SPRINGS AND CAVES.
Some Remarkable Works of Nature In
Central Pennsylvania.

Central Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania possesses number of re-
markable springs. The big spring of Belle
fonte, the Beautiful Font from which the
town derived its name, and which pours
forth $50, 900 gallons per minute. has had
it's story repeatedly told. But almost with
IN the limits of Bellefonte is another
spring, never mentioned, almost unknown
because of its rival in the borough, which
for purity and outpour is as large as the
one in the town A pure crystal stream
of water Q feet deep and 10 wide gushes
forth all the year round, and the tempera-
ture varies but 2 degrees, being that
much warmer in the winter than in the
summer Then there Is the spriDg at Axe
Mann, another very large one, but among
the marvellous springs in this section is
the famous Rock spring. There the water
gushes forth from cave in the rock fully
10 feet high and 90 feet wide, with clear
ness that rivals even the crystal No rain
has ever been severe enough to even make
the water of murky color. From out of
the depths of the cavernous rock come va
rious specimens of the finest fish, among
them being the delicious mountain trout,
and, though they can be seen coming out,
no one has ever been able to see single
fish swim into the cave. Whether they are
bred underground or where they come
from is a mystery that has never been
fathomed.
Another remarkable spring is in Hunt
ingdon county, near the old furnace Of
that name. There the cavern, which is the
outlet of the spring, is of such dimensions
that team of horses can be driven into 1t

SUICIDE OF A CLERGY MAN.
Left His Passionate Under Charges of Most
Remarkable Nature.

Boston, Septem Der 22.-Rev. james B.
Morrison. pastor of the Unitarian church
at Laconia. N. H.. committed suicide
by inhaling gas at the Revere house last
night.
Up to September 18th last. he had en-
joyed the implicit confidence of a large
circle of friends. On that day, charges
of heinous nature were preferred
against him, and because of these b. was
forced to leave the town. Last evening
he came to this oity and going to the
Revere house, was assigned to room
on the second floor.
Rev. Mr.. Morrison. has been d resident
of I.aconia. N. H., for five years, and
for the most part of that period was the
pastor of the Unitarian church of that
city. He moved in the best social circles
of the place, md he was an able preach
er. On Thursday of last week, young
man who was one of the many associ-
ates of the clergyman became involved in
serious trouble, and with his employer
went to the clergyman in order to pro-
cuIe pecuniary assistance. Before this
matter was settled, the father of the
young man learned of the matter, and
in connection Herewith he was also in
formed of the peculiar rotations which
were said to exist between the clergyman
and his son. The father at once took
steps which caused the clergyman to
leave the town suddenly last Thursday.
The story heard by the father was that
not only his son. but other young men
in Laoonin and in Lakeport had on sew
eral occasions received hush money from
Morrison and upon this story were based
charges of tine most heinous character
against the clergyman. Itais alleged that
these crimes have been going on for the
past threesyears, and that while the facts
were kown to some people in Laconia
they were not generally known. His
sudden departure from town undoubted-
ly saved him from rough usage at the
hands of citizens. Morrison was about
80 years of age, of gentlemanly appear
ance, clever conversationalist, and an
eloquent preacher. The residence of his
relatives is not known here, nor has thu
place Of interment been decided upon,
though it Ia thought the body will be
taken to Laoonin for interment. He left
about q dozen letters. Most of them
were sealed and bore stamps. These
were rot opened, and will be mailed to
the addresses.
