DANIEL H DANA
Is an old, worthy and esteemed settler in this
district, and at present resides just on the
Sandusky side of the comfy line, within the
corporate limits of the interesting and grow
ing town of Green Springs. In 1884, when
one Nathaniel Adams, like "the lonely man
of the ocean," was the solitary white settler
within radius of several miles in and around
Green Springs, Mr.. Dana, with all the true
characteristic enterprise of ye olden pioneer,
first adopted the then uncultivated plains of
that wild region as his future home. With
the trihing variation ola few Indian clearings,
the entire district for eight miles square of re-
serve land was covered with wood, and moth
ing short of a wearisome season of toll and
perseverance, awaited the young conner if he
only possessed the nerve to "buckle to-" True,
there were a few isolated and forsaken rude
log huts, formerly the homes of Indians, but
these were not tenablo, hence Mr.. Dana's first
task was to construct hut, which he id,and
soon afterwards other residents came in and
did likewise. Some two years previous to
this the Indians had been removed, and in
their retreat had industriously endeayored to
destroy the famous sulphur spring by filing
it with huge logs and branches of timber. The
new comers, among whom Mr.. Dana figured
as kind of chief engineer, dubbed together,
employed their oxen, and wers successful in
removing much of the distractions. The
spring appearing to have been but little i'm
paired. Mr.. Dana was next anxious to learn
the precise properties of the water, and to
that end secured an analysis, resulting in the
full assurance that the water was possessed of
exceptional medicinal properties and verify
cure for numerous Affections to which the hu-
man constitution is subject. Parties soon be-
gan to visit it and derive such benefit as has
( now gained for it universal popularity. In
| 1887 Mr. Dana was appointed the first post
master of Green Springs by the Postmaster
General, Amos Kendall, (under Gen. jack

ed the responsibilities of the postmastership,
down TO the present-Robert Smith, Isaac
Keggey, Miss Mahala Meacham, and the pres
ent courteous and indefagitable incumbent,
Miss T. Bartlett. In his earliest days of set
tlement Mr.. Dana observing the necessity Of
a suitable store to meet the requirements Of
the increasing population, he opened a small
store, and for some time became a general
trader, in which he appears to have succeed

divers Chilled Plow is one of those
agricultural implements which commands
itself to farmer as soon as he examines it
and no wonder, for its many points of superb
ority are so pertinent that they at once COM
mend it. For lightress of draft, steadiness in
running, ease of management, and its dura-
biIity, enables it TO do more work and TO do
it better than any other plow yet introduced.
So far as economy is concerned, those who
know anything of the quality Of chilled met
al, should know that plow made thus would
outwear any plow made in the ordinary way
Even steel plow is not its equal for durabili-
ty. This admirable plow is only for sale by
Thompson & Co., where our farmers can al
ways see and inspect it. Besides, there have
been enough of them sold to farmers in this
vicinity, who will bear testimony 70 their
good qualities. tt

It is with pleasure that we notice a great
improvement at the north end of Front street,
between Mr.. Amsden's lumber yard and Mr..
Gusdorf's PORK warehouse, in the erection of
kind of bridge sidewalk over a small ravine
by the road side. A capital job has been made
of it, and it only now remains for the city to
widen the road at that point by filling up the
present somewhat dangerous cavity existing
without protection.

The Defiance Democrat mentions the fac
that Capt. Tyler Of the Fremont Messenger
weighs 45O pounds and has a corresponding
snoring capacity. At the convention at Col
umbus he stopped at the Exchange,and before
midnight that locality was deserted by every
body except the sweetly snoring Captain.
His victims declare they can stand an earth
quake or two, OF three hundred cannon, but
Tyler's snoring is entirely too much for COM
fort in this world. He would be good fellow
to sound the last trump when the world comes
to an end.
When Tyler was in the army he kept the
rebles standing "under arms" many night,
because his snoring sounded something like
distant reports of cannon, and at others, like a
train of army wagons crossing bridge.-Ot-
taloa County Reporter.
Kaufman of the Exchange is going to have
a sliding chamber made, which he can drop
into the bowels of the earth, at willard when
Tyler goes their again he means to drop him
down to the bottom, after be gets asleep, and
then slide the house over the pit. The only
fears he ontertaiDs is that the accumulation
of snores may produce an upheaval,and there
be nothing left of the house in the morning
but unrecognizable ruins. He thinks he will
risk it, however.
