Coale DOWN.—Thero is an evident neces sity for a speedy and radical reduction in the prices of boarding in Columbia and other pieces. The decline in flour, as well as meats renders the cry of high prices for the " raw material," entirely unjustifiable and will allow it no longer to he used as an eicusti for exorbitant rates. At the cl ,se of the war, .when provisions of all kinds were very high, and when flour was $13.00 per barrel good boarding could be had at MOO per week. Now the best flour• is quoted at $6,00 and $6.50 per barrel, ham and lard each at 16 cts. a pound, and beef at 16 to 20, eggs sell freely at 1S to 20 cents a dozen, and yet the price of boarding is the same. One of two things is certain; either the hotel keepers of the country starved dur ing the time of high prices, and aro scarcely =it l‘f.y made money then;they tire reaping a rich harvest now. Pric4s of clothing, from the hat to the `hoot have come down. A whole suit can •be bought at Wanamaker's for $5.00, and at - other, places for correspondingly low :prices. It is but right that prices of board ing should fall in like proportion. .

GOLD SEER IS.—Wt are informed that the Safe Harbor gold seekers are still en gaged in searching for " Treasure Trove." Their investigations, which have hitherto been confined to the Manor township side of the Conestoga creek, have recently been transferred to the Conestoga township hills opposite the scenes of their former research es. On Tuesday night at a late hour a party were discovered digging for the hidden treasure. They were much annoyed at be ing disturbed, and left off their digging at the presence of the unwelcome visitors who so suddenly interrupted their mysterious labors. It is singular that these supersti tious and deluded people should continue to hunt for buried gold, after the many as surances they have had their labor is all in vain.— Intelligcnccr.

CRIER, A SUBTERRANEAN 'JAR:E.—A correspon d, ut forni.hes t.INe , Barrels with the nil lowing description of an underground lake in the southern part of this county: About eight miles south of Lancaster city, near Pequea valley, on the farm of Jacob Good, in Pequea township, is a cave which was formerly known by the name of `• Bosler's Hole." This place has been frequently visited by persons who describ ed it as one of great interest and curiosity, not alone for Its geological features, but also for a subterranean lake of clear sparkling water having neither inlet nor outlet, imbedded in the solid lime-stone rock, which it was said to contain. It was also - said that in the lake were fishes de void of eyes, and that the depth of this body of water• had never been fathomed, being beyond the reach of the sounding line. On Saturday last a party from Wil low Street headed by M. W. Varnish, left early in the morning for the cave, tak ing with them torches, tar-poles, ropes, hatchets, itc., fully resolved to make a thorough exploration of the cave and a careful investigation of its contents, which had not before been accomplished. Alt r approaching the place, the party examin-' ed the adjacent grounds and the hill in which the cavern is situated in order to find a stream or subterraneo as passage of water that might possibly communicate with, or have access to the lake, existing* within the cave. After a prolonged and diligent search, the party did not succeed in finding one. They now went to the cave, which opens at the top of a hill ; the hole being funnel-shaped, or similar to the crater of a volcano. Ladders were sits poneed to the bottom by the aid of ropes. The first distance from the surface of the ground to where the limestone rock com mences is thirty feet, where the cavity con tracts and assumes the figure of a paralle logram, being about two feet wide. and eittlit feet long. From this point to the first offset in the cave is twenty feet more, or a perpendicular descent of fatty feet from the surface to the first offset. From here to the surface of tho water is twenty feet more, in a gradual descent. Moving back about twenty feet you come to the edge of the lake, '1 itch is forty feet wide and sixty to seventy feet in length. Mate rial was procured and a flat constructed in order to explore the lalco and sound its greatest depth, which was thirty-five feet. The water is cold, clear and sparkling, at sample of which was taken to the city for analysis. The water is perfectly quiet, and has apparently no inlet nor outlet. There are sore kinds of fishes or animals in the lake, but the party were not prepar ed to secure nny of them, and hence were obliged to postpone it till some future day. The cave is from seventy to seventy-five feet long, fifty to sixty wide, and from for ty to fifty In height. There is a firm arch of solid limestone overhead as - well as on all sides, and it appears us If It had been shaped and fashioned• by some plastic hand. AT Mr. Ferulrieh's, you will get •4 cigars for 5 cts. as good as sold elsewhere 2 for 5 ets. COUNTERPEITS.—Spurious issues of the $lO notes of the Central National Bank of Rome, Now York, are in circulation in this vicinity. THE GREAT HORSE FAIR.—The entries of the Great Horse Fair, are so many that we ran but refer to them in our limited space. Upwards thirty of the finest trotting and pacing horses in the state have been enter ed as competitors for the several very liberal prizes offered by the association. Paris Haldeman of Chickies has entered three in his own name and the iiitelligeucer com menting on this fact, says that to " Paris Haldeman, Esq., the Association has spe cial reasons for feeling itself greatly In debted for the moral and material support he has given it, in entering for its premi• =sat the ensuing. Fair three of his horses and in entering them in his own well known and highly honored name." The first day (Wednesday Tune 1,) there will ho three set contests, between well known and well matched horses. The se cond day there will be two trills ; first an animated contest between five county horses and second between five from abroad. On the third day there will be a contest between four first-class pacing horses, to be follow ed by a running race. If the weather proves favorable, there will no doubt be thousands of people in attendance at these races. I lIAVIt reduced the price of everything in my line, and if I do not sell you tobacco, segars, pipes, tte., cheaper than - you can buy elsewhere,l do not ask. you to buy; call and examine for yourself at John Fen drich's.

Lutheran church having arrived with his family on Thursday evening last, was 'greeted by a largo number of the congregation at the Parsonage, each of whom brought a basket loaded with many of the "good things of life." The tables and every available space in the dining room were literally fill ed with the gifts of the people and pastor and family received a most cordial greet ing. These tokens of esteem and love must certainly be gratifying to the pastor and calculated to unite people and pastor in the work before them. The new relation thus entered Into, seems to have begun under most favorable auspices, The church opens up a wide field of useful ness and is in good condition, being free from debt and embracing a largo member ship with material for increase. Mr. Rhodes brings to the work,a largo and loving heart and energetic spirit and love fOr tho Master's cause, and we predict for him a successful ministry among us. EWE [Communicated.] EDIT= SPY is a well known fact among brick-burners, that a hard burn ed brick Is proportionally much heavier than one Ni.hich has not been so much ex posed to the fire. The reverse of this fact would seeds more probable, but yet scienti fic observations, conducted arid made under different Circumstances and at different places, confirm our first' assertion. Now why is it?! Almost any substance that is dried by Beat, either of fire or of the sun, becomes. lighter--the only exception is a. brick. Does the old saying about a " brick in his hat" refer to a hard or soft burned brick? Hero is a subject of great interest for scientific Men.
