Finding Remarkable Cave.

A party of northerners, who have
been prospecting for minerals in this
neighborhood for some time, writes a
Chulsfnee, Ala, correspondent 20 The
New York Sun, arrived here from
Riddlesbridge, on the Tallapoosa
river. They report the finding by
them of a remarkable cave near there,
and give a graphic account Of their
meeting with the Inhabitants of the
cave. The entrance to the cave is
near the head Of a small ravine, about
one mile from the Tallapoosa river.
and is barely large enough for one
person to enter at time. The party
entered the cave at about p. NJ, and
spent two hours exploring it. The
cave is about 400 feet IN length, vary.
ing in width from ten 10 90 feet, with
an average height of fifteen feet, and
is dimly lighted throughout by small
assures in the rocks, extending from
the roof to the ground above.
When the explorers were about to
leave the cave they were terrified at
finding the exit blocked by writing
mass of big rattlesnakes. The noise
made by the party had doubtless rous-
ed the snakes from their hiding places
among the rocks, and they had gath
cred in large numbers near the en-
trance. Deeming discretion the better
part of valor, the party retreated to
that part of the cave most remote
from the entrance TO wait for the
snakes to return to their hiding places.
The explorers were compelled to re-
main in the cave until morning. Soon
after dark one of the party struck
match to light cigar, and, after
lighting it. threw the still burning
match on the bottom of the cave.
He was startled at seeing a bright
flame flash up from the rocks where
the match had fallen, which rose to
.ae height of four feet, burned bright
ly all night, and was still burning
when they left the cave IN the morn
ing. A small assure could be seen in
the rocks beneath the flame, and the
sapposition is that volume of natural
gas was escaping through this fissure.
DAYLIGHT came at last TO the great
relief of the explorers, the entire party
having remained awake all night.
Going forward TO the entrance OF the
cave they found that the snakes, with
the exception of one or two, had gone
back 70 their hiding places. Those
that remained were quickly dispatch
ed with stones, and the explorers
made their exit >m the cave in safe
ty. A large pan J will go from here
prepared to extingUish the snakes and
fully explore this wonderful cave.

A Peculiar Case.
Nashville Union

A very peculiar case came up before
United States Commissioner K. L.
Gregory yesterday afternoon. About
3 O'Clock a young man named Law
renee, having a package to mail, laid
it on the top of the mail-box at the
corner OF Cherry and Union streets.
Shortly ofterward he was standing
Eear and saw negro man, whose
name was subsequently learned to be
Turner, take the package and start off.
He at once followed and stopped him,
and Detectives Hauifn and Price APP
peared about that time, the negro was
arrested, and at o'clock arralgned
before the commissionerOu the charge
of interfering with the United States
mail.
Capt Winters, superintendent OF
the free delivery department of the
postotiice, was summoned to give tes-
timoney in regard 10 the law, and
upon his testimony Turner was dis
charged.
According to the law and rulings
upon the subject, the package had not
been SOailed, and in consequence
Turner was not amenable to the Unit
ed States law, although he was to the
state law, but the value of this pack
age being so small, he did not care TO
push the matter.
A word IN regard to this practice Of
placing packages and papers on the
top of mail boxes will not be amiss,
and probably prove of service to the
general public not posted in the mat
ter Letter carriers are positively in
structed not to take such papers or
packages when it interferes with the
delivery of first class mail, and as they
are nearly loaded with as much mail
as they can carry, packages thHs left
often remain there until the following
day. Their taking or leaving them is
discretionary. Letters, papers, orpack
ages are not mailed under the protec-
ton of the United States postal laws
unless they are placed within the mail
box or IN the postoflice. People often
leave valuable packages in this man
ner, labormg under the impression
that the government is responsible
for them. Such, however, is not the
case, and if stolen, the person is only
liable under the state laws.

A heartrending death occurred on the Bur
lington, one block south of the canal on wal
nut street Thursday forenoon, in which the
l7months old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
Curtin was horribly put to death under the
wheels of a locomotive. The residence of the
parents of the child is near the scene OF the
accident. 1t appears that the little child got
away from the house and was playing on the
crossing when engine No. 442 ran over the lit
tie one seyerng the head from the body.
When the terrified mother in n few minutes
afterwards appeared on the scene, she picked
I'D the head ut the foot of the embankmcnt
where it had rolled down. Eugene Scoville
and his fireman knew nothing of the accident
until they had passed some distance beyond
the crossing. The fireman was engaged III
putting in coal and the engineer was adjust
ing the injector and neither of them, OF
course, saw the child on the track. AT the IN
quest by Coroner Clendenen, that afternoon,
a verdict in accordance with the above facts
was rendered in which the jury censured the
employees for the killing. There was much
excitement over the affair. 1t is reported that
