THE CENSUS OF WEST yIReINIA,

Mespubllshsthis mcrning the official re-
port of tho census of West Virginia, in ad.
vance of its publication at Washington, the
tables having been obtained by the Wheels
ing Registers correspondent, from Senator
Henry G Davis.
The total population CT the State is shown
to be 61s, 1877, which is an aggregate increase
over the population of 1870 of 176, 1873, or
SO per cent. in favor of the census of 1880.
A comparison of the population of the re.
speetivs counties in 1870 and 1880, shows
that the counties which have made the
largest gains are Braxton, Cabell, Calhoun.
Dsddridgc, Faystte, G~rceubrier, Hampshire,
Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson, Kanawha,
Lewis, Lincoln, Marion Marshall, Mason,
Preston, Putnam, Raleigh, Ritchie, Roane,
Tyler, Wayne, Wetzel and Wood.
All of the above nsmod counties have
added over three thousand to their pepuIa-
tion in the last decade.
Kanawha has made tho largest accession
to her population of any county in the State,
making an increase of 10, III. Ohio county
comes next, with an increase of S,626, and
Wood county next her increase being 5000.
The other counties not named above have,
With a few exceptions, added about {. 1000 to

WORTHY OF ATTENTION.,

In another column will be found a COM
municatiOn upen the subject of ''Land
Titles" which will be found to discuss a
subject to which little, if any, attention has
Hitherto been paid; but which would appear
to be of vast importance to the land holders
of our young and growing State. That our
State should possess in its archives at least
certified UOpiOs of the original titles to the
lands of its citizens, with their metes and
bounds, seems but reasonable, and we hope
our lawmakers will give tho mattc, IS
proper consideration at the comiuh %<.
of the State Legislature. "S
