'Ah!' said my friend, 'this is aninteresting spot: it was the favourite residence and hunting-ground ofthe Chippewas. The Indians, like your monks of old in Europe, alwayschose the most beautiful and picturesque sites for their dwellings;but they have retired before the advance of a civilisation they couldnot share or appreciate. ' Talking in this way, as we returned, hecalled my attention to a singular phenomenon in the river. At someremote period there was, and it remains to the present momen...t, a rockstanding in the middle of the stream, about twelve feet in diameter atthe top, of an irregular form, and of the hardest granite. By theaction of the water, a mass of granite had been thrown on the top, where it lodged. At high-water, perhaps during three months in eachyear, the stream had caused this mass to revolve on its own axis, until it has worn itself of a round figure, and worn also the rockinto a cup, now about six feet deep. Still, it revolves when the waterreaches it--nature still plays at this cup-and-ball--the ball weighingfive tons.
