Mr.. Tyson, an aged colored man,
whose home was about two miles west
of Oberlin, was killed on the railroad
track, on last Friday morning. Mr..
Tyson was coming to town on bust
ness, and took the railroad track for
his route. The cowcatcher of the ex-
press train coming from the West
struck him and threw him from the
track, and it is supposed he was in
stantly killed. His body was found
about half an hour after the accident
by some person coming to town. Mr..
Tyson was deaf and could not hear
the rumbling of the approaching
train. The engineer of the train says
that he did not see any one on the
track, and did not know of the acci-

Brown, a colored barber of Elyria,

get to the caboose he fell from the car

In these days of uncongenial unions
times when apparently there is no
confidence to be placed in the most
honored and respected. of our commu-
nity-we may give credence to most
any report but we doubt if the fol-
lowing, which was told us last evening
by a reliable party, can be outdone in
the line Of matrimonial deception.


1t appears that one of our much re.
spected fashionable ladies' fell in love
with an exceedingly beautiful wrought
sash, and endeavore,l to persuade the
cierk-to sell it to her for five dollars.
He refused, saying that he had denied
it to her husband for that sum-that
the labor expended, and the silk used
IN making it, cost ten dollars, and she
could have it for that amount. The
unsuspecting lady, with true womanIy
confidence in her husband, and with :
out a doubt that it was intended for
herself, paid the clerk five dollars, and
told him to say to her husband that he
could have the sash at the price he had
offered. The clerk did as directed,
but no sash did the lady receive. AZ
ter waiting patiently for several days,
she sought the clerk. fer an explana:
tion.' That individual, affirmed that
her husband had taken it. The lady
went home, and, keeping the matter
to herself, watched the course of events,
and in few days afterward saw a fair
frail one walking the street sporting
the identical sash. 1t is quite safe to
conclude that peace on earth and good
will to men wern't7 triumphant in that
house about that time, and that the
lady has lost her love for beautiful
sashes.-POrtla',d No. Regulator.

The MAMMOTH CAvE-Walking a little


distance from the hotel we came to the


mouth of the world-renowned cave. The


opening Is not very mammoth, being not


more than twenty-five feet square. and in


the summer Is constantly dripping with


moisture, owing to the condensation caused


by the meeting of the cool current from
the cave with the warmer air outside. The


entrance narrows into an alley, across


which there Is a wooden partition. Here


each of the party received a swinging


lamp, which kept going out to the merri-


ment of all. but the torchlight procession


was finally formed and we followed young


negro guide into pitchy darkness. The


first thing pointed out to Us were the pits


made by the miners who dug saltpetre


here during the war of 1872. Advancing
along the alley, which gradually widens,
we reached an immense cavern, which Is the
main cave. 1t was indeed mammoth" its
size and grandeur family outlined by the
glare of our lights, impressing more and
more the longer we remained in it. Here
Is to be seen the Giants Coffin, huge rock
forty feet long, and from its shape and size

the bottomless pit was soon reached, and ex-
cited our wonder as we stood on the bridge
of sighs by It's edge, and watched 4 torch
fall to the frightful depth of one hundred
and seventy five feet. Above it is lofty
dome. The star-chamber interested me
more than anything else, which you must
imagine as q long narrow cavern. As We
entered it, the ceiling presented SO exactly
the appearance of the sky on clear star
lit night, that [ found it difficult to be-
lieve it was only the effect produced by the
light of the lamps on the crystalline gyp-
sum. Presently our guide extinguished
the lights and told Us to be seated while he
went to the other side Of the chamber, his
own torch still revealing the starry hosts,
He soon called out that 1t looked Ike rain
and that we had better get our umbrellas
out, when to our astonishment, a black
thunder cloud rolled across the sky, but
moved back again without drenching Us.
The guide then disappeared with his torch,
leaving US in utter darkness "a darkness
that could be felt and when ne reappear-
cd, his white teeth cleaning in the light of
his lamp looked as much like the rising sun
as anything in the oppressive gloom. We
soon completed our route having walked
nine miles in four hours and our first SEN
sation on breathing the outer air once more
was one of prostration from heat, the

you train them. Indeed, so much will they
do of themselves to render room charming,


that we would rather have an unlimited

E12. When a storm commences in the
United States, the line of minimum pres
sure does not come from the ''far west, but
commences with the storm, and travels with
it toward the eastward


I3. There Is generally lull of wind at
the line Of minimum pressure, and some
times a calm.


II. When the line of minimum press
ure passes an observer toward the east.
the wind generally soon changes to the
west. and the barometer begins to rise.


10. There IS generally but little wind
near the line of maximum pressure, and
on each side of that line the winds are ir-
regular but tend outward from that line.


10. The fluctuations of the barometer
are generally greater in the northern than
in the southern parts of the United States.


IT. The fluctuations of the barometer
are generally greater in the eastern than
in the western part of the United States.


Is. In the northern parts of the United
States, the wind, generally in great storms,
seas In from the north of east and termin-
ates from the north of west


19. In the southern parts of the United
States the wind generally sets in from the
south of east and terminates from the south
of west.


20. During the passage of storms the
wind generally changes from the eastward
to the westward by south, especially in the
southern parts of the United States.


u. The northern part of the stormgen-
orally travels more rapidly toward the east
than the southern part.


% During the high barometer on the
day preceding the storm, It Is generally
clear and mild in temperature, especially if
very cold weather preceded it.


% The temperature generally falls
suddenly on the passage Of the center of
great storms, so that sometimes when
storm is in the middle of the United States,
the lowest temperature of the month will
be in the West on the same day that the
highest temperature is in the East.


Some of the storms, it is true, are con-
tained entirely, for a time, within the
bounds of my observers, and in that case
the minimum barometer does not exhibit
itself in a line of great length, extending
from north to south, but it Is confined to a
region near the center of the storm, and
travels with that center towards the east
ward


From these experiments it may safely
be inferred, contrary to the general belief
of scientific men, that vapor permeates the
air from a high to a low point with ex-
treme slowness, if, indeed, it permeates it
at all; and in meteorology, it will here
after be known that vapor rises into the
regions where clouds are formed only by
being carried up by ascending currents of
air concerning it.-Scie7ltifc american.
