MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY.
Covington, Va., Feb. 9, '50.
About the 20th of January last, as a
lot of hands were laboring on the Cen
tral railroad, in this county on 3Ir. Ca
dy's section, they cut into a large open
ing, and they continued the cutting or
excavation, until the hole grew to be
about 10 1-2 feet deep, and six feet wide,
and not very rugged. The cut is about
300 feet from the river, (Jackson's.) On
the following Sunday, some of the hands
penetrated into the hole, they say, about
400 feet, and that its course was direct
towards the river, and that they could
hear very distinctly the roaring of the
water in the river. This being the case,
some of the hands, with a few neighbors,
determined to explore a little farther.
They went in about two o'clock in the
morning, seven in number, and when
they had progressed as far as they tho't
the middle of the river, a stream of wa
ter, about the size of a man's arm, was
pouring from the roof of the cave, in a
bowl or a pool, and not perceptibly esca
ping anywhere ; but, of course it passed
off through some sink hole, and entered
into the river at some point below. They
went around the pool and continued, as
they judged, in a direct course, until the
track commenced ascending, and a little
winding in its course. They came into
a large opening or room, with the ap
pearance of being perfectly round, and
its large as the largest sized house. They
found some difficulty in getting out of this
place, as the ground ascended very rap
idly. Immediately out of this place they
came on a perfectly level table, or floor,
about fifty feet square, and about ten feet
high. Here they sat down to rest them
selves upon a stone, and while louno-ino-about
in this room, they discovered a
man, and on close examination it was
found to be a dead man. He had by his
side a full huntsman's equipment. lie
was found in the position of a man sleep
ing, and what is remarkable, he had not
decomposed, but seemed to have gone
through a process of drying, and when
touched would crumble to pieces like dry
dirt. One of the party took hold of one
foot, and almost as quick as thought it
left the leg. They did not disturb the
corpse any further, and proceeded on
their journey. In a few minutes they
discovered daylight, which was found to
proceed from a hole or cave on the north
side of the river, which had never been
penetrated by any person to our knowl
edge. They came out and crossed the
river on the bridge.
On the fallowing day, ten or twelve of
the neighbors entered the cave through
the same opening that. the former party
had come out, and proceeded directlv to
the dead man, and upon close examina
tion they found a pocket-book containing
papers, but no money. Among the pa
pers are seven bonds, some for large
amounts ; one for $G,o00, dated in the
year 1823 ; some others are dated 1820 ;
all of which were given or signed by old
settlers in this and Bath county ; and if
tlie circumstances under which the bonds
have been kept from the light, will bar
the limitation law, (as I have no doubt it
will) some of our very worthy men will
k .,1 J . ,
1'uu.m iii iiiuier embarrassing circum
stances, as they will be held responsible
for the bonds to the full extent of the
property inherited by them as heirs of
the signers of the bonds.
The bonds are all made payable to
donn A. Lross, who lived on and owned
what was called the old Hansbarger Sur
vey, in the lower end of this county.
Some of our people seem to have some
idea of the man, and think, that it was
thought, at the time, that he was drowned ;
but as all is rumor, and every person
with a notion of his own, and as the case
has had but a short consideration, I will
write you again, when the case and the
circumstances shall have assumed some
fhape, as I have no doubt they will.

SUGAR-MAKING.
The time for making maple sugar is
now at hand. There are questions of
economy, of scientific and unscientific ar
rangements for the manufacture, which,
at the present time, it would do well to
consider. 3Iost of us, or at least those
who have reached middle age, remember
the primitive mode pursued in elabora
ting the saccharine principle, which was
something as follows :
In the midst of a dense forest of ma
ples and other trees commingled, with
the ground encumbered by underbrush
and fallen, half-decayed trunks, the trees
were tapped, it may be by a ghastly
wound inflicted with an axe a rude spile
was inserted, and the drippings were re
ceived into troughs formed from the half
section of a moderate sized tree. The
encumbered state of the ground render
ing it impossible to penetrate the bush
with a team, a neck yoke and a pair of
buckets were called into requisition for
the purpose of collecting the sap as it
exudes from the tree. This was collected
and brought once or twice a day to a cen
tral point, where a huge cauldron, and
perhaps one or two five pail kettles were
swung upon a pole sustained by crotches,
up against which were rolled on either
side a green log of wood, and under and
around the kettles was piled the fuel.
As the flames and current of heated air
and smoke rolled up beside the boilers, a
furious ebullition was kept up within,
and, to prevent the sap from wasting over
the side, a piece of fat pork was occa
sionally added. On the principle of Es-
ty's ventilators, the upward current of
smoke and flame opening further and
further until it reached the top of the
kettles, formed above them a partial vac
uum, into which were whirled soot and
ashes, scorched leaves and cinders, and
then very gently dropped into the boiliu
fluid. The wood used for fuel was gen
erally green, or at least dead or fallen
timber, cut and split each day as required.
It need not be said that such a process
was laborious, unscientific, uneconomical,
that there was a vast waste of fuel, and
an inferior production.
The process of sugar making is very
simple, and consists merely in evapora
ting the water which holds the sugar in
solution, and obtaining the latter in a state
of comparative dryness. The chief re
quisites, therefore, consist in using fuel
economically, in warding of all extrane
ous matter, and in presenting as large an
evaporating surface to the air as possible.
These requisites are obtained by usin"- a
shallow sheet iron pan set in an arch, in
keeping the sap free from leaves and
dirt, and in using dry and well prepared
wood. A difference of opinion exists as
to the preference of a bit or gouge in tap
ping ; but either will do if care be taken
to wound the tree as little as possible.
Sap troughs should never be used ; the
labor required to prepare them will pay
for wooden buckets, which are infinitely
to be preferred. The latter can proba
bly be obtained by the quantity at twelve
and a half cents each, and, if properly
cared tor will hist a hie time. Tin buck
ets are a superb article, but somewhat
expensive. A good tin bucket holding
ten quarts, shaped like a flaring tin pail,
and having the wire over which the tin
is turned at the top bent into the form of
a loop for suspending the bucket, costs,
by the hundred, twenty-seven cents. It
is a question for each man to decide for
himself, whether he can pay that price for
tin buckets, and if he can he may be sure
that nothing can be better.
The bush should be cleared of brush
and logs, so as to be penetrable in all di
rections with an ox team. A common
wood sled carrjing a couple of of hogs
heads, will serve for collecting the sap
with facility, which should be strained to
remove any leaves or other foreign mat
ter. A kettle, set in the" arch beyond the
pan, so as to partially heat the sap before
passing it iutu the pan, will be advan
tageous. After the sap has been evapo
rated to the consistence of syrup, or thin
molasses, it should be strained off thro'
a thick woolen cloth, and suffered to stand
several days, until it has deposited all its
sediment; after which the clear syrup
should be carefully poured off, leaving the
sediment behind.
A little skill and experience will deter
mine the precise point at which the final
evaporation should be arrested, and the
"sugaring off" completed. The process
of cleansing consists ia mingling with the
syrup, before it has become much heated,
any albuminous substance, such as blood,
eggs, milk, Sec. This coagulates by heat!
mechanically enclosing the particles of
matter floating in the fluid, and then rises
to the surface, whence it is easily removed
by the skimmer. The refineries make
use of blood, which is collected in im
mense quantities at the metrnnnKr.n
slaughter houses.
i -'
There are two objections to the farm
er making use of this material; one is,
that he is not killing animals at this sea
son of the year, and blood is therefore
difficult to obtain and the other !. W
however efficient blood may be as a puri-
fier, the idea of its use for such purposes
is somewhat offensive to fastidious per
sons. As milk and eggs are perfectly
satisfactory and always attainable, their
use is to be preferred. The sugar may
be stirred off, put into tubs aud drained,
cast into cakes, or otherwise disposed at
finally as each individual chooses for him
self. We hope our farmer j will endeavor,
during the present season, to manufac
ture at least a portion of their own sugar,
and thus aid in relieving the pressure
which at present exists upon the trade.
TARTAR SHEEP.
In a communication, originally pub
lished in the Progressive Farmer, Dr.
Emerson, of Philadelphia, gives some in
teresting information relative to this new
breed of sheep, lately introduced into the
United States from China. He describes
them as of good size, with prominent or
Roman noses, ears drooping forward, and
agreeably expressive faces, which are
covered with fine glossy hair. The fleece
is unshrinkable, and best adapted to felt
ing purposes and the coarser fabrics.
The value of the breed, he thinks, con
sists mainly in the remarkable facility it
offers to supply animal food of the most
excellent quality, almost at pleasure, the
ewes having lambs twice a year, and from
two to foar at a time. An ewe belong
ing to him brought three lambs in Feb
ruary, 185r, all of which were raised to
maturity. Early in November she had
two lambs more, whilst her two Febru
ary ewe-lambs each brought a lamb at
the same time, making her a grandmoth
er in nine months, and her progeny with
in that time no less than seven !
With respect to the qualities of the
meat, the Doctor states that, yU in
China several years ago, he was not a
little surprised to observe the eagerness
manifested for mutton. Although ca
pons, game and other luxuries were com
mon upon the tables, he never saw a leg
of Tartar mutton introduced where any
thing was left but bones. He at first at
tributed this relish for mutton to its high
price, ordinarily about 50 cents per pound.
But he was afterwards convinced, that,
after making due allowance for the cost,
there was still more due to the intrinsic
good qualities of the meat, which is en
tirely free from any wooly or other disa
greeable taste, and remarkably delicate.

ADVICE FROM EXPERIENCE
The writer of the following, which we
find in the Rural New Yorker, is exten
sively known as one of the most success
ful farmers in the Empire State. No one
in the country has so thoroughly drained
and manured on a large scale as Mr.
Johnson; and none have received better
returns for their investment.
" I recollect you asked me at the On
tario Co. Fair what I would do first on
a farm in ordinary cultivation. I said
drain it ; but I would make the fences
good. I would then put on no more stock
than I was sure would always have plenty
of pasture. Then I would go to drain
ing, and at the same time, or in the fall
commence making good manure by feed
ing all my coarse grain to sheep or cattle.
lake one year with another, I have al
ways realized more money for in that way
than I could have done had I sold it for
cash at once, and beside I was enriching
my land greatly for other crops. I bave
often bought a thousand bushels of coarse
grain for feeding and some years more.
For fifteen years I have fed from 400 to
1200 bushels of oil cake meal, annually,
over and above my corn. I have never
taken or sent a load of corn or oats to
market since I lived here, (over thirty-
four years,) and if I had to begin again I
would feed still more oil cake meal and

To Preserve Lard Sweet. Instead
of putting it into large vessels, put it
in stone crocks or jars, of from one to
four gallons each ; when cooling or thick
ening, put in your salt, which will mix
through the lard, instead of settling on
the bottom of the crock. The nextday
take clean bits of cotton cloth, rather
larger than the top of the vessel, and af
ter putting it smoothly down,and pressing
the edges snugly around so as to exclude
all air, pack in a close layer of salt, then
lay over another piece of cotton cloth, and !
turn over it a plate or a cover which will
fit tightly; then tie over it two thick
nesses of paper, and set it in a cool, dry
place. In this way I have kept lard per-
itxiiy sweet eighteen months. Crocks of
butter should be kept in the same way

Effects of Climate on TFool.
All flock masters are aware that a poor
soil with short and sweet herbage, and a
cold, clear atmosphere, produces the finest
wool ; and that, on the contrary, a rich
soil and warm climate deteriorate the
quality. Thus, sheep sent from England
to the West Indies soon exhibit hair
rather han wool on their backs; but
when brought back to England, it recov
ers its quality in season JLW Lane

WARM DRINK FOR COWS, j
3Iy cow dropped her calf August 27,
1855. At tbe age of four weeks it was
taken away. She then gave fourteen
quarts daily, and continued to do so as
long as the warm weather lasted. When
I put her in the barn for the winter, I
adopted the following plan for feeding,
viz : 1 pint cob meal, 1 pint rice meal,
and 1 quart shorts, with 1-2 bushel cut
hay, twice a day. The quantity of milk
decreased daily, until she gave but seven
quarts. I had allowed her all this time
to drink from a tub in my yard.
About the middle of December, I fed
her in this manner : 1 pint oil meal, 1
pint cob meal, 1 quart shorts, mixed with
hot water in the form of sw-ill, after stand
ing half an hour. I give it to her morn
ing and night, and one-half peck of car
rots at noon. All the water she drinks
is warmed in the proportion of one quart
of warm water to one pailfull of cold. At
present she gives ten or twelve quarts
daily. Her dry hay is English rowen
and husks in equal qantities.

Gkaftixg the Cheery. The great
secret of success is to set the scions very
early in the season, before the sap makes
the least start. In ordinary seasons, I
graft in February, usually during the
first or second week, and in all other re
spects, just as the apple is grafted. If
the grafting be deferred until the sap
commences flowing, all efforts will be
useless, but if attended to before this,
they will succeed as readily and as surely
as the apple, come into bearing in two
years, and bear regularly and bountifully
thereafter.
lairitovEMENT ik Soap. The wife
of an American agriculturist has been ex
perimenting in soaps, and finds that the
addition of three quarters of a pound of
borax to a pound of soap, melted with
out boiling, making a saving of one-half
in the cost of soap, and of three-fourths
the labor of washing, improve the white
ness of the fabrics, besides the usual caus
tic effect is thus removed, and the hands
are left with a peculiar soft and silky
feeling, leaving nothing more to be de
sired by the most ambitious washerwo
man.
Beet Steaks. The beets, after being
washed carefully, may be baked either
whole like sweet potatoes, or in slices,
and then served up hot with butter, pep
per, &c, to the taste. There is a delicious
flavor in beets cooked in this way, which
is lost when they are boiled. The
best sort for this purpose, are Bassano,
Waite's dwarf black, and turnip blood

gF A close chamber is a better place
to keep apples than a cellar. Apples
bear freezing once without injury, if they
are not handled till thawed. Linen cloth
laid on or around apples prevent injury
from freezing. Apples have been found
in good order in the spring, that have
lain in barrels under the trees all winter.
SHARP CORRESPONDENCE.
One of the Peter Funk " Gift Enter
prise" firms in a large city, sent a pack
age of tickets to a postmaster in Maine,
the postage upon which was fifteen cents
unpaid. They got the following hard rap
over the knuckles from the indignant of
ficial:
" I herewith return your tickets. You
must be fools as well as knaves to sup
pose that I will aid you in swindling my
neighbors, and pay aU Hie expenses my
self." To which he in a few days received
the annexed 'settler':
'Sir : We perhaps owe you an anolno-v
for
i- sending the parcel, postage unpaid.
'As we infer from the phraseolozv of
your note, that you are willing to swin
dle your neighbors if we will pay all the
expenses, please give us yourlowest terms
on which you will act as our agent.
P. S. All communications shall be
strictly confidential.'
The note was promptly returned with
the following endorsement across its face,
by the Post-master :
'It seems you are not only fooh and
knaves but blackguards also. Ask my
neighbors if they think I would 'swindle'
them, either at my own expense, or that
of any one else.'
To which this answer came back by
next mail :
' We have inquired of your neighbors
Ions a?o. and tWc tl,o ,- ,

to you in the first instance.'
Here follows the Post-master's final
reply :
' I acknowledge the corn. Send us
your street and number, so that I can
call on you when I come to the city, and
ma7 conclude to aid your 'enterprise.'
But that was the last thing that the
'Gift' gentlemen could think of doing
