![This table exhibits a large number of farmers. As a matter of course this could not be otherwise, from the situation of the institu¬ tion in a rural district, surrounded on all sides by a farming popula¬ tion, but still the ratio of insane farmers to the entire farming popu¬ lation, shows that farming is the most healthful of all occupations. Of the mechanical trades, carpenters and shoemakers contribute the largest number of patients—the one from exposure to accidents, the other from sedentary pursuits. To judge with accuracy which of all the occupations is the most healthful, the ratio between the num¬ ber following any given business and the whole population, must be considered. The civil condition of patients hitherto admitted is as follows : Married, ., Single, . .. Widows, . Widowers, 1,304 1,275 113 51 Total, 2,743 Nativity. New-York,. Ireland,.... Connecticut,. Massachusetts,.... England,. I Vermont,. Germany,. New Hampshire, . . Scotland.. / Canada, .. Rhode Island,. Pennsylvania,..... ! New Jersey,. Wrales,. Maine,. France,. Ohio,.
