The Discovery Made by a Boy in North Carolina. Abingdon, Va , April 5.—A curious spring has been discovered in Ashe county, N. C. In July, 1885, a wood cutter Avorking some distance from his home told the lad who ac companied him to search the neigh borhood for a spring, as the water carried from their home was too warm to be refreshing. Following the stream by the roadside, the boy readied a point where the stream made a sort of horseshoe curve as it again came out by the roadside. This spot was a tangled mass of briers and overhanging shrubs, but the boy penetrated the thicket and following the curve, found near the edge of the stream, but literally in its bed, a spring. He cleaned out the dead leaves, twigs, and other rubbish, and put the spring in “running order.” In so doing he had to thrust bis arm almost to the elbow into the water. This arm was in a swollen and inflam ed condition from poison oak, and had been so for some time. The next morning it was noticed that as much of the arm as had been in the water was improved. The change had been so sudden that its relief was attributed to its having been so long in the water on the preceding day. The boy determined to try a second application of his new remedy, and on the next morning his arm Avas well. The boy’s father then tried the efficacy ot the water upon sores which had annoyed him for many weeks, and in a marvelously short time was entirely relieved. He then concluded to keep secret the locality of the spring, alloAving no one to go to it but himself, but always keeping ! a su Pply of Avater at his house. The neighbors swarmed to his house to try the magic water. Many Avere herned of various maladies, and all were eager to know where the spring was situated. The old man kept his secret, however, going under cover of night to fetch the water. Finally he was followed to his life-giving foun tain. In less than 24 hours every brier and bramble for many a yard around bad been beaten down by the feet of men and the hoofs of horses, so great was the throng coming and going. A “basket meeting” was appointed by the Methodist circuit rider, to be held at the spring on a certain Sunday. It is estimated that 700 persons were present. The preacher told of his wife's wonderful i cure. In consequence of a kick from a cow, one of her legs had been in a I painful condition for four weeks. Within fifteen minutes after the first application of this water she began to experience relief from pain, and after twelve or fifteen hours’ treat ment the pain was entirely gone. This was one of many instances re lated by the preacher to his eager listeners. From that day people came from far and near, driving sometimes thirty or forty miles in a wagon and waiting several days for a chanct to fill their barrels. On Sundays from 300 to 4.00 persons were to be seen on the spot. There is no house within half a mile of the spring and no hotel for several miles, so the neighbors, much to their annoyance and incon venience, are frequently obliged to to take in the weary st.ffeiers seeking these healing waters. The average number of persons visiting the spring daily until the bad weather of the winter began is esti mated at 200. During the winter the water has been hauled at consid erable expense to various places where ready sale is found for it at $5 a case. In fact the demand has been greater than the supply, the distance from a railroad making a trip considerable of an undertaking. Only a partial analysis of the water has as yet been made. A New Orleans chemist says its specific gravity is 1,000. and that it is largely charged with carbonic acid. It contains iron, the sulphates, chlorides and carbonates of calcium and magnesia. The country surrounding the spring is extremely rough, but not without the picturesque element which has made all Western North Carolina famous. New River runs within a few hundred yards of the place and the roar of its waterfall adds to the weirdness of the scene. During winter the blood gets thick and slug gish, now is the time to purify it, to buildup your s\ stem and fit yourself for hard work, by using Dr. J. JI. McLean’s Strengthening Cor dial and Blood Purifier. For sale by all druggist. Au Old Receipt on General Toenibs.
