An examination Of the report from
which the above statement. was made
shows that upwards of one half of the
tax in Saginaw Co., is upon the salt
manufactured therein, while the great or
part of the balance, as in all the other
counties, Is for duties assessed on LII
censes. sr..I. or
In view Of the fact that we have a
prohibitTy liquor law in tins State, it
may seem little surprising that more
tax is paid in nearly every county in
this district, Clinton, Gratiot, Midland
and Tuscola counties excepted, for LII.
cense to retail liquors than for the priv.
ilcge of retailing all other kinds of Mer.
ehandise combined. And while this is
true of the entire district it is also true
that double the amount of tax is paid
tor retailing liquors in the Upper PENN,
sula than in the lower. In the first in
stance the proportion is as 30 4, and
in the latter as to 4.-TuSeoIa Pioneer.

DR.. II. o. Edwards.

We are gratified to announce that
Dr. Edwards has returned to Lancas-
ter, after long absence, to engage in
his profession. We copy the following
high tribute to his professional skill
from the Hooking Sentinel. Some of
our readers will remember the recent
trightful accident by which DR.. Dalton,
of Logan, had his skull fractured and
several of his limbs broken:
1--WE are gratifed to be able to state
that DR.. Dalton continues to improve,
and is considered out of all danger
We doubt not, this gratifying condition
of the Doctor, is mainly owing to the
scientific skill, medical knowledge, ex-
periencc and care of DR.. Edwards, to
whom the many friends of DR.. Dalton,
owe debt Of gratitude which they
will not be slow in paying if opportu-
nifty offers. We cannot but envy any
community the citizenship of man
OF such skill, medical knowledge and
sound judgement as DR.. Edwards has
proven himself to be in the mango
ment of the complicated and dangerous
fractures, wounds and bruises which
jeopardized the life of DR.. Dalton for
some days after the terrible accident
which caused them happened. Among
the many Physicians who called to sec
DR.. Dalton, we believe there was not
one thought it hardly possible for him
to recover, yet under the blessing of
Providence and the care of DR.. Ed
wards, he passed all points of danger,
and bids fair to soon be able to 90
among his friends, an invalid through
the remainder of his days"

The Ohio Conference.

The Ohio Conference of the M. i.
Church, which met in this city on the
9th, adjourned on Monday night, the
14th, We attended several of the daily
sessions of this patriotic and devoted
body of Christian ministers, and from
what we have seen of Legislative bodies,
we think that Legislators might come
to this body to learn lessons of dignity,
of prompt and wise dispatch ofbusiness,
and of manly and unselfish discharge
of duty.
Weinvite the attention of our readers
to the resolutions adopted by this body
on the state Of the country, to be found
on our first page. They are exceeding
ly well-written, and breathe the gen
uine spirit of Christian sympathy for u
Christian cause and government, and
for our gallant and suffering soldiers,
and, are, besides, sufficiently to the
point on minor issues to leave no doubt
of their meaning nor of the position of
the Conference.
The case of the Rev. Mr. Given was
referred to o committee to be appointed
by the Presiding Elder of his district
which is the course indicated by the dis
cipline the church, and his character
was passed by. the Conference, subject
to the decision of the committee. This
leaves Mr.. Given for the present with
out any charge. The Conference total
ly disclaimed the issue which Mr.. Given
attempted to thrust upon it, viz: that
his political sentiments were the groud
of objection. The only ground on
which the Conference entertained his
case was that of unacccptability, no
charge being willing to accept his SER
vices.

DIR. Olds Stirring up Resistance to the
General Government. To Vote for Olds
Is to vote for CiSil War.
DR.. Olds, the man who was convict

of discouraging enlistments and oppo-
sing the government and for which he
was arrested and detained in Fort La
fayette, is again loose among the people
stirring up resistance to tho govern
mcnt. lie is now canvassing Fairfield
county for the Vallandigham ticket
In n speech delivered last week at
Dum's Grove, in Amanda township,and
also in speech delivered at New Sa-
lem, on last Friday evening, DR.. Olds
said in substance:
I'm all probability Vallandigham
will be elected Governor of Ohio, and,
if elected, Abraham Lincoln will try
to prevent his Inauguration. viii
you 60 with the militia to bring him
home? VoICEs-"We will" 1--WE
will!1 And if Abraham Lincoln at.
tcmpts to prevent his return, will you
bring Vallandigham home at the point
of the bayonct? Cries of 1--WE willw
"we will ri Is this the voice of the
people? Cries of ut is T. 'it is"1
We can prove, by the most respect
able and reliable men, that these were
nearly the exact words of DR.. Olds.
How much longer will the people
trust this disloyal dcmagogue? Can
not the honest people understand that
DIR Olds' chief desire is to have revenge
upon the Administration for his ar
rest, and that to obtain this he is work
ing day and night to array the State of
Ohio against the General Govern
ment?
Men Of Fairfield! ifyou have your
own interest and the interest of your
country at heart, trust him not. He
will urge you intorebellion and plunge
you into bloodshed and ruin, and then
desert you, like the notorious Fernan-
do Wood during the New York riots,
and the infamous Leadbetter during
the Holmes county insurrection.

was. wearing soldiers cap
They first knocked tho cap off, and
ana then knocked the boy down,
stamped his front teeth out, and
were only prevented from killing him
by the noble conduct of DR.. Yontz,
who got the boy out of the hands of
the wild beasts and assisted him to his
office. DR.. 'Yontz says he would have
been killed in ten minutes.
After the attack upon young Wiseman
tho rowdies saw on the opposite side of
the street, returned soldier, who had
Fbeen in Libby Prison and had lately ar
rived at home sick and emaciated.-
They rushed toward the soldier, shout

breeches," and would no doubt have
beaten him to death had he not lodged
them and made his escape by run
The only offence of these boys was
that one of them wore q soldiers cap,
and the other was q soldier. What

trust; and yet this same Silas II. Wright

April, 1861, proclaim the following

(the closing words of his proclamation
cannot appearing print, but must
be left to the imagination of the read
er) For this utterance the loyal cit
izens of Logan came near mobbing
him, and were only restrained by the
entreaties of his friends.
Now, sir, as much as | have seen
that was strange to nc; and as much
as l. have questioned the mysteries of
mans mentality for solution of its
