IOWA'S GREAT WONDER.

The greatest wonder in the State of
Iowa, and perhaps any other State. is
what is called he Walled Lake in
Wright county. IL miles north of the
Dahnquc and Pacific railway, and $50
miles north of Dubuque city. The lake
is from two To three feet higher than
the earth's surface. In some places the
wall is 10 feet high, ID feet wide at the
bottom and FIVE feet wide at The top
Another fact is the size OF the stones
used in construction, the whole of them
varying in weight from three tons down
To 100 pounds. There is an abundance
OF stones in Wright county, but surroun-
ding the lake to the extent of five or ten

ed it. Around the entire lake is a bell
OF woodland half mile in length. com
posed OF oak. With this exception the
country is a rolling prairie. The trees
must Lave been planted there at the
time of the building of the wall. In the
spring Of the year 1856 there was a
great storm and the ice on tue lake
broke the wall in several places. aud the
farmers in the vicinity were Obliged TO
repair the damages TO prevent inunda
ton. The lake occupies n ground sur.

clear and cold. soil sandy aud loamy--
1t is singular that no one has been able
| to ascertain wh re the water comes
from nor where 1t goes, yet it is always
clear and fresh.

/ A regular meeting of the Central Demo

/ last Saturday night, was called to order by
President Clifton.
On motion of Mr.. Webb, the transaction
of any of the regular business of the Club
was dispensed with.
President Clifton announced that Mr..
Sam'l Shelton, of Raymond, and General
Jno ID. Freeman, of Jackson, had been in
vited to address the meeting, and intro
duced to the audience Mr.. Shelton, who
delivered an address, chiefly devoted to To-
cal matters
At the conclusion Of his address, the fol-
lowing resolution.was introduced by J. l..
Power, and unanimo usly adopted;
Resolred, That it is the sense of this Club
that Farrar Morrison, the regular nominee
of the Democratic-COnserv party of
Kinds county, for the office of Sheriff, is
| worthy of and shall receive our hearty
support, and that we regard as extraordina-
nv and unfair the attempt to prejudice his
1 claims to the office because of misunder-
standing in business transactions between
/ himself and Mr.. McPike, which can only
be adjusted by litigation in the courts of
/ the country.
/ Gen. J. ID. Freeman was then introduced
/ by the President, and delivered very able
argument on State and National affairs.
| On motion, the meeting adjourned.
