of the horns we're in good state of preser
walton. It must have been a great many
years since they were deposited.

his death.

in the county Jail to await the action of the

evenings when a party of five of US we're
rowing &C, oss the lake that we accidentally
discovered that we were in very marked
echo. A loud halo was repeated five times.
A gun was fired a number of times, and
from each report nine distinct echoes were
counted. Mr.. Hull, who has visited Echo
canon in California, says he never heard an
echo half SO marked there. We also noticed
that when the gun was fred the fish for
acres jumped out of the water, and the lake
looked as though shower of fish had fallen
upon it.
