panles of this country has brought 10 Ugh,
certain facts which are not expressed or
indicated by the census returns. In refer
ence to the North. or that portion o' the I'M
ion embraced northerlv Of the southern line
Of Virginia and Kentucky, il is shown that
the mortality Is considerably less than that
indicated BY the celebrated Carlisle tahles-
From ten years practical results, /, appears
that the morality among that class Of persons
who insure their lives within the region
named is less than per cent, viz : about "a
I in every 10000. In that section comprised
between 329 north latitude Ia few miles
south of Savannah and the southern line of
( Virginia and Kentucky, the mortality
among the same class Of people is TIA per
cent. or ll7d persons out Of every 10000.
Looking to the extreme Southern States, or
south Of lat. 80 :, the mortality is nearly
double that Of the Northern sccion-the
actual number Of deaths OF 10000 las insur-
ed being lS6. These calculations are
entirely exclusive Of the present year, which
has perhaps been more fatal IN the South
than any period since le30.-LoaisviHe
