From the New York Sim.
Maysvillf;, Kv., Mnnfli 30.- -An ex
ceedingly interesting discovery was
made a few days ago by a party of
young men while out hunting near
the town of Augusta, some fourteen
or fifteen miles from this city. While
beating, about for game upon the
lands of S. K. Veach. a well-known
farmer of the neighborhood, in a
dense thicket of young eltns, upon the
side of one of the hills, their dogs sud
denly disappeared through an open
ing somo three or four feet in diame
ter, which proved upon examination
to be the entrace to a cavern that
promises to ri v al in magnificence and
grandeur the world-renowned Mam
moth Gave of Southern Iv< ntucky.
The mouth of this cavern appears
to have been covered with a large flat
rock that slipped away from the open
ing, together with a large mass of
earth, and this accidentally indicated
the existenceof the cave. This stone,
which evidently answered for a front
door to a dwelling of some of the mys
terious people who lived and had
their being in the Ohio valley anteri
or to theadventof the modern Indian,
was nearly overgrown with moss, and
measured five feet or more one way
nud a little less than four feet the oth
er. Underneath the moss has been
traced a hieroglyphical inscription, j
which it is not improbable to suppose
may have been made for the purpose
of signifying to the passer-by, as our I
modern door plates do, the names of
the dwellers inside.
The characters occnring most fre
quently in this symbal writing are a
circle divided by a perpendicular line,
a representation of a double lodge,
and irregular, wavy lines, supposed ;
to indicate water. Some of our local;
antiquarians have deciphered the
circular figure to signify unity or the :
union of two branches of the same '
family. The idea appears to be
strengthened by the rude drawing of
the united lodges. From this inter
pretation, it is infered that two fam
ilies, possibly connected by ties of
consanguinity, lived together in this j
prehistoric dwelling. The lines that
are supposed to represent water are
similar to those given by Mr. School
craft in his Antiquities of America as !
meaning fluids. It is not unlikely
that the figure may have some associ
ation with the Ohio river, which is
distant from the spot not more than
half a mile.
INTERIOR OK THE CAVERN.
The young men, who stumbled, as
it AA’ere, lipoD a knowledge of the ex
istence of this underground wonder,
AA’ere too much startled and awe
stricken to attempt at that time the
exploration of the unknown regions,;
to the brink of which accident had
led them. But on the following morn
ing they procured a supply of candles,
ropes, and other articles used in cave j
explorations and headed by an intre- i
pid young fellow named Stephen
Wyatt, repaired to the entrance and
began the descent. At the beginning
the aA’enuc of entrace dropped per
pendicular four feet, when it sloped
gradually at an angle of froty-five de
grees, varying in width from four to
twelve feet, for a distance estimated
at about one hudred yards, termina
ting abruptly in a chamber about
eighty feet square and thirty feet or
more in height.
The appearance of this room is de
scribed as being peculiarly grand and
impressive. Immense stnlaetit.es
drooped from the ceiling, and glisten
ed in the light of the candles like
masses of solid silver. The floor was
covered with a clean, white sand,
such as is found upon the sea shore,
to the depth of ten or twelve inches.
The young men, who had never wit
nessed such a sight as the interior of
this cavern presented, were lost in
wonder and amazement, and were ea
ger to return to the surface, but one
more bold than the rest urged a fur
ther exploration, to which the others
reluctantly consented. An examina
tion of the chamber revealed the fact
that there was no mode of continu
ing the journey, except, through a
small opening near the floor, that re
quired the party to proceed on their
hands and kees.
A distance of a hundred feet or
more was accomplished in this way
when the leader was startled to find
himself at the brink of a precipice
overlooking a pit of stygian blackness.
He was so shocked by the discovery
of his danger that he lost his presence
of mind, and would have toppled over
into the abyss had he hot been seized
by one of his companions and drawn
back. The party were again tempted
to return, but Wyatt insisted with
firmness upon pursuing the journey
as far as it could be accomplished
with safety. A strong rope was then
fastened to a projecting crag, and
one by one the young men dropped
into the pit, which proved to he
about twenty feet in depth. At this
point they encountered a slope or in
cline, composed of a confused mass of
roof-rock, down which they scrambled
to the bottom, where they found
themselves in a large vaulted cham
ber, more than a hundred fool in
i height, filled with stalactites, stalap
! mites, and the curious formations
i that have rendered so attractive the
| great cave of Edmondson county.
A HUNT SKELETON.
In the centre of this room there
; loomed up out of the darkness an
immense square moss-covered lmnch
|of loose stones, carefully laid one
! upon the other,, after the fashion of
| the rook fences common in this sec
tion of country. There could *be uo
! doubt that this monument or cairn
! was the result of human labor, expeu
i ded probably thousands of years ago.
The top of this sarcophagus, for such
it proved to be, was covered by slabs
’ of thin rock, evidently transported
from the surface. They were care
fullv removed, disclosing a square
vault that had been plastered with
mud mixed with small pieces of straw
jor twigs of trees or bushes. In the
| centre of the vault, in a sitting post
ure, was found the skeleton of a hu
[ man figure, entire, and perfectly pre
served by the dry atmosphere of the
cave. As there xvas no appearance of
flesh upon the hones, it is probable
the body bad been prepared in the
; open air, denuded o' the flesh,
and afterward removed to the cave
for burial. The bones were taken
; carefully out of the vault, laid upon
! the floor, and by the rough moasuro
j meat the young men were able to
I make found to be those of a man over
eight feet six inches in height. The
j skull u ensured nearly twelve inches
in the shortest diameter, and had on
the left side an indentation, evidently
I made by a severe blow.
In the vault at the side of the skel
eton was found an implement of cop
] per, four feet three inches in length,
| that weighs four pounds, and ap-
I pears to have beeu intended for
a weapon of defence. It is roughly
made, and was probably fashioned
from the native copper of the lake re
gions. The sword is slightly bent,
tapers to a point, and has somewhat
the appearance of a saw upon its cut
ting edge. A rude effort at decora
tion is made upon the handle by ir
regular lines running entirely around
it.
In close proximity to this interest
ing relic was found what was at first
taken to he a rude bowl of the same
metal, but it has since been decided
that it is a helmet or head covering.
A stone ax of elegant workmanship,
seven flint arrow points, a stone pipe
carved to represent a frog, a piece of
buckskin four inches square and stain
ed red, a pair of sandals woven from
vegetable fibre, and a water vessel of
: sun-baked clay were also found.
AN ABORIGINAL WATER COOLER.
The litter is now in my own pos
f soasioffl? and is a very beautiful speei
: men. Jit appears to bo made from
; clay tempered with skill, and is very
! similar in design to the pottery occa
sionally found in Tennessee, Arkansas
and some of the other Southern Sl ates
and known among antiquarians as the
i “Mound Builders’ watercooler.” The
specimen iu iny possession weighs
one pound and ten ounce, and holds
exactly two and a half pints.
Most of the specimens described
above were brought out of the cave by
the young men on their return to day
light and removed to the hotel at Au
gusta, where they continue to attract
crowds of the curiously inclined.
They will ultimately be sent to one of
the scientific institutions of the coun
try, probably to the Smithsonian.
The country in the neighborhood of
this wonderful cavern is full of ex
citement, hundreds of people flocking
to the place, though few venture be
yond ibo entrance. The owner of
tills land, Mr. Veach, is very jubilant,
and has declined, I am told, large of
fers for the place. A further explora
tion will be made shortly under scien
tific auspices, when a more complete
account of the discovery will be given.
A Georgia Phenomenon.
Rich Hill in Crawford Comity Grad
ually Sinking in.
[Fort Valley Mirror.
One of the wonderful phenomena of
i the country, aud' of which very little is
known, even to those who have spent
1 their lives almost within its very shad
ow is Rich Hill, located in Crawford
i county, about twelve miles from this I
place. Mr. Gray Anderson, one of the I
oldest citizens of the county, give us
some interesting information which wo
would like to give our readers had we |
the time and space. The hill abounds
in specimens of pure lime stone
rocks, tusks and limb bones of icons
j ter wild animals like the mastodon, to
i gether with the remains of extinct
’ genera and species of smaller quadru
peds; shells arid other conchological
curiosities of the great deep, consis
ting of petrified fish bones, inollusca,
etc.
Gen. Bennett, a northern
■ burnt large quantities of lime from
these formations twenty-five years ago
j for commercial purposes. Mr. An
drews says during the last ten years
one side of the hill has gradually sunk
in leaving apertures in the rock large
enough to insert fence rails. On top
it covers nearly 20 acres, and there is a
farm, with farm houses and a gentle
man living there far above all of his
neighbors, in the surrounding country.
; The hill can be see for miles, and it is
] said that on a very clear day, smoko
arising from dwellings and machine
i shops in the city of Macon can be seen
very easily.
Important Information
r Americas Republican.]
For the information of our read
ers wo give below a few important
changes made by the last legislature,
in reference to certain laws, which it
will do well for all interested to ol>-
| serve:
Justices of the peace have no long
er the right bylaw to award costs
against the accused or the prosecutor,
at discretion.
Jury,— ln all casos of forcible en
i try and detainer tried bv justice oftlm
! peace, jury is required to bo drawn
! from all the persons iu the district
subject to jury duty.
Tax receivers are required hereaf
ter to enter on their digests the first
name in full of tax payers. Let no
fallow get wearied now for having to
give his full name.
Mortgages. —The law now requires
mortgages on real and persoual prop
| orty to be recorded in thirty daysir.-
I stead of throe months. Mortgages
jon personalty must be recorded in
the county when the property at tl e
time of the execution of the mortgage
is out of the county of the mortgag
ors residence.
Summons. —The law requires all
summons to bo date fifteen days be
fore the time of the trial of the cause,
if the amount i& "fifty dollars or under;
and bear date twenty days before
trial, when the amount is over fifty
dollars, and to be served upon the de
fendant, by giving him a copy, or
leaving a copy at his usual and most
notorious place of residence, at least
ten days before the trial.
Change. —The only change made in
the school law was to empower coun
ty school commissioners and members
of the board of education to adminis
ter oaths when necessasy. The sec
tion requiring the fund to the distrib
uted on the basis of school popula
tion in tho sub-districts, was repealed
and the fund will hereafter be distrib
uted on the basis of population in the
entire county. This is much better
than the sub-district plan.
Child Born with Full Board and
Other Singular Features.
[St, Joseph (Mo) Heinlil.]
A Avaman living on Alain street last
evening gave birth to twins which,
| while but a short hour apart in age,
] are as were Esau and Jacob. One is
I very dark haired and the other is chal
ky white. The forms is what we
would call a lusus natnrie, one eye is
as blue as indigo, while t’go other is as
black as a coal. Its nose is booked
like a parrot and its ears are shaped
like a wolf. Its mouth is shaped
naturally enough, but two fully devel
oped tusks protrude from tbq gi mp,
I giving the appearance of a young boar
ffig-
The face of tLis wonderful produc
tion is covered with a fuzz, forming a
beard as strong as most youths of
seventeen sport. The child has three
hands, one of these useful appenda
ges being double-barreled as it were.
; Of course it is very small, but the fPr
j matiou is perfect, with fingers and
; nails to im t:K The cli 11 is bow-leg
! god, and one foot is much larger than
the other. Dr. Smith, who delivered
! the twins, bears testimony to the cor
; redness of this statement, and pro
poses to have a general consultation
|of the faculty over this remarkable
I freak of nature.
John Bateman Smith saw Grant on
the street, the other day, and de
j scribes him as follows, in a letter to
; the Fayetteville Express: “The Pres
: ident’s face is not pleasant to look up
j on. Intemperance has set its seal
! there, and the natural outlines are.
swelled to hideous proportions by al
: coliolic stimulants. Ulysses S. Grant, I
as a private individual,’would lie pro
| nouuced on sight a devout worship- \
er at the shrine of John Barleycorn;,
but Ulysses S. Grant, President of the
| United States, with a multitude of |
offico-liolders at his back, is simply
j described as a rather stout and florid
j person, with mild penchant for di
| luted spirits.”
A Present ok Old 'Whisky for Gen.
Grant.— We saw at the express office
a few days since a package addressed
to (leu. U. S. Grant, at Washington,
and learning on inquiry that it was a
cause of old Lexington Glub whisky,
shipped him by Messrs. Jackson k
Ileed, of this city. Belli of these gen
tlemen were formerly rebel soldiers,
but concluding that nepotism anil
Belknapping sprang rather from the
character of the whisky he drank than
from his innate vicionsuess, detewnin- j
ed to correct the evils of the adminis
tration to some extent be sending the
President somo good old-fashioned
Bourbon, such as he never drank be
fore. —Lex in <ito n J’ress.
The People Want Proof.
There is no medicine prescribed by
physicians, or sold by Druggists, that
i carries such evidence of its success
i and superior virtue as Boschee’s Ger
; man Syrup for severe Coughs, Colds
settled on the Breast, Consumption, or
any disease of the Throat and Lungs.
A proof of that fact is that any per
son afflicted, can get a Sample Bottle i
for 10 cents and try its superior ef-;
fects before buying the regular size at
75 cents. It has lately been intro
duced in this country from Germany,
and its wonderful cures are astonish
ing to everyone that use it. Three
doses wilt relieve any case. Try it. I

Mu. J. T. Cheatham.- Last spring J
| bought Home of your line cotton seeds'. I
have been raised with cotton, but yours is
beyond doubt the tinest- I have c.ve<y seen.
It lias yielded one hundred and fifty pounds
to sixty-five stalks, some bolls with fifteen
locks to each bob ! I want more of the
seed. John Ralls.
Midville, Ga. , October 3d, 1874.
Mr. J. T. Cheatham.— I bought of
your cotton seeds last year at $1 per hun
dred seeds. I would not take fifty cents
per seed and be without them. A man can
make from three to seven bales of cotton
per acre from these seeds, if Li* will do his
; duty. W. L. Coleman.
Sumpter. S. C.. Sent;. 4. 1875.
i hereby certify that 1 bougnt some of
Cheatham’s Prolific Cotton seed, and plant
ed about one-third of an acre. It is the
' heaviest fruited cotton I ever saw: and I ex
pect to gath-r one bale from the same,
weighing five hundred pounds.
Oconee, Ga.. Oct. 9th, 1875.
Mr. John T. Cheatham, Dear Sir.—The
cotton seed Mrs. Hrnitfi bought, from you to
; plant an aer? of laud, had many mishaps,
i The evening after planting a severe storm
with heavy rain so packed the land that not
more than one-third of the seed came up; it
was, though, replanted early and the sens*
misfortune of a heavy rain prevented a stand,
and getting more seed, as you recollect,
more seed for replanting, it was* even
i lourtli time replanted, before getting n
stand, making great irregularity, and of
course with such unfavorable seasons of hot
and dry weather ha visited us, such irregu
larity would be disastrous.
Had a good stand and propitious season
attended Mrs. Smith’s efforts with your seed,
, we are sure the crop would have been large.
| About two thousand pounds of cotton has
: been picked, and Mrs, S. is greatly p’eased
i with the cotton, and experiment, and pro
poses to enter in earnest for your prize for
the best acre of your cotton next year.
We find two varieties in your cotton, some
! prefering one, whilst others prefer the oth- j
er. Your genuine twin or double boll, fruit-;
. ing so heavily and near the stalk falls to the
' ground, which is objectionable, whilst the 1
; variety with more stalk and limbs fruits fine-;
Iv, and is now standing erect, this I prefer, !
whilst some condemn.
In picking the cotton we fmd one hun
dred bolls weighs one and a half pounds of
cotton. The bolls are. large,’ and the cotton j
holding in. not yielding to storms, is also a (
recommendation. Yours in respect,
T. J. SMITH,
Master of Ga. State Grange, j
PREMIUMS FOR 187(5.
I offer a premium of SI,OOO (one thousand

THE WEEKLY SUN.
1770, NEW YORK. 18711.
Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the
j Centennial year. It is also the year in
I which an Opposition House of Representa
i fives, the first since the war, will bo in pow
! erat Washington; and the year of the tweii-
I ty-third election of a President of the United
| States All of these events are sure to be of
j great interest and importance, especially
i flic latter; and all of them and everything
j connected with them will be fully reported
and expounded in The Sun.
The Opposition Ilnuso of Representatives,
taking up the line of inquiry opened years
ago by The Sun, will sternly and dilligently
investigate the corruption and misdeeds of
Grant s administration, and will, it is to be
hoped, lay the foundation for anew and
bettor period iu our national history. Of
all this The Sun will contain complete and
accurate accounts, furnishing its readers
with early anil trustworthy information
upon these absorbing topics.
'l’lie twenty-third Presidential election,
with the preparations for it, will be Memo
rable as deciding upon Grant’s aspiration
lr a third term of power and plunder, and
stiil more as deciding who shall be the ean
pidute of tlm party of Reform, and as elec
ting that candidate. Concerning all these
subjects, those who read The Sun \Vill have
the constant means qf being thoroughly well
informed.
'The Weekly Sun, which has attained a
circulation of over eight thousand copies,
already has its readers in every Shite ami
Territory, and we trust that tlie year 1870
will see their numbers doubled. It will be
a thorough newspaper. All the general
news of the day will be found in it. condens
ed when unimportant, at full length when
of moment; and always, we trust, treated in
a clear, interesting and instructive man
ner.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the
best family newspaper in the world, and we
shall continue to give in its columns a large
amount of miscellaneous reading, such as
stories, tales, poems, scientific intelligence
i and agricultural information, for which we
! are not able to make room in our daily edi
! tion. The agricultural department especial
ly is one of its prominent features. The
fashions are also regularly reported in its
columns; and so are the market of every
kind.
The Weekly .Sun, eighty pages with fifty
six broad columis is only $1.20 a year,

Hoad what tlie Rev. Dr. J.ovlckPierce
says of Thrash’s Consumptive Cure.
Dear Jlrulh'r Damns:
Excuse ine for writing only when I am
deeply interested. I have been voiceless
about two months, could not read and pray
in a family, I tried many tilings, got no
benefit from anything. Since Conference
someone sent me from Americas a bottle of
Thrush's Consumptive Cure and Lung Re
storer, which 1 havo been taking, this is Ihc
ninth day. I can talk now with some ease.
I came here, among other things, to supply
myself with this medicine. What druggists
I have seen have none on sale. I must have
it. I want you to go to Mr. Thrash in per
son and show this letter to them and make
them send me by express to Sparta. On.,
two, three or four bottles, as suits them
best, and send bill. I am getting on finely.
