The following is an abstract of the report
of the State Librarian to the General Assem-
bly, relating to the registration of births,
marriages, deaths, and divorces: '
BIRTHS. ‘
There were registered during the our end-
ing with December 3131, 1870, 13,1 6 births,
being 655 more than were registered in this
State in any year previous. However, the
ratio of births to the population was but as'
one to every 40.9. while in 1860, the number
of births being then 11873, it ‘was one to
every 38.7.
The proportion of births to the population
during the past year was: In the county of
Hartford, as 1 lo 41; New Haven, 1 to 34;
New London, 1 lo 46, Fairfield, 1 to 39;
Windham, 1 to 44; Lilchfield, 1 to 50; Mid-
dlesex, 1 to 47; Tollund, 1 to 39.

never been applied in similar operations in
this country. Sufficient progress has been
made to show that it is not only entirely
practicable, but safe and economical.
whole reef is to be honeycombed, and the
rock. removed just as coal is taken from a
mine. For this purpose a central shaft
about 40 feet in diameter has been sunk at
the water’s edge on the Long Island shore, in
the middle of the reef. This shaft has been
quarried out to a depth of33fcet below low
water mark. From this large open space 10 .
great tunnels have been started, which will
be advanced until the gradual increasin
depth of water will no longer permit a su -
elcutly thick roof to be left above, Good
progress has been made in all of these, the
longest having been driven 115 feet. The
object is to get out all the material possible,
so that when the roof falls in a uniform
depth of 25 feet at low water may be obtain--
ed. To this end seven circulartunnels, con-
centric with the open shaft, will be driven.
The first of these has been finished, and the
second and third are in progress. When
completed the mine will present the appear-
ance of a hall of columns, with a dome
shaped roof, about 25 feet high where it starts
from the shaft. It must not be forgotten that
the object of the tunnel is not simply for the
purpose of introducing powder to blow up
the roof, but to furnish a collar for the roof
to drop info. It is much cheaper to get the
grapple for it after the
