The Gettysburg &our and
of February 9th, says: We this week
record the death of John L. Burns,
knovin.abroad as the " Here of Get
tysburg," which took place on Sun
day morning last, in the 78th year of
his age. Several. years ago he had a
stroke of paralysis at Harrisburg,
which for some time disabled him
and partially impaired his mental
faculties. From this attack he bad
measureably recovered,apd for some
",oe tend been in excellent health.
On Tuesday of last week he was tak
en sick at the residence of Mr. Na
thaniel Hagerman. in Mountpleasant
township, and died onSunday twin
ing of pneumonia. His remains were
interred in Evergreen Cemetery on
Monday afternoon, the "Gettysburg
Zouaves" acting as a military escort.
Rev. Mr. Young, of the Methodist
church, conducte d the military ser
vices.
- Mr. Burns, we believe, was a na
tive of New Jersey, at least he came
to this county from that State many
years ago. In his earlier days he was
intemperate, but reformed, and for
many years not only abstained from
the use of all kinds of intoxicating
drinks, but was noted for his hostili
ty to the traffic in every form.
With many peculiarities and some
weaknesses, he had essentially a
strong mind, somewhat cultured by
general reading in earlier years. Pa
triotic in his impulses; he prided him
self much in his connection with the
• war of 1812, and at the breaking out
of'the rebellion, notwithstanding his
advanced age, sought admittance to
the military service. He / volunteered
under the tint three m onths' till, in
the company organized by.. Col. C. H.
Buehler., but was not accepted by the
mustering in officer, on account of
his age. He next tried to get- in the
PeniisylvaniaßeserveCorpsand went
to West Chester with the company
organiZed by
-Hon. Edward McPher
son, but was again rejected. Nothing
daunted, he went to Washington and
got into the wagon service for the
time. He was at home in Gettys
burg in 1863, and on the : first:of July,
as the First Corps marched to the
rear of the Theological Seminary to
the relief of Buford's cavalry, then
engaged with Lee's advance, Mr.
Burns seized his musket and joined
the Iron Brigade as it was going in
to action. He was disabled early in
the tight, receiving a ball through
the arm and another through' the
calf of _the leg, besides several other
minor wounds. Finding himself dis
abled and the First Corps in retreat,
the old man had presepce of mind to
appreciate the danger of being taken
for a "bushwhacker," ; being in cid-,
zen's clothes. He crawled some dis
tance from his gun, and when the,
rebs pone up he denied being in the
tigh,p,- and represented that he had
been to the country seeking for his
_ invalid wife, and was caught between
the two armies. This story he re
peated to a rebel officer who came up,
and the latter ordered him tobecared
7 for. He was carried to his residence
in town next day,- and his'wounds
dressed by a rebel surgeon. When
the rebs evacuated the town, Dr. C.
Horner attended Mr. Burns. He re
covered rapidly, and found himself
suddenly raised to world-wide noto
riety, being; "lionized" wherever be
went, and • his "heroism" celebrated
in song and story. His wife died a
few years ago, and htvleaves to) fam
ily.
Mr. Burns was idi t ndigent circum
stances, depending on daily labor for
support. After the battle, he receiv
ed frequent and generous gifts in
money, which he carefully husband
ed and finally invested Ina small
farm "in Mountpleasant township,
worth about $l,BOO. Congress, by
special act, ordered his name to be
enrolled on the Pension list. He al
so received from the State of Penn
sylvania a pension for services- in the
war 0(1812.
Mr. Burns made a will a few weeks
ago, in which he ordered $3OO to be
appropriated to the support of a child
of an adopted daughter, and gave the
balanee of his estate to the Methodist
Church of this pl4e. This latter be
qui_t, however, is invalidated by the
act of Assembly of 19:s7i, which pro
vides that no bequest to a religious
- society shall be valid unless made at
least one month prior to death. Mr.
Burns died within a month after ex
ecuting this will.
TIIE BIG GRAPEVINE.
History of the MammotA Vine of Saida
Batbara, Gillifornia.
The Santa Barbara Press says: We
are indebted to a friend for a very
interesting account of the Big Grape
vine, which, as will be seen by refer
ence to our report of real estate trans
act ionshas passed into the hands of a n
enterprising gentieman from Ohio.
lie has been fortunate enough to 'se
cure a fine tract of land surrounding
this noted Nine.
The account which we give below
is not only interesting, but in the
Matti is strictly accurate. The pro
duct of this wonderful Vine is quite
in keeping with its great • size. We
are very glad that the property has
pissed into the hands of an honorable
and intelligent American. It is more
or less embarrassing for strangers to
find themselves standing by this
'great prodigy, asking questions of
the owu - Or Who cannot speak a word
of English. The vine also needs n .
little care, and this it would not re
ceive at the hands of its former own
er. The account to which we refer,
and for which the writer will accept
our thanks, is as follows:
This estate has been in the posses
sion of the Dominguez family over
three-quarters of a century, being the
most noted place in Southern Califor
nia, attracting tourists from all parts
tf the globe. It was conveyed by
he city authorities of Santa• Barbara,
to Dono Marcella 'Felix de Dom
inguez, who has now •cotiVeyed it to
Mr. Server, of Canton, Ohio. Soon
after having made her will, she de
parted this life at the ripe age of 105
years, leaving 360 lineal descendants.
We quote from "Hyatt's Hand
Book of Grape Culture :" "Santa
Barbara Mammoth Vine—We '6ll
this the Mammoth, not so much on
account of the size of its fruits, its of
its vine, add of its prodigiously
prolific bearing properties." fie
then proceeds to say: "one of the
celebrities of Spanish California is'
the immense tlnd beautiful gravevine
now growing at the Montecito, two
ul three miles below S,anta Barbara.
%The planter of the vine was Dona
Atarcellina Eeliz Dominguez. of the
Orliest expedition to Sonora, before
1870."
This nowlamous vine, some sev
enty years since, was the riding-whip
of the Spanish lady, presented to her
by her lover, which, _after the ride,
\vas planted by her, and has dew de
‘se.loped into that grand momenta of
love, the largest and most famous
vine in the world.
Beside the old vine is an offspring,
only twelve yews old, fast approach
ing the dimenSions of the parent, and
fully as prolific. Under the genial
branches of this youthful vine is a'
large dancing floor, Where, according
to the customs of the Spaniards, on
the Sabbath days and Sabbath even-
Ings are performed the love dance 3
the new veneration of Spanish lads
and lasses in ! . .their fandangos, enll
vened by
.the voluptuous swells of
music and free drafts of Cumulus.
Cioqe by reposes the ancient riding
whi p,spread ng her venerable branch-
es over an area of more than 5,000
,A square feet of g,round,tutelar 'guardian
\
~ of the rancho, whose branches inter
twine with those of her offspring,
and those of a neighboring fig
tive,annually laden with blue figs.
These people truly have long had the
privilege (now pissed away) ofsitting
as well as dancing; under their own
o, • vine and' lig tree.
According to Hyatt, before the
death of the aged Dona, this vine
was made to produce more than any
known grape vine in Atnerlea, north
or south. Between 1850 and 1860 it
had been trailed over some eight •
yards in circumference, with a true
twelve inches in diameter, rising
I F
clear eight f t from the ground.
Smile yei4 it has borne oyer six
thousand b nchesbf ripe and sound
grapes, or ose on to eight thousand
pounds, and become the wonder, of
every resident or sojourner in this
part of California. And what is more,
for the last thirty years it has princi
pally maint4ined the old woman and
her, numerous family.
Professor 15111iman, when he visit
ed
It lest year, said he never heard
cif such an immense grapvine in any
other country. which tau saying a
great deal, as he has traveled much in
the south of Europe. Charles Loring
Brace, in his work of California, re
fers to this vine, having measured
it himself. To-day the trunk of the
vine in the thickest place measures
four feet four inches in circumference,
its branches being suported by fifty
two trellises, haVing f ora number of
years produced annually from five
to six tons, or from ten to twelve
thousand pounds of 'grapes. It is es
timated that during the last sixty
years its total yield approximates the
enormous product of half a million
pouuds of grapes, which at five cents
per pound, would amount to twenty
five thousand dollars.
Rev. Robertßentley,in his Thanks
giving sermon, delivered at the IM - -
ion Thanksgiving services, held in
the Santa Barbara , Congregational
Church, Nov. 30, 1871, thus refers to
this vine: "A nuncio from Rome,
who visited this piece not long - since,
and who in his observations and
readings had made die subject of
Ville. a specialty. asserted that the
gre,at grapevine in this vicinity is as
large again as the famous vine of
Fontainbleau. in France, larger than
any found among the villas in the
vicinity af Rome, and surpasses anyy .
of which Pliny gives record in his
history and travels." ,The ranchero,
on which this vine stands is situated ,
on Mon teeito Creek. and is watered
by a stream from the Hot Springs, a
mile distant. The land and sea view
is unsurpassed, the situation being
equi-distant from the Pacific on the
south and the Santa Inez mountains
on the north.
TEXAS CATTLE.
Production and' E7eet to Cheapen
Beef in the Eastern Slates.
We find in the last Agrieultura
Report an article on Texan cattle and
the effect which, their production has
had-to cheapen beef in the Eastern
States. More than half a century
ago,-,the Spanish authorities in Mex
ico made great efforts to secure immi
grants into Texas, and as a result of
their efforts, the coast region from
Sabine to the Rio Grapd, a rich 'and
fertile belt of land from thirty to
sixty miles goad , was settled by
,Spanish god American emigrants
who brought with them their native
breeds of xlittle. Under remarkably
favorable circumstances of climate
and pasturage, these amalgamated
ihto a common stock, combining in a
large degree the better points of the
constituent breeds. When the war
or Texan independence broke out.,
he owners of the cattle were driven
. .
off and the animals run wild, In
1848 the business of cattle raising In
this tract was resumed, and it receiv-
ed a great impetus during the late
war from the high demand for beef.
Some of the ranches owned •by these
cattle lords cast the possessions of Job
quite in the shade. The Santa Cab
rutas ranch, on the Santa Cabrutas
river, owned by Col. Richard King,
eni braces 42,000 acres of Land, stocked
with 65,000 (little, 10,000 horses, 7,0;30
sheep; and 8,000 goats. To manage
these flocks; 300 Mexican herdsmen
are constantly employed, and 1,000
saddle horses are kept In constant
requisition. Every year Col. King
brands 12,000 calves, and sells 10,000
fat matte. The proceeds he lays out
in stock.
There are two ways of disposing of
them. Along the coast the animals
are shipped in vessels to New Orleans
and other markets. Further up they
are driven up to Abilene, in Kansas,
and shipped by rail. Before the war
prices were very low. Stock cattle
only brought from $4 to $5 per head,
and beeves were only about wice as
much.• The price, however, has
been continually advancing. Last
fall a convention of stock-raisers was
held in Live Oak county, and the
following tariff of prices was fixed;
For first class animals, $lB per head ;
for second class, $l5, and for third
class,.sll.
• Since the stock business proved so
profitable on 'the eixist, people settled
on the uplands, where the range was
greater. One of those who have
made a great success in this region Vs'
Mr, John Hitson. Eighteen years
11,7,t) he was toiling in Rhoa county,
Tennessee, trying to clear a little
land for corn and wheat. Disgusted
with the prospect-of having to work
ail his life in order to get a place in
which to work, he sold his land and
with sixty cows and nine brood
mares, emigrated to Texas. lie now
owns 50,000 acres of land and as many
held of cattle.
The great depot for tha shipinenl
of these Texas cattle is the station o
Abilene, Kansas. Here are found
plenty of pasturage and water, and a
railroad ready to carry the stock di
rectly to market. Seine idea may be
obtained of the immensity of the
trade when we state that in 1810 the
shipments amounted to 125,000 head.
The Union Pacific Railroad has made
great efforts to attract this trade by
establishing a sirnilar depot at Scil uy
ler. twenty-tive miles west of Omaha,
filatby towering the rates of freight.
Although this Dint is two hundred
miles north of Abilene, nece ss itating
a drive of that length. yet the busi
ness t reached in _lg7o, 10,000 Texans
and over 9,000 Western cattle. All
of the Western roads running into
this Section have followed the policy
of offering special facilities for this
trade, and the- fact that such large
numbers have been shipped to Illi
nois to be fattened is a proof of its
extent.
The effect thus far has been to low
er the price of meat, and in some
sections of the east bitter complaint
is made. Producers declare that
they cannot *compete with the cheap
beef of the plains, inasmuch as their
climate necftsitates expensive build
' logs to protect stock from the severi
ty of the weather, and a supply of
food for five months irk the year,
whereas on the plains, the dry grass,
in the winter, is so much helper than
hay that cattle actually grow fat up
on it sooner than on green grass;
The inaportanm of obtaining a cheap
supply of meat is leading the atten
tion of the public more and more to
this fact in the \Vest, for without it,
at the present rate of advance, meat,
wouldsoon be scarce in our crowded
centers as in the old world, where
the working people only get it at
Christmas.
Dyspeptic Consumption.
This is a form of disease in which
the stomach sympathizes with the
lungs, and it is very hard to cure the
lungs when the stomach and the di
gestive organs are impaired. Peo

squillsand ipecac and paregoric and

in fact there is no form of lung dis

THE NATURAL BRIDGE.
Its Singular Grandeur—Daring Feral.
[From the New Yort Evening. Yoe:.)
It is a curious fact that the Natural
Bridge seems to possess more inter-
(tit for Eur(*mu than Amerimn trav
elers. The'former look upon this and
Niagara as the wonders of the - Wes-
tern Continent; and the most thor
ough examinations of the_Naturat
Bridge, and the most elaborate and
scientific accounts written of it have
been written by foreigners. The
quesiions that arrest them all, and
which science seems powerless to an•
aver, are—What is the origin of this
wonderful arch ? how, and by what
power was It produced ? Various
theories of volcanic upheaval and at
trition 'of water have been advanced,
brit these are all set aside is the re-
ifort of a French engineer of pre-emi
nent ability, sent bx the Comte de
Rochambeau, to exaMine and mats-
ure this world famous curiosity. In
his report, which is exceedingly in
teresting as well us thoroughly sci
entific, occurs this forcible sentence :
''The rocks being of a calcareous na
ture, exclude every ideaof a volcano,'
ivhieh. besides, cannot be reconciled
with the form of the bridge and its
adjacent parts. If be supposed
that it Is the effect ofa current of wa
ter, we must suppose, likewise, that
this current had the force to break
donln and carry to a great distance a
mass of five thousand cubic fathoms,
for there remains not the slightest
trace of such an operation." A fact
which must be noticed by the most
casual observer, is the entire itisepee
of rocks "confusedly hurled" around
or below the arch, which would wit
nesif to such a convOsion of nature.
The Frenchinan,ln conclusion, asserts
that the Natural Bridge is "the direct
work of the Creator • and in this
opinion he is supported by numerous
scientific men.
It seems useless to attempt a des
cription of the Natural Bridge, for no
words can give any adequate idea of
its singular grandeur. The most im
pressive view is obtained from below.
On the top, which is some sixty feet
highef than Niagara,, the feeling, but
for the fact of knowinwthat you stand
on one of the roost stupendous. works
of nature—would differ little' from
what is experienced at other grand
elevations. The Wide extended land-
wipe spread belbre you distracts the
attention, and the bridge is simply a
pact of it. But looking up from be
low we realize nothing save the arch
springing up into the sky, and tow
ering so far above us that the. huge
rocks on its summit seem like peb-
bles that a child might Wig, and the
giant evergreens that. sentinel its
edge like tufts of fairy moss. The
rugged grandeur of the bridge is more
striking by contrast with the loveli
ness of the surrounding scenery. The
fissure is about ninety feet wide.
From the surface of the water to the
summit of the bridge is about two
hundred and forty feet ; to the under
side of the arch about two hundred
feet. This, hoWever, is the measure
ment of only one side of the arch,
which is, not entirely perfect, the
mountain being higher on one side
than the other. Few persons have
courage enough to stand on the edge
of the summit and look over into the
abyss beneath. In the words of Jef
ferson, "You involuntarily fall. on
your hands and knees, creep to the
_parapet and cautiously look over."
Even this becomes in a moment un
endurable. Many of the trees on the
summit are twisted intomost curious
and fantastic shapes, probably by the
force of the wind, which here in win
ter must h e l d high carnival.
High up a the face of the rock,
tk l)
carved by h s own hand, is the name
of George Washington. Many at
tempts, have been made to 'reach the
summit by clinibing the sides of the
arch, but none have been succeasful.
The person who most nearly accom
plished this feat, the only one, I be
lieve, who has ever reached a point
higher than that where Washington
inscribed his name, was Mr. James
Piper, afterwards a member of the
Virginia Legislature, but at the time
of this adventure a student of Wash
ington College, Lexington. Years
ago, in some of the school reading
books,was found the account 0---_Wasii
ington's attempt to ascend the Natural
Bridge, and in connection with it, a
story of still more reckless daring,
the heroine of which was a lady,
Miss Randolph, a celebrated Virgin
ia belle. With a party of friends
she visited the Natural Bridge.
They reached the summit, but
few of them had courage to ap
proach the edge and look over into
the abyss below. From the.side of
the bridge had once grown a tree,
which wasbroken off in a storm, so
that now only the stump remained,
projecting over the abyss, with quite
a broad chasm between it and the
bridge. A gentleman of the party,
pointing to it, said that he did not be:
lieve there lived a person of sufficient
nerve to step out on that stump and
stand there. Scarcely had he uttered
the worth when Miss Randolph
sprang from the bridge to the stump,
where ona point so narrow that it
scarcely afforded a foothold, she stood
a moment suspended, as it seemed,
in Mid-air; then with another spring
returned to the bridge, and darephe
gentlemen to. do the tame. W are
told that in •the age of Chivalry
10544 knights. dared even greater dan
gers than this for the wikeortipair of
bright eyes, but nineteenth Century
prudence declined:
Besides the Natural Bridge, Vir
dinia boasts three great natural won
ers, either of which would, with
railroad facilties for reaching them,
becothe as celebrated and as popular
places of resort as Niagara or the
White mountains. Haw's Nest, on
the New river, nine miles from the
White Sulphur Springs, where there
is a perpendicular cliff of one thous
and feet above the river, declared by
Mite 'Martineau to have produced a
greater effect on her mind than Ni
agra itself; Weir's Cave, neiirStaun
ton, two thousand five hundred feet
beneath the earth, and hung with
sparkling stalactites ; and the Peaks
of Otter, a short distance south of the
Natural Bridge, spoken of by Jeffer
son as affording one of the grandest
views in our country. The summit
is !bur thousand two hundred and
sixty feet above the ocean level, and
the view frOm the east side embraces
the whole country to the shores of
the Atlantic: Equally wonderful and
interesting is the Natural' Tunnel,
through which-- a stream of water
passes under an arch of seventy feet
lo elevation, with twice that thick
ness of superincumbent earth.
Virginia has a. greater extent of
mountain country than any State

the hair where the follicles are de

decayed; but such as remain can be

growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it' clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma
tion of dandruff, which is often so un
cleanly and offensive. Free from thase
deleterious substances which 'mak ,
