Tenth Collection District.

We CLEAN from the Toledo Commercial
some interesting statements with regard to
the new 10th Collection District, composed
of the counties of Lucas, Wood, Henry, De-
fance, Paulding, Putnam, Fulton, Will
liams Ottawa, Sandusky, Erie, Huron, SEN
eca, and Crawford There are IL colIec-
tion districts in the State, of which this is
the largest in point of territory, and third
largest in point OF collections; the Cincin-
natl and Dayton districts being ahead.
The collections now aggregate about ST.
100000 per annum. There are at present
four distilerics in the district-Vocke &
Co., Napoleon; Woodward & Worthington,
Bellevue; Billstein & Co, Monroeville !;
and Henry Reilly, at Hessville. There are
three in the district not in operation-one
at Sandusky aud one at Tifin, closed for
lack of business, and one at Delphos, sus-
pended by the Collector for tortuous ways.
There are 45 recti6ers, and so wholesale
liquor dealers in the district. Sixteen
breweries, manufacturing the cooling lager
or invigorating ale, in the district, four OF
which are located in Toledo. Five firms
manufacture tobacco in the district-three
in Toledo, one ht Tifin, and one at Nor
walk-and these five pay sn aggregate tax
larger than any five manufacturers in any
one district west of New York. Fifteen
firms manufacture cigars four of which are
located in Toledo.-Fostoria Rerie,C.

Some time since the Dayton Journal had
the following paragraph in its editorial
columns:
Let the Commercial (Cincinuati) instruct its
Columbus correspondent to ask Governor
Hayes whether lie is in favor Of or against the
repeal of the Resumption Act. We guaraute
fair answer.
TO this the Cincinnati Commercial re-
piled;
That is fair. "B. J. L." will please ask Gov.
ernor Hayes whether he is in favor Of or
against the repeal of the Resumption act.
As soon IA the correspondent received
his instruction, he at once sought Governor
Hayes, and having found him, after the
usual salutations, he propounded the ques-
ton, to which Governor HAYES promptly
replied: at il very easily answered. Ger
tainly, am not in tduor of The repeal Of the
resumption dct, unless something is substi-
tuted that will more e6actuaiy bring about
specie payments as soon as the time pre-
scribed in that act"
Here we have plain, frank, and prac-
tical answer to a plain question, and in our
opinion the correct view to take of this
question,

Ancient NaMsnnnars.

AT the coming Centennial Newspaper
Exhibition at Philadelphia it has been de-
cided to display copies of antique journals
and other curiosities Of newspaper litera-
ture. To this interesting collection all per-
sons having ancient, quaint, or curious
specimens are invited to contribute; an
should the resp nse be as hearty and gen
eral as We hope to find it, this gathering Of
time worn publications will prove to be
not only leading trait of the Newspaper
Department, but also one OF the salient at
fractions of the Exhibition rs a whole. All
having the ability and The will to aid on
the project should transmit their consign-
ments without delay to the Pavilion of the
Centennial Newspaper Exhibition, Fair
mount Park, Philadelphia, addressed to
the care of Mr.. GEO. P. RowELL, who has
the matter in charge.
While on view, these exhibits will have
attached to them labels designating by
whom they are contributed, and all con-
sistent care will be taken to preserve them
rum u"iuaBO' AitcI tHe Close Oh the EX-
hibition they will ugain be at the service
OF their owners, or, in the absence of diff
ferent instructions, will be transferred to
some historical society or museum.
During the late war there were many
newspapers issued which illustrated the
straights in which their publishers found
themselves. Pink, blue, and yellow sheets,
wrapping paper, and many other substi-
tutes were pressed into the service. Speci.
mems OF these now possess curious interest.
The advantages to the public OF such y
gathering are manifest TO degree which
renders elucidation unnecessary, and the
opportunity to do a useful act is placed
within easy reach. A single copy OF some
senile sbroadsheet may not be OF much
worth to its proprietor, yet in conjunction
with Others II will make up a worthy COL
lection. Many people there are who, hav-
ing preserved such cnriosities for years,
can turn them TO little or no practical ac-
count, and il is not too much TO hope that
the response given will be hearty and gem
eral. Without loss to themselves, they
can materially benefit visitors TO the
Great Centennial Exhibition and apprecia.
bly, advance patriotic movement.

The lightning rod man has come, the

Some persotz seem to derive a peculiar
pleasure from dwelling upon the doleful
vicissitudes they have experienced, and
thereby reflect discredit on their Etith in
divine rule, (if indeed they possCss any.
Wherever they 90 their conversational
themes are the degencracy Of the people,
the stringency Of financial affairs, &c. II
is we'll enough to realize there are many
thorns surrounding the roses for whiehwt
eagerly extend our hands well enough 70
be prepared for storms on the clearest.day;
but methinks one all.wise Heavenly
Father designed us for cheerful creatures.
When we cannot say bright, pleasing
things to one another, which viii prove
beacon light, timely silence is golden.
Faith, Hope and Charity are the choicest
heart-trcasures. If we give them room ev.
erything locks fair to us. No, no; guess
I'll modify that little. OF course westill
find clouds on which we are compelled to
gaze, but o rainbow is visible beyond them.
Are you scantily supplied with this worll's
goods and your pecuniNry prospects grow
ing darker and darker, day by day? VOL,
your case is only a very common one, md
If you take careful inventory of your
mental and physical resources, and bow
your head and heart 10 the throne OF graop,
my word for it, you will soon shout to pOt-
erty, "Sic sempcr tyrOnaus."
We do not pray sufficiently; we rely too
much on our own strength hence so many
failures. Too many intellectual giants
flourish for brief season, then quietly and
sadly drift down the gulf oi Oblivion pow
erless, il seems, to vanquish the obstacles
which are fumiliartO every child of genins.
Why this? Simply because pride gained
too great AN nscendency over their hearts.
They forget, these great men, that it is to
God and not to themselves they are in
debted for all their talents, and mercDfullv

Now, If we will be II little bit meek and
willing at all times to acknowledge erudi-
tion, cannot we fll our lives with bliss, mi
nus spiritual favor? perceive no neccs-
sity for ever cherishing for one moment
unhappy thoughts.
Take the world as II is, with its smiles and
its sOTrnws
Its 1--we and It's friendship, its falsehood and
truth;
Its schemes that depend on the breath OF to-mo =
Its hopes that pass by like the dreams of our
youth.
Yet, oh! whilst the light of affection maY shine.
The heart in itself hath fountain uf bliss I!
In the worst there's some spark Of nature divine.
And thew;sest and best take the world as il is. >
