mortality of one death in every Gl5 Of the inhabi
tants, while onr report for the same week, showed
only one death in every G5 and that was the largest
bill of mortality (66) that We have had in this city
since the epidemic that followed the great fire in

orders to the amount of $50 900 in two days il
