The letters received usual, and placed in

which they were taken out Of the box by Of the
Post Office clerks, who charged us with the post
ages due, tiea them into parcel, and replaced
them preparatory to delivery. Merit morning thy
,cere rome H was at once clear that bold and dar-
ing robbery had been committed within the walls
of the Post Office, and under the very eyes of those
employed there. By special request we refrained
from taking any active part in discovering the per-
petrators of the robbery leaving the whole matter
in the hands of the Post Office Department. A
month has elapsed, and the Department is yet with
out any clue to the robbery. We, therefore, give
the public the following list Of the contents OF the

MORTALITY ~ PARIs.-From the tables Of NOR
tality for the first six months Of 1919, presented 20
the Academy Of Medicine by the Minister Of the
Interior il appears that in that period the deaths in
Paris amounted 70 80 ,274, Of which 1851 nearly
one-half, were from cholera. Out Of these 1857
deaths nearly 90l9, nearly two thirds, took place
In private houses. Seven thousand seven hundred
and forty were males, and 1897 females, which
proves that now, in 1882. the latter suffered
more than the former. As some parties may be i'm
cined 10 attribute this difference 10 the great
tahty OF the Salpetric, the Union Mtdcoie observes
that in the civil and military hospitals the deaths
were f9s males, and so females whilst in private
practice there we're 4,2i2 males, and Att females.
VI 70 the 81 deaths stated up TO the end Of June
900 the Iso in July, and the f53 in August shall
ma the number up TO the 18th instant 10 be 1920,
or nearly what il was in 1882, 1856. The only
dinercncc n, that in 1892 l2,47l, nearly three
fourths OF deaths, took place in month, March,
whlle on INC present occasion, the months Of April
May, and June, (psrticularly the last tvo.) have
been very fatal.
