The greatest wonder in the state of lows.
and perhaps any other state, is what is
called the, Walled Lake. in Wright
county, twelve miles north Of the Dubuque
and Pacific Railway, and about one hun
dred and fifty miles west of Dubuque city.
The lake is from two to three feet higher
than the carth's surface. In some places
the wall is ten feet high width at bottom
fifteen feet, and Mt the top five. Anothe,
fact Is the size of the stones used in con-
struction the whole is of stone VARYING
IN weight from three tons down to one
hundred pounds. There is an abundance
OF stone in Wright county but surround
ing the lake to the extent of five or ten miles
there are none.
No one can rin an idea as to the means
employed to hr,ng them to the spot, or
who CONSTRUCTED it. Around the entire
lake Is belt Of woodland. half mile ir
width, composed Of oak with this exccp-
ton the country is rolling prairie. The
trees must have been planted there at the
time of the building of the wall. In the
spring OF 1886 there was great storm.
and the ice on the lake broke the wall in
several places and the farmers in the yic;n-
lty were obliged to repair the damages to
prevent inundation. The lake occup pies a
ground surface Of $500 acres, depth of
water as great as % feet. The water is
clear and cold soil sandy and loamv. 1t
is singular that no one has been able TO
ascertain where the water comes from, and
where 1t goes, yet it is always fresh and
clear.

Several portions of the fluid from
the stomach gave feeble indications of
the metal. Upon removing a highly
infamed spot or patch of the villous
coating, and boiling the same with
distilled water, the resultant liquor
produced the same effects as the COT
fee, only in a less marked degree, as
of course, would be expected.
We guarded carefully against the
usual fallacies, tested the chemicals,
water, &C.. and then repeated the ex-
periments in an Inverse order.
La short, the suspected coffee con
tains a sufficient amount Of arsenic
to produce the full effects Of acute
poisoning; although recovery 70 more

c0pious vomiting ensues.

SENT HoME.-The remains OF Jo-
seph g. Gardner, who committed su
icide at the American House on
Tuesday by taking laudanum, were
taken charge Of by the Masons of the
city-it being supposed that he be-
longed to that order-and were de-
Gently prepared for burial. They
were placed in d metallic coffin, agree
able to his request, and sent by the
Ada Lyon, last night, to Burks City
for interment.
The proprietors Of the American
House gave the unfortunate man the
most assiduous attentions during his
illness, and would have seen his dy-
ing request complied with had not
the Masonic fraternity generously in
terposed their services.
1t was@a sad scene TO contemplate
the return of the remains to his
friends, who but few days ago left
them IN full health and vigor, with
the promise Of a long and useful life.
May &c who tempers the wind to the
shorn lamb cast His protecting care
around his orphan child.

RECORDERS CoURT.-The only cases
before Recorder Nelson yesterday,
were those of Philip Hamburger and
wife charged with disturbing the
peace by fighting, quarreling, &c. The
history of the whole affair, which we
do not propose to write, involved a
case of extreme jealousy, mysterious
movements, black transactions, &c.
The woman was discharged. Philip
was required to pay fine of So, with

FIRE ALARM.-A rather singular
fire alarm was sounded yesterday
morning about s O'Clock. The watch
man on the steamer Quickstep, lying
at the bank below the wharf, discov-
cred that the water pipes in the hull
of that boat had been bursted by
freezing below the water-line, and
that the boat was taking water rapid
ly. He rushed to the roof and rung
the bell vigorously-much after the
manner Of a fire alarm. The engine
house bells at once took up the alarm,
and the noise reused the whole city,
and all the engines were soon on the
streets, when it was discovered that
there was no fire. In the meanwhile
Capt. Gus. Dusouchet, who was in
the vicinity, discovering what was the
trouble, rallied the crew of the Ar
mada and went on board the Quick
step, and, with the aid of pumps Dor
rowed in the city and from Dunkerson
& Co.'s wharf boat, succeeded in keep
ing her afoat until the leaks were
stopped. All the pumps of the Quick
step were frozen up and useless. But
for the timely discovery of the leaks.
the boat would unquestionably have
sunk.
