THE FIRST SALT BOILING IL OHIO

The first salt made in Ohio. as far as
we are informed, was manufactured BY
George Ewing. brother of the Hon Thos.
Ewing. The statement furnished by
Mr.. Ewing to gentleman of the east,
in 1874, is wanting III dates, but the dis
covery Of the brine must have taken
place in 1898 OF 1899, for i, is said to
have taken place soon after the whites
settled OH the north shore of the Ohio
river.
Mr.. Ewing had found a young Indian
in the woods of the Muskingum. who
was sick with the fever and ugue, and
had taken him TO his house where he was
cured.
The Indian as agrateful return for this
kindness, gave Mr.. Ewing a description
of a salt spring OH small creek which
enters into the Muskingum, not fur be-
low GAINESVILLE. These Adventures start
ed up the river with a few articles. and
after finding the spot, made bushel OF
salt each in about week At that time
salt could be had from the east Of the
mountains for the triliing sum of eight
dollars bushel, and la Dor was worth 25
cents day. A joint stock company was
formed on reception Of the glorious news
and from that day to this salt has been
made OH the spot. Until after the vic
tory OF Gen. Wayne at the Maumce rap

A fire broke out on Tuesday morning
the 10th inst, about s o'clock, in the
building belonging 10 Il. Rusk. on tie
east side of Michigan street. That bull
ding, which contained the dwellings Of
4. Rusk. T. Baker. and another family
the Office OF DIR. Brown. Tailor shop Of
w. l.. Brn:s, and Tin shop Of r. Rusk
was burned, also the Grocery and dwell

Barber and Tailor shop Of y. Kendall,
anil part Of Ike Dug s;ore Of II, B PcI-
shings. The balsnce Of the Drag store,
ana tAe Law Office cfC. T. Reeves, were
pulled down. which arrested the fire.
The morning wrs bitter cold, the mercu-
~ standing atl3 degrees below zero, and
a strong wiz, fortunately from the
west. Our citizens collected en- mass,
and worked with a good will. Ladies
and all. regardless Of weather, or condi-
tion, turned out and worked like fremen.
Most of the goods sc. were saved and
the insurance Of Baily & Westervelt,
will probably cover their losses. lis "a
hard time tho to be turned out of doors,
without vacant building in town, and
NO lumber to build any with. We I'M
aerstand the loss of Pershing and Rusk,
will be considerable. Three of the bull
ainss were owned by Pershins & Judge
Steele, on which there were no insurance.
and none on the building of Rusk. In
Guiding the buildings &C., we are in
formed chat the loss is over $4,000. We
hope the Town Council will take imme-
date steps in relation to chimneys,
stovepipes. &c, end see that they are
properly fixed in every building. If, as
We hope is true, the loosers BY the fire
are able to stand it, we rather think
it will eventually prove a benefit, By the
replacing the unsightly. (:ho' conveniently
ana commodious business houses.
The LATE FIRE.-We never saw ladies
work as ours did at the late fire. We
saw the wife Of one of our merchants
come running down. street. and finding
she had no apron on, she gathered up
her dress and carried out more drugs, and
glass ware than any man could Mrs.
Rhinehart it is said, did more work, and
and manifested more GOODNESS than any
man there. She stood upon the counteS
in Westervelts store, and handed down
goods from the shelves until the flames
burst through the side of the building
Another lady. the wife Of one of our mer-
chants, without gloves or bonnet, regard.
less of the bitter cold, continued to carry
goods until the buildings were either
burned or torn down. La fact, among all
the ladies, we.saw no one but what was
cool, regardless of everything except saw
ing property, and their capacious aprons
and dresses, ade "carryalls'' that saved
large quantities of goods that would have
otherwise been lost. BlComers would
have been in bad fix about that time.

The DEMOCRATIC REVIEW, for Deem
Der comes to us as usual, full of interes

tainly the cheapest paper in the Union.
1t contains nearly 100 pages of closely
printed matter. consisting of great va :
riety of articles from the very best wri
ters-neatly bound in paper, and prepar-
ed for binding into an elegant book of
nearly 1900 pages. Each number con-
tains portrait of some distinguished
democratic statesman, officer, or other
national character, with a short biogra
ply, making twelve in the course of the
year. Its political articles are all Of the
very highest tone, and its financial and
commercial reviews alone, are worth
double the cost of the whole. One sly
pence per week saved, will enable every
person to to take it, for it is published
at the low price of three dollars per
year. 1t should be in the hands of every
citizen, regardless Of politics. for it is
emphatically, a national paper. Long

Much injury. physical. anI mental. is

for their decision are we'll worthy. the
