BIRTHS.
The births during the year were 4911 against 4998 in 1891,
a decrease of 87. The excess of the births over the deaths,
however, was 1927; this is 212 more than last year. This
number 1927 should represent our natural increase of population,
but it is enormously discounted by emigration, which is constantly
going on and is not to any largo extent counterbalanced by
immigration.
