HALIFAX, N. s., Dec. 10, 1857.
Statistics Of Nova Scotia-Popuiation- Education
Religious neutrality-suspicious. Value
of Real Estate and Personal Property-Com-
mgce and Fisheries Shipment of Maekerd to the
United States Coat-Enports and Exports To
and From the United States-C Comparative Trade
mith that Country aud the British Colonies.
AS statement Of the statistics Of Canada an
nually appears in the HERALD, and recently SINH
lar account Of the condition Of New Brunswick has
found place in its columns, trust those of Nova
Scotia, between which province and the United
States there is carried an extensive and
rapidly increasing trade, will not prove unaccepta-
BILE, particularly at the present moment, when its
fisheries and intercourse are the subjects Of dpo-
matte discussion between the government Of the
United States and that of Great Britain.
BY the census returns of the province that have
recently been published, it appears that the popua-
ton Of Nova Scotia, which in 1927 was 1873 ,S48-
including 80 900 in Cape Breton-has nearly doubled
within the last twenty-five years, and in 1851
amounted to 276l17 souls, of which SALTS formed
the population of Cape Breton the eastern section Of
the province OF this number 1901 were married
persons of both sexes constituting nearly onethird Of
the entire population. This large proportion of
married persons speaks much in favor OF the moral
and social condition OF the Inhabitants generally, and
Of their prosperous and happy state OF society.
The small difference between the number OF males
and females is peculiar feature in the statistics Of
Nova Scotia, and is accompanied with this remarka-
bic fact that the males except from the age Of TWEEN
ty to that of forty attain greater age than females
the relative numbers OF both sexes, over fifty years
of age being IA 1913 males and IA ,223 females. From
twenty to thirty years of age, the number Of males
was 20,277, and that Of females 22,386 from thirty
to forty the excess dminishes to 665 females and
l4,Gl5 males beyond which ages, the number Of
males again predomnates, till the age Of fifty years
and upwards, in nearly the same proportion as in
early life.
As but little land remains in the province to be
granted there is but trihing immigration into the
province which accounts for the small difference be-
tween the number Of males and females.
There are two hundred and thirty deaf and dumb,
and one hundred and thrty-six blind persons in No
va Scotia for whose instruction there is no public
institution, and who, with the exception OF very
few who may he sent to the United States by their
friends for an education must necessarily be grow
ing up or have already grown up, in ignorance and
deprived Of those advantages which are so widely
difflsed in that country.
Education, however, is well attended to in other
respects in Nova Scotia where there 1896 schools
attended by 81 1854 scholars. OF religious denomina-
