Mystery of Wolf Rock Cavern Attempted
ExpIoration-Success Elopers.


LIVINGSTON, VA, January 9.-(Spe-
cial.)-Stony Point, a little Albemarle
hamlet. is boasting Of the longevity of Its
residents. Mr.. Tazewell Brockman, at the
age OF SO, is peart and hearty as a boy
while Mrs. Munday has reached her seth
wear. and will. from present appearances,
outlive the nineteenth century. MIS-
Lindsay. who died few weeks ago, was
in her 9th year.
Not a great distance from Loyingston,
on Appleberry's mountain, there is an
underground cave OF some little depth'
shelved by an oyerhanging rock, known
as "Wolf Rock" This cavern Is supposed
TO be inhabited by a Wild animal, as uh-
canny noises are frequently heard eina
mating from its gloomy depths. SeVerai
venturesome young men OF the FaDers
neighborhood decided to explore this mys-
terry a few days ago and they proceeded
TO the spot. One of the party entered the
cave. and presently his companions on the
outside were startled by a pistol shot.
The next moment the explorer from within
appeared at the opening and explained
that after proceeding inwards for snort
distance an unearthly sound reached MS
ears. and he fired the pistol at the same
time making the fastest time for the open
air. AS none Of his companions cared TO
repeat the experiment the mystery Is stlll
unsOlyed.
A WEDDING PARTY.
News reaches here OF runaway couple
from Albemarle who went to Washington
on Wednesday and were united in the holy
bonds OF matrimony. with no delay about
| the matter. Miss Edith Dean was the
Young lady and Mr. Ernest Thomas was

| gagged to another gentleman at the time

The text was bout the prodigal who spent his

But a sweet thought gave him comfort when
he hardly wished to live:

Newspaper Laws.

l. Subscribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary are
considered as wishing to continue
their subscription.
2. If the subscribers order the
discontinuance OF their periodicals,
the publisher may continue to send
them until all arrearages are paid,
8. IL subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the
office to which they are directed,
they are responsible until they have
settled their bill and ordered them
discontinued.
4 1T the subscribers move 10 other
places without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to the
former direction, they are held re-
sponsible.
.. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
office or removing and leaving them
Hncailed for, is prinad tdctd evidence
of intentional fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound TO give notice to pub
fishers at the end of their time, it
they do do not wish to continue TAX
ing it; otherwise the publisher is
authorized to send it, and the sub
scriber will be responsible until an
express notice with payment of all
arrearages is sent to the publisher.
The latest postal laws are snch
that newspaper publishers can arrest
any one for fraud who takes paper
and refuses to pay for it. Under
this law the man who allows his SUBJ
scription to run along for some time
unpaid aud then orders the postmas-
ter to mark it refused" and have
a postal card sent notifying tho pub
Usher, lays himself liable to arrest
and fine the same as for theft, etc.
