they forget it again and again, and
then say, "Well, it's a small matter,
ONLY a dollar or two, and they can
wait, not realizing that one hun
dred men owing us 81 or 81 each
makes us short 800 or 5000 and tends
to emharras us. Then we must take

WALLlNGFORO'S ICE GAVE.
a Natural Curiosity Now Little Known
Throughout the state.

A Natural Curiosity Now Little Known
Throughout the state.
Although the fact is known to but a
few of the residents of the county, yet
there is one place, not over a dozen miles
from Rutland, where the suns rays and
heat have not penetrated and where it has
been possible to obtain naturally formed
ice all through the hot days of July and
August. That place is what is known
among few of the old residents of the
county as the East Wallingford ice
cave"
Very little has ,been heard of this
natural curiosity for a number of years,
and the fact of its existence is not now
generally known, the reason for this
being its almost inaccessible location.
For miles up and down the Otter valley
can be seen a place almost at the peak
of the mountain east of Wallingford,
where apparently large amount of rock
has fallen away and rolled down the
nearly perpendicular side of the noun
tain.
1t is where these rocks have fallen and
lain for many years, centuries perhaps,
that the ice cave has been formed. The
rocks are most of them huge boulders,
some being over dozen feet in diameter,
and the heap extends from the base of
the mountain fully one hundred feet up
its sides. The boulders are of such shape
and they fell in such manner that
between them considerable room is left,
and it is this space which has come to be
known as the ice cave.
1t is in reality a succession of little
caves. In some places there is plenty OF
room for one to stanG upright while in
others it is necessary to crawl on hands
and knees. To the innermost reeesses of
the heap of boulders the suns light and
heat cannot reach, and the temperature
there never is known to rise above the
freezing point The other day the mer-
curry registered IS degrees in the cave
the thermometer not coming into contact
with the rocks. Above the rocks, on the
side of the mountain, is little bubbling
spring, the water from which trickles
down among the boulders into the cave
at the bottom, where 1t forms~a pool.
The part of the cave where the water
thus collects is coated with ice and the
pool itself is always partly frozen over.
Chunks of ice were broken of the other
day weighing nearly 10 pounds. The
water from this cave forms a little brook,
and glassful taken at point short
disdistance from the rocks is as cold as
water can be made with ice.
The place might be very popular re-
sort were it not for two reasons, the fact
that it is so hard to reach and for the
presence of myriads of mosquitoes. A
horse can be driven to a point about one
eight of mile from the cave, but there
the journey must be completed on foot
through dense growth of bushes and
trees. A road evidently was cut to the
place many years ago, but this is now al
most entirely obliterated by the growth
of underbrush.
In the vicinity of the boulders mos
qutoes are as thick as they are in Jersey.
A party attempted to eat lunch near the
cave, but the insects attacked them in
swarms and they were glad to retreat in
good order.

About two years ago S. c. Otis of
West Burke sold his 5-year-old bay geld
ing "Davelda," by Abdalah Wilkes,
Highland Stock Farm. Derby, to George
Haslett of Newport for 5000. Later the
horse was sold to Frank Richard of Rich
ford, who in April received, it is said
$40 for him from a New York man
named Lehman Strauss. who recently
sold the horse TO Frank j. Gould for
$4,000, the highest price ever paid for a
horse raised in Vermont. The August
number of The Horseman, published at
Chicago and New York, in giving an
account Of the Monmouth County IN. J. }
Horse show, held at Long Branch, says
that "Davelda' won the first prize for
harness horses not exceeding l5.l hands
high, while the August number of Turf,
Field and Farm, also published at New
York, says that Frank j. Gould's BUR
lingham' was the best high stopper over
l5.l hands high, class 80, at the Long

brother ("Bates") of "Davelda," and the
mother, as well as several half brothers
and half sisters, he does rot so much re-
greet the small sum which he received for
