 a@ The New Haven papers print with Q great deal of pride, q list of the old men in thatScity Father Goodwin has been several months preparing the table, and we presume 1t is very correct. 1t contains the names of one hlndred and sixty-fve men who are over seventy years of age, twenty-seven of whom are between eighty and ninety, and two are over ninety. Taking the population of that city ac. cording to the census of 1860, we find that i, contains one man to every two hundred and .thirty-eight inhabitants, who is over seventy years old, and one in thirteen hundred and fifty who is over eighty. Now let us compare this with the list that was prepared for us few weeks ago by Mir. Henry Bissell, and that con
 tained the names of seven ty-6ye meu who were over seventy, eighteen of whom were between eighty and ninety and two over ninety years o
 age. Taking our population by the same cen sus we find it shows the population of men over seventy ia Litch6eld to be one to every forty-two, and one to every one hundred and sixty is over eighty. As figures will not le,' it is plain that about six men reach ripe old age in Ltchfeld to every one in New Haven.
