meet's KuumU Care.
Vermont has a mysterious care which I
for generations has been regarded by '
the oonntry folks as the headquarters
for hobgoblins or other residents of
spirit land. A newspaper msn lately
explored its depths to a limited extent
and says he found a wonderful freak of
natnr* of i!*u
large flasue in the side of the mountain
bordering on Maidstone Lake, in the
town of Maidstone. A chamber twenty
feet deep and ten feet high, encased in
solid walls of ioe, leads to a huge chamber
jm which is a spring of unusual size,
Dubblihg in a little pond. The water
dashes down a steep incline through a
tunnel, and then falls over a precipice
so high Chat the pound of the falling
water can not be heard. By following
a circuitous route down a steep incline
for a distance of 100 yards the explorcrs
reached the brook attain in another
big chamber tilled with level boulders |
of granite apparently disloged from the
rooi ot the cave by earthquakes. The
explorers followed the course of the
brook agd emerged from the cave on
tho opposite side of the mountain, a
distance o' nearly two miles overland
from where they entered. Tho cave is
one of immense size, and contoins
many chambers which tho explorers
did not daro enter without tho proper
instruments for measuring distances
and apparatus for scaling the preci>
pices which are known to exist.?Now
