DEER PARK.
DEAR c. C.: This very interesting spot Is In a
deep gorge worn by the water passing through the
soft sandstone. Its length is quarter OF a
mile, depth nearly 100 feet, width from 80 TO 100
and il il nearly five miles from La Sale. Its en-
trance is at the BIZ. Nermion River. Ii can easily
be explored with carriages almost its entire length
IL Is delightful place of resort, and is visited by
pleasure seekers throughout the Summer season.
At the farther end OF the park, or amphitheater,
there is a beautiful spring, the water of which
remains cool even ia the sultry days, aud IL pure
and clear a diamond. Al MONDAY, when tho
sun shines directly into the spring, objects can be
seen al the bottom tinted with prismatio hues.
The basin of tue spring Is about 20 feet in dame-
ter. with depth, perhaps, of some four or more
feet The water Is continually bubbling up, so
quietly not TO be heard. From this point path
leads through shady asles 10 the entrance of the
Park. The place is altogether lovely, and drive
through u creates impressions la the mind OF a
light and lovely picture the memory of which
travel in other localities cannot etface.
Very line Indian pottery, arrow heads, etc, also
some choice minerals, are found
The day that visited this charming locality was
a most bewitChinE one 50 bright, clear warm and

grass was OF most beautiful green, which WAS

grand old forest trees in full leaf aud the air
WAS fragrant with blossoms OF the wild plum aud

OF the trees, aud The active little squirrels were

the pathway, forming canopy that com

out The sunlight. Before leaving IL nightfail I;
the night songs OF the birds were heard ia tile dis

and meadow-ark. Even the hum of the wild
bee seemed TO have musical sound. which had

until NJ last the end is reached, aud is as il
were, suddenly let down gently TO earth again:

dreamed they LETT And when balmy sleep follows
TO the hearts toasted with scenes of beauty the
world apparently, Is waited still farther away. The
time passed quickly. but not too quickly FOX the
picture that memory calls her own.
The name of this spot is supposed 10 have been
derived from the practice Of the Indians driving
their deer into its mouth and having no place to
escape they became easy prey.
