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.

While coming years their circles run
Blast be the ground where heroes sleep,
And blest the flag that o'er them waves,

And brightly beam on hallowed graves.

Immortal flowers in vernal bloom,
Till Godshall call us home to share
Immortal life beyond the tomb.

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

to hunt for buried gold, after the many as

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.

BY E. NORMAN" GUNNISON
StreW,ltowers o'er the graves of our oatrlot
dead,
Twine them fresh wreaths of immortelles,
Ly ng at rest In each narrow bed,
On northern lulls and on southern dells:
Amaranths bring, and the buds of spring,
For our noble heroes requiems sing.
Soft on earth's breast, noblest and best,
Sleep in the land you have died to save,
Green be the willow over each pillow,
Bright be the turf of each patriot's grave
Dark was the elowl. with "war's gathering
thunder,
Black was the shadow which hung o'er our
land,
Threatning to sever our Union asunder,
Treason and madness on every hand,
When from their homes at the call of the na
tion
Sprang these true heroes to battle for right,
Willing to die for the country's salvation,
God nerved each arm as it struck. for the right.
Let them sleep on; They will heed not our
coming ;
Now while the spring time is ripe with its bloom,
Now while the wild bee grows loud in Its hum
ming,
Will brighten with flowers the long rest of the
tomb.
Yet it is meet that the hand of the living
Yield them ovation; our heroes, our pride,
They who gave all; and Who perished in giving ,
Battled, and suffered, and conquered, and
died.
G‘een be their graves it - hen the spring time
returning
Brings loving hands, Flora's ofre.rings to shed
Bright be the tire of their memory burning;
These, our undying ones—gone—hut not dead.
Scatter bright flowers o'er the rest they are
taking.
Wreath them fresh chaplets, and laurels en-
twine.. -
Till the arch-angel's dread trumpet awaking,
Shall marshal their hosts in the heavenly line
For the best, easiest and most effectual
Shoulder Braces in the world, go to E. J.
Erismau, 41,E North Queen St., Lancaster.

DONATION' Vism—The Rev. G. M. Rhodes
lately elected pastor of the E. E. 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.

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

T 0 INVENTORS, PATENTEES,
AND ASSIGNEES OF PATENTS
The subscriber has openedan Office for the
benefit of INVENTORS. PATENTEES and AS
SIGNEES OF' PATENTS.
Many really valuable inventions are lost or
dropped, even after Letters Patent have been
obtained, for the want of means or the knowl
edge of the proper channels through which to
introduce them on the part of the owners, which
might realize for them a handsome fortune if
placed In my hands.
My facilities for bringing such to the notice of
capitalists, and introducing them throughout
the United States, are unlimited.
Only those which I tun satisfied, after a fair
but thorough investigation can be disposed of,
will be accepted.
•l candid opinion can always be relied on
Charges moderate and satisfaction guaranteed.
