Valuation of Beal Estate in Ohio City : Property, ' Most of our readers are aware, that io 1839. a new valuation was made of the real estate of O. This takes place once in six years: and thus an opportunity is afforded ot comparing the value of property in different periods. The last appraisement, previous to this, took place in 1853, and. showed an immense advance in values. So, also, did that of 1847. This one of 1859, how. ever, shows only a comparatively small advance. There is un ad vance, but it is quite moderate. In some parts of the State, especially, the fast growing towns have really -fcllen off. It will be itistruclive to note the facts in this case, and the caucus of 1 hem. . .We lake our notes; from the county appraisements, which will be changed con eiderablr, as to each other, by the Boards of E-qualization, but are sufficiently near to illustrate the general change which has t ken place in the last ten years.

Aegregate ...$102,082,329 ' ft 03.9 1 9.224 Here are twenty -t wo of the Urges! towns in Ohio, in which property is at a stand still, show-ing-- a very small decrease. Of these towns, twelve, viz: Cincinnati,' Springfield,' Xenii, "Mi. Vernon,' Painesvlllcj Tronton, Toledo, Pomeroy,. Liancastcr, ujjion, I'ortsmouth, and Marietta, bare increased, but most of them a very small in crease. - On the other hand, fen towns, viz: Hamilton, Cleveland. Sandasky. Columbus,' S'c uberi-ville; Newark, Zanesville. Mansfield, CbilliCothe. and Akron, have dimisuhed in value. ' Upon this statement, one is inclined, at first, to look with astonishment; for the State, (the rural districts,) havi increased iu value; and these town which have diminished ar among the most valuabl tit the State, r Such, however?" ts'fbe'lfact, and we may well inquire into its causes. : i Tb general cause is tio(bbtedly tb two financial crises of 1854 and 1857.: Tbe jwrmer inr mediately followed tba specalativ. yer 1823; when that appraisement was made property was highest; tha last bad just brought about its fell effect, in the reduction, of prices, when-thi ap praisemt was made.- This vatuaiiont ihrreforei represents the lowest jxdnt at which; property is I kely lo be in many year. , NotwiiistaBduig this, it roust b regarded es rather extraordinary, tbat tb large towns should present such aa appearance of depression,-ia the- value of property Here, we must say, that ibe diaXribution cf Ra;i. road.l, ahich ja materially cftaaged inee -I8S3. has bad pa f wsll.iiinaeiice- cti ibis f jreso I Let us tile, (bf tsaspIe twj-cL-;; cf C . j 1. .Tb towns of Cleveland and Sandoiky hare dimiaiehed ia value, $3,300,000 - 3 ' 2. Cincinnati, Toledo and Dayton bare increased t3.500.00a. -K-'- 'a-.- 3. The towns ia the central ; part of tbe Sute have generally diminished in value. -' ' - ' On this state of facts, we remark, that in 1853 railroads bad done ail for Clevelscd and Sandusky ihey could 'do, and, to speak- parodoxically. more than they . could do properly. Cleveland then had the great Clrcinnati and New 'York Line, and tb Pittsburgh Line,' and was receiving from the interior all of the produce and passengers which the interior could furnish. Now, it is quite obvious, that lines made all along the lake, which should place Toledo on the same level, for transit line, carrying rroduce from the West, with Cleveland, that some diversion of business would be made to Toledo. So also of Sandusky. While no lines of railroad centered at Toledo, and Sandusky bad the benefit of tbe Mansfield and Mad River IJoes, a large part of the produce from the interior of Ohio went to Sandusky. Steamboats flocke J tKere for produce, and the town grew rapidly. Hence Sandusky has suffered a depreciation of forty per cent, in the value of property. In the meantime, we find that six years has doubled the value of property at -Toledo. When we lock now to the river towns, and Miami country, we find that railroads had not been arrested in 1853, nor that the new ones diverted business.; The very contrary was the fact. Since 1852, the -Ohio and Mississippi Railroad baa been made; the Cincinnati and Marietta, ar.d the completion at several . others. So far as the distribution of railroads affected property, tbe changes which took place between 1853 and 1859 were against Cleveland and Sandusky, and in favor of Cincinnati and Toledo. - We mention this as one obvious cause of these differences." But, a third cause, and in regard to Cleveland and Sanr irfukj. perbapd the most powerful, id the mintif inn nf tha Ksu Amn SniliAi!iAA.. great diminution of the wheat cron in those coun ties of Ohio whose produce was mainly deposited at Cleveland and Cincinnati. This diminution. since 1853, has been very, great; and so has that of many other agricultural products. ' As we have remarked, the value of farm lands hns dei cidedly in creased s,and stand in contrast with that of towns. We take some counties at random: ; 1853. 1859. " Per Acre. Per Acre.

On the other hand, the town property stands still. This proves that the deficiency of crops has had less influence on t.&e value of land, than some persons have suo posed. The fall, ia certain towns, is due mainly ta the competition or diversion ia railroAd busi ness. Jiauroad Record, f Fro in the Philadelidiia.

A prostitute had just closed bis eyes and mouth for the last time. The bed was innocent of linen of any kind, and - , was satorated with water. ' .The floor was inde-scribably filthy, and the walls dark with moislur . and filled with fungi.
