The eleventh annual report of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Hartford has been published. This institution began with only seven pupils but the whole number who have been educated at it is two hundred and twenty-seven, and of these about one half have left the asylum. These, with a few exceptions, have been raised from a state of the most complete ignorance and blankness of intellect to a good degree of intelligence and respectability, qualified to perform all the duties of citizen, and to procure a livelihood by their own industry. Five of those whose education has been completed have been employed as assistant teachers, either in the Hartford asylum or in similar institutions. Of the whole number admitted into the institution, thirty-eight are from Connecticut, one from Havana, and the rest from different states of the Union. One hundred and thirty pupils are now in the institution of which fifty-five are supported by the state of Massachusetts, twenty-two by Vermont, twelve by New Hampshire, and nine by Maine.
