THE GLOBE.
Huntingdon, Wednesday, March 18, 1857.
tiaitIitESPONDiENCE OF THE GLOBE.
HARRISBURG, March 16,1857.
DEAR, GLOBE : There has been a relapse
of weather, several times within a few days.
On Saturday 'morning, " emerging from a
sea of dreams," folks opened their eyes (ex
cept -at the blind institution,) upon streets
and city roofs mantled with snow. Over
head was an unbroken arch of clouds. Yet
the afternoon of the same day was lovely as
'a seraph's (or baby's) smile. The atmos
phere was bland and spring like ; and along
the glittering sweep of Susquehanna, and
tar over the vales of Dauphin, the sky spread
in sublime beauty, stained with no fleece of
- vapor in all its vast concave. The "ebon
larch" that night, was full of stars of almost
tropical brilliance. And Sabbath morning
rose clear and fresh: but after another geni
al day,-the sun went to his couch amid the
tears of changeful March. This morning
;there is a breezy call in- the air, and the
soughing of the winds
"Foretell the coming in of storms."
t is a day to meditate among the tombs ;
-and, before breakfast, in a stroll along the
river -side, I came to, the grave of Harris ; a
pleasant spot; the same we see in the picture
of his re-capture, where the meek old man
stands lashed to a large mulberry tree, await
ing the death torch and final agony, when a
friendly - tribe of Indians hasten across the
river in their canoes, and with a yell of tri
umph, rescue him from the hands of his sav
age judges. Above the roots of that tree,
within an iron enclosure, is the funeral
mound of the ancient pioneer. GOD rest his
soul, with all the brave fathers of our Com
monwealth! Some fifteen feet of the trunk
of the old mulberry still stand, firm and un
decayed as when it withstood the blasts of
two hundred years ago. That part of the
bark facing the west is chipped off, indica
ting the place where the victiin was secured
to meet the death doom.
Apropos of this, it is in dispute among
certain wise-acres, as to whether the scene
deSeribed ever occurred in the bcrier life of
Harris. Some say it happened to Somebody
else ; and others to nobody. Among reason
able people, there can be little dispute as to
the credibility of the story. It rests upon
better evidence, anyhow, than. the burning
of Moscow and -the existence of the Mael
strom. For my part, I have a disposition to
cling to even the historical and ge graphical
fables of our childhood time. I would not
deprive the boy of another generation of the
deep emotion that wells up in' the young
heart, as the imagination paints Napleon's
army sternly going forth from the smoking
Kremlin into the 'snowy wilderness. Nor
would I still the wild throbbings of the
pulsa, as the little student, hereafter, shall
dream of loaded ships, with all t'icir scream
ing vetims, eddying down into the terrific
suck of Norway. True, I never saw a mael
strom. Perhaps no one else did. Yet it is
good to believe in it. In the main, Igo for
discountenancing the attempts of your dread
fully matter-of-fact fellows, to strip the gold
en olden times of the drapery of bright ro
mance. There is too little of it now-a-days
—scarce enough of poetry is infused into our
readings, conversation and studies, to keep
our children from growing mentally, slab
sided.
My professional duties lead me betimes to
the indoor life of Capitol Hill—the Executive
Chamber, the rooms of Secretary Curtin, the
State Library and the genial society of that
excellent Democrat, Dr. DeVitt. And occa
sionally, for relaxation, I listen to the frag
ment of e, speech in the Senate Hall, or take
a seat beside some quondam schoolmate in
the House of Representatives. The "congre
gated wisdom of the commonwealth" is made
up of as fine-looking men as could well be
'collected together—gentlemanly and gener
ous in their social intercourse—Pennsylva
nia can well afford to be proud of such sons,
whose appearance lead us to question the
gray-beard grumblings about ours being a
degenerate race.
I see by your ever interesting journal, that
latterly, you have Condescended to notice the
dog-chub of Altoona. It is not worth the
powder. I never read that sheet myself,
and scarce any one else does.
Consider my beaver as being raised in ac
knowledgment of your friendly mention of
the Pennsylvania Magazine. All my efforts
are .directed that way now. Those of your
readers - who feel the need and good of a pub
, ication of this character, will be pleased to
learn that we have articles on file from the
polished: pen of DAVID PAUL BROWN, •from
THADDEUS STEVENS, Judge BLACK, Senator
"BIGLER, .A. W. BENEDICT, and other distin
guished sons of our commonwealth. In due
time; we shall be favored with letters from
absent Pennsylvanians-- , --a gentleman 'travel
.ing in. South America s another in Nicaragua,
ALLEN in California, JERRY WILSON in
Italy, a missionary friend in Palestine; and
BAYAttri TAyLott in Siberia: Excuse this
mention of my pet enterprise. In writing
for the Globe, I feel myself in the presence
of old familiar fiiends; and being well as
sured of their sympathy, am encouraged to
report progress.
Politics in Harrisburg, at this date, do not
seem to give, any one much uneasiness. The
re-election - of HARRY 14.1AortA1r as Treasurer,
was, got 'through ^ with pleasantly, in a few
mirmhas.l.- There was some dissatisfactum
among the adherents of JACOB Dock, caused
by the absence of several members from their
seats; but they should be pardoned for remis
ness, on the score that their caucus nominee
was not only personally objectionable, but
the manner of his nomination reprehensible.
Doubtless, the coalition-opposition are des
tined- to put on record many similar cases of
absence at the popular election next fall.—
Who their candidate shall be, is " past con
jecture"—probably some obscure individual
who can be played off to suit, with a dark
lantern in some districts, and a wig of wool
in others. Verily, the combination of such
parties as the Know Nothing and Republican,
is a practical illustration of the " contact of
extremes." Yours ttuly,
HARRISBURG, March 13, 1857.
Mr. LEWIS: As you gave my last a place
in your Banner of Democracy; and having
some leisure time, I will write you another
short epistle which you may insert in your
paper or the stove, whichever you please.
Nothing of much importance having taken
place this week to write about, I will, after
giving you an item or two of news, proceed
to describe some of the buildings and places
near here, and give some of their past his :
tory, which may be interesting to those of
your readers who have never visited the capi
tal. John B. Gough, who I stated in my
last would lecture on temperance here this
week, has
,taken sick in Ohio, and conse
quently did not come. The Senate and
House of Representatives elected Henry S.
Magraw, State Treasurer on Wednesday.—
The American and Republican convention
will meet. on the 25th of March. It will be
a conglomeration of the isms opposed to De
mocracy. Wilmot will most likely be their
candidate for Governor. If he is nominated,
Packer will no doubt be elected by a majori
ty of twenty-five thousand. The weather
this week seems to be a contest between win
ter and spring. Some of the mornings are
as pleasant and sunny as May, and others
cold and stormy.
The town of Harrisburg was laid out in
the. year 1785; by Win. Maclay, son-in-law of
John Harris. It has ever since been a place
of much importance, being centrally located
—the general depot of the valleys of Juniata,
Susquehanna and Cumberland. The first
minister here, I believe, was Mr. Elder.
On one occasion several Indians came . down
the river and hid themselves in ambush, in-.
tending to surprise and murder the .inhabi
tants while at worship in Paxton church.—
They came on Monday, and after waiting
several days, they came to the conclusion
that the congregation would not assemble,
and went away: The congregation ever af
terwards came to the church armed; and
Mr. Elder, the pastor, always carried his
gun into the pulpit. He was Colonel of the
Paxton Rangers, whose duty it was to keep
a look out for the Indians. The late Judge
Bucher's father, who was a clergyman in
Lebanon, was also a Colonel in the same
kind of service. The Court House is a large
brick edifice, which was erected in 1794. It
was occupied for several years by the State
Legislature. When the Judges of the Su
preme Court came to Harrisburg to hold a
court, sometimes one or two hundred people
would go out on horse-back to escort them
into town. The Chief Justice sat with his
hat on while on the Bench, and was dressed
in a scarlet gown. The county jail is a
splendid affair of its kind, and provided with
solitary cells. It is built in Gothic style—
was finished in 1841, costing 'upwards of
$40,000. The State House is on an elevated
spot. It is a large and splendid building,
facing the river, to which there is a gradual
descent. The main building is 180 feet
front by 80 wide. The lower story contains
the Chambers of the 'Senate and House of
Representatives, and several smaller apart
ments. In the second story is the Supreme
Court Room, Canal Commissioners" office and
several committee rooms, and two large
rooms appropriated to the State Library,
comprising over eight thousand volumes.
I might go on to enumerate many buildings
such as State Arsenal, Harris' stone build
ing on Front street, Mount Airy Water
works, and speak of the bridges spanning
the Susquehanna, &c., but defer it until
another time. Much might be written about
this place, now the capital of the Keystone
State, the 'confluence of several railroads,
and one of the most thrifty cities in the
Union, where not very many years ago stood
the wigmam of the red man, and surround
ing hills, now echoing the shrill scream of
the steam engine, then resounding with the
howl of the wild wolf and growl of the bear.
You may expect to hear from me soon
again, as I intend making a report of all I
'see while I am BOBBIN ROUND.
A New Cave Discovered.
SCOTTSTILLE, Huntingdon county,}
'arch 11, 1857.
Mn. EDITOR : li cave has recently been
discovered on the land of Mr. DAVID STONER,
known asthe " Three Spring Farm," in Clay
township, Huntingdon county, about one half
mile west of Scottsville ; which bids fair to
rival anything of the kind in this or any other
country, both in magnitude and interesting
curiosities. The mouth of the cave is on the
top of a high hill, which commands a com
plete View of the village of Scottsville and the
surrounding vicinity ; making it a pleasant
plaCe of resort in summer time.
This cave, so far as it has been explored,
coriteirt.' s • five rooms. The first of which isF
MAX. GREENE.
entered by a passage about two feet wide and
eighty-five feet long, and from five to Six: feet
high, and descends with a steep grade, so
that the first tooni iS about fifty feet below
the surface of the ground.
This (Ist) room is on an average about fif
teen feet square by 11 feet high. From this
to the second room there are two passages,
the shortest of which is about eight feet, the
other is circuitous, leading past the entrance
of what is called the fifth room. The second
room is about ten by five feet, and six feet
high. From this to the third room there are
two passages, through both of which a pers . =
must creep, about fifteen feet long. The
third room is about twelve by six feet high.
From the third to the fourth room there is
but one (a very narrow) passage fourteen feet
long. This room is small, being only about
three by five feet and four feet high. The
fifth room is to the right hand of the upper
passage leading from the first to the second
room, and is about three by eleven feet, and
six feet high. There are other passages lead
ing from nearly all the rooms into unexplored
parts of the cave. These passages will re
quire some work to open owing to the fallen
rock and formations which obstruct teem.
This cave abounds in curiosities formed by
the water. In some places there are vast
clusters of stalactites hanging down like
icicles. In other parts there are large columns
reaching from the floor to the top of the room.
In the second room there is the resemblance
of a mound about three feet in diameter and
one foot high, with a column reaching to the
top of the room ; the column is six inches in
diameter at the base and tapers nearly to a
point at the top, evidently formed by the wa
ter. It would require too much space to enu
merate all the curiosities of this vast cavern :
many of which have been broken down by
the thoughtless and carried away by the cu
rious. Other important discoveries will no
doubt yet be made.
The circumstances which led to this discov
ery are briefly these: In the summer of '56
Mr. JOHN M. PLuxim was plowing corn in
the field, and. in passing where the mouth of
the cave is,his horse broke through the top of the
ground, of which he took no further notice
than to avoid the place. During this winter
a fog was seen to rise from the hole made by
the horse, and as there is no water on that
part of the place, except in cisterns, and hav
ing tried for water unsuccessfully in other
places, they concluded to open this place in
search for water. Washington Kough was
employed. to make the search, and after sink
ing eleven feet came to the passage leading
to the first room of the cave : and to him be
longs the honor of first exploring this vast
cavern which had hithorta evidently }been un
known to man.
What is most singular is, that there is not
the least sign of foul air in any part of the
cave. Candles burn free and bright ; and
the air appears as pure and fresh after being
in for two or three hours as when you first
enter. ONE Or THE CURIOUS.
Tribute of Respect
At a meeting of the students of Mount
Joy Academy, occasioned by the death of
their late associate John P. Kerr, of Hunt
ingdon, Thos. U. Buick was called to the
chair and B. B. Porter appointed Secretary,
when the following resolutions were offered
and adopted:
Whereas, It having pleased the Almighty
God in the wise but mysterious dispensation
of Providence to remove from our midst our
esteemed friend and fellow student, JOHN P.
KERR. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That we regard with deep emo
tion, the sudden death of our late associate.
Resolved, That while his superior intellect
and elevated moral qualities gave promise of
future usefulness and eminent success in life,
his kindness of heart and gentleness of man
ner, endeared him. to all with whom he min
gled, and will cause him long to be held in
affectionate remembrance.
Resolved, That we tender our heartfelt
sympathy to the widowed mother, the broth
ers, sisters and relatives of our deceased
friend, in this sad bereavement and humbly
hope God will sustain and comfort them in
their deep affliction and that their and our
loss is his unspeakable gain.
Resolved, That' as a testimonial of our re
spect for the deceased, a committee of four
be appointed to accompany the remains to
Harrisburg, and that we wear the usual
badge of mourning during the remainder of
the session.
Resolved, That as an evidence of our sym
pathy a copy of these resolutions be
_trans
mitted to the family of the deceased and pub
lished in the Mount Joy Herald, the Lan
caster Daily and Express, American Demo
crat and a Huntingdon paper.
liel'Xim Arrested.
BLOOMSBURG, March 12th-3 o'clock, P.
M.—McKim the murderer, has been arrest
ed. near this place, at a onely tavern on
North Mountain—the spot being designated
as Long Pond, Luzern() county. The arrest
was effected by Mr. Aaron Wolf, assisted by
A. B. Koons. McKim was taken unawares,
and made no resistance. lle was brought to
Bloomsburg jail, and now lies'in that place.
To remove any doubts that this is the
murderer, I have ascertained that he has
upon his person evety mark, as described: by
the Philadelphia Evening Journal, to lead to
identification. On his road to prison he con
fessed that his name was McKird i and. that
he had been the companion of Norcross.
Upon his person there
. .!;vas nothing found
of any value: This lends to the belief, that
at the time of his detection at Salem, Ohio,
he escaped by giving. a heavy bribe. There
is no doubt but that the detectives who are
in your city contributed greatly to the arrest,
as they completely flooded this section of
country with handbills..
The fact of the arrest of IVleKim, at this
place, in a Mannerustifies me for having
credited the story of his capture, which I
telegraphed to you a few days since, inas
much as it appears that he has been in this
section of country, and in every probability
was the person seen and chased by three
men from Wilicesba:rre: Er. F.

expressly for this work. Indeed, all the other historical
writing of Mr. Goodrich, sink into insignificance, when
compared to this, the result of his riper and maturer years.
It is admitted that one handred dollars could not purchase
the same matter in any other shape, and the publishers
Confidently expect, in consideration of the great literary
value of the work, the large sum expended in preparing
it for the press. and the exceedingly moderate price ut
which it is offered, that it Will be favorably received by
every lover of good books. Many of our lint scholars, di
vines and gentlemen, who have examined the work, have
given it their unqualified approbation and commendation,
which it richly deserhs:
