALD.
A GOOD PIECE OF WORK.

Mr.. EDITOR:-If you are not run
over with news this week, and will
give me room enough in your valuable
paper, wish only to state that had
some business in the upper end of Ber-
kelley Co., and we halted las I had a
friend with mel. We did not talk
long until we heard the usual signal
for dinner and of course we didn't wait
for the second invitation, but accepted
the kind hospitality of Messrs. j. r..
& r. NJ. Brown. They are extensive
stock dealers. Wejust arrived In time
to see large, handsome barn finish
ed. After dinner we were shown all
around and examined the work of the
barn which is done in the very best of
workmanllke manner. The work
stand the closest inspection of any like
workmen. 1t is 40x70 feet; is feet
high to square. The work was COM
pleted in 45 days with 4 hands. from
the time the first stick of timber was
cut. We learn that Messrs. Thomas
w. Marble e. Bro. were the builders.
1t certainly reflects great credit to
them as workmen and men who I'M
derstand their business. After having
a pleasant talk with Messrs. Brown &
Bro. we thanked them for their kind
ness, and wishing them a prosperous
future, took our departure.

1t Is q fact not generally known that
there is in Back Creek Valley Cav.
ern, Of no mean magnitude either in
size or beauty
1t Is situated on the farm of w. T.
Siler, Esq, about nine miles from
Martinsburg, five miles from Hedges
Vile and one mile from Tomahawk
Springs. Mr.. s. has incurred consid-
cradle expense in fitting up and max.
the entrance easy and comfortable,
and the avenues smooth and dry. On
entering the cave a distance of about
twenty-five feet is made by means of
wooden steps. This lands on an avenue
which with its various Intersections
lead into some most beautiful rooms
and halls. The fi.stintersectlon leads
into Echo Hall where the slightest
noise will reverberate to an ast0nish-
ing degree. At the entrance to this
hall is stalagmite formation SO per-
feet indeed as to force the idea upon
the beholder that it had been placed
there by the hand of art as statue in
commemoration some hero who had
passed from the known to the I'M
known. Leaving this point the next
attraction is Elkhorn Cascade which
looks as If at one time it had been the
bed of rapid stream forcing itself
down the side of the cave. Here are
also many stalactite formations most
beautiful indeed some of which are
true representations of Elkhorns.-
Passing on from this we enter Glitter
ing Hall /; the ceiling in this Hall is
about twenty feet high, the walls are
SO coated with crystalization that it
seems to be literally covered with
diamonds Of the first water. We pass
on and search the tower of Elephants.
This is stalagmite formation resem-
bling several elephants one above an
other. Not far from this is another
formation which resembles a love sick
swain with his lump of sweetness
clasped to his bosom and he whisper
ing double distilled sOftness into her
ear. From this we pass on and enter
Music Hall, here we find a large num-
Der of stalactite formations of various
sizes. which by tapping lightly upon
them produce clear, distinct musical
sounds. No two of them having the
same tune. From this we pass into
Moss Hall, the walls of this apartment
are covered with a formation exactly
resembling the moss frequently found
on the surface of the earth, both in
color and construction. This is in
striking contrast, as in all other parts
of the cave the walls and formations
have the appearance Of carbonate OF
lime. We now pass into lake avenue
which leads LIS to beautiful lake of
pure water of about Is by Is feet sur
face and IL inches depth. The temper
AZURE of the lake is 54o. The general
temperature of the cave is co.. The
atmosphere is as pure as it is upon
top of the ridge under which the cav
ern lies. l cannot here speak of all
the beauties that present themselves,
and to describe them would be impos-
sible. A visit to the cave will amply
repay all necessary trouble and ex-
pense. Visitors will find Mr.. S. to be
a pleasant and intelligent gentleman,
and at all times ready with lamps
and fiambean to show up and explain
that portion of the region of darkness
of which he is the fortunate posses

KEARNEYsVILLE.

The West Virginia Democrat is a
cranky little sheet.
Nearly all of you living over in
Berkeley know something about Tom
ahawk Springs but few there be that
find the tomahawk. We made a visit
to that place last week and were anx-
ious to know something about this
place where the red men used to dance
around their camp fire and where
their hideous yells rang through the
lonely forest like demons let loose
from their chains. We believe the
Original tomahawk to be on the farm
now owned by Albert Roney about a
half mile from the Tomahawk Post
Office. 1t is large spring encased in
solid limestone rock and resembles
the red mans famous weapon of war.
Our institute begins July 20. Can't
some of you Berkeley teachers come
over, just for fun. We will have some
ladies here from Shepherds College
and also some Of your fairest Martins
burg ladies.
The heavy storm last Saturday even
ing raised the Opequon creek at Riley's
ford, SO that it was almost impossi-
BILE to cross without being dashed
down by its rapid current. The storm
in some parts of Jefferson Co., was
simply terrible, yet the sun was shi-
ming and all was bright and serene in
Martinsburg. Persons that were in
town. from here, during the day were
utterly surprised, when they were re
turning homo in the evening, to see
the creek fOaming and lashing its
banks at such wild and fearful rate.
The Rev. w. B. Evers living near
Vanclevesville has fitted up house
for the culture Of silk and has given it
in charge of his little son Upton, who
manages it with a great deal of skill.
There are about four thousand silk
worms (Bymbyx nori) now feeding
in this house and the enterprise so far
has been quite successful. Can't other
farmers put themselves to thinking of
some similar occupation in which to
have their sons engage so as to make
farm life pleasant and attractive. If
the farmers knew it they could have
the happiest and most levely homes,
yet SO many get an idea that farm life
is life of drudgery and hardships and
they are not backward in telling their
children this. Consequently the far
mer's boy looks to the crowded cities
for employment, they go there to join
the many in the over-crowded profess
sions to live out scanty and miser-
able existence. X.
