Fire. In the Dismal.
Swamp.

Ems. COUNTRY GENTLEMEy-The
great "Dismal swamp" of Virginia, is
now on FIRE. The bears and other wild
animals that make their home in the
tangled rscesses of this, the most won
derfuf and truly historical swamp in
America. are driven out by the fires
now raging there. and invade the corn
| fields of the farmers living near the
margins of the swamp. The soil is of
Ia a"peaty" nature, and in seasons of pro
ii.nged dronth, it will burn for weeks.
The FIRE slowly eats i.sNway alohg,
burning to depth of two or thrce or
more feet, and many hundreds OF acres
Of tim Der are undermined by tbe. fire
and fail down, and make n desolate
looking tangle until the growth of!
green weeds, reeds and shrubs of the
following season covers up the scars.
IL sounds little odd to note the
fact that bears and deer and other
game are found within Is miles of this
seaport city of nearly $4,000 people
The Dismal Swamp is what may be
termed y freak" Of nature. 1t covers
nearly 500 square miles of territory.
II really is a swamp on a hillside, As
the entire surface of the swamp slopes
gently and easily towards the sen.
The highest point in the swamp is
nearly 2j feet above sea level. Eight
streams of considerable size have their
headwaters in this swamp. Lake !
Drummord occupies n position in its
centre, and at the highest point. 1t oc
cupies space of nearly five miles
north and south, and four miles east
and west. The lake is filled with juni- |
per water, SO called from the fact that
the swamp is well covered with jnni- !
per forests, and the waters, in which |
the juniper roots are soaking, and into
which the annual crop Of janiper ber.
ries fall, are so impregnated with the |
medicinal properties OF the juniper /
that they are the color OF tea or vine
gar or beer. These waters are drunk
largely for their favorable action on
the kidneys, and, strange as il may ap-
pear, the water never becomes stag
nsnt or impure, and its keeping quail
ties are marvellous.
No one can satisfactorily Account
for the formation of the bed of Lake
Drummond, except on the supposition
that in the ancient past, during per-
Iod of prolonged dry weather, the wa
lers OF the swamp receded SO far from
The surface that the fires burned SO

large scale us TO actually burn out the
bed of the lake. On the return of the
