Mr.. Steele, of st. Joseph--Our county
has increased the aggregate assessment
over three and fourth times times. Our
chief source Of wealth is in agriculture and
and our farming lands are many of them
equal if not superior to any other in the
State. We have three large prairies of
superior excellence and fertility; but yet,
there are some two or three townships in
IL OF very inferior soil The county is
fractional; her townships On the south side
not being full. In the poorer townships,
valuations were necessarily low. Yet, with
all these drawbacks, we show an assess
ment averaging on all real estate, 6 to
IL dollars per acre. Improved farms on
the prairies assessed at from 90 to 40 dol.
per acre. Our assessment in 1851 was
high in consequence of the benefits antici-
lpated from the completion of the S. r. r.
but the results show that much of this rise
was fcticious. The amount of real estate
to be assessed has been reduced by the
loss of or mills of considerable value.
while that of our personal property is like
wise lessened by the removal from the
country of several large stocks of merchan-
disc. Our assessment, therefore, we con-
slider high. The law was uniformly com
piled with--oath taken in all cases.
Mr.. Mckinney, of Van Buren, said in
this country the aggregate valuation is in
creased more than three fold over that of
1851.
Supervisors made no particular rules or
basis to assess upon, but simply determine
ed TO carry out the law--to the letter.
which he thought the better way; no par
ticular rules of valuation can be invariably
carried out; circumstances make great
differences in the value of property, and
must I've weighed by the assessors, who
therefore should be left to the exercise of
their own judgement. Improved lands in
this country were assessed at an average of
IA dollars per acre, wild lands at from !.
to 8 dollars according 20 quality and stua-
ton. Near the village of Paw Paw and
Prairie Ronde they were assessed higher.
in some cases 90 to 25 dollars per
lcre.
The entire personal property of the coun-
y was assessed, not even excepting farm
Implements, bees, &c.
Horses valued at an average of 80 or
50 dollars; oxen rs dollars; sheep $1,75.
The law was fully and fairly complied

Mr.. Lewis Darrah appeared and tool
his seat as delegate from Monroe County
Mr.. Vandemark, of Washtenaw, stated
the aggregate valuation of this County tc
be increased nearly times over that OF
1851. Assessments were made with q
view to carry out the new law in spirit and
to the letter. But two or three towns fell
short of the proper valuation, which the
County Board equalized. In all townships
but one, efforts were made to procure all
sastements under oath-in that one the SUI
pervisor did not think it necessary to re-
quire this in all cases. Although no a.
greement was made to assess upon any
specific basis, the valuations throughout
the county were made with great uniform
ity.
Good work horses were valued as high
as $500 per pair, inferior less.
Oxen 500 and down.
Cows at from $40 to $50 each, and O.
yer.
Sheep, 2 to 10 dollars in focks; grades
of fine wool at 3 and upwards-no native
less than g dollars.
There are in the county 3 less Touring
mills than formerly, (lost by ire.)
The County Board of Equalization rails
ed the valuation of
Augusta, $4,000
Ann Arbor, township 10000
(city) $1,000
Statements generally given in under
oath, except in Dexter.
Mr.. Darrah, of Monroe, stated that the
aggregate ofthis county is increased near
ly four fold. What was once the better
part of this county along the shore of the
lake is by the recent rise of the water, rem
dered comparatively of little value. Land
there which once rated at to ssl5 per a.
ere, are from this cause in great part rem
dered comparatively valueless at present.
The law was complied with except in the
case of the Sd ward in the city of Monroe,
where the assessor being lawyer, took
upon himself to dispense with the law; the
Supervisors raised his valuation only 100
per cent, to get it nearly right The coun-
Iy has but few mills or factories. Real |

HARprR's PRrNrrYG EsrABLrsHMENr

HARPER's PRINTING ESTABLISHMENT
IN RUINs.-We clip the following des-
patch from a Cincinnati paper, under
date of New York, Dec. 10th, P. NJ:
The extensive publishing house ol
the Messrs. Harper Brothers is now on
fire. This establishment comprises
about seven buildings on Pearl and Cliff
streets, and will, it is feared, prove a
total loss. Some of the adjoining
houses are also on fire. The fire was
caused by the explosion of steam
boiler.
Second Dispatch.-The entire estab-
lishment of the Harper Brothers is
now in ruins. The fire broke out at a
quarter before one O'Clock this after
noon. The hands, some 600 in num-
Der, had Just returned from dinner, all
of whom, with the exception of two
girls, who were slightly injured, are
unhurt One girl jumped from the
third story window, and strange to say,
was not much hurt. Old Wallon's
house, blank book factory. and George
7. Coolridge q Brothers houses are
among the buildings destroyed. The
Mansion House and Franklin Street
Hotel are much burned.
The fire is still raging, but is appar-
emily under the control of the fremen.
The loss will exceed 100000, and
by some is estimated at 100000
The valuable stereotype plates of the
Harpers are understood to be safe in
the vaults.
