We propose i'll this article to con,
tinue still further such comparisons,
drawn from the registration reports
as will indicate the comparative
healthiness of the different counties
of the State. DR.. Charles L. Allen
of Middlebury, the compiler Of the
first report, says, that ''thOse dis
eases included under the class w.
NOTES may be considered q very
good standard by which to estimate
the hygeinic character ofany locality.
But to give most truly the hygeinic
character of any locality only the
first order of this class should be
taken, and from this, those diseases
to which the whole human race are
subject, and subject but once, should

Der of deaths in the whole State,
and in each county of the State dur
ing the first nine years of regisha
ton, from 1857 to 1865, by "those
diseases which depend mainly upon
atmospheric influences" They all
come under the class Zymotic; or
der Miasmatic, and under this order
include epidemic and endemic, and
exclude contagious diseases. The
second column of figures shows the
ratio of deaths by these diseases to
one thousand of the population for
each county and also for the whole
State,

This table shows results which
are almost surprising. Since we
must suppose that an induction GOV
erlng so many individuals and ex-
tended through a period of nine
years must approximate towards a
td'c OF comparative healthiness for
the several counties.
Setting aside Essex because Of
her imperfect returns, the range is
from twenty one in thousand in
Franklin, to forty eight in Wind
pam; difference of 229 per cent.
The counties whichsratc below the
average ol the State, and in their
order, are Franklin, Grand Isle,
Chittenden, Addison, Rutland and
Bennington, embracing all the coun
ties on the West side of the State
and these come in regular order

lovely hand, the bright eye, and es-
pecially in the glorious hair. Show
