WASHINGTON COLLEGE.

OCT. 12.-Since this section Of country
has had no correspondent for some time,
/ will give to your readers some of the
most interesting facts that have recently
occurred around this place, noted for its
health, education and religion.
As to health, l will simply quote an ex-
preston used by one of our physicians
who said: "Unless there was more sick
ness around here than had been, the doc
tors would have to seek some other pro.
fession to make q living"
New students are coming in daily. The
roll now numbers about one hundred and
thirteen. Prof. Watson took his class out
on u geological tour last Saturday. He
went to explore Cans cave, located about
n and one-half miles from Home depot.
Thirty.fvc students accompanied him.
The Professor with his seaching mind
and ventuiesome disposition led the way,
breaking rocks, explaining their forma-
ton and giving their history. His lee
lures were so interesting that we forgot
our torches till they began to burn u
fingers, then there was q general stampede
among the girls for the entrance, but we
had stationed burning candles along the
way for guides, and our retreat was made
sure. But the professor, not satisfied
with the specimens he had obtained, re-
tanned his specimen bearer and some Of
the bravcst boys for afarther search On
finding a small hole in the floor Of the
cave, he concluded to enter II. He test
cd the cavity and found It safe from gas;
and started down eetforemost. His feet
went through pretty easily, and, believ-
ing he could go through anything he
could get his feet into, slid down In q
perpendicular direction but he soon
found his body TOO large for the orifce.
He dangled his feet about in vain for q
support; he could neither go down nor
get back. We boys laughed till 1t be-
came evident that he was really In an
alarming situation, when we pulled
at him until he slipped out. The first
thing he said when released. was: THANK
you;'' but the next u~tterance was, "boys,
let us hunt daylight" Upon the whole
the trip was M Of profit and amusement
TO his class.
