OH1o.-We copy from Hunts Merchants
Magazine the following statements and figures
in reference to Ohio:
The State debt is 16,4O2, 095. A tax on
the taxable property of the State of two cents
on the dollar would more than pay the entire
debt in a single year. The entire debt of the
State, counties, and cities being only 30, OOO,-
900, if the people chose to double their tax
for three years, it would more than extinguish
the public debt of every description. Ohio is
a remarkably rich State. The statistics of its
property, finances, and taxable elements have
been obtained and recorded by the county and
of property in this State during a long series
of years. The following is a view of the value
of property in Ohio at different periods:

TT has been demonstrated to a certainty by fair and
l. thorough tests in our own town that the Lunar
Oil produces the best and cheapest light of any 9TH
er known Illuminating substance. One half pint OF
the oil will burn from IA to 16 hours, giving a light
about equal to six stearine candles and costing only
five cents, while six stearine candles would cost 10
cents, and burn out in about 8 hours, costing the
same as a half pint of Lunar Oil, and giving only
about one third the amount of light.

In thirty-two years the value Of property in
Ohio has increased fifteen fold, land in seven
years it has neaaly doubled. This proves that
the wealth of the State has increased much
faster than ISIS population result which is
always attendant on a rapid advance of arts
and manufactures, the tendency of which is to
create wealth from skilled labor, which is paid
for at much higher rates than that of common
labor.
