Ehc Western wonder.

THE greatest wonder in the State of Iowa,
and perhaps any other State, is what they
call the Walled Lake" in Weight county,
twelve mi es north Of the Dubuque and Pa
cifc railway, and about one hundred and fif-
ty miles west of Dubuque City. .,.,....
The is from two to three feet hjghe, than
the earth surface. In most places the wall
is ten feet high, width at bottom fifteen
feet, and at the top five. .. .. 5.,
" Another fact is the size Of the stone used
in its construction: the whole is of stone
varying in weight from three tons down to
one hundred pounds. ~ ,clog .e ..ra
There is an abundance of stones in Weight
county; but surrounding the lake to the ex-
tent of five and ten miles there are none.
No one can form an idea as to the means
employed to bring them to the spot, or
who constructed it. a..ssma-.5at ,s,..'ft E
Around the entire lake is belt of wood
land, half mile in width, imposed of oak;
with this exception the country is a rolling
prarie. The trees, therefore, must have
been placed there at the time of bniiDgi the
wall, aa..T safrsa. 10 f.
In the spring of 1856 there was great
storm, and the ice on the lake broke the
wall in several places, and the farmers in
that vicinity were Obliged to repair tho
damages to prevent foundation. The lake
occupies ground surface of 1900 acres,
depth Of water as great as 25 feet.Y The
water IS clear and cold, soil sandy and 1oamy.
1t is singular that no one has been able
to ascertain where the water comes from,
and where it goes to, yet it always remains
clear and fresh.

We annex below the declaration filed by

To the Honorable, the Judge of the Court
ofCommon Pleas of the County of Alle-
gheny.
The petition of Mary. w. Presty, by her
next friend, VIM. G. Warden, respectfully
.showeth: That on the 29th day of March,
A. d. 1859, she was lawfully j. incd in mar
riage with the Reverend James Prestly,
Doctor of Divinity, her present husband,
and from that time urtil the 4th day of
September, 1866, lived and cohabited with
him, and hath in all respects demeaned
herself as kind and affectonate wife; and
although by the laws Of God, as well as by
the mutual VOWS plighted to each othef,
they were bound to that uniform constancy
and regard which ought to be inseperabc
from the marriage state, yet so it is that
the parties being at the time domiciled
within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
the said James Prestly hath offered sue
indignities to the person of your petitioner
as to rerder her condition intolerable and
her life burdonsome, and thereby forced to
withdraw from his house; such indignites
consisting, among others, in the follow
ing: nf '3' s.
The said Reverend James Prestly, Doctor
Of Divinity, did, from their marriage until
she withdrew from his house, require your
petitioner to perform from him the services
of menial in answering his bell when he
rang although there were servants and
women in the family who could attend
thereto; and he did this, no matter in what
household OF other duties she may at the
time been engaged, nor how inconvehieut
it may been to her; be did require her, and
would not permit the servants in his family
to cook and take to him in his room each
morning, his breakfast, and to prepare for
hip, and have ready at late hour at night
a custard and other refreshments before he
could go to bed. He did frequently, be-
tween the above dates, because what she
had cooked and thus prepared for him, use
violent and abusive language to her; he did,
on one occasion, throw at her beefsteak,
which she had cooked for him. He did, at
another time, in the violence of his passion,
which, in his family, he never made any at
tempt to restrain, throw in her face cup
of that which, she had prepared for him; he
did at another time throw over and upon
her person pitcher Of milk; he did on
