AN AGED CLIPPING.
Unique Description OF Decorah's Ice Cave
Forty.three Years Old Accidentally
Discovered.

During the holidays Mrs. Left But
ton attended a family reunion at Ma,
son City, and while looking over the
diary of her late father, Capt. o. H.
LYON of Rockford, accidentally dis.
covered the following very interest
ing clipping, probably from Du-
buque paper about our ice cave. The
clipping was marked 1866 and in.
serted among other things of that
date, so must have been clipped from
the paper at that time and placed in
his diary. 1t is as follows:
NATURAL ICE GAVE AT DE-
CORAH, IOWA.
In company with b. Frank Jones,
Esq, editor of the DEBORAH Republi-
can, | visited this great and singular
natural curiosity The mouth of the
cave is at the foot of high ledge of
limestone rock set in high bluff or
bank of the Upper Iowa river, north
of the town. The entrance to the
cave is from the side of the hill.
about forty feet above the level of
the river.
An opening about ten feet high and
some six or eight feet wide forms the
entrance, which descends into the rock
at an angle of about forty five degrees.
The extreme length of this cave has
never yet been explored, hut it has
been penetrated TO distance of three
hundred feet in various directions.
In the winter season this cave is
warm and dry. but in the summer.
fall and spring it is bitterly cold,
and the temperature of cold increases
70 an almost insupportable extent, as
it is penetrated to a longer distance.
In the warm season vast icicles are
formed i'll this cave by the continual
dripping from the top and sides, and
in sufficient quantities TO supply q
large city. At any time in the
spring. summer and fall any one with
little labor could cut down several
tons of the purest crystal ice in day,
and just as soon almost as il is taken
out it is replaced by fresh ice. At a
party held on the side of the hill by
the DEBORAH people on the Fourth of
July last, over eighty barrels of fine,
solid ice were taken out and scarcely
anv impression was made on the
quantity in the cave.
The most singular feature of the
cave is that the hotter the weather
becomes outside the more intensely
cold the atmosphere becomes in the
cave. Persons going into the cave in
the warm season are obliged to put
on the heaviest clothing. aud even
then become badly chilled.
Can any philosopher of Dubuque or
other cities explain this great phe-
nomena of nature? If so, let us hear
their explanations.
DEBORAH will at least have the
luxury of plenty of fine ice without
any trouble on their part TO lay it in.

Is II Punishable Discrimination?

The Waterloo papers have been sued
by the Iowa Clothing Co., for refus-
ing to take the advertisements of said
company. The refusal was at the re-
quest of the home merchants of Water
loo. The Iowa Clothing Co saws it
is discrimination and it proposes to
space in a paper is public commodity
or not. In case the suit should be
favorable to the company, damages
will be rendered against the papers in
a large amount for the loss of business
on account of being unable to make
their business public.

"REGGIEs" FIRST DEFEAT.
Succumb to Nit. Carmel Nine-Joyce
 of Dublins Twtrls Strong.

The Reglno ball team travelled to Mt Carmel yesterday and suffered de- feat for the first time this season The Mt Carmels hearing that the Reggies defeated the Howe & Stetson and Malley's teams imported a pitcher from the Dublins of Meriden by the name of Joyce, who pitched a strong game, striking out eleven men, but was weak at the bat, the crowd of 500 expecting him to do the Swat Milligan feat the three times he came to the bat. Instead of doing what was ex- pected he did the Casey act twice and put up pop-1y to Tone, the pitcher. Tone pitched a fine game for the Reg gies striking out seven and making a two base hit.
 Umpire Neary was very sore on the Reggies, calling strikes on them above their heads The game was fast one, taking only hour and minutes to play,

A screen was removed from pantry window md in entering the house the person or per sons removed some cakes which were placed in the window.
