Da. PARDEE of South Norwalk, Conn.
is an ~allopathic practitioner, and his wife,
DR.. Emily Pardee, is a homeopathic ply
sician. The two recently performed a sur
gical operation on the same patient, and
DR.. Pardee was Immediately summoned to
appear before the State Medical Society.
A long and exciting trial followed, and DR..
Pardee was formally expelled. The rivalry
between the old and new schools is natural,
but in this case the general public will be
inclined to believe that the Connecticut
State Medical Society has made itself ap-
pear suprcmely ridiculous.

n. "Walled Lake.n

One of the wonders Of Iowa is tho
''Walicd Lakc,"' about one hundred and
fifty miles west of Dubuque city. The
lake is from two to three feet higher than
the carth's surface In some places the
wall is ten feet high, fifteen feet wide at
the bottom, and five feet on the Top. An
other fact is the size of the stones used in
construction, the whole of them varying in
weight from three tons down to one hun
drcd pounds There IS an abundance of
stones in Wright county, but surrounding
the lake to the extent of five or ten miles
there are none. No one can form an idea
as TO the means employed to bring them to
the spot, or who constructed it. Around the
entire lake is n belt of woodland half a mile
III length, composed of oak with this cX-
ception, the country is a rolling prairie.
The trees must have been planted there ut
the time of the building Of the wall In
the spring Of the year 1866 there was q
great storm, and the ice on the lake broke
the wall in several places and the farmers
in the vicinity were obliged to repair the
damages 10 prevent inundation. The lake
occupies Il ground surface of two thousand
eight hundred acres; depth of water as
great as twenty-five feet. The water is
clear and cold soil sandy and loamy. 1t
