THE FAT IN THE FIRE.

DR.. Spickler, the scalper of the Frank
lin Grove Reporter, has lately taken visit
down Rock river for some purpose we
presume inspecting water powers, for he
talks much of such enterprises. At Ign
don he says there is the best water power
on Rock river. We should think 50, too,
for he says there is nine feet fall of water
there and the dam is nine miles long. "
We have visited Lyndon before the dam
was erected, and without wishing to doubt
the Doctors veracity or judgment,we must
give it as our candid opinion that nine
miles is dam-site longer than we remem-
Der to have seen there or anywhere else
on Rock river. However, they may have
run it up to Cattail Slough seven or eight
miles for fear our canal would cut off the
supply Of water-Diron telegraph
