A GREAT NATURAL, CtR1os1Ty.-Th

a GREAT NATURAL CURIOSITY. The
Sentinel, published at Jacksonville, Ore
gon, of the 18th ult, says: "Several OF
our citizens returned last week from q
visit to the great Sunken Lake, situated
in Cascade Mountains, about seventy
five miles northeast from Jacksonville.
The lake rivals the famous valley of Sin
bad the Sailor. 1t is thought to average
1900 feet down to the water all round.
The walls are almost perpendicular, rum
ming down into the water and leaving
no beach. The depth of the water is I'M
known, and its surface is smooth and I'M
ruffied, as it lies SO far below the surface
of the mountain that the air currents do
not affect it. Its length is estimated at
twelve miles, and width at ten. There
is an island in its center having trees up
on it. No living man ever was, and
ever will be able to reach the water edge.
1t lies silent still and mysterious, in The
bosom of the everlasting hills like q
huge well scoped out by the hands of the
giant genii of the mountains, in the un-
known ages gone by, and round it the
primeval forests watch and ward arc
keeping. The visiting party fired a RI
file several times into the water at an an
gle of forty-fve degrees, and were able
to note several seconds of time from the
report OF the gun until the ball struck
the water. Such seems incredible, but
it is vouched for by some of our most re-
liable citizens. The lake is certainly Il
most remarkable curiosity"

speech, and we are informed that he is
having his remarks translated into Ger

who can so far degrade himself, or of *,

been assured since, on the authority Of Il

be depended upon, that Stevens told ar

that no such speech had ever been made.
