5. We annex a table:
NUMBER or DEATHS

We do not believe in the existence of any law Of
nature by virtue Of which certain number Of peO-
pie are condemned to an untimey death for the sole
purpose of maintaining average, notwithstanding
that the above table furnishes number of curious
comparisons which might tempt to such an inference.
The following may 90 little way toward explaining
the seeming paradox:
In London, Vienna. and all the great capitals of
Europe, the largest number of deaths in ordinary
years, almost uniformly takes place in the Winter
quarter. In New-YOrk the highest mortality is in
the Summer quarter. Our Winters not less
severe than theirs. while our Summers are vastly
more fatal Indisputably impure air has something
TO do with more than half the deaths which take
place in cities Especially is this the case in New
York with its enormous tenement-house population.
II NAV be supposed that on the 1st of October there
were 600 individuals of weak constitution still with
us who would have died had they been subjected, in
the days of Summer, 10 such protracted term of
intensely hot weather as we had in July, 1868. We
began the month of October with no fever infec-
ton,r and in blessed freedom from every kind Of
epidemic disease, to be sure, but with larger pro-
portion than usual of our population ill-ftted to
endure the peculiar hardships of cold weather. The
consequence is that that the inmates of crowded
and ilI-ventilated tenements beginning to live
with their windows shut the bills of mortality are
swollen by the names of scores of the old and young
who bad in the Summer, as it were. only escaped
destruction by the skin of their teeth In the week
ending Oct. 80, when the first touch of Winter made
itself felt among u.s. there ass deaths to 4l5 the
week preceding, and 42l the week follow
ing. During the week ending Oct 81, 1868, the Sum-
mer quarter of which year very fatal, the num-
Der of deaths but $50 against 800 the preceding
week, and S36 the following one. In the week end
ing Nov. o. 1869, the mortality was 457, against 5S
for the corresponding week in 1868. A similar expa-
nation may be given Of the low mortality of year
following the prevalence Of an epidemic. The classes
most vulnerable have been decmated so that while
ia the operation of the unyelding laws Of health and
disease, King Death is not permitted to spare the
survivors he takes bis allotted victims from smaller
