The population of tins town, al the commence
n,ent OF HE sickness, was abou, 1860; so that one
OF every tlIirty-One of the inhabitants have died.
OF the whole number of adults who have died.
II were males aud 80 females. OF the females,
seven died soon after confinement, making the
proportion of cases of this kind that have tefm
mated fatally, it is believed less than one fourth
The average age of these who have died is do and
two thirds years. 1t is probably not going beyond
truth 10 say, that two birds of our whole popua-
ton have, more or less severely, had the disease
Assuming this to he fact, about one IN twenty OF
those who have been sick have died. In some six
or eight cases those who have died were sick from
four to six or eight weeks but in most cases that
terminated fatally the persons were sick only from
-four to six days. There have been many cases OF
severe sickness, in which speedy and perfect re-
covcry h as been effected but IN many other ca
scs, patients have seemed 10 linger for long time
and the return TO health bas been exceeding
slow. The past has indeed been II memorable
winter hsre-one not TO be forgotten by tie living
but in the midst of all tho affections we have ex
perenced we have much cause for gratitude. We
have been surrounded with mercies, undeserved
Almost The undivided attention OF those III health
has been given to the sick The hand of syinpa-
thy aud kindness has been freely and fully extern
deG, aud hOne, 1t is believed, have suffered from
want of care. But one Of the greatest sources OF
consolation is the fact, that OF those who have died,
u majority have lett the evidence that they died
in the exercise Of faith in atoning blood that they
have left a word OF sorrow for one Of joy.
NC hope that with the return OF warm weather it
will entirely disappear.
Respectfully yours, .. NENCOMB.
