Ehe Sale Of the Natural Bridge.

The natural bridge property has been
again sold, this time by the Allegheny
coal and iron company, to MIR. III. G..
Parsons. for $4,000. This property has
had an eventful history. The first owner
of record was Thomas Jefferson, and he
made frequent visits to the place, priZ-
ing it highly--in one of his letters, re
Gently discovered, placing its value at
$4,000 and saying that people would
cross the seas to visit it. 1t has been
sold repeatedly at from $4,000 to $4,000,
at which price it was reported at one
time sold to John Garrett, Esq, when
the Valley railroad was located near it.
About year ago it was sold by the
Hartman estate to the present purchaser
for about $4,000, and by him imme-
diatelv sold to the Allegheny coal and
iron company for $4,000. The recent
purchase carries the improvements that
were put upon it the last season. The
object of the purchaser is to organize a
new company to be called the natural
bridge forest company, to insure more
extensive improvements. The property
contains nearly 1900 acres, large part
of which is original forest. 1t lies in
the great circle of hills lifted 600 feet
above the valley and l 400 feet above the
sea. From the highest point there is
view of the Blue Ridge for 20 miles, and
the place will form shaded and breezy
summer resort, convenient to Lynch
burg and Richmond, DanviIle and New
York. The natural bridge Is 2l5 feet
high and with span of about so feet,
and is 90 feet wide, carrying wide road,
and has long been classed among the
wonders of this country. Richmond, Va,

Agricultural ALTERATION

Agricultural arts are amazingly an
cient. Adam, Abel and Abraham all adj
mired and adOred agriculture. Alas
Adam ate an acrid apple, and all are ac-
cOrdingly accursed. Agriculture and as
sOciate allies, as arbOriculture and api-
culture, astOnish and attract amateurs
Anger and anguish are alike arrested
and assuaged amid attractions abound
ing among arabic arts. American agri-
cultural associations are annually adj
vancing apace; and are assiduOusly ac-
tive and assuredly assisting authOrita-
tive analyses, Acids and alkalies are
already annexing arid areas, and apples
apricOts, asparagus and artichOks, ap-
pear as abundantly as ac6rns. ArdOr
and assiduity accomplish anything
Above all, arrant authorizations are
awfully annoying, and abOminable ar
tificial articles are alarming all, and are
alternating acceptable alliances. Adieu

What the Modern lind has Done

Recall the ancients and teach them
the power of steam; put Columbus on
board the Great Eastern; furnish Cali
leOs tube with Alvan Clark's lenses; send
the armies of Caesar by rail into Gaul;
give Homer an edition of the Iliad
from the University Press; besiege Troy
with irOnclads; clOthe the Roman le-
giOns from the power looms of Lowell
shoe them from the machinery of Lynn;
arm them with the Spencer rifle; heat
the houses of POmpeli with steam; light
them with gas and illuminate them with
electricity; send daily paper, with news
whispered to its columns from the globe,
to every soldier in the army of Darius;
tell Governor Bradford to telegraph to
John Robinson In Leyden that the May
flower has arrived in port and has cast
an anchor in the harbOr of Plymouth
and you will have demonstrated to the
great minds of old what untiring and
superhuman effort the modern mind has
made for the elevation and advancement
of mankind.,-Dr. LOrinJ.
