Anew .Water Of Life. =

The Gettysburg (Pa.) Star speala
of a strange omen which has appeared
on the celebrated battlefield neaR
that place, and is now puzzling the
brains of the good people in that part
of the country. 1t is that of q spring
of healing waters, of such marvellous
properties, and with such strange
history, as it is claimed only can be
accounted for on the hypothesis of
its being supernatural production,
and for a providential purpose. The
Star thus describes it:
While it possesses all, and moro
than all, the medicinal virtues Of the
best mineral fluids, its sensible prop
critics are those Of pure spring water,
from which it is no way distinguish
able except by its effect on the hu-
man system-an unprecedented and
hitherto impossible combination.-
Previous to the battle Of Gettysburg.
it was known to many of our citizens
as sulphur spring, possessing all
the offensive properties Of its tribe;
since which time it has undergone
the marvellous transformation which
is now witnessed. AS this water
combines the virtues of two kinds
used by man az a nourishment and q
medicine, it is maintained that it is
pre-emincntly entitled to the desig-
nation Of 1cuter gf life; and its ap-
pearance on this battlefield, where
were conlessedly decided the momcn=
tnus issues involved in our civil con-
hict, is hailed as sign of national
deliverance and regeneration by all
who are supers,itious, or who yie!d
to that species Of exaltation which
the subject is we'll calculated to in1r
spirr. The strange spring has been
visited by thousands of persons dur
ing the past few months, and the de-
sire to See it and partake Of its wat
ers has assumed the form of a mania,
whicl. is rapidly spreading among
the people. 1t is situated on tho
Mclean farm, near where General
REYNOLDS fell, and where occurred
some of til. most memorable events
of the great battle.
This mysterious water has been
analyzed by Prof. Mayer, of the col
l.Se at this place; but while chemi-
cal science fully explains its medici-
nal virtue, it is wholly silent as to
its sensible properties which exclude
it from the category Of known waters.
