CENSUS STATISTICS OF THE OHIO WHEAT BELT-P0Pt'-
LATIor, TOWNS AND GROWTH
From the Cincinnati Gazette, RsS III
Our fifth section Of Ohio 10 the " wheat belt"
We do not mean, Of course that wheat 10 not raised
ed well and largely all over the State; but this belt
or section includes the counties most remarkab BILE for
the growth Of wheat. They are the counties which
lie in what might be termed the north centre of the
State. Lying Immediately in the latitude of the
wheat disricl of Pennsylvania, they have received
their emigration chiefly from that State, and have
been cultivated much in the same manner. They
lie on rolling lands, mostly watered by the upper
tributaries OF the MuskIngum, viz: the Tuscara-
was, the Killbuck, the Mohcan, Owl Creek, the
Licking and in part by the Mahoning and its trbu-
taries. The fifteen counties, which we include in
this section, raised, in $780, six millions three hum
dred bushels of wheat, or tive fhs OF all raised in
the State, which contains 81 counties.
Their proportion of the wheat crop, therefore, is
treble that of any other section and entities them
to receive the cognomen of wheat belt, " in con-
adistncOn to any other species Of culture. AT the
same time, the attentive observer will NOT fail to
remark that this section alse includes the largest
proportion OF sheep, 50 that II s distinguished for
both articles.
In order to present the wheat culture in this Sec
ton, ana the vast agricultural resources of Ohio, in
a proper point of view, the reader may take the
following comparisons
Fret, these fifteen counties of Ohio raise more
wheallor did in lSi0) than any State Of the Ame-
r riean Union, except three, VIZ New York, Penn
nearly treble, all the wheat of New England.
Thirdly, it raises wheat than the entire South
eight States), lying south OF the Roanoke and tho
Tennessee rivers. In one word, this single sec.
ton would characterize Ohio, literally the land
of bread. But we hope, by the aggregate statistics
Of 1850 to establish this point more clearly, and
show Ohio TO be, beyond dispute, the land OF bread,
of wine, of cattls, Of sheep, and of everything
which results from the riches of nature, and the
! industry of man.
The fifteen counties, more Immediately in the
wheat belt, their population and growth, are as

II HE FAKIR AGAIN.

This wonderful necromancer assumes
Proteus-hke, as many shapes as charact-
ers We hear of his actually perform
ing the following experiment on an Egg
man.
whats the price of eggs asked the
Fakir of broad brlmned countryman.
Eight cents dozen, if you want a
single DOZEN
| only want one, says the Fakir,
will you take five cents for one.
Go away, Mr., don't bother me, !
want to sell my eggs
'rll give you FIVE cents for this one,
replies the Faklr, coolly picking up an
egg.
Well, if you're such a fool you may
take il.
The Fakr gave him five cents, took
out his knife and cracked the egg, and
out rolled ten or twelve half Eagles
Placing them in his pocket I'll take
another, says the Fakir, giving the man
another five cent piece.
Cracking the next, out rolled as many
more.
'IIl take all them eggs, says the
Fakir.
No you don't says the man, cover
ing his coat tail over the basket, and
making tracks away for home, in such
haste, that expert boys could have play
ed marbles on his coat tail, 1t stuck out
so short.
We have not heard the result, bu'
rather guess that if the country broker
opened his eggs, he did not find mucl
else than the yolk and white and shell.
We saw the Fakir drop dollar it
the bottom of the basket, SO that III,
cost that should ensue, would not fall OF
the Egg Dealer. Cincinnati Atlas.

DECISION IN FAVOR OF NEWSPAPER
PRoPRIEToRs--So Sound ldio.---On the
9Th inst, an important case was decld-
ed in the Court of Common Pleas of
Philadelphia. We note it, because such
we believe will be pronounced the law
in every State IN the Union Ii is cal
culated to protect newspaper publishers
from the various apologies so often given
when subscribers refuse or neglect to
pay for the paper. The suit was be-
tween Philip r. Freas v, Jacob Haas, to
recover the subscription price of the
Germantown Telegraph for flCeiUe years.
The paper was left at a public house IN
the vicinity of the defendants stall, in
Callowhll-st., (the defendant being a
butcher at the time,) at the express di-
rectlon of Mr. Haas, where it continued
to be left for the space of time stated
The defence was two lod-lst, the sta
tute of limitations and I'd, that the pa
per should have been left at the resld-
ence Of defendant, as il was known to
the plaintiff. The Judge charged the
jury, that where person subscribed for
paper, and gives directions where it
shall be left, he is bound 10 pay for it,
unless he limits the time for which it
shall be left.
l II a subscriber wishes TO discontinue
his paper, IT is his duty 10 square his
accounts, and then give notice for a dis
continuance. If paper is sent TO a
person through the Post Office, and he
takes IL ont, he is bound TO pay for it,
If subscriber changes his residence, i,
does not follow that the carrier must
take notice Of il, and a delivery of the
paper at the place where he was first dl-
recied to leave il, is a delivery 10 the
subscriber, unless the publisher receives
notice to discontinue, or send it to an
other place. The statute of limitations
did not effect the case, as the defendant
had paid something on account in June
1874. Verdict for plaintiff, S22 30
This decision covers all ground of trou-
BILE which so often arises, about the de-
livery Of papers to subscrIbers-who are
first to show that they have done their
duty.
