decrease Of nearly fifty per cent lin the mortality Of
Saturday, compared with that Of the two preceding
days. The deaths for Thursday and Friday, when all
told fall but little if any thing short of hundred

This is indeed gratifying intelligence the the
heavy mortality of Friday led many to anticipate far

fair to judge the abatement Of the disease by the deaths
Of Saturday Twothirds Of those who died that day
were seized with the epidemic on Friday, and their
deaths should be charged to the mortality of that day
rather than to than of Saturday. Taking all this into
