THE LURAY CAVERNS.

The Shenandoah HERALD, in its issue
of Nay 1lth, 1s25, published a dsscrip-
tion of the Luray Cavern under the
heading of wonders of Cave.Hhl." Ii
had been explored on the Goth of April
l,25, by party Of fifteen gentlemen
fIom Luray. The de'cril ton is nearly
four columns IN length, and corresponds
very closely with the description of
several Of the rooms of the present Luray
Cavsrns.
Is it not more than prepable that
seventy years ago, the young men of
Luray explored this cavern, and that it
was 50 neglected, that when men few
years ago entered it, they thought that
they were the first human beings that
had gazed upon tho beauties of that
wonderful cavern The article referred
to locates the cave as follows:
"Ths cave 10 about one mile west Of
the little Village Of Luray, and situated
within one hundred yards of the road
leading from Thornton's Gap to New
Market The entrance IS almost exactly
at the top Of a small mountain. which haI
for a long time been known to the neigh
boEhood, by the name OF CAVE HILL"
The article closes as follows: "lbis
cave is situated on the lands of Mr.. Isaac
Coaman and was first discovered and
partially explored in the following nng-
ular manner. A Mr Rufner who was
nearly as much celebrated for deeds Of
sylvan proowess as the renowned Pat
nam, in passing this cave some twenty
years ago, conceived the bold and hazard
GUS design of entering 1t alone and with
out a light. He accordingly placed his
rifle across the mouth, to denote to bis
friends if they should happen to see IT,
that lie was in the cave. He descended
aud as might have been expected, was
soon bswildered and lost in ITS labyrinth
of passages. 1t happened that some OF
his friends in passing the cave, discover
ed his gun, and rightly concluding that
he had gone into the cave, they pre-
cured lights and entered IN search of hin
and found AMI brought him out again,
after his having bsen IN three days. This
brave fellow was among the pionetr re
who were foremost in exploring aid
settling our western frontier; and was at
last killed by the indians, after having
performed deeds of valour and daring
prowess which would have done honor
| to the character Of hero.v

The death Of Frank R. Irwin. the we }
known, and popular druggist, a few
minutes after II o'clock on Tuesday
morning, was a shock to the large ma
jority of our people, who. although know
ing that he had been quite i'll for son Q
weeks had no idea that he was danger
ously sick.
His condition had decidedly improved
but a severe cold ontracted some days
before bic death resulted In an acute
attack Of pneumonia and congestion of
the brain hom which be was unable to
rally.
lie was q son OF the late DR.. J.
Irwin. and was engaged in the drug bust
ness here FOR many years. He ranked
among the best druggists of the State,
and during al the years he has been in
the business We have never heard of him
making a mistake.
Frank Irwin was known by almost
every msn, woman and child in this
place and throughout the surrounding
country, and was universally liked. His
kindness of heart, his genial nature and
his ever ready willingness to oblige wor
him the favor Of every one who knew
him, and bis early death at the age OF 81
years, months and days has caused
