Der of prominent citizens Of Joncsbor,
STATED for Bald mountain yesterday
with the miro Of being ON hand whrl
the rrnrtinn brpips and bringing home
some nyn. stones IA evidences of the
burstiug forth of Volcanic fires from the
bald-headed old mountain.
There mood be no great surprise il
the commissions Of Bald mountain
should be followed by an eruption Of
molten lava. The pcnt.up matter with,
in the mountain must find n vent, and
rnmblinQ will cease. The mountains of
Western North Carolina present many
evidences of decided volcanic origin,
though for ages past there has remained
no other trace Of activity except that
which ia shown by the hot and mineral
springs Of this region.
