\ statement OF the General Result Of the
Nensms IN NermonI.

Census in vermont.
An erroneous impression of the result
in this state of the census of 1890, not au-
thorized by anything given out by the
supervisor, was drawn from the pubhca-
ton of the population Of the larger towns,
IN many of which greater gains had been
made than III any previous census decade.
1t was announced IN some of the city
papers that Vermont had made substan-
tial increase in population The official
count will be likely to show the same pop
ulation in round thousands as in 1880
The gain in Burlington. Rutland Barre
Brattleboro and in the large towns and
villages generally, is offset by the loss in
the agricultural districts In no other
decade Of the census has the loss in the
farming towns been so great About 81
towns will show gain of population and
about lS4 towns loss OF the gaming
towns Addison county has three, Benning
ton county two, Caledonia county five,
Chittenden county five, Essex county eight.
Franklin county five, Grand Isle county
WV DlauEt touHtN bNo' l-hLlOlllt COUNTY
three, Orleans county FIVE Rutland county
seven. Washington county SIX Windham
county three, Windsor county two. Six
counties gain and eight counties lose, the
loss in one however, Orleans, Is so small
that it may possibly disappear in the
official count The gain is nearly all in
four counues-W Washington Rutland Chit
tenden and Essex-W ashington county
making the largest gam, and the others in
the order of the names. The counties suf-
fering the heaviest losses are Orange and
Windsor on the east side Of the mountains
and Addison and Bennington on the west
side Orange and Windsor counties each
lose from 1000 to 1000 The losses are al
most entirely in the agricultural districts,
there being hardly any large villages that
do not show at least small gain
