A v, . remarkable Bering occurs ou section '22 (?), in the 



Liip oi' Brie, Monroe county. It is situated within the 



marsh which borders the lake, about one mile from the lake 



shore aud tour miles south east from Vienna. The Bpril 



reached by boat It is found occupying a conical depres- 

 sion, about 200 feet in diameter and 45 feet deep. Some time

when the wind is favorable. At the distance of 30 rods the 

 of the bayou has a sulphuretted taste, and a whitish de-

 time of my visit the rim of the basin was IS inches under water, 

 but later in th . the water subsides, and the rim is con-

 \\ of water from the spring forms a stream 10 feet 

 wide and 3 feel deep, with a considerable cum

nearly opposite the Raisinville lime quarrii
