Cedar Grove Quite a number visited the Old Man's Cave last Sunday. It is suid that the old man arid' his dog, though buried over a century ago, still visits the cave dally which bears his name, Tho old man with giay hair and. long white board, carrying a gun on his shoulder, and leading n largo white dog, walks up and down the cave evory day. This fact was votified last Sunday, when Messrs. Kreig and Ilillis, of Logan, were entertaining the crowd with rope and swing. The old man and his dog were seen entering the cave from the west, he had a flint lock gun on his left shoulder nnd a large white dog walked by his aide. He oame up into the crowd, not a word diil ho apeak to anyone, but earnestly watched Mr. Hiilis aa he was descending on a rope to Cedar Valley Creek, over ICO feet. He gazed with eager interest, at Mr. Kreig while he was swinging across Cedar Valley Creek, some 50 feet above the waters. The old man then paBeed on east, where the two Misses Dickons aud Mesars. Carpenter and Frampton of Logan, were gathering ferns and mosses, here he paused for about 15 or 20 minutes and watched these young people deco rating themselves with spruce and wild flowers, with which the cave is infested. Now he passed on north a few rods where Messrs. Lewis, Vern and George Coukle and Herbert Lovesey were amusing themselves by rolling rocks into Cedar Creek some 50 feet below. Here the old man walked up io the edge of the rocks and leaned over so tliut be could watch the rooks in their precipitation till they struck the water below. He then turned west again, and started back the same direction ho came, only a little farther north. He had trayeled only 20 or 25 rods when ho came pnst where Mr. Frank Lindsey an J Miss Cora Linn were seated on n rock engaged in pleas ant conversation. The young lady not knowing of tho strange visitor became frightened when she saw the old nun with gruy hair and long white-heard standing in front of them, and fainted away, but by administering opiates she was re vived. The old man looked at Miss Icel Davis with a smile, who waa standing near about ready to get soared and run away, aa if to say, I did not oomo hero to fright en anyone, especially young ladies. He now wont to the base of tho rof-k near by, and looked into a cavern that was supposed to bo the placo wuuro tho old man and'' his dog slept. This placo was legibly marked in English print. Neur tills place there seems to he a de pression in tho ground about two feet below the elevation of the cave, All eyes now seemed to be fixed on tho old man and his dog to see where they would go next, what was their surprise when the old man and his dog, almost In the twinkling of an eye, eank down into tho ground In the above named depression, Tlmro is a tradition left for ua that the old man and his dog wero exhumed, and there was found in their oasket a writing stating, that the old man was a trapper, that he aud twenty others, hud located on Cedar Valley Creek in 1750, they weio of English descent. The old man chose the cave for his abode while liis companions liyadin tents along Cedar Valley. Their occu pation was trapping und their furs were gathered up at igu)ar inter vals by ngeutB, Here they lived in collonlal times and they all be came rich, They also found English coins und periodicals that Were printed about the time the Btamp uot was passed. It was al so stated that the old man diet and was burled by Ills companions III the year 1778 and tliat his only dog, that hud been his companion fr years,., was placed alive in the 'casket beslds "hTe" masteT ml buriod.

"Will you please examine that diamond," said a man who stepped into a jewelry shop, "and tell me what you think of it? If it is a good stone, I think I will buy it." The jeweler took the gem, which waa unset, and looked at it critically for a moment. Then, in confiden tial tones, he said : "Well, to tell yon the truth, that isn't a very good stone. Jt- hasn't much fire, it is badly cut, and there is something here that looks very much like a flaw." Then he held the diamond under a microscope and examined it very carefully, finally observing: i$o, it isn't exactly a flaw, but I shouldn't call it a perfect stone. Now, if you want something really fine, I liavo here " "Excuse me," the other man in terrupted, "but I will not buy n (lift5 mond to-day. This is a slone that one of your men lot me take on Sat urday on approval. I tlepositted $50 on it. Please let mo have my money, and we will call the deal off."
