A Mystery in Suwanee.
LIVE OAK, September

w O~AIN1 hoSPNOhAbCl u
About half mile south of the pretty
little station of Houston, on the Florida
Rail and Navigation Company's road in
this county (Suwanee), is or has been
until recently the beautiful sheet of wa
ter known as the 'tPeacock Lake." bor-
dered by lovely woods of hickory, mag
nolia, ive-oak and pine, and shut in on
the west and south sides by high banks.
The lake was in the shape of boot with
the top to the north and the toe pointing
to the east, and near the instep was the
sink or deepest part of the lake. This
lake has always been a favorite resort
for pic-nics and sportsmen, for beneath
its CLASSY waters disported the finest
trout, and in the shade of its green woods
was found the wild deer and turkey,
I frequent rains of this summer, Peacock
lake has been steadily drying up, and a
| few days since the citizens of our town
were startled to hear the report that ''the
bottom had fallen out" and the water
was fast disappearing in the earth. Cart
/ loads of fish were brought in for sale by
persons living near.
On yesterday afternoon your cores
pondent, in company with the Rev. III.
NJ. Anderson, rode to the lake, upon
reaching which, we found that the north
end of the lake still contained water, but
only about half its former size then
crossing little ridge which intervened
between this and the South and east por-
tions of the lake, and which no doubt
prevented the northern end from going
dry, we came to the sink, and here
strange scene presented itself Away off
to the south and east what had formerly
been the largest portion OF the lake, was
now a wide plain covered with mud and
grass and flags, while the sink proper,
now reduced to a ciruclar spot of water
about thirty yards in diameter, and liter
ally filled with dead fish of every size
and kind, which had followed the reced-
ing waters until choked by the mud
stirred up by so many thousands con-
fined in SO small a space. Around the
sides of this natural ampitheatre were
concentric rings of dead fish and turtles
which had been left to perish by the
ebbing waters, while hundreds of buzz
yards and hogs were Cutting themselves,
and the stencil which arose was horrible
What water remained in the lake was
slowly disappearing into the earth
through some subterranean outlet, prob
ably to add its volume to the waters of
the Suwanee or some adjacent river

Plant Growth.

A plant is a living organism, governed
by as immutable laws as we ourselves.
The roots of tree extend about as far
from the stem as the tree is high that
is, the roots of a tree ten feet in height
would penetrate circle OF twenty feet
in diameter. In taking up such a tree,
the greater part of its roots, especially
the fine fibrous-feeding roots, have to be
cut off, and the top OF the tree in proper
ton, if we would have the slightest
chance to make it live at all. 1t will be
readily seen, therefore, that it requires
some time before the tree can regain it's
former size in roots and branches, and
that all it's vitality will have to be spent
for this purpose; and if few abortive
fruits should form, these will only be an
additional tax, tapping the life-blood of
the tree, to more speedily effect it's ruin.
