Juliette was the starting point for the ex cursion and at every station till At lanta was reached the crowd yvas added to,—big, little, old and young piled in until two trains of eight coaches each were, packed. Oi v,, 'SC on si eh an occasion as this a «ody expects to be walked over, sat upon, bumped again*!, toes stepped on, dust begrimed, etc. Girls, as usual, forgot fans, and t sticking their heads out of d ows j ost their Sunday hats. 11S tbe train stops a t some Nation several never-te-still young fellows must needs get off and run into the little store and thereby see the train move off without them.

At Cunningham Station we enter Vann’s Valley, where tlio railroad runs for miles through a beautiful level whore not a cut or fill two feet deep is to be seen, the ica J lying at the fi-oi of the mountain, with prut- 4y t>»ick residen'es and big barns, !S fp*tnd:d.

The Spring is indeed a mag nificent curiosity, .tie immense quantity of water cou.hl readily run a mill, and a pin can be plainly seen through s : x or eight feet of water, which is fine to drink. On the side oi tne mountain, about one hundred and fifty fief (slant hejghth) from the Spring is the mouth of the Cave. An udmis ion of ten cents is paid, and a lighted candle furnished. About 3 JO had gone down abend of me and, looking down,, the hun dreds ot little candles seemed like twinkling stars. O.io hundred fee! down from the entrance, at the bot tarn of the Cave, we see by can lie light the s.ubteiranoan stream that gushes from the mountain hundreds ot feet away. This is the real Cave Spring. A live duck was once. dropped into this stream and made its way out unhurt through ail un dorgiound route of over one him die ! feet. In this cave of solid rock arc quite a number of rooms, of all sizes and shapes. Passing from one of these apartments to another, we had to crawl through a tunnel o! at lea-4 thirty feet and in this room we found a bed of dead coals and a pile of ashes, and a certain Jones county man yelled out, “Let’s gel out, boys, Hades is certainly not far off.'’ The inspecting crowd, con fainmg about an equal number of gentlemen and lad'es, all enjoyed the underground ramble and thought the scone fine and one not soon to he forgotten. The air h said to be perfectly pure and is cool, the si la Wi.lis are “humpy” and rough, while overhead hangs num berless large 1 ronzed icicles, break through the bronze outside and you find pure white io"k. Juri out of the cave the air is oppressive in the extreme and one l’-.els faint and pants for breath, At 4 o’clock p. m. all leave the park and wend their way to the de pot, where, after the usual flurry, with “all aboard” at 4:30 with a whistle and a whiz wo are on' the return trip. Never heard so many | expressions of pleasure at one days holiday by n crowd who was lively ard jovial lo the end of the trip.

Be faithful to the principles of your order.—Ex. -- Learn to make a dollar and live on ninety cents of it. - To get out of debt, lesson your ex ponses and increase prolits. Study your business as closely as does the merchant, the manufactur er, the physician and the lawyer. Rely more on your brains and en ergy and industry and economy and you will grow more independent. . The (Ucniprs’ wives Can help out ns much as the man. They can save up eggs, butter, chickens, etc., and pay for a great dial of thing3, and m fact almost everything that a small family would use. Farmers should give their sons something in the way of a horse, cow, pig, or something of the kind iu order to get them in a good spiri', and then something can he done.

Judge I’ilsbury J of America lui* the C.nr icr, a pap3i-printed .... m i any in 1864, by J.mos & D ckinsen, with Francis 1. Wheaton as unitor, It contains the legal advertisements of seven counties, including Sum ter county, and showed up a rood local advertising patronage. The judge f mud several volumes of this pap"r while moving from tlie old court house to the new one. At Americas, abo-ut a month ago, Charley Pin'ips, son of W.S Philips, stuck a lit' go splinter neatly through his foot. The doctor ox ti rated the splint-r, which measured two irdies. Bince that lime he bus been troubled a great deal with the loot, and Fiiday, while examining the place discovered another splin ter which he pulled out himself. It measured 1 1-2 inches in length,am! has been in his foot all this time. Sometime since at the cribs of James and Will Patrick, on the Thrasher farm, in Walton Comity’ there was mi immense rat killing. A party of men and boys with three active d g*, on two seperate rainy 'lays, s'ew by actual count .300 grown rata, to say nothing cf mice an 1 frying-size rats, it was found in one crib that twelve bu-hels of she led corn had been cutoflTthe cars the rat* having had access to a large pi'e of shucked corn. In the oJicr crib it was thought even more com than that had be-n cut off. The well o.i Broad street, Albany, that vent-latei t he subterranean dram passage, is being cleaned out. This well lias a lus'ory which is ol considerable interest. Twenty-five years ago the bottom fell out of a town well, which occupied that position in the streets, and a large part of the street cawd in aroitiid it, leaving an ugly and dangerous* sink in the middle of the street. This occurence discovered the subterran ean passage now used as a sewer. An opening was effected to it after much difficulty from the vacant lot in the corner of Farkas’ Btables. The well was bucked up from the bottom and the work of tilling in arouud was begun. It required a longtime and a groat deal of dirt to fill in the hole, but it was fl».ally filled, and has proved a great advantage to the city by giving it an important subterran ean revver.
