VIZ W. shows an excess Of ten per cent. on
D,rt Of white males, while no such
%Strence exists among the colored race.
Tbi, inequality commences previous to

year v of existence, but after that, and until
;wsn,v. the females rather exceed the
males: between twenty and thirty, the
numbers are nearly equal; between thlr-
~ and sixty, the males are almost two to
one; and from sixty upwards, the varla-
ton is but triAing. The whole number
ofdeaths was 1888, rather more than hall

Of one year.-Boston Press d Post.

Destructive FIRE.-At quarter be-
fore one o'clock, yesterday morning, a
. fire broke out in the Iron boundary OF
Messrs Haskell & Turner, on Haverhill
street, in this city, and before its progress
could be arrested, destroyed the whole OF
that large collection of Stores, Machine
Shops and Stables on the Square between
Elaverhill and Beverly street, together
with five dwelling houses and large sta
bic and Machine Shop on the opposite
side OF Bever Y street, near the Catholic
Church on Endicou street.
Several dwelling houses were torn do wn
on the square, between Beverly and Pond
streets, 10 prevent the flames from spread
ing in that direction. The Catholic
Church, on Cooper street, was for long
lime in much danger, but we believe was
not materially injured.
The total loss by this fire, is estimated
a! about $4,000, Of which bat small
part was insured.
