LONGEVITY.

of di6erent sections of this country has been the
subject of some remark, but probably not OF

fseorpia-no doubt an eXaggeration. Nllllams
in his History of Vermont after giving view
of the inhabitants of the different sections, I'M
der Is wears old, concludes from the result, that
the Middle and Northern States are most favo-
rable to longevity, and the Southern to rapldlty
of nroductiOn and increase. This however, Is
not true criterion, as it only indicates the in
crease Where the increase is equal the COM
narrative longevity may be inferred pretty near

Maine and New Hampshire, for example, Is
