A Walled Lake im Eowa.

A correspondent OF the Cincinnati Gezette
gives .he following description Of a walled
lake in Iowa. whca must have been built
hundreds, and probably thousands, years
since:
The lake lies in the midst of a vast plain
1.-The rich, uhdula.iny prairie extending
tor many miles in everyIirec,ion. The lake
covers an area of about so acres. The
water is clear and cold. with a hard, sand
bottom from two 10 twenty five feet deep.
There Is slrip of timber about half way
runl ii probably ten rods vile. being the
oily timber in many miles. There as a lcoti
of Aeuuy stone all around t.
IL Is no accidental matter. l. has been
built with human hands. In some places
the land is higher than the lake III whlch
case the wall only amounts TO sometiiing
ike rip-rap projection. This, 1 believe
is what engineers call it. Bnt in oiherph-
ces the water is higher in she lake than The
prairie outside of the wall. The wall in
some places is ten feet high; it is l3 feet
wide at the base, sloping up both 81 les To
5 feet wide ri the top. The wall is bulls
entirely of boulders. from three tons in size
down to fifty pounds. They are all wha.
are called lost rock. | am no geolo Sist. and
consequently can give no learned deactip'
ton of them They are not. however ma
lives, to the manor born NOrha5 the wall
been made by Washing awaw OF the earth
aud leaving the rocks. There IS no native
rock in this region. B.silcs. his is a con
tinuous wall. two miI-s of which, at leasl,
is higher than the land The top of the
wall IS level. while the land is undulating
SO the wall is in some places two feet and
in others ten feet high. These rocks. many
of them at least, must have been brought a
long distance--probably five or ten miles.
In Wright county The btsl rock are scatter
ed pretty freely, bur as you approach this
axe they disappear showing that they
have been gathered by some agency-when,
or by whom. history will never unfold
Some of tbs largest oaks in the grove are
growing up through The wall. pushing the
rocks in. in some eases outside, in Others
accommodating their shape to The rorks.-
The lake abounds with excellent fish The
ian'I in that township yet belongs to the
government"

u The Boston Journal tells OF gentleman
who was badly sold few days since. He was
sitting in his parlor with his friends and family
when the bell called him to the door, He there
found child in basket, with note charging him
with being Its father, and implo ing him to take
care of it. A rich scene ensued between the in
Jured wife ana indignant husband-the latter utter
ly denying all knowledge of the little one, and as
serting his innocence. The friends nterfered. and
at last the wife was induced to forgive the hus-
band, although he stood to it like Trojan that he
had always been faithful husband. Finally the
lady very rouguishly told her husband that il was
strange that he should not know his own child for
it was their mutual offspring, which had just been
taken from its cradle up stairs by the nurse for the
purpose of playing the joke.
