THE FIRsr rsAIr MADE IN OHIO.

THE FIRST SALT MADE IN OHIO.
HIt Is said that David Stevens, father of Elijah
Stevens, Esq, of this city, assisted in making
the first salt known to have been made in Ohie.
This was in the year 1900, near ChandlefsVllle,
in this county.-Elijah's grandfather came to
Marietta with the original settlers of that place."
Il GAINESVILLE Courier.
The above is incorrect as to the first salt made
in Ohio. In the Fall of 1874, in time Of the In
dian War, there was great scarcity OF salt here
abouts. 1t had previously been packed over the
mountains, and cost from So to Sl0 bushel.-
Griffin Greene, Esq, then living in Farmers Cas-
tie, Belpre, had heard a report from some one
who had been q prisoner among the Indians
that there were salt springs near where the town
of jackson now is Indians made SAT- tnere )
but no white man had ever been there, except as
prisoner; Daniel Boone, when prisoner, was
once there; and the location was only known in
q very general way, as on creek, (now known as
Salt Creelk,) that ran in certain direction into
the Scioto. Mr.. Greene Maj. Robt. Bradford and
Joel Oaks associated themselves together to
hunt for the springs They went down the Ohio
men from Belleville, Va, and landed at Lead
ing creek, q short distance below Pomeroyi ana
struck out through the woods to find the springs,
about forty miles distant, but they then knew
not how far. After several days search, they
struck ON q creek that lead in the right direc-
tion and following 1t down they were lead by
buffa 10 paths to the springs where fires not long
out showed that Indians had lately been at
work. With small kettle filled with brackish
water, they boiled out something like an ounce
of salt. This party then spent night and part
| OF Jne uuy IN uaklng all Ine SAT- tney COulu III
the time, and started with 1t home, highly
| elated.
And this was the first salt made by the white
settlers of Ohio,
They reached the Ohio River, and were barely
| in the middle of the river, when a party OF
| twenty Indians appeared on the ban in pursuit
of them. The escape was considered providen-
tial.
| Greene and his partners, Bradford and Oaks
sold the right of their discovery to John NichOl-
son, Of Philadelphia, for Sl,5OG, the purchaser
! expecting to buy the land of the Government
| when surveyed but so valuable was the land
considered, that 1t was not sold, but held till II
(six miles square) was ceded to the State ofOhio
| IN 1902.
In 1897, salt began to be made at these springs
| by individuals on their private account. 1t be-
gan to increase till the State obtained control
and in 1865, the manufacture was at the high
est-abOut 10000 bushels year, at from $3.50 tC
SO per bushel. They were known as the "SclotC
Salt Works" s."-Stronger salt water discovered In
the country, destroyed the business, which wa
wholly abandoned many years ago.

Columbus Journal.

Our appreciative contemporary, the
Colu mbus Journal, is showing much en-
terprise We sent it the STANDARD on
last Wednesday at half past eleven
o'clock, and on Thursday at half past
two we received the JoSrnal, contain
ing another fattering notice of the
STANDARD, and a liberal extract from
Random Thoughts. This shows that
the Journal reads the STANDARD among
the first of its exchanges. If it would
continue to copy from Random
Thoughts, it would much improve it.
The Journal says it has several clubs
in Jackson county, and over thirty sub
scribers at one of the Furnaces. Glad
to hear it. Aside from its free trade
toolery, it is one of the best papers in
the State. We now receive the daily
regularly on the day of publication.
P. S. Heard any news from that
Athens convention yet?

By THE EDITOR.

l have good deal to say, much more
than l have room TO say this week.
But these articles will be continued from
week to week,
| sstd last week that l believed that
there was much danger of losing this
Congressional District / believed it
then; | believe it now The Demo
Gratis believe they can carry the District.
The nomination of so able man as Mr..
Leete, does not increase our chances of
success. Aud the Democrats are act
ing very shrewdly 1T pretending that
they have 40 hopes Of success. That is
all for purpose. They desire us to
rely upon our majorities, and not work.
And some of our folks are green enough
to bite at this naked hook. The Col
umbus Journal talks very sensibly upon
this point, as follows:
awe have no time to waste In ornamental
work. Let us bend all our energies to calling out
the full strength in the doubtful districts. There
are many of these. Count the secure Democrat
ic cstronghods, and add the districts that may be
lost by "fooing," and the sum will be found. to
include majority of the Districts in the State oi
Ohio-ten to nine. There is nothing to be gain
ed by blinking this fact-eveTything to be gain
ed by looking 1t squarely in the face ut the out,
set, and making provision accordingly: IL VIII
be time enough TO boast, after victory"
That is true of this District. If we
look the facts squarely in the face, and
go to work with a will, we can carry
the District by 2, 800; if we sit dowr
and brag, the old fable of the race be-
tween the tortoise and the hare will b.
brought vividly before our minds.

The last Jackson, Ohio, Standard,
has a column OF "RandOm Thoughts"
about one A. II. Samson, who, the ed
itor says, appeared in that region about
fifteen years since, as q Democratic pol
itician, and after getting himself ap-
pointed Postmaster at Oak Hill, finally
disappeared to the great disgust of his
securities, who had to make good to
the Government quite an amount OF
postage stamps, sold by him for hisow
personal benefit His sudden appear
ance and exit reminds the editor OF the
Standard of "a meteor cleaning
through a segment of our atmosphere,
whatever that may be. We know some-
thing of that Samson-we do, and he
don't remind us of a meteor in the least,
but rather of a streak of dirt He APP
peared in a town OF Northern Ohio, in
which We were printing paper, some
time in the latter part Of the year 1861,
and hung out his shingle as a lawyer
but employed himself mainly in get
ting subscribers for Democratic papers
He slept, cooked, eat and carried on
his business in a little dingy back room
which the owner had been rash enough
TO rent to him without requiring ad'
vance payment We doubt whether he
changed his shirt once during the whole
time he remained in the place. Wher
about to leave the place, at his earnes
solicitation, we entrusted him with sun
dry newspaper accounts for collection
and hence had an interest in looking at
ter him little in future. We tount
him to be an excellent collectors bnt it
the way of paying money over to his
employer, he was not n success. Ii
fact, we never got red cont Of all the
accounts we left in his hands. He Fl
nally disappeared from that region, anc
nothing further was known ofhim uu
til his body was found in the Cuyahog
River, between Cleveland and Obi,
City, but whether he fell in or got il
by design, was never ascertained. Al
he had little sum of money in hi
pocket, however, the inference wa
that be had not been robbed and throw
