DIAMOND CAVE. 



Diamond Cave is an object of interest, and from its 

 proximity to Mammoth Cave is worthy of mention in this 

 connection, and should be visited by all curiosity-seekers 

 who may be attracted to the neighborhood by the great 

 cavern, the account of which we have just completed. 



This Cave is situated in Barren County (Ky.), one mile 

 and a half from Glasgow Junction ("Bell's Tavern"), on 

 the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, and five miles and 

 a half from Mammoth Cave, being immediately on the 

 road leading from the latter place to Glasgow Junction. 



The first exploration of Diamond Cave, we are informed 

 by its present proprietor, Mr. John R. Proctor,* was made 

 in July, 1?59, by Dr. J. T. Andrews, of Montgomery, Ala.; 

 Prof. T. A. Richardson, M.D., of New Orleans; Theodore 

 H. Lowe, Esq., of Louisville ; Mr. John Bell, proprietor 

 of the well-known " Bell's Tavern;" George Bliss, Esq., 



* Since the above has been written, we are informed by Mr. P. that he 

 has disposed of Diamond Cave to his father, Mr. Geo. M. Proctor.
