A singular report comes from Florida,
THAT a range Of bills, or mountains so
called. has been discovered in the inter-
Tor of that state. Florida has heretofore
been supposed to be as free from noun
tains or hills as are the prairies of Kan
sas, though thickly covered with dense
forests of pine and other trees. The re.
Gently discovered mountain range is in
Superior county, and is about fifteen
miles long, one mile wide, and 500 feet
high. The value of such piece ofprop.
erty in mountainous region is appar-
ent, and every foot of land covered by
this range has been bought up, aud is
held at such figure as virtually to be
out of the market.
