are most fatal. Estimating that out Of the ag-

II would appear FROM the tables that scarlet
fever is most severe in the central section. It
is set down as causing 40l deaths in the year,
against 256 in the northern, 20i in the eastern
and l67 in the city. But it is greatly to be
feared that these returns have been materially
falsited by errors among the rural population,
who are apt to class under the generic head of
scarlet fever many diseases Of seemingly
similar but totally distinct character. The
same remark will apply to the reported deaths
from dropsy. The tables say that 1,49G per-
sons died of dropsy in year in this State.
No such thing is the case; the persons in ques-
ton died of other diseases, which in their last
and fatal stage, superinduced dropsy as one
OF their concomitants.
We learn nothing new from the records of
deaths Of old age, unless 1t be that people do
not die Of this cause in the northern section
as often az in the eastern and central. Ofthe

Mr.. Wise working for Buchanan, eh? Per-
haps in return for this extraordinary generosi-
ty, Mr.. Buchanan will insist that Mr.. Wise
shall at least be the next Vice-President. Very
likely, too, Buchanan and Wise will be the
ticket. And Judge Douglas, it appears, fol-
lows the sagacious example of Gen. Cass. The
Judge does not intend to have his name pre-
sented as Presidential candidate at Cincin-
natl this heat He is right, and we are salts
fed that he is sincere in this resolution. He
sees, of course, what everybody else sees-that
as tAe father of the Nebraska bill, it would be
injudicious for him to stand for the Presidency
upon the merits of that movement, until the
practical experiment Of "squatter sovereignty"
in Kansas shall have been brought to def
slavery or no slavery. Judge Douglas, there
fore, must Of necessity wait till this fruit RI
pens Thus three at least of the candidates of
the last Democratic National Convention, to
witt Gen. Houston (turned Know Nothing),
Gen. Cass (who has had trial over the
course), and Judge Douglas young enough to
wait another term or two), will be out of the
way at Cincinnati. We shall next expect a
letter of declination from Mr.. Pierce and one
from Marcy, for the sake Of democratic har-
mony in New York.

it appears that In the city and in the eastern

per cent of the entire population die of co.,
