An Ohio Cavern That Rivals That of Kentucky In WonJerful Features. A rival to tho arvat Moiiiinutli Cavo has at last been discovered. Henry (irionrilc, living on Liino stone ridec, over tho lino in "Wy andot county, was plowing, when one of his horses broko through tho earth into a deep hole. It was rescued from its position with (rent dilliculty. I'poil examining tlio spot Ciricndle found n large holo leading porpondiculnrly down into tho earth. Hu dropped 'in n htono and heard it riiinblo ami nit tlo in its downward courso till the sound died away in tho distance. . Sensational reports of this dis covery reached this city, nud an exploring party was mado up and drovo over to tho ridgo to ascer tain what was nt the bottom of the story nnd tlio hole. Tho party consisted of half it dozen well known gentlemen who wero pro vided with ropes, lights, fireworks, etc., to make n thorough explora tion. Having fixed everything in leadiness for the descent, tho ques tion arose as to who should first lo down. Jlio men looked into tlio dark, mysterious hole, mental ly made it calculation as to the probability of finding n nest of rattle snakes at the bottom, nud each one was perfectly satisfied to lot several of the others go first. Finally ono of tho party sum moned up courage and volunteer ed to imiko the descent alone. As bo was lowered down, down, tho light of his lantern could be seen growing fainter and smaller until n tiny speck wns visible. After letting out the rope about 100 feet u faint, mufllcd whisper an nounced that ho had found folid bottom. The reporter wont down next, and finally tho whole party found itsels at the boatom of the shaft. The hole desconded through limestono rock, all tho way down, nnd varies in dinmeter from three to thirty feet. The bottom is dry lock, nnd the place proved to he a capacious cavern. Tlio place whore the lauding was made wan estima ted to be sixty feet in width, nnd and wile the ceiling nt that point was low it gradually roso like a dome to the height of fully fifty feet. Tho floor wus very uneven. The party had not gone a quarter of a mile when they wero sudden ly confronted by a yawning chasm ten feet in width and of unknown depth. Beyond this impassable cleft they could sco the roof glit tering in the light of the lanterns. Several Koiunn candles were fir ed into the space, but tlto side wulla could not be seen, so there is no telling how far the cave extends I .1 . V. . . rm l. t in tuni Direction. mo iuowoi-ks ruvealcd numerous stnlditcs and stalagmites of beautiful formation, whose innrblo like whiteness glis tened and shone resplendent it. tho vnri-colored lights. The roof sparkled with a frost like incrusta tion, which reflected tho light from a myriad of shining points as though the whole dome were set in diamonds. Retracing their stops for some distance, the party found to the right a small opening at tho top of the steep nwrnit, and entering it. were obliged to crawl on hands mid knees for a distance of ten yards. Then the cavern suddenly opened into auothur manmotli chamber, apparently much larger than J lie first one nud possessing more stalactite formations. At u great distnnce from the ontraneo they came upon n lako of pure, cold wnter, as clear as crystal nud of fathomable depth. Holding the light in the water, a hhiuing penny was dropped in and its gradual descent watched until it had fallen apparently fifty feet, when nil trace of it was lost. The water of the lake was per fectly still and dead, thero being no current, and no signs of fish or auiinnl life were visible. . A few shells were picked upon the shores of the hike, and being again shut oir from further advance the party retraced their steps. Oponiugs were seen in other directions, us though tho cavern extended its wings still further, hut the fear of losing their way nnd of tho oil in the lanterns giving out, prevented further explorntions. It is pro- poM-d nt some time in the near fu ture to make further examination, going provided with bonts, ladders, planks, etc., that tho lnkr nnd chasms may not stop tlio way. Kiulay (i).) Cor.

The fashion of men locking their own arm behind a woman's elbow nnd clutching fast to her forearm is not peculiar to America. An En glish woman writes to a London journal: "Man Is rapidly ceasing to to bo the gallant defender of our sex. Once upon n time wo looked up to 1dm and rested upon his arm. Now, alasl the tables are turned. In the present day he idly takes our arm, while we are obliged to take his part and our own as well.'' Elniini, N. Y., 'has n iieculinr case of love ami marriage between a school principal and one of her former pupils. Miss Hannah Rhodes was forty-live yearH old when she approached the matrimo nial alter. She had been a teacher in the public schools of that citv before her husband, Thoinas l Connelly, was born. He is about t.uenty-two years old, and when a youngster he not infrequently felt the effects of vigorous punishment at the hands of his present spouse. Adam Sell, u farmer of .Schuy ler county, 111., is the possoeBor of n curiosity in the way of a newly born call of marvelous form and figure. Thu animal is only half an ordinary size, and its hide is entirely destitute of hair, the skin being of pink color and smooth as the back of a Mexican dog. In stead of havirg hoofs like other animals of 'its kind, its feet are formed of live distinct toes that have claws at the end like those of a cat. The creature's ears are ex ceedingly small- in fact hardly visible. The face resembles that of it monkey, and from the lower jaw projects two fangs. The aui innl is extremely intelligent, and follows its owner about the lot, and gives every evidence of affec tion. Unable to bawl like an or dinary calf, vet it is able to make n noibo like tliat of a dumb person endeavoring to speak. Some peo ple who have examined the queer freak feel confident that in time it will bo able to talk at lcast'as well as a parrot. Air.
