In the main east ern one a dwarf Assure communicates with the upper crust, or terra firma, through which a tiny stream Of light issues, which only serves to make the intense darkness greater source ot apprehension. The large cave leads to another, known as 'The Blow Hole, the mysteries of which have never been penetrated. The entrance is by crev- ice equal in size to the outer opening to the caves, but on throwing stone in some seconds eapse before it is heard to strike the bottom, sufficient ad- monition to even the most venturesome of the abyss within, to explore which would be literally walking into the jaws of death. Those most familiar with the caves express an opinion that if the Blow Hole were properly eX- plored another series of subterranean passages or chambers would be discov- cred At present the caves are seldom visited, their existence being known to comparatively few outside the locality in which they are situated

AUSTRALIAN IRON.

The successful establishment of the iron manufacturing industry in their midst has long been the cherished de- sire of the people of New South Wales, and it's realization in the near future constitutes one of the possibilities of Australian federation Although the state abounds with extensive deposits of iron ore, frequently of great richness, the use of the metal was unknown to the aboriginals, who were content with tools and implements fashioned from. wood or stone. The existence of iron ores of various kinds was known in the early days of the state, but nothing was done for many years in the way of utilizing them. Subsequently a blast furnace was constructed near Mitta- gong, sixty miles south of Sydney, and another at LiLhgow, in the Blue Moun- tain district. The former has been idle for over twenty years, but the latter is still in active operation, a Siemens steel furnace having recently been added, in Whidh steel was produced for the first time in Australia. The works also in- clude a modern sheet mill, a galvani- sing plant, and machinery for the man. ufacture of railway spikes. The ores employed are red siliceous, averaging twenty-twO per cent. and brown hema- tite, yielding fifty per cent of metallic iron. The metal is, says MT. Coglan. widely diffused throughout the state. and occurs principally in the form of magnetic, brown hematite or goethite, limonite and bog-iron. Deposits of

AT THE SOLDIERS HOME.

Governor Mclean and Members of Hos
 pltal Board Investigate Charges.
 Some time ago Michael McMahon, an inmate of the Soldiers Home at Noro- ton, made charges to Governor Mclean to the effect that Superintendent James N. Coe of the institution had been derelict in his duty and had also fur nished to the old soldiers hats of an inferior quality. The governor and the members of the Soldiers Hospital board went to Noroton on Saturday and investigated the charges made by McMahon. Several witnesses were ex- amined and the board will soon make known its decision in the matter.
 The evidence given before the gov- ernor and the board on behalf of the su- perintendent went to show that there had been no abuse of his position and that he had not been derelict in his duty. Superintendent Coe is still in charge at the home and the report of the board on the result of the visit is expected in a short time.

SOME CURIOUS AUSTRALIAN
CAVES.

Among the numerous minor cave sys- tems found in New South Wales, none are more remarkable than those situa- ted at Oakley Creek, in the heart of q country rich in mineral wealth, gold, silver and tin being frequently found also diamonds and other gem stones. All the streams in the neighbodhoor are more or less auriferous, and some of the oldest and richest eold-feld in the state are to be found within radius of a few miles The caves are situated about a couple of miles from Cudge- gong, a small but thriving rural village, surrounded by well-cutivated farms. The mineral richness of the district is provelbial the whole of the country to the west being an immense gold field of which Hargraves, Windeyer and Tambaroora are the leading centres; while southward are Solala, Hill End Ophir and other well-known gold min ing localities. Between Cudgegong and Rylstone are some valuable cinnabar deposits. Copper antimony and sul- phur ores have been found al Oakley Creek. and large quantities of alum at Bocoble Creek, so called from Mount Bocoble a remarkably shaped peak, forming one of the principal landmarks in the district. The Cudgegong river, on which the townhip is situated is an auriferous stream. rising in Mount Benben a peak of the Australian Alps, the country through which 1t flows be- ing highly picturesque in places The entrance to the caves is situated in sequestered nook, and might be un- suspectingly passed by any one not aware of its real character. How 1t was discovered has never been ex- plained, but the first explorer must have been possessed of considerable nerve, for the opening is very small, only large enough to enable q mode rately-sized person to crawl through. and when the visitor has safely accom- plished this feat, he finds himself en- circled in Cimmerian darkness But di- rectly a candle is lighted a wonderful transformation takes place, and most enchanting scene, formed by multitudes of dainty, tastically-shaped stalaC- tites and stalagmites becomes revealed to view. The floor is one vast deposit
 
 roofs and sides of the calcareous cavity the same mineral hangs pendent in strange conglomerate shapes. that are artistic and sometimes gro tesque. The visitor, unless forewarned, has not time enough to take in the beauties of these natural curiosities be- fore he experiences revulsion of hor- TOT at what is likely to make his flesh creep and his hair stand on end with apprehension of peril. No sooner does the light dispell the darkness than he is made aware of the presence of scores Of bats, whose whirring flight is likely to make the unsophisticated conjure up ideas of hob-goblins and other deni zens of spirit-land.

A BoER PATRIOT IN GEORGIA.

Louis Wohlman reached Albany only a day or two ago, coming to this place from New York, where he landed on q steamship from the Old World. Mr.
 Wohlman was born and raised in the Transvaal and speaks English with a strong Dutch accent, He is an intelli- gent man, and talks entertainingly of South Africa and the BOer war When the war broke out more than three yeare ago MT. Wohman was a prosper ous farmer in one of the most fertile re- gions of the Transvaal. He owned large tract of land several thousand sheep and other property, besides hay
 ing several thousand pounds to his credit in bank He was among the first to join the Boer army in the field, and for 13 months participated in the stir ring campaigns in which the Boers won the admiration of the world by their valorous struggle against overwhelming numbers. He was finally captured and sent to Cape Town At the latter place he was kept in prison for six months and was finally released after taking an oath not to again bear arms aga inst the British Empire. Having come to America MT. Wohlman finds himself with but a few dollars, the remnant of his little fortune. He left wife and two children in South Africa, and tears came into his eyes when he speaks of them. He longs to be able to get to work, so as to earn money with which to bring them to this side, for now they are in British detention camp with

JULIETTE WEED BENTON.

East Morris, Jan. 4.-Mrs Horatio
 Benton, who died at Dr, Champion
 Deming's in Westchester, N. Y, De-
 oember 23, was born in the South Farms
 district of Litchfeld. Mrs. Benton was
 the granddaughter of Ezra Weed, who
 for several years served in the war of
 the revolution and later died in South
 Farms and is buried in the little ceme-
 tery here. Her father, John D. Weed, was the tavern keeper in the house now occupied by the Johnson family. In this home Mrs. Benton went out bride to the old Benton homestead where all her married life was spent and which now bears the name of the South Farms inn. In her young life she unit ed with the church here, from whose books her name was never erased al though she went for years to the Epis- copal church in Litchfield. Many years since, their daughter Julia, who was the wife of Arthur Catlin, pass d away. She has three daughters living, Mrs. Will fam Deming of Westchester, N. Y, Mrs. of New York, and Mrs, Miller of Waterbury. Her girlhood home here was broken up many years ago by her Weed friends all going to N. Y. She had passed far beyond the allotted time of one's days The husband and wife passed their fftieth milestone, when friends met and greeted them upon their golden an- niversary, and still again at their six tieth anniversary friends met to con- gratulate them, and though separated for a time they are not united. Mrs. Benton was brought to Litchfield to the church, through the aisles of which she had so often passed. and laid by the husband whom she so sincerely mourn ad, in the East cemetery.
