We unhesltatingly declare that in our mercan-

there is not one half the opposition 10 this bill

"A CALIFORNIA LAKE. The PInrnvv;Iln
Herald says that Lake Bigler in one of thn
curiosties Of California. It is a lake 6tv
miles long and from ten to twenty. miles Il
width, situated between two distinct RIDGE. az
the Sierra Nevada, and but about one and n
half miles north Of the road to CarsOn's val =,
ley. According to the Herald Il is a perfect
paragon Of a lake--a miniature paradise
among the mountains. Its wildly beautiful
ana romantic shores are lined with forests,
and Its waters, which never freeze, although
surrounded by snow during great part Of the
year. abound in many varieties Of fish, among
which the salmon and speckled trout predomi-
nate. So clear are its waters that the objects
on the bottom are distinctly visible at depth
of thirty or forty feet. Upon the eastern side
of the lake is vast cavern extending 70 an
unknown distance into the heart of thu monn-
tain. The entrance is arched in a peculiar
manner, and the place which has never been
explored, Is believed by the Indians to be the
abode ofthe evil spirits of the mountains.
