HUNTINGDON, PA.
For the Globe,!
On the first day of April, 1866, being
Baster Sabbath, I found myself on the
banks of the Raystown Branch, in Ju
niata township, this county, the place
of my nativity. In the afternoon
there was an appointment for preach
ing at Ilawn's school house; but as the
minister failed
. to meet the appoint
ment, the young folks concluded co
have some singing.
"Divine music must be allowed by all
who practice it to be an emanation
from the Deity. It is admirably calcu
lated to raise the mind above the sub
lunary enjoyments of this life, in gra
titude to our beneficent Benefactor
and Creator. When we consider upon
the Divine nature and power of music
on the affections, we are wrapped up
in admiration, love, and praise, and
cannot but adore the Almighty Giver
of so good and glorious a gift; and
that he has bestowed upon us and our
fellow beings, faculties to sing his
praise." No att, in nature is better
calculated to interest the feelings and
command the passions, than music well
performed. It is calculated to draw
the mind from the contaminating ins
thence of vice and immorality, to a
more healthy influence of morality,
sociability, and harmony, in society.
If I am any judge of sacred music, I
think I never heard it better perform.
ed than it was at that place, especially
those two pieces called "Green street"
and "Child of Mortality." They per
formed it as correct and exact •as
clockwork.
EZEMEEEI
The nest day, the school, in connec
tion with several others, met in con
cert at the Tunkert church, near Mar
klesburg, under tuition of John Aus.
traw, Esq. There was delightful sing
ing performed in that place, in the
presence of about three hundred spec
tators. All moved on as harmoniously
as clockwork. We think those schools
were fortunate in securing Mr. Add
traw for their teacher, and. would be,
speak a good word for him to all that
would wish to make vocal music their
study, as he is hard to beat as a teach
er, and is worthy of patronage.
In conclusion, we say to you, young
folks, persevere onward and upward
iu the science of vocal and sacred mu•
sic, perform in clinch, properly in
chord, and in the manner that it ought
to be done, and grand effects will he
the unavoidable results, if the music
itself be good.
"There is a charm, a power, that sways the breast,
Can soothe distraction, and al inqst despair;
That power is music."
EVIL REPOIITS:—it is hardly neces
sary for any one who has lived long in
this talking world, to say that im
mense injury is often done•to the feel
ings reputation and interest of people,
by the free circulation of false reports.
This subject is pretty generally under
stood, though it is to be regretted that
many who understand it are very•fhr
from being sufficiently put on guard
by their knowledge. lt, however, does
not require that reports should always
be untrue, in order to injure those to
whom they relate. A thing may be
true, and in fact right also, so far as
the actors are concerned; and yet as it
may be what does not properly con
cern other people, a general circulation
of the facts may be very trying and
embarrassing to those who are made
the subjects of the wonderful tales.—
How cautious, then, ought every one
to be, in meddling with' and retailing
the affairs of his neighbors.
But the evil is often as great in lis
tening to reports as it is in circulating
them. And if listeners could not be
found, tellers would soon be scarce.—
The rules which Mr. Simeon laid down
for himself in regard to listening to re•
ports involving the character of other
people, are well worthy the eonsidera
tion of all who have been faulty on
this subject. lie says;
"The longer I live the more I feel
the importance of adhering to the
rules I have laid down for myself in
relation to such matters.
1. To hear as little as possible what
ever is to the prejudice of others.
2. To believe nothing of the kind
until I am absolutely forced to it.
3. Never drink in the spirit of one
who circulates an ill report,.
4. Always to moderate, as far as I
can, the Unkindness which is expressed
towards others.
5. Always to believe that if the oili
er side were heard a very different ac
count would be given of the matters."
In these rules is certainly found the
spirit of the Saviour's Golden Rule.—
They contain precisely the spirit that
any ono would wish others to enter
tain towards him. What wo wish oth
ers to do concerning us, wo should do
to them. Then let us hear less evil,
and wo shall repeat less. Many things
aro said in free conversation concern
ing neighbors which aro not intended
for evil; and yet a moment's reflection
would satisfy any one that evil would
grow out of it. Be cautious about tell
ing or hearing any reports out of
which evil may grow.—Olive Branch.
Br the simple invention of moulding
common bricks, with dove tailed
grooves, in various ways, by means of
which they can be more firmly cemen
ted together, a decided improvement
in the construction of brick walls up•
pears to have been secured at a little
or DO additional cost.
There is not a stream of trouble
so deep and swift running that we
may not cross safely over, it we have
courage to steer and strength to pull.
rWhenover you take a drink, be
sure you keep your noso above water.
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1866,
The Blue Juniata.
Duty and inclination have frequent
ly taken us along the Juniata, during
the past ten years. On these various
occasions wo fell in with traveling
companions,representing almost every
type and shade of human character.—
But while they differed on almost eve
ry other topic, it was interesting to
observe with what unanimity they
lavished their encomiums upon the
scenery through which we were pass
ing. And when we came to examine
the elements of that universal senti
ment of admiration, we find that a
simple ballad, of some unknown bard,
had contributed more than all other
causes combined to throw a peculiar
charm around every thing pertaining
to the river and valley of the Juniata.
Not the Stirring events of the early
settlement of this romantic region, as
portrayed so graphically by U. J.
Jones and others, not the matchless
beauty of the natural scenery, so much
as that creation of poetic fancy in the
song of "The Blue Juniata," had
brought about this grand result. With
all its apparent fictitious sentimentali
ty, there is much in the song and le.
geud of the wild, roving Indian . girl
that touches the heart, like the sweet
strains of some half forgotten melody
of our childhood.
The "Blue Juniata" always recalls
for us not only touching memories of
the departed race of refmen, but the
voice and features of dear departed
friends, who in by gone clays sweetly
sang the "gay mountain song of bright
Alfarata."
We recently noticed an incident of
Sherman's grand march in the papers,
which we deem worthy of being re
peated in this connection: On a beans
tiful summer night, when the great
captain was sweeping through Georgia
"smashing things to the sea," as he
quietly sat in front of his tent, his car
caught the faint strains of a favorite
melody, which one of the bands was
playing in the distance. lle listened
with increasing delight; and as the last
echoes of the music were borne away
on the evening bieeze, he quickly do
spate-hod an orderly to request a repe
tition of the piece. It was repeated
several times by the baud and !was
then taken up by the men at the camp
fires, was• borne, with the greatest en
thusiasm, from hill top to hill top, till
late at night. Do you ask what melo
dy produced such a thrilling effect on
the great chieftain and his war worn
veterans? It was the song of the
"Blue Juniata" of which we have been
speaking, and a response to which we
now presume to give the readers of the
Guardian, with the wishes of several
friends.
BEE!
If the perusal of these imperfect
stanzas afford but a moiety of the in
nocent enjoyment occasioned by the
I . 4mous ballad to which they refer, we
will cheerfully submit to all the re
proach of the critics.
A RESPONSE TO TUE "BLUE JI',IIATA."
Written in the summer of 1305, while travel
ing along that "peerless little river."
The Indian girl has ceased to rove
Along the winding river;
The warrior brave that won her love,
Is gone, with bow and quiver.
The valley rears another race,
Where flows the Juniata;
There maidens rove; with Atm face
Than that of Alfarata.
Where pine trees moan her requiem wail,
And blue waves too aro knelling,
Through mountain gorge and fertile vale,
A louder note is swelling.
A. hundred years have rolled around,
The red man has departed,
The hills give back a wilder sound
Than warrior's whoop o'er started.
With piercing neigh, the iron steed
Now sweepialong the waters,
And bears, with more than wilddecr speed,
The white 1111111 N eons and daughters.
The products, ton, of every clinic)
. Aro borne along the river,
Where roved the brave, in olden time,
With naught but bow and quiver.
And swifter than the arrow's fli g ht,
From trusty bow and quiver,
The messages of ldve and light
Now speed along the river.
The engine and the telegraph
Have wrought some wondrous changes,
Since rang the Indian maiden's laugh
Among the mountain ranges.
'Tis grand to see what art Lath done,
The world is surely wiser;
117 hut triumphs white mou's skill lies won
With steam, the eivilizer.
But Still, methinks I'd rather hear
Tho song of Alfarata—
Had rather chase the fallow deer
Along the Juniata.
For fondly now my heart e4teems
This Indian song and story,
Yea, grander far old nature seems,
Than art in all its glory.
Roll on, thou classic Keystone stream,
Thou peerless little ricer,
Fulfill the poet's brightest dream,
And be a joy forever.
As generations come mid go,
Each 0:10 their part repeating,
Thy waters keep their constant flow,
Still down to ocean fleeting.
And while thy blue waves seek tho sea,
Thou lovely Junietn,
Surpassing sweet thy name shall be,
For sake of Alfarata.

Exploration of a Remarkable Cave in In
diana—Terrible Adventures of the Ex
ploring Party---Two Men lost in the
Cave--One of them Rescued After a Pe
riod of Fifty-Six Hours---. 4 notherMan
Still Missing,
A correspondent of the Indianapo
lis Herald, writing from Leavenworth,
Crawford county, Ind., April 8, says :
'I write to inform you of the particu
lars of an explorin , . , expedition which
left here on Thursday last, to explore
Dead Man's Cave, situated about four
miles south of this place, and three
quarters of a mile west of the river.
The existence of this cave has been
known for some time, though its
extent has never been suspee•
tut until recently. A few weeks
since a party from Louisville, a'dcbm
ponied by citizens of this place, cx•
plored it to the distance of three guar
tees of a mile, but were stopped by a
wide subterranean river, too deep for
fording, and which they had no means
of crossing. The party which loft here'
on Thursday,consisting of Maj. Throck
morton, of Louisville; Capt. Iloleraft,
Sheriff Swayne, Dr. E. R. flown, and
Lyman E. Knapp, of this place; Mr.
Jesse Brandon, of Nashville, and your
correspondent, went prepared to make
a thorough exploration of the cave.
Besides the necessary lights, ropes,
wAter proof clothing, etc , they carried
with them a light boat, prepared ex—
pressly"for the occasion, on which to
cross the mysterious stream that had,
on the former occasion, stopped their
further progress. The party set forth
it) the highest of spirits. The expedi
tion proceeded without delay to the
terminus of the former exploration on
the banks of the subterranean river.
Those, who had accompanied the for
mer expedition noticed a perceptible
change in the appearance of thestream,
which seemed to be much fuller and
turbulent, plunging and roaring in
some unknown abyss below. A con
sultation was had on the bank, to de
termine whether an attempt should be
made to cross in its present swollen
condition. Mr. Knapp, myself and
Sheriff Swayne suggested an aban
donment of the expedition, but were
overruled by Dr. Hawn, Maj. Throck•
morson, Capt. Holeraft and Mr. Bran
don, who, while admitting the danger..
ous character of the attetript declared
they would rather perish than aban
don the expedition now, and stand the
ridicule which such a movement would
entail upon their heads. The boat was
accordingly launched, and Captain
Holeraft, Ur. Hawn and myself enter
ed. We found the passage much easier
than we expected. Captain Holcraft,
then returned, and soon brought over
the remainder of the party. The boat
was firmly secured to a stout iron
stake, brought along for the purpose,
and the party proceeded on the expe
dition. Directly ahead was a wide
gallery, whose roof was so high that
we could scarcely distinguish it by the
feeble light of a lamp, while to the
right and lift the stream ran through
another gallery or chamber, the two
intersecting each other like the arms
of a Greek cross. We followed the
gallery before us for about a quarter
of a mile, when it suddenly narrowed,
and apparently came to an abrupt ter
mination. titter searching f'or an out
let, and finding none, we were on the
point of reluctantly turning back,wlien
o shout of exultation from Dr. Hawn
proclaimed that he had found an open
big. To the right, and some distance
from the termination of the cal de sac,
the doctor had discovered a narrow
opening. ,Crawling through this on
our hands and knees fur a distance of
several hundred yards, we came upon
a high vaulted chamber, partially light
ed from above, which was the most
magnificent underground hall I have
ever seen. Thousands of stalactites
and stalagmites hung pendent from
above, reflecting the glare of torches
in millions of pure rays of dazzling
light. If the ceiling and sides had been
literally hung with enormous clusters
of diamonds, the effect eculd not have
been more bewildering. For a moment
the entire party was awe stricken and
speechless. Then the more excitable
ones broke forth in rapturous applause.
After relletill , our eyes to satisfy on
the indescribable splendor of tho stirs
roundings, we, proceeded to further
discoveries. Numerous small galleries
were found, radiating in every direc
tion from the central chamber, and
these wore explored in turn, some of
them coming to an abrupt elose,against
a dead, blank wall of rock, and others
gradually narrowitio, until they could
be followed no farther. Others forked,
branching off into two and three other
galleries. It was found that the thor
ough exploration of the cavern from
this point would be a work of weeks,
if not months. In one place was found
LI deep circular hole, apparently al
most bottomless. Stones dropped into
its gaping mouth would be heard sal
lenly plunging front side to side, until
the noise of thmiiir descent was lost in
the abyss far below. Mr. Knapp being
the lightest of the party, was letdown
by a strew , cord a distance of some
thirty yards,' when he vigorously sig
nified that lie hadseen enough by jerk
ing time rope. He was drawn up look
ing a ttillo paler than usual, and de..
elating that his curiosity hod been am
ply satisfied. Mr. Knapp said that,
titter descending a distance of fifteen
or twenty feet, numerous winged
things, apparently bats, flitted con
stantly about his oars, viciously snap
ping their mandibles together with a
devilish' sea of twitter. One of these,
cold, clammy and inexpressibly nasty,
alighted on his face, and inflicted a se
vere bite. Mr. Knapp nearly fainted
with disgust, and declared that if the
rope had not been tied under his arms
Lo woujd have fallen,
Now comes the most painful part of I
the story. Tired, and weary of sight
seeing, the party was on the point of
starting on the return, when at the
earnest solicitation of Dr. Hawn, we
consented to at least partially explore
another cavern. It was followed but a
short distance when it suddenly har
rowed. Mr: Knapp, going first, passed
through the opening on his hands and
knees, and entered another large cham
ber. Dr. Hawn, who is a very heavy
Man, attempted to follow, and, became
inextricably fixed in the . passage. He
could neither got fbrward nor back.
For three hours the party worked in
cessantly, but all to no purpose. We
sent back to the river and got the iron.
stake with which tta boat was fhsten
ed, to use as a crowbar. With this
the doctor might have been extricated,
but here a new calamity manifested
itself. One by one, the lamps had burn
ed out, until barely eauugh oil was left
to light us on our way buck to the riv
er. The thoughts of being imprisoned
in that living tomb was too terrible to
be endured, for wo knew that, without
light, wo could never find our way
back. A. panic seized upon the party,
and nastily leaving the doctor and Mr.
Knapp to their fate—for the doctor's
body effectually blocked up the way
against Mr. Knapp's return,—we rap
idly rotiaeed our steps, crossed the
river and returned to the town. A
supply of oil, tools, etc., were procured,
and, although fatigued almost to the
point of disability, we returned to the
cave, determined to rescue our com
rades or perish in the attempt. The
river was crossed, and we proceeded
to the grand chamber where we had
taken our lunch, accompanied by nu
merous citizens of Leavenworth. But
search as closely as we would we
could not find the gallery in which the
doctor and Mr. Knapp were entombed.
In vain we explored and shouted un
til worn out and fainting. All to no
purpose. Nearly three days have pans
ed Since we first entered the cave, and
during all that time it has been full of
people uselessly hunting for the unfor
tunate men. One after another of the
various galleries_ leading from the
, tand chamber have been explored
and blazed with chalk marks, but still
the missing men cannot be found. We
are beginning to loose heart, but will
still presovere as long as there is the
fiiintest hope. The guide of the mam
moth cave in Kentucky has been sent
for to assist in the search. I shall re
main here a day or two longer, to do
what little I can, and will inform you
if the men or their bodies aro found.
P. S.—Mr. Knapp has just been
brought in. A hunter found him lying
at the mouth of what has generally
been considered a sort of sink hole,
about five miles from the town. Mr.
Knapp's condition is too precarious to
admit a detailed account of his escape,
but from what I can gather from his
incoherent explanations, it seems that,
finding he could not return, he went
ahead in hope of finding an outlet.
After what seemed an age of wander
ing and groping in the dark, and, after
having several times despairingly laid
down to die, he was at last successful
in emerging from his living tomb. Ho
fltinted on coming to the open air, and
was in this condition found by the hun•
ter. A party has just gone to enter
the cavern by the way in which Mr-
Knapp came out. Strong hopes are
entertained that the doctor will be
rescued.
A BoAosion DlALoonE.—"And so
Squire, you don't take a county paper?"
"No, Major, I got the city papers on
much better terms. I take a couple
of them."
"But, Squire, the county papers of
ten prove a great convenience to us.
The more we encourage them, the bet
ter the editor can afford to make theta."
"Why, I don't know any conveni—
ence they are to me."
"The farm you sold last fall was ad
vertised in one of them, and aunty
you obtained a customer. Did you not?'
"Very true, Major, but I paid three
dollars for it."
"And you made more than three
hundred dollars by it. Now, if your
neighbor had not maintained the press
and kept it up ready for use, you
would have been without the means to
advertise your property. But I saw
your daughter's marriage in the paper;
did that cost you anything F"
"No, but—"
"And your brother's death, with a
tang obituary notice. And the destruc
tion of our neighbor Rigg's house by
fire. You know those things are ex.
aggerated till the authentic accounts
of the newspapers set them right."
"0, true, but—"
"And when your cousin Splash was
up for the Legislature, you appeared
much gratified at his defence, which
cost him nothing."
"Yes, yes, but these things are in
teresting to the readers. The cause

"No, Squire Grudge, if all were like
you. ow, I tell you, the day. will
surely come when somebody will write
a long eulogy on your life and charaes
ter, and the printer will put it in types
with a heavy black cut over it, and
with all your riches, this will be done
for your grave as a pauper. Your
wealth, your morality,
and all such
things will be spoken of, but the prin.

ranging the type to those sayings will
remark of you—poor, mean devil, he is

Soliloquy of a Loafer.
Let's see, where am I ? This is—coal
I'm lying on. Was coming ußstreot—
mot a wheelbarrow—was drunk, corn•
in' t'other way—the wheelbarrow fell
over me, or I over the wheelbarrow,
and one of us fellintothe Cellar.don't
know which now—guess it must ha'
been me. I'm a nice young man ;
yes
I am—tight! tore ! drunk ! Well, I
can't help it--'taint my fault—wonder
whose fault 'Lis? Is it Jones' fault?
No. Is it my wife's fault? Well, it
ain't. Is it the wheelbarrow's fault?
No. It's whisky's fault. Whois whis
ky ? Has he a large family ? All poor,
I reckon. I think I won't own him
any more. I'll cut his acquaintance.
I've had that notion for about ten
years, and always hate to do it for fear
of hurting his feeling. I'll do it now.
I think liquor is injurtn' me—it's spoil
ing my temper.
Sometimes I get mad when I'm drunk
and abuse Bets and the boys; it used
to he Lizzie and the children—that's
some time ago. I'd come home o' eve
nin's, an she put her arms around any
neck an' kiss me, an' call me her dear
William. When I comes now, she
takes the pipe out of her mouth an'
her hair out of her eyes, au' says some
thin' like :—"Bill, you drunken brute,
shut the door after you; we're cold
enough, Lavin', no fire, 'thout letting
the snow blow in that way." Yes,
she's Bets, an' I'm Bill, now. I ain't a
good Bill, nuttier; think Pm a coun—
terfeit; won't pass a tavern without
g - oin' in an' gettiu' drunk. Don't know
what bank Pm on. Last Saturday I
was on the river bank—drunk.
I stay out pretty late; no, some
times I'm out all night; fact is, I'm
out pretty much all over--out of friends,
out of pocket, out at the elbows and
knees, and always outrageously dirty
—so Bets says; but then she's no judge,
for she's never clean herself. I wonder
why she diiesn't wear good clothes;
maybe she hasn't got'em; whose fault's .
that ?—isn't mine—must be whisky's.
Somtimcs I'm in, however;, I'm ins
toxicated, and in somebody's coal cel
lar. There's ono principle I've got--I
wont git in debt; I I never could do it.
I think I paid for that last drink.—
There, one of my coat tails is gone--
got tore off, I expect, when I fell in
hero. I'll have to get a new suit soon.
A fellow told me timber day that I'd
make a good sign for a paper mill. If
he wasn't so big I'd lamm him. I've

this window shutter in my pants the
other night, when I sat down on the
wax in Bon Rugg's shop; I'll have to
get it mended, or—l'll catch cold. I
ain't very stout. As the boys say, I'm
as fat as a match and as healthy as the
small pox. My best hat is standing

Wonderful Freaks of lightning.
The Lebanon (Pa.) Courier, of
Thursday, relates the the following cu•
rious freaks of lightning; Sheridan,
this county, was, on Saturday evening
last, the scene of the strangest freaks
of lightning that wo have ever heard
or read of. It was about eight o'clock,
just after the up train of passenger
cars had passed the railroad station,
and when, fortunately, almost all in
the vicinity were in their homes, that
a startling flash of lightning broke up ,
on the place, playing about fora short
time, with dazzling electric streaks
and balls, and then all was as quiet in
nature as before. But the . effect was
destructive to property, and it seems
providential that it was not fatal to
life. The residence of Col. D. W.
Leeds was struck, and it was left al
most as if it had been gutted by a mob.
The porches in front and roar of the
d welling'were hurled from their places,
the floors in several of the rooms wore
torn up and all the hoards left in fin—
ders, the ceiling were knocked down,
and much of the furniture knocked in•
to a mass of debris. The lightning rod
on the house was torn into four pieces,
The house, inside of the walls, was
pretty Much a wrack. But the most
astonishing thing was connected with
the inmates. Mrs. Leeds and two chil
dren were the only ones in the house
at the time. Mrs. L. was sitting op a
rocking chair which was split in two
by the fluid, but she received no inju—
ry further than being somewhat shock
ed. Willie, a lad of some fourteen
years of ago, was sitting on a chair
which was knocked into a dozen or
more pieces. His clothing was torn
into shreds, leaving but little op his
person but some tattered remains of
his coat. He was picked up appar—
ently dead. Water was at pope pump
ed upon him, and he soon returned to
consciousness, but was very seriously
burned from his breast to hisfeet.

The windows of the depot, fifty yards
distant, were pretty much all broken,
and Mr. Schultz's hotel, twenty-five
yards yet further, was roached by the
fiery visitor, to play about the build
lug .and astonish the resting inmates.
There were a large table standing by,
the side of the window, and en it .a
person was lying conversing with a
friend sitting by his side. . The win ,
dow was smashed to pieces, and . the
gentleman at the side of the table leap
ed 'through another window under the
impression that the boiler in Mr. Kauff
man's furnace had exploded, and was
coming through the house with all the
force with which unchained steara
could impute it. The hotel was not
very seriously injured, but the marks
of the lightning were visible in many
places. A few persons who were oat
of doors in the vicinity at the time,
were knocked down by the shock, and.
the earth was torn up in many places.
Inhabitants of the Human Body.
What think you, reader, of your
body's being a planet inhabited by liv
ing races, as we inhabit the earth ?
Whatever may bo your thoughts. on
the subject, the fact is even so. Your
body is but a home for parasites, that
erwal over its surface; burrow beneath
the skin, and nestle in its entrails,"and
riot and propagate their kind in every
corner of its frame. The sensation in
regard to trichina in swine flesh has
sot the scientific to "knocking:their'
heads together," and the result is the
following facts :- Parasites, not only
inhabit the bodies of all animals used
by us as food, but they are also found
in abandance in oar own organiiation.
Tho species trichina spiralis,of whiCh so
much is said, whose existence has boon
discovered in pork, is, according to oar
beat anatomists, found in almost eve
ry muscle, of the human body.. It
lies along the fibres of the mua:

about one fourth of an inch in length.

Prof. Wood, of Philadelphia, says: "No
evidence has yet been produced of any
morbid influence exerted by,the trich
ina upon the system daring life "They.
