An Ancient Cave Discovered.

An Ahcicht shso DisooNosDu-
 stratford. Sept. l5.-ouite good deal of excitement has been aroused here by the accidental discovery of mysteri- ous cave in ledge of rocks on the bank of the Housatonic. at short distance in the rear of the residence of Birdsey Booth in oronoaue. and is believed by some to be the remains of or the en- trance to a prehistoric mine. and some color is given to this by the fact that small pieces of broken ore have been found mingled with the dirt and stones with which the cave is filled. The dis covery was made by Allison Morse. an old prospector. who has travelled over n large part of the continent in search Of the precious ore. MT. Morse has seen distinct indications of gold. silver and iron in lodges in various parts Of the town, and 1t was this. 1t is said, which
 induced him to locate here several
 years ago and to devote himself to n careful and scientific study of the vari-
 ous rock strata cropping out abun-
 dantly along the northern portions of
 the town, frequently finding valuable
 minerals, in small quantities, to be sure,
 but enough to warrant the belief that they existed in more or less abundance if the right vein could be found. It was while in the prosecution of this search that he accidentally came upon the singular excavation referred to. The
 investigation of it has been conducted
 by MT. Morse and the proprietor of the land with the utmost secrecy, but Charles Wakelsy. who has learned the
 principal facts, gives the following de- scription: The cave, he says, is cir cular hole about three feet in diameter, running down to an unknown depth In solid ledge of rock; the sides are smooth as if polished. It has been filled with cobbles mingled with pieces of ore resembling nickel, and the whole mass has become so cemented together | that the work of excavation is exceed ingly slow and difficult.
 Just how deep this hole may be Is of course unknown, but MT. Morse and the other gentleman, one of whom is highly educated, believe it to be the work o1 human hands, and may lead to sub- l terranean cave,
