from the Annual Report Of Ed. :N1asfezd,
Commissioner el' Statistics. 80.
The fourth Annual Report Of the Conmis.
sioner Of statistics Of Oai2 hes been published.
From that document NC make the following
synopsis:
CLMArE.-In the year 1860, the corn crop
is probably the largest eyer grown in the State,
IN consequence e Of moderate rains, at seasona-
bic times, and the. absence Of unreasonable
frosts. The two facts, Of late froEts and
heavy rains, were the main causes Of the def
cient crops and want Of fiuit which was more
OF less felt for three or four years, between
1855 and 1860. In the last year the uniformity
Of climate seems to have returned.

It is seen TIM the ratio Of increase has con
stantly diminished.
The population Of Hamilton county is 21G,-

The colored population Of Ohio is SO, III.
CoRE.-Thero has been 4 steady Increase in
the average Of corn, until the land planted In
corn is now equal to tbs entire surtacc Of nine
counties, or one-tenth Of the entire land in
the Stats. # We divide the average, Is We
have the crops, into three equal periods; the

The increase Of corn planting, Is to sur,ace,
is not likely to 50 on much further, hecanse
the alluvial lands, on WHICH only Indian corn

and because much larger surface deyoled to
this object will be disproportionod to the need
Of other staples, and Of rotation in crops.

This comparison is more farorablc and en-
couraeing than we should expect, from the
fortunate result Of last years wheat harvest.
It seems that in the last period of three years,
Of wheat, more than in the previous similar
period, and maintained the same average per
acre; but We haye.not get. reached either the
quantity or average production Of 1850.

doubt that the cultivation Of buckwheat is

wheat. The best counties Tor hay were tho
same rs the best for whaat-iu the Northwest
ANNUAL PRoDucTs.-The increase of cattle
and horses is very rapid, chiefly on account
Of their easy transportation to market, aud
the high prices on the Atlantic. or cattle
not less than 10000 per aunum arc trans
ported to Eastern cities, while Of horses thou
has become, by this process, probably the
largest horse market in the country.
DISTRIBUTION OF LANps.-The Commission
er says: I cannot find that any separate ac-
connt Of improved and pnimproyed land was
taken prior to 1850, when the United States
tics. Now the 6epa1ate amounts are returned
by the Assessors. -: - :.

and 1860: ..,;

In the .. s Census OF ls6Q, brt little more
