' in the weeks corresponding with last week was 979; but as
the deaths returned for lest week occurred in an increased
population, they should be compared with the average raised
in -proportion to the increase, namely, with 1,076. The result

MANCHESTER UNITY OF ODD FELLOWS (POUT',
LOhnox Disezicr).—Therual manual sheet of this district,
for the year 1868, has jest been reed. It appears that, out of
3,895 members, there were sick 772, who received sick Pay
amounting to 2,0451. 63 members died, besides 28 wives
and widows of members. A pithy table contains an account
of the sickness and mortality experienced daring the past
seven years ; and the total ehown to have been paid for lea-
ner funerals, and to widows and orphans, in that
time, is 29,9761. The ethernet is highly creditable
to the district, which Is in • flourishing state—having now
4,023 members (average age 36 yaws) and a surplus capital
of 33,524 L, of which about 2631. only belong. to the distros
fund. From all other funds members claim benefits as •
right, but this is intended to relieve extraordinary ores;
and, to increase the fund, on the 2ad and 3rd of August
the Odd Fellows of the metropolitan districts bold their
annual fire at the Crystal Pathos. On this occasion the
usual attractions Will be enhanced by • special
popular out-door entertainment, under the direction
of Mr. Neter Lee, the well-known manager. Madame
Pauline Violante, " the celebrated artatioatet on
the Atlantic wire," will pass over the great begin
during the time that the fountains are playing ; the Jamieson
family, the brothers SL Leon, and " the troweled Sam
Collins, the great delineator of Irish ehasacter," with various
other entertainers, will appear. A tent for dioxin will be
erected, and a double military band will be in attendance.
Arrangements have been made with the various railway com-
panies to run special trine co both days ; and what with
the fountains, the foot-recee, the cricket•matches, ant the
additional music, we doubt not the entertainments will prove
highly attractive, and leer • large surplus for the widows
and orphans in whose behalf they have been provided.
