Deep down below the surface of the
lake may be seen what appears to be
the charred and blackened trunks of
large trees, They stand upright hi the
water, but have neither root nor b •aneb.
and never rise to the surface or sink to
the bottom. The lake has no outlets
and the volume of water is the salve all
the time.
Astrong fatality attaches to this lake,
Once it was the favorite resort of the
boys of the neighborhood for bathing
and swimming, but now they never ge
near it. Fifteen boys have been drown-
ed in its waters in twice asmany years.
A few of the bodies were recoyered,but

were never brought to the, surface.
The depth of the lake has never been
ascertained. Soundings to the depthof
70 feet found no bottom, and the peo•

none• The Indian legend of the origin
of the lake is that before the white Mian
came to this country two tribes became
involved in a war, and after a number
of bloody battles the'srnaller tribe was
almost exterminated. Then e,tho old
man and chief of the week tribe sued
for .peace and arranged a sounds.
While the pipe was being passed a-
round, a signal was given and the
chiefs of the strong tribe suddenly
sprang up with drawn tomahawks and.
murdered every one of the chiefs of
the smaller tribe.
Then the war was renewed and, car-
ried on until the week tribe was exter-
minated. A few moons after the mass-
acre of the chiefs, a fire broke out in
the pine forest where the massacre oc-
curred, • Tho fire burned in this spot for
eight moons, and the ground sunk
down out of sight; the fire disappeared,
and in its stead appeared a lake. The
Indians gave the lake a name which.
means "lIke of death."

during the eorrespoxiding week' .cart'

der the changes iu the New York mar-
ket, but the leading tendency of the
market here was upward. Flour wale:
.steady, not sharing in the speculative
movements. Barley was firm. 'Foreign
oats advanced Gd. Corn dropped. 3d.
At to -day's m•trkct business was slow.
English and foreign wheats maintain-

well held. The price of barley was
against buyers, and there was a de-
creased demand. Oats, beans, corn and.
peas were steady.
