The cost and interest may now amount to one hundred." 4There are two one hundred dollar bills,' said the stranger, "pay what thou owest. I shall leave a deposite in the bank, where you can chaw for two hundred dullars a year as luig as you live.' By this time, the people without were impatient and could r,ot divine the cause of the privacy between our two heroes. They went out, took some refreshment, the stranger returned to his company, and the old soldier went to the lawyer's i.fiice and paid his debt. He then went to the tailors and procured a suit of clothes. The next day the old soldier and the stranger departed together, leaving the people to conjecture the cause of the metamorphosis of the one and the strange conduct of the other. The old soldier, however, returned to his village in a few weeks, and the people who before w ould scarcely speak to him, unless it was for the purpose of telling him to get out of the way, were all glad to see him. He nevertheless, pursued the '-even tenor of his w ay." That stranger was General Lafayette. llockct-ler Republican.

ANC1LNT CAYLUX. On the Ohio, twenty miles below the mouth of tl.e Wabash, is a cavern, in which are found many hieroglyphics and representations of such delineations as would induce the belief, that their authors were, indeed, comparatively relined and civilized.

It is a cavern, in a rock, or ledge of

the mountain, which presents itself to view a little above the water of the river w hen in flood, and is situated close to t!ie Lank. In the early settlement of Ohio, this cave became possessed by a party cf Kentuckians, called 'Wilson's Gang.' Wilson, in the first place,

brought his family to this cave, and fit-

led it up as a spacious d welling, erect-

rig a si$i pot on the w ater side, on

which were these words 'Wilson's Li-

rods in length,' and live in width: its entrance presents a width of eighty feet at its base, and twenty-five high. The interior walls are smooth rocks. The floor is very remarkable, being level through the whole length of its centre, the sides rising in stony grades, in the manner of seats in the pit of a theatre. On a diligent scrutiny of the walls, it is plainly discerned that the ancient inhabitants at a very remote period, had made use of the cave as a house of deliberation and council. The walls bear many hieroglyphics well e xecuted: ai.d some of them represent animals, which have no resemblance to any now known in natural history. This cavern is a great natural curiosity, as it is connected with another still more gloom-, which is situated exactly above, united by an aperture of about fourteen feet; which, to ascend, is like passing up a chimney, while the mountain is yet far above. Not long aftep the dispersion and arrest of the robbers, who had infested it, in the upper vault were found the skeletons of about sixty persons, w ho had been

murdered by the aang of uson, as was supposed. But the tokens of antiquity are still more curious and important, than a description of the meie cave, w hich are found engraved on its sides within. In this cave, it appears, that in addition to numerous familiar animals and devices, there are sketched on the rock the figures of several animals now extinct; among which are three, much resembling the elephant, the tail and tusks excepted. It would be passing the bounds of credulity to suppose the artists who delineated those figures, would represent no less than eight animals, differing in their configuration, one from the other, which had in reality no being, and such as these Led never been seen.
