Startling Phenomena In Florida.

The last Palatka Herald has a let
ter from Orange county, Fla, contain
ing a thrilling narrative of the sink
ing Of a good portion Of Orange
county and the formation of lake
where it once stood. After relating
the experience of one man, he goes to
another, whose account is as follows:
More and more wonderful. Mr..
Alex. K. Foster has just come in
with more marvellous and startling
reports. He says that on his way
from Orlando to Millonville, after
crossing Fort Metlin branch, he left
the road to avoid the constant bog
ging to which he was subjected.
The safest place he thought would
be on the crown of a high black jack
ridge, running parallel with the
road, which he accordingly took.
After riding perhaps a mile his
horse commenced begging and for
some distance it was questionable
whether he could get through, he,
however, reached more solid footing;
again he commenced begging, at this
time he noticed remarkable and por-
tentous sounds in his rear. The
begging grew worse rs heprogressed,
until he had to dismount; there
seemed no escape for him. both he
and his horse were still begging.
The sounds in his rear increased
more and more and became more
alarming and the route in front more
boggy-he dare not stop, as this
would have rendered itimpossible to
have extricated himself-he neither
dare nor could look behind him, his
whole thought and aim was to reach
terra frma. At last, after the most
supherhuman exertions, both he and
his horse exhausted to the most ex-
treme degree, he reached solid ground.
Turning to examine into the cause
of those fearful sounds in his rear,
he saw the most terrific and appall-
ing sight it has ever been my fate to
listen to. The first thing that at
traced attention, was that the trees
were moving, first a giratory motion
of the top, then some sinking gradu-
ally out Of sight, the tops removing
more and more rapidly as it sunk and
disappeared, others following, and as
they fell revolving and describing
arcs of circle against the sky.
Then the whole earth as far as the
eye could reach, sinking and its place
supplied by sea of waters, rushing.
seething, boiling with ths' noise of
mighty cataracts, and ever and anon
casting to the surface the roots or
bodies of mighty pines and oaks.
If I could only tell it to you in the
language of the awe stricken wit
ness. 1t must have been beyond
-comnon;aAn. the most fearfullY.-ap-
palling and awe inspiring sight ever
witnessed. The h horse and man lie
now painting at the memory of the
horrors they have so mlraculously
escaped.

Kaw Trust Lands.
espeetfuHy,
n. Kenmore, Sc,


We have received the following communi-
cation from G. NJ. SimcOek relative to the
Kaw reserve. We give It place III our col
umns with pleasure:
COUNCIL GROVE, April 9th, 1871. .
EDITORS NKwS;-We think that the report
that has reached the citizens Of Americas that
the Kaw Trust Lands will be in market for
actual settlers has been somewhat misunder-
stood. We do not know where the report
came nom, bat thinking it grew out Of the
information that we got in Wash ington City
whIle there in the interest OF those lands be-
ing brought into market, we feel that we had
probably better say We got the promise from
the Secretary Of the Interior, that IS soon as
the present Congress adjourned he would
place the Trust Lands in market, He had not
given or did not give US his probable decision
in what way he would sell the lands. The
provisions OF the treaty that was ratified on
the 9th OF October, 1859, will in all probabili-
" DO carried aat. They do not appear to
give him much discretion In the matter, but
we think he Sc inclined 20 do all he can for
men that have actual improvements op the
lands, though We doubt very much whether
be would recognize any settlers who may 60
on the lands now, and such settlers might OPP
crate against those that had formerly settled
on and made actual improvements on the
Trust Lands. And we would suggest the pro-
priety OF being patient and Of waiting for the
decision Of the Secretary Of the Interior.
Respectfully,
g. n. SIMcoCK,

THE SwEDE WOMAN SroRY.-Dr. Law
renee desires that we again refer 20 the Swede
woman story in order that it again be denied.
It Is still being repeated in the ears OF strSn-
gers and others with much exaggeration by
designing persons, iu order to iaigre the doc.
tor, notwithstanding the fact that the day az
ter 1t was published In this papar full deni-
al and retraction were made. Now the facts
as related by De. Ia srenee, and we eourdent-
~ believe they are true, are that he was called
upon to attend the woman in her confinement;
that he aid attend her; that he was present
when her child was bora; that he did not
take or ask any pay Of her whatever; that he
LEFT her doing well; that he returned the next
day and found her stiIl doing we'll, so that be
deemed Il unnecessary to return again; but
that from injudicious exposure she took Sc
we're cold few days afterwards; that he was
again sent for, this fact proving that he had
given satisfaction before); that he went regu-
larly several times each day until the woman
died; aud that he did all In his power to re-
store che womanss health, but that no human
aid could help her. In short, DIR. Lawrence
did all for the poor woman any other physi-
clan would or could have eoae, and for a.
services, having 4scertained the Homanss pow
erty. never asked and never received one cent.

Now II seems to Us not only shameful but
wrong in the extreme to take the facts con-
nected With such case as this, aud exaggera-
ting, eooring and distorting them, make up .
story, scarcely q word Of which strue, in or
der te>injure mans reputation, as also his
business. We are sorry that this untruthful
and distorted version Of the story was given
publicity TO through these columns. But 1t
is not always possible for an editor to distin-
guish between truth and malicious falaifying;
and the same story coming to US through sew
eral different, and, as we believed, responsible
sources, we published il, not knowing, how
ever, who the physician really was that was
implicated. We have known DR.. Lawrence
long and well, and believe him entirely inca
pable OF the brutal neglect and misery and
unmerciTul conduct Of which this story afirms
him guilty. He is heightened, big-hearted.
honest and honorable man, and therefore we
have entire confidence in the facts IS given by
him and do not believe word Of the other
story.

an alarm, and for few minutes q scene of
wild excitement and alarm ensued. The
crow . partially len the room, and the balance
becoming convinced that they were mistaken
abou: the floor giving way, the performance
proceeded to the close. Next morning an ex-

persons would no doubt have been killed.

Mrs. Livcrmore's audience Tuesday ev'g was
n large. appreciative ONE, and IL listened for
two hours with undivided attention to "a wo-
mans conception OF the lfe and character OF
the greatest Of England's Queens. This great
lectures has more devotion for Elizabeth than
the historians have. She discovers In her the
profouudest craftsmanship Of the age. Eng
land Mas raised by her from a third or fourth
rate power to take rank one Of the foremost
nations of the world. Whether in time Of
peace or Of war. the same eonsummate ability
was manifested. Nor was Elizabeth cruel
woman as the historians claim she was meres
ly just, and if at any time severe it was be-
cause necessity demanded severity. Mrs.
Livermore's opinion OF Queen Elizabeth Is, to
say the least, an interesting one That she Is
allogether right and Hume, Maeaglay, Froude
and others are altogether wrong we are not
prepared 10 say; yet her lecture evinces the
most careful and thorough investigation; ,snd
while the historians may mistake by giving
more credit TO her ministers and advisers and
pot enough TO Elizabeth, Mrs. Liyermore
probably eommitted the opposite error by
giving too much to Elizabeth aud not enough
70 her ministers. However this may be, the

There is no doubt that healthy and Vigor-

but the people have always rallied and sus-

recent charter election, and the result We give
