RECOVERY OF STOLEN MULE.-About
daylight on Saturday morning last, large and
athletic black man, with bare feet, giving his
name as Jackson stopped at the housa Of MIR.
Samuel Pullman, acros; Hunting Creek, and
offered to sell the bay mule he was riding. In
response to questions he said that himself and
another colored man with whom he had been
longboatng in partnership had separated, and
were selling their property. Mr.. Pullman sus-
pec,ipg something wrong, told hin he would
find him purchaser if he would call a, his
stand 10 the market. This he promised to 10,
but instead Of coming Oh to iowa, he turned
down the country. Alr. Pulman's suspicious
being then almost verified, he sent his neigh
Dor, MIR. Thomas Carra, armed with an empty
revolver, across the country to intercept him.
Mr.. Carral met him 10 the road near the house
OF MIR. Dennis Johnston, and after parlying
with him awhile, agreed to give him $50 Tor
the mule provided he would 90 into Mr.. John
ston's and sign receipt for the money. This
the thief refused to do. MIR. Carral then drew
his unloaded revolver and told him he would
take him and the mule too, but the thief jump
ed from the mules back and escaped into the
woods. MIR. Carral took the mule home, and
that evening read in the Gazette an advertise
ment Offering reward for its return to Capt.
Edenhart, of the canal boat John B. SIattcriy,
from whom it had been stolen, and upon It.
storing it to its owner received the reward.
The thief is still at large, but MIR. Carral is on
his track and thinks he will capture him.

These deaths compared with the number

follows:
Whites Colored. Total.
lS59-6O POS 81 239.
lS69.70 100 80 1919.
This is most favorable sanitary show ing In

population Of ll,206, and in 1869 10 there
were but 100 death in a. popula ion of Is, sill.
Even at the deaths rate Of 1860 Alexandria was
the most healthy city on the Atlantic slope ex-
cept St. Augustine. The death rate disclosed by
the present census is but one in sixty nine of
the population annually, while according to the
last tables in Boston it was one in Al ; New
York, one in 81; Baltimore, ore in &c; and
Charleston, one in IS.
1t appears from tho figures of the census
that during the year ending the LIST of last
June the Third Ward was the healthiest ward
in the city, and the Second Ward the least
healthy. The death rate in the First Ward
being one in 65; the Second Watd, one in

The favorable aspects of the iacts disclosed
by the census arc, considerable increase Of gen
eral population in number Of families and in
number of dwellings since 1850. The unfavor.
able facts are, decrease in the white popua
ton and want of proportionate increase IN
the number Of dwellings a., compared with the
number of families. From 1850 1860, while the
number increased but At, we built 566 new
dwellings,. showing that not only ACCOMMODATIONS,
in separate dwellings, for the Increased num-
Der OF families, but that neary one hundred
other families which had previously occupied
portions of DWELLING had become thrifty enough
to OCCUPY entire houses But 10 the past ten
years the incl tease in the plumber of families has
been 1,O5l, while dwellings have Increased ouy
100, and when one remem bers the character of
the greater portion of those 760 DWELLINGS ad.
ded since 1860. as compared with the 566 resi-
dences erected during the previous decade, the
small value Of the increase at once appears.
The census, however, makes far better shew-
ing than might have been expected Of city
whose back country was a desert, whose princl-
pal buildings and churches we're barracks, whose
port was blocksded, many Of whose citizens
were 10 exile, and whose limits were surround
cd by guards, which forbade ingress or egress
except under st1iogent regulations, during one
halt of the time over which the last census ex-
tends. 1t is indeed census OF how much OF
the prosperity lost during five years OF war has
been regained during FIVE years of partial peace,
and in this view we have every reason to be
satisfied with it.
We append a table of the population OF Alex
andria at each ceusus since the adoption of the
Constitution of the Upited States:

By this statement it will be seen that the
white females outnumber the white males by
sos; and the colored females exceed the colored
males by SIS; 80 that we have in the city |, 0Sl
more femaI. than males, an excess to be &C.
