There were 348 Mongolian children under 17 years of age; making the grand total under 17 years, 9,093.
The number of children returned by the Census Marshal, in 1875, was 7,225 ; in 1874, 6,117 ; gain of white children in two years, 2,628 ; gain during the last year, 1,520.
Of the 8,745 children (white and black), 4,708 were native-born, both parents being natives of the United States ; 756 were native- born, with one parent of native birth; 2,890 were natives, with parents of foreign birth ; and 391 of foreign birth. The number of children between the ages of five and seventeen, who have attended public schools at some time during the year, was 3,712. The num- ber who attended private schools at the same time during the year, was 469. The number of children between five and seventeen, who had not attended any school, was 1,591. Of these a large number were between five and six years, and not admissable to the public schools ; six years being the age required for admission.
ASSESSMENT-ROLL FOR 1876-7.
Following is a recapitulation of the assessment-rolls of the different townships, for the year 1876-7. It shows a falling off of $2,945,- 741, from last year's assessment. This is partly due to the repeal of the tax on mortgages and solvent debts, which makes a difference of two or three millions, and has necessitated an increase of the rate of taxation for this year.
% According to City Assessor Dillon's estimate, the assessment of property in Oakland City is nearly three millions of dollars greater than last year ; but according to the books of Edwin Hunt, late Assessor of Oakland Township, the amount is some three millions less than last year. Mr. A. G. Lawrie, searcher of records, has made a careful examination of the assessment-roll of Oakland Township, as made by Edwin Hunt, and finds that many lots, buildings and other assessable property do not appear thereon at all. The difference between Mr. Dillon's and Hunt's assessment is nearly ten million dollars, in Oakland City property :
