Mortality in the United States.

ACCORDING to the Census OF le5a. the number of
deaths IN The United States from June LIST. 40 to
June lst, 1850, was - 02%, OF whom 2G4, 6)l were
whites The total population at that time being -,
1871 $40, this is abou; and ourtcnths per. cent
The lowest mortality, perhaps, that has ever been
recorded in any civilized country. The tables show
that the United States is nearly twice as healthy
country as England, France Prussia, and more
than twice as healthy Austria and Russia. OF
the deaths for the period above mentioned, nearly
One-half occurred from cholera and various conta
giOus diseases. The number of cholerl victims was
81 SOC; of yellow fever, 7S5. OF diseases not con-
tagious, the most fatal class those of the resp
ratory organs TO which seventeen per cent, of
the total deaths were due; consumption and pneu-
mOnia being the most fatal varieties Nearly
eight per cent, of whom one-haf were children,
were from diseases of the brain. Five per cent of
the deaths were caused by dropsy, and 9027 by old
age. Ten per cent, of the deaths of fore On
birth, and five per cent; of these were Irish. There
was vast disproportion between the deaths from
from old age in the city and and the country, the
former being hardly onc-fourth of the latter. New
York, with population of over 100000, regis
tered 1850 deaths i'll the year, being at the rate
of one and half per cent, which may be assumed
"a the mortality Ofthe whole Union. In MasSa-
chusctts the mortality reached nearly two per cent.

DENY, who is, perhaps, the Oldest man in Kentucky:
He was ll9 years of age on the nth OF Septem-
Der, and as active many men OF 4o- lie works
daily upon a farm, and throughout his whole HE
he has been an early riser. he informed the writer
that he had never drank but cup of coffee and
that was in the year 1919. He served seven years
in the war of the Revolution, and wounded at
the siege of Savannah and at the battle Of Eutaw
Springs he was also present at tc battles of Cam
dem, Kings Mountain and Monks Corner. He
served under Col. Horny and Col Marion, and was
eve witness of the suffcrings and Col, Isaac
Hayne, Of South Carolina, an early victim OF the
Revolution. He is sprightly and active, and would
be taken at any time to be man OF middle age
He is strict member of the Baptist Church. and
rides six miles to every meeting of his Church. He
has four and five daughters, all living, the eld
est being in his seventy eighth and the youngest
in his ffv first year. Suchi brief sketch of this
aged soldier ana republican, who Is; perhaps, the on
" surviving soldier of Francis Marion, Sumpter and
Horny.
