Three weeks ago we published an ac-
Fount of the discovery of a salt spring In
Susquehanna county. Should the spring
prove as produciive ag 1s now expected it
will be a source of great convenicuce and
profit, not io the proprietors alone but to
‘ue whole county. As nay well be sup-
posed it 18 subject of much interest nere,
and excites 2 good deal ol conversation ; but
we have not yet been able to obtain such
full and satisfactory accounts with respect
“ait as we could wish, A gentleman from
‘Montrose mentioned to us that the sory
of the manner in which it was discovered
was this:— Three persons from the sale
of New-York came down to Mr. Brister’s
(for he thinks the spring is on his and not
on Mr. Beardslee’s’ land,) mentioned that
they had reason to believe there was a Salt
pring on his farm, aud if he would let
them come in on equal ghares with him,
they would endeavor to find it—He a-
greed to the proposaly and the dug in the
lace directed, (by the Indians wo former-
b inhabited the country, itis supposed) aad
were lucky enough to hit upon the rignt
spot. On diging thr
ee feet through a
loose made earth, the came to a well ve
or six feet deep. laid up with logs, and cov-
ered by large flat gtone---the whole had a

Susquehanna 1s certainly the best coun-

fléthent of Ohio. tis not believedy that
any country in that state, has settled more
rapidly than this—16 years ago, there was
neith a house nor road within ten miles of
the present seat of justice. At the late e-
