m A CURIOUS SPRING,

There is a great natural curiosity in De'a-
ware county, Ohio. The manner Of discovery
is thus related. Sometime about the year
1878, two men by the names If Davis and
Richards, salt boilers by profession, commence
ed boring for salt water in the bed of the Sci
ota river near the place mentioned. After
having bored about 30 feet through solid
rock they came upon stream of white sui
pher water Of the strongest kind. The augur
with which they were boring suddenly sunk
something like two feet. which is probably the
depth of the strpam--but such was the press
ure Of water that the augur was forced up a.
gain and large weights had to be attached to
it to keep it in place and enable them to bore
further. They continued, however until they
got 400 feet below the sulpher stream, when
they struck upon salt waller. The augur was
about l-2 inches. in diameter. When they
took it out the jet of the sulphur water rose
up to the heighth of 20 feet above the surface
OF the river. In order TO obt ain access to the
salt water beneath: they procured a strong
copper pipe and attempted to inrcc it down to
the place where it was to be found. But when.
ever it reached the sulphur stream, such was
its force and pressure tina; the pipe was com.
pletelv flattened, so as entirely to prevent the
passage of water through it, All subsequent
attempts to insert pipe proved abortive, and
after prosecuting the work at intervals for
several years, the project was abandoned en-
trely. After enlarging the orifce made ty the
augur at the top, a wooden stock 30 feet ia
height was inserted--yet even at the top Of
this, such was the force of the stream that it
required the strength Of three men to put
plug in it. From this slock, pipe conveys
the water to spring house on one OF the bluff
banks OF the river. The stream has been run.
ming for % years. yet its strength and force
are un abated Those who have recently ex-
amined it, say it is capable Of throwing up
stream ten inches in diameter, from 80 to 30
feet high, and that water can be obtained 10
turn large mill.

the advertisement, and no mode of conveyance is
stated for the route in the advertisement it will be
considered as offering only for horseback convey
ance.
81. Since the passage of the act of March 3
la45, new description of bid has been received
1t specifies no mode of conveyance, but engagesto
carry the mail with certainty, celebrity, and secur-
ty, using the terms of the law. These bids are
called, from the manner in which they are desg-
mated on the books of the department, "stGr bids.
1t has been decided, after mature consideration,
that bid proposing specific mode ofconveyance
OF as high grade two-horse coach transports
ton is to be preferred to the star bid. The e1'
perlence Of the department enables il to ley down
the following rules, viz:
When the mail on the. route is not so large ss
to require two horse coach conveyance, star bid,
1t the lowest, will be preferred to the specific bid
%. When the mails are of such size and
weight as to render it necessary or expedient, IN
| reference to them alone, to provide two-hOrse
coach conveyance, the specific bid though the
highest, will be preferred to the star bid, to the
extent OF moderate difference in the compensa
ton In case the difference is not such as inter
1ere with the policy of the new law, which LOOKS
to reduction in the cost of transportation. tx
| ceptions, however, may be allowed where the stat
bid is made by the pres mt owner of the stock on
the route, and it is manifest that the reasons for
preferring the specific bid do not exist in his case
%. On routes of the highest class, where four.
horse coach or steamboat transportation is required
by the size aud importance of the mars tie prefer
ence for the specific bid will be- if necessary car
ricd to greater extent of difference than on tho
inferior coach routes subject however, to the ex'
ceptions above stated.
"a. A modification of bid, in any of its essen.
tial terms, is tantamouDt to a new bid, and cannot
be received, so as to interfere with regular compe
tltlon, after the last hour SET for receiving bids
