SHARON SPRINGS, VA.
Their Recuperative Powers on Persons Debili-
tated by Malarial Influences,

SHARON. BLAND County. VA.
July Z. 1878.
To the Editor Of the Democrat:
Many Inquiries made Of me with regard to
my observation and experience Of the influ-
ence Of the climate and mineral waters of
Virginia upon the varied diseases especially
incident to the South, induce me to ask
small space In your paper, SO that may make
q general answer.
My experience has been to great extent
limited to the effects of the Sharon Springs
and climate, which springs are In the county
of Bland about Is miles from Wytheville. In
the space Of six weeks residence, have had
an opportunity to observe in many cases the
beneficial effects Of sojourn In this beauti-
full locality upon many diseases. There are
two springs at this place, both OF which, am
satisfied, are invaluable as remedial agents
One Is called the Alum, which in all its sen
sible qualities and curative effects, resembles,
II 1T DO not identical in It's mineral impregna-
tions, with the celebrated Rockbridge Alum.
The other is called the Chaly beate, presenting
ut Its outflow every sign OF the predOmfnance
OF iron in its constitution; but, from personal
experience | feel justified in stating that
though aluminium may be- in excess ia the first
mentioned spring, that iron is not primary
ingredient ia the so-called Chalybeate. Iron
exists In both springs. They are both us valu-
used as potent Ia the elimination Of disease
from the system as any others. Mild chaly-
beates, in all physical ailments resulting es
pecially from malarial influences, have been
regarded as most important among mineral
waters. They invigorate digestion and then
exert tonic and healthy action on all the
organs
In point of climate, pure water OF icy cool
ness, food and all the adjuvants OF health,
Sharon cannot be surpassed. Somewhat re-

Dear lpanhoe-Well here we are at last,

the Frenchiest-- every other person one meets

LITTLE BARBARA.

Pretty Barbara. ripe and red
With sweet small mouth like the bees abed,
And full OF nectar and honey due:
To the art OF the ribbon that ties her hair.
So liks each triuket che has to wear,
It seems just as II 1t grew.
Like rose In its petals and pollen dust.
And something like BaIbara, too.
AS she dips her small tin bucket in
The little fountain of woven glass.
Like webs that the spiders weave and spin
To hang on the shining blades OF grass.
A face as bright ana happy rs hers.
In the nets OF the silken gossamerB,
Looks out OF the waters smooth eclipse.
As II 1t was happy to hold within 1t,
The soft vefbena red Of her lips.
And kiss and caresS her Just for q minute.
In the arms of the dimptes smooth and Still
Ere 1t goes and soberly turns the mill.
For life to her In the honey-dew
ls nothing yet but the way. side spring.
Between the upper and under blue.
That makes 1cion Of everything.
AS perfectly like as II 1t grew;
And shells too happy to see within 1t
The shape OF her small sweet self q mtnuba
From the bow In the hair TO the tie of her shoe
To know that the marvellous shadows mean
The simple inner beauty that shows
But now In the color of a rose.
And ROW like the waters smooth eclipse,
In henrts that hold her picture still,
AS We go and soberly turn the mill,

he was prepared to assume the full RESPONSE

not To have deserved well at the hands Of its
constituents Is the body now sitting at
Springfield. Ill. Since the beginning OF the
session it has gone from bad to worse, and
has been roundly abused by the press OF the
State. Among the many curious propositions
that it has considered favorably is one now
pending on Its third reading, providing for the
establishment of private Warehouses; affa e.
secret medical examination instead OF trial
by jury in cases OF alleged insanity. Should
the bill become a law, private Warehouses;
would soon abound In Illinois, and the med

them always full. II justice should be done,
