hibiting the different parcels or tracts OF land
on said county lines with the proprietors
names, together with the value per acre, as
assessed by the district assessors, and equali-
zed by the County Board of Equalization.
Mr.. Ihrig, of Wayne, made the suggestion
to take the total amount of property in
the State and divide it by the number of
Counties. In this way, he insisted, a basis
would be established to rate the value of pro-
perty in each county.

$lo,s35, ,2a6; being an increase of nearly

ABEAUTIFUL ULINCIDENT.


We extract the following from letter to
the o. s. Journal, by JOHN GRErsER. Mr..
NICHOLSON. is ia fine singer" as we can full
ly testify, having heard him in the pulpit and
before crowded audience, hut we can scarce
ly imagine him discoursing "Blest ones at
Home" to party of half clad Camanches.
At McNeiss' creek we were met by war
party of twenty Camanches, with Shave Head
the principal Captain. They had been out
after the Utahs, but had not succeeded in
finding them, and were returning to their
lodges. must confess that have seen tRe
time when felt more confidence in my
friends than have with these red gentlen,e Il !;
yet we treated them with the greatest polite
ness, which they no doubt fully appreciated,
while they drank up our coffee, and devoured
our antelope, We also met on the Arkansas,
number of Kioways, with their wives and
children. Some Of the women were at work
dressing sheepkins and making, iariats, and
wishing to make their acquaintance, we took
seat among them; but they were too busy
they had no time to talk to us. Mr..
Nicholson, who is a fine singer, struck up
Methodist song, to the tune of the "Old Folks
at Home" and after listening momen. their
rude tools fell from their hands, the work was
stopped, and with eyes glictening and mouth
extended, they drank in the music, and sat
like statutes, until the song was ended
Bonito, n,uy bon,to, (good, very good,) said
they, as they resumed their work; and not
another word could we get out of them -
Verify. there is music in the "OM Folks at
Home"

WV. o. 1000.
A most remarkable document from the De-
mocratic County Committee of Essex Co.,
has just made its appearance. It alludes to
Cushing's letter which it says was made pub
lie for the purpose of defeating the Democrats
of Massachusetts, declares that their consti-
tutional and personal rights are as dear to
them as those of the other States of the
Union, nor will they quietly surrender them.
That the edict of Gushing is a shameless at
tempt to violate those principles which will
not be submitted to; and they denounce the
inprudence that would so utterly subvert the
sacred principles of Democracy to further the
petty intrigue of renegade to bis professed
principles, his country and his God. In con.
clusion ihey say tina: they are up to the oc-
casion, ask If there is an autocrat among us,
and urge Democrats to vote for the friends Of
State Reform, and thus manifest their utter
contempt for demagogues and traitors.

The premium crop of Ashland was equal to
52t bushels per acre. at the Statute Weight,
which is 60 lbs. per bu. The premium crop
of Perry was equal to 40l bushels, and the
premium crop of Athens to 46 bushels per
acre. We can easily see, therefore, how, on
suitable land, and high culture, crop of 40
bushels per acre may occasionally be raised;
but tits no common ,hing,ether in England or

When nothing Is said, feel it to be good to

the Quakers, in some Of their still meetings,
profess TO hold the most intimate union, not

WHEAT CULTURE m OHIO.

These crops were accurately ascertained; !;
that Of lS49, under the United States; that Of
1850 and 1851, by the State Assessors. One
il the worst crop in many years, that Of is49,)
and one, (that Of ls5o) the best; so that on
the whole the average Is fair one. The
crops Of is52'snd 1853; will not be far from
that Of s5l,--thst Is an average.
There IL nothing less understood, than
what is really an average crop of any staple
grain. We hear continually Of 70 and 80
bushels Of corn to the acre, as il that were
the common crop; and OF 40 bushels Of wheat
per acre in England, as il that were the COM
mon crop in that country; but in fact, it is no
such thing. An average crop for an entire
country, must include MI varieties Of soil, as
well as oil varieties of seasons. In some
seasons, the crop fails almost entirely; and
one kind Of soil will not produce half as much
as another.
We have looked over the Agricultural Re
port of the State Society, for the purpose o
ascertaining the general average of whea
production. In the first place, we looked a
the PREMIUM CROPS, which were as follows:
