sickness has prevailed throughout the U. S.
in greater degree for the last year, than il
has probably for 90 years before consequently
us victims IN the higher classes of society must

We notice and feel the death Of great man

during his life he has occupied more OF the

We have published in this days paper the
bill OF mortality for the last year, and OF few
preceding years. It will beaven that the
number Of deaths has been gleater than for
any year since i8l3-being lag. We think
we may estimate the population Of this place
at about 5000. il mol having increased very
much, we apprehend, since the last census, in
consequence Of the check given to population
by the commercial embarrassmen,s and the
great depreciation Of real property. If this,
estimate IS correct, il will be perceived by .
comparison with other countries, that an I'M
usual degree Of good health has been enjoyed
in this town during The year. The propori ion
Of the deaths to population, is nearly as ! g
81. Ia Norway, the ersge deaths 10 the
whole population is as to 49. In Sweden.
for the 20 years ending 1895, as to 81. IN
Russia, in 1893 as ! 10 81. In Holland, as
to So. In England as l 10 40 Though in
the agricultural part Of the country, il is as low
as to As, or 48. The mortality of London.
according 10 DIR. Price, when be made bis cal
cula,ion, was as ! TO 90 81, in Manchester,
TO 20, and IN Liverpool ! 10 q 12 Thus
II will be seen that The proportion OF DEATHS
TO population is remarkably low in this town.
We should be glad to make a calculation
still more minute, founded on the marriages
and births, but we have not been able to OBJ
tain correct returns Of them.
