ROscommon, which covers an area Of 640,-

area of the country. has now population
of only IL. 397. Nothing could be more ap-
palling than the depletion of its people since
the destructive tide of emigration set in.
Since the great famine time the population

ent Population and $1,000 added. Within
the 10 years 1SS1-91 the number has fallen
by 1858. When it is remembered what
class of the people is borne away by the
apparently endless flow Of emigration, ii is
not hard TO realize what Roseommon owes
TO the blessings OF Unionist Government.
The county is very Catholic. Taking the
population according to religious profess
sions we find that the Catholics. who num-
Der 96.4 of the entire population. suffered
decrease OF 1923 10 the 10 years; that the
Protestant Episcopalians fell from 4l37 In
1881 TO 3j43 IN 1891, while the PreSbyteriaus
added SO 10 their number, which now stands
al $50 for the entire county. The MethO-
dtsts suffered decrease OF 81. Marriages,
which are accepted as test Of pros perity,
do not thrive, as one might imagine, In
ROscomman. The number OF marriages
registered in the county during the decade
was but 1926, which Is equal to an average
annual rate of 80 per 1000 Of the popula-
lallOH. 10iS IS very low average. tfldt Tor
the whole OF Ireland being As per 1000.
With regard 10 the emigration statistics,
there is a curious hlunder E the summary re-
turn which Is supplied for convenience by
the Commissioners. II gives S6.057 as the
total number OF emigrants who have left
the county during the last 40 years. As
matter OF fact, that is the number for the
last 30 years. 1t would be over 100, 900 il the
returns FOR the other 10 years were added
on. We have noted with much satisfaction
in these census returns the marked improve
ment which has taken place all over the
country in the educational status OF the
people. aud Roscommon is no exception to
the rule. In 1884 only 50.4 per cent of the
population could read ana write. Last year
the percentage was found TO have risen to
63.2. La ike manner the percentage Of
illiterates from 35.7 10 26.3. With regard to
the kno wledge Of the Irish language pos
sessed by the people OF RoscommoB, it
seems that 80 persons can speak Irish only,
while as many 2l,474 speak both Irish and
English.

was under orders to leave for the scene of q
