properties, and with such a strange
history, As it is claimed only can be
accounted for On the hypothesis OF
its being a supernatural production
and for provideniial purpose. The
Star thus describes it:
While it possesses all, and more
than all, the medicinal virtues OF the
best mineral fluids, it. sensible prop
critics are thos. Of pure spring water
from which it is no way distinguish
able except by its effect on the h",
man system-an unprecedented and
hitherto impossible continuation
Previous to the battle Of Gettysburg
it was known to many of our citizens
as a sulphur spring. possessing all
the offensive properties of its tribe 4;
siucs which time it has undergone
the marvellous transformation which
is now witnessed. As this water
ounbines the virtues of two kinds
used by man IA nourishme"t and a
medicine, it Is maintained that it is
pre-emincntly entitled to the desis.
nation of n pater IF itte; and its ap'
pearancc on this battlefield. where
were confess.diy decided the m"mcn-
tous iss,I.s involved in our civil con
Hict, is hailed as sign of national
deliverancc and regeneration by all
who are supcrstitious, or WIN yield
to that species of exal;ation which
the subject is we'll calculated ~ in

visited by thousands Of persons dur
ing the past few months, and the de.

which. is rapidly spreading among
the people. I, is situated On the

some Of the most memorable events
of the great battle.
This mysterious water has been

cal science fully explains Its mcdici-
nal virtue. it is wholly silent As to
its sensible properties which exclude
