A CURIOUS CAVE FOUND.
—
Belleved to Have Been Occupied by Ine
dians Two Centuries Ago.
Quite a curiosity was discovered on
a farm in Patton township, this coun-
ty, the other day while laborers were
clearing away rubbish on the side of a
hill to get a field ready for plowing.
It was the entrance to a cave,
This cave is a great curiosity in
many ways. There was a small open-
ing which had become filled up with
rubbish and dirt, which, after having
been cleared out, was seen to be over
three feet square, so that a person
could crawl in on his hands and knees.
The passage was about twenty feet
long and opened into a large room
about twenty feet square and nine feet
high, having the appearance of having
been cut by human hands. This must
have been a good while ago, as there
was quite a lot of the most beautiful
stalactite and stalagmite formations of
a calcareous nature.
In several places in the floor there
were large crevices, down which you
could see and hear water running.
From off this cavern room there runs
a passage, through which you have to
crawl for quite a distance, but which
has not been thoroughly explored as
yet, although it is thought that quite
a lot of caverns will be found when
the cave is thoroughly explored.
The reason the cave is thought to
have been cut out and these forma-
tions believed to have grown since in
this limestone country, where they
grow rapidly, is the evidences of hewn
niches and rough-cut pictures and hi
eroglyphics. On the floor there wer
many instruments of stone and burnt
clay that were in very good condition.
I'hey looked like Indian articles and
the place had evidently been an In-
dian habitation some two hundred
years ago. The owner expects to de
velop the cave in the near future to
find out whether the passageway leads
to more discoveries of asimilar nature,
the limestone growth having nearly
closed it up.

Lemont Evangelical Charch,
The REPORTER learns from an infor
mant that the Lemont Evangelica
church by virtue of certain stipula-
tions which have not been adhered to
is likely to be forfeited by the Esher
wing. It appears that Mr. John I
Thompson, of Lemont, donated the
ground, ete, to the Evangel. Church
Association, =o long as the Association
worships in said church, and in case ot
a failure to do so, the property is to re
vert to Mr. Thompson. There having
been no wosship held in this chureh
under the Ev. As, for quite a period of
time, Mr. Thompson now claims, with
some plausibility, that the property re
verts to him and that the Esher peo
ple have forfeited their title.
Mr. Thompson is a staunch Preshy
terian, and if his position ean be legal
ly maintained, he will turn the prop
erty over to the Unit. Ev. Ch., with
which he sympathises in its troubles,
and because all, or nearly all, the Ev
angelical people at Lemont, are in ac-
cord with Bishop Dubs.

A party of hunters, ten in number,
from Woodward, drove thro here »
few days ago, bound for the “Green

weeks’ deer hunt ; the distance is some
70 miles, and they expected to reach
their destination in a two days’ drive,
We hope they will average at least one

in. We are inclined to think that
game has been thinned out as muel
in Clearfield county as in the once fa-

ALONG DRIVE,
Edwin Gephort and Family Drove from
Kunsas to Bellefonte,
About ten years ago Edwin Gephart,
son of J, P. Gephart, of Zion, left Cen-
tre county to locate in the west. After
traveling around for some time he set-
tled down in Elk county, Kansas,
Since that time he had not been home
but in September last he concluded to
visit his friends in Centre county and
bring his family, consisting of a wife
and four children with him. On the
9th of September he put his conclu-
sions into practice by hitching two
mules into a large spring wagon to
make the journey of over fourteen hun-
dred miles. He fitted the wagon up
They then made the start coming by
the way of Fort Beott, Kansas, Ceda-
lia and Hanibal, Mo., Bpringfield,
Ind., Columbus, Ohio, Pittsburg and
Altoona, Pa. They passed through
Bellefonte on last Sabbath morning
and went through to Mr. Gephart's
old home at Zion.
They were on the road about forty-
seven days and they only slept out of
the wagon one night which was disa-
greeablee. When night would over-
take them they would stop, eat their
supper and go to bed. The family
kept well and greatly enjoyed the trip.
They passed over high towering moun-
tains, deep chasms and by fertile
fields. The trip cost about $35.50.—

a Tyroner, Eads His
Life With Landanum,
Bamuel Williams, a young man em-
ployed in the drug store of B, Bmith
& Co., at Tyrone, died last Friday
morning from the effects of a dose of
laudanum taken the night previous.
When it was discovered he had taken
the laudanum two doctors were
promptly summoned and they remain-
ed with him and worked ardently all
night to save his life, but to no pur-
pose. He was aged about twenty-one
years and we learn was the young man
who got into trouble some time ago
when a clerk in the Tyrone postoffice,
by opening letters.

Wednesday evening after the elec-
tion while we were spending an hour
with Gen. Hastings in his sitting
room, the tooting of approaching tin
horns was notice that a juvenile band
was coming, and soon the youngsters
ascended the long flight of stone steps
and landed upon the porch and right
up to the sitting room window and let
out a few tinhorn blasts, The govern-
or-elect went out, told the boys he was
glad to see them and if they came
around in the morning he would have
something for them. Here the leader
spoke up and asked the General if the
tooting disturbed him. “Oh no,” he
replied, “I like to hear it, but it might
waken the baby.” The boy In a sub-
dued tone then addressed his eompan-
ions : “Boys, let's go, we might waken
the baby.” And they withdrew with
the quietness of a mousing pussy.

the recent Republican victory—his joy

On Tuesday one of the suspected fel-

all its principal ticket offices excursion
tickets to all the prominent winter re-
sorts. This territory includes the re
sorts of New Jersey, Virginia, North

A Curious Election Bet,
A bet of $100 to one cent was made
between two residents of Binghamton,
N. Y., that Morton would defeat Hill,
with this additional proviso: That for
every vote that Morton received in ex-
cess of Hill the Democrat should pay
one cent to the Republican. As Mor-
ton’s plurality is now over 150,000 the
Democrat stands to over $1500,
The winner insists upon the full con-
ditions of the wager.
