~ We have been favored with an examination
of the Township Assessors returns, on file in the
Auditors ofIice,f for 1856 and 1857 and find an
hibit of the following factsi
Total value of personal property in Coun.
ty for 1857, exclusive of Incorporated
Companies, s593l72
Total value of personal property in Conn-
ty for 1856, exclusive of Incorporated
companies S542d9O

Total val of new structures erected in 1856.
(about) a22, 900
Total val of new structures erectedin 1865,
(aboutl $4,000
Gain, 5000
There is an increased valuation in all the Town
ships of the county excepting Perrysburg, Plain
and Troy and the decrease or reduction in those
Townships is over $4,000.
The greatest increase in valuation Of personal
property in any one township is in Perry, the next
greater Weston, and the next two Washington
and Henry The greatest increase of new struc-
lures is in Perry the next greater Weston and the
next three, Perrysburg, Plain and Washington.
Total number of bus of wheat raised in the
county in 1886, was 29,O93
Total number ofbus. of wheat raised in the
county in 1855, was 2O,99s
Gain, 8,O95
Totat number of bush of corn raised in
1856, was sos, ,6o4
Total number of bush of corn raised in
IS55, was 464, ,629
Gain 4l,065
The largest number of bushels of wheat raised
in any one township in 1856, was in Perry, the
next larger Weston, aad the next three Montgom-
ery Bloom and Freedom.
The largest number OF bushels of corn in any
one township was in Plain, the next larger Mont.
gomery, and the next two Center and Perry.
The largest crop of wheat raised by any one
person in the county was by Justice Stearns, the
next largest by Isaiah Bernard and the next two by
Thomas D. Stewart and John Norris all in Perry.
! The largest crop of corn raised by any one per-
son, was by George Williams of Center the next
largest by J. R. Rudolph of Middleton, and the
next two by John Van Blarcum and Joseph Mitch
ell of Liberty. The most singular and remarkable
feature in the comparative corn crop of Wood
! County is this fact that Plain Township in 1855
reported the fewast number of bushels raised oil
any township while in 1856 it produces the largest
amount of any Township i'll the county. This un-
doub,edly is attributed to drainage. The farmers
of that township have taken great pains to thor
oughly drain their lands and now those swamps
and marshy places which were generally looked up
on as waste placesare among the most productive
portions of our county Another fact is brought to
light by the above figures, to wit That the in
creased wealth of the county is found among the
farmers, principally in those sections Of the county
where the most bitches have been made. We have
not all Of the facts before us now, but propose to
resume this subject in future humber.

LIFE INsURANcE.--W take the following ex-
tract from long article in the New York Mir
ror' r-lative to the Manhattan Life Insurance
Company:
To every man with family and limited in
come, depending upon his individual efforts,
Life Insurance has become not merely a con
venience, but a positive necessity. So rapid has
been the growth and prosperity of these Insu-
rance Companies, that they are not only 10 be
found in every city of Europe and the United
States, but it is now difficult to meeta sagacious
young business man, having any relative depend
ing upon him for support, who has not effected
policy upon his life. Even the nominally
wealthy, who are engaged in a large business, do
not hesitate to antici pated reverSes of fortune
BY this humane system of securing their rea-
tives portion of the wealth which they are
permitted to enjoy on earth while professional
men, clerks mechanics and llborers, have rap
idly grown into the habit of laying aside a p0r-
tion of their earnings for their wives and chill
dren in the hour of bereavement and calamity
Some considerable enquiry among our young
friends and acquaiGtances whose income is like
y to be cut of by death, has satisfied Us that at
least two thirds Of this class are in position to
leave on their decease their young families if
not with a competence, at least beyond the
reach of positive want.

I3~ We have been reader Of the Ohio Slate
Journal for several years, and always supposed it
to be state orgaa-a reflector of the senti-
ments of its political party throughout the State.
During the past six months, however we have not
failed to observe that it has been conducted on en-
tirey different premises. A few weeks since we
took occasion to allude to this fact and expressed
our wish that it might not be so strictly partizan
on questions which divided its own party friends
The editor evidently thought US quite presumptu-
GUS in speaking as we did, and took occasion to
respond in tppant, braggadocio style, in which
he claims that the Ohio State Journal does not
assume to be the organ Of the Republican party
of the State. II this be true, why does Mr. Schouer
not change the name of his paper to Columbus or
Franklin County Journal We think, however
that the large body of Republicans who have been
misrepresanted by his unfair course, will demand
stronger reason for his course than he has vet Civ
en-, and if his policy is persisted in, and the Re
publican party finds itself without central organ
will they not claim, with proprety, that it is time
they had one? We have never charged the State
Journal with being other than Republican pa
per but we have felt that its course was anything
but advantageous to the Republican State organ.
