Ordinary Number of pivorees.

In looking over the list of divorces which have been granted in New Ha- ven county during the year of 1908. compiled for record in the office of the clerk of the superior court, it is seen that the past year has been an average one in respect to the number of decrees granted. the number being 152. Of these. SS we're granted for desertion of more than three years, 29 for intolerable cruelty, 15 for hab- itual intemperance, 15 for adultery. one for intemperance and cruelty, and one for desertion and intemperance.
 From this record it is apparent that New Haven is not as far gone on the divorce evil'' as some of our othet old New England cities.
