Iowa's Walled Lake,

The greatest wonder in the State
of Iowa, and perhaps any State, is
what is called the "Walled Lake"
in Wright county, twelve miles
north of the Dubuque and Pacific
railway, and $50 miles west OF Du-
buque City. The lake is from two
to three feet higher than the earth's
surface. In some places the wall is
ten feet high, fifteen feet wide on top.
The stones used in its construction
vary in weight from three tons down
to 100 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 a belt of woodland hall
a mile in width, composed of oak
The trees must have been planted
there at the time of the building O.
the wall. In the spring of the yeal
1856 there was a great storm and the
ice on the lake broke the wall il
several places, and the farmers in thu
vicinity were compelled to repai
the damages to prevent inundation
The lake occupied grand surface 0
$500 acres depth Of water as grea
as twenty-five feet. The water wa
clear and cold, soil sandy and loamy
1t is singular that no one has beer
able to ascertain where the waite
comes from not where $, yet i
is always clear and fresh. ....

AWOman's Discovery.

Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that tooby a lady in
