WhlIe the ioTegolng tguFeS are not exactly eNhilerating, they should not be depresSing; for they prove al least that we are not over crowded, and that we can face for many decades to come any normal increase of foreign and do. nestle immigration into our cities and rural districts without trepidauon.
 HERBERT W. BOWEN.
Putnam patriot., 1911-11-24

The highest rate of increase, 241 per cent, occurred during the decade from 1850 to 1860, The increase during each decade up to 1890 was much less rapid for the State than for the country AS a whole, but during the last two decades it has been slightly higher.
 In l790 Connecticut contained 23.6 per cent of the total population of New England, which was ,009, ,40S, but by 1910 1t had declined to IT per cent, the population of New England then being 6,552, ,6s1. From l790 to 1910 the popu- lation of New England increased more than six times while the population of Connecticut multiplied fewer than five times.
 Connecticut has IS cities, and only four of these have over 50,0o0 inhabi- tants:
 New Haven l83, ,605 Bridgeport l02, ,054 Hartford 9S,9l5 Waterbury 73,l4l
 The total land area of the State is 4,S20 square miles, and the average number of persons to the square mile is 23l.3. New Haven County has the highest density of any county, namely 559,3 persons per square mile, anu Tol- land County the lowest, namely 600.

Mail Car Service on >isset0n Line
Discontinued.

The postal authorities sent
orders from Washington last
week to discontinue the mail car
on the Sisseton line on the frs t
Of the month, but the people
from Wilmot and Sisseton
quickly got in touch with Repre-
sentative Burke, and the latter
got after the department and Sc
cured a suspension of the order
for thirty days, it is reported,
but up to the present time the
service has not been resumed.
and Clerk W. Gaynor, who had
the run, is off on thirty days
leave of absence. The postal de-
partment is inclined to be arbri
trary in its rulings, and 1t is
questionable whether the order
will stand or be resciuded, but to
those on the gronnd here there
is no doubt as to whether or not
the people on the branch are en-
titled to this facility in the
handling Of their mails.
