The state of Pennsylvania, according

record as the state with the second larg
est population. Pennsylvania's popu
lation in 1H'.H) was .r,2os,014, a gain of
1175,12:5 over that of 1SH0. The returns
from cities that have thus far come to
hand show a large increase, and ex
jierts say that the increase will reach a
million. This will bring the popula
tion to more than !t,2A0,000.
