STATISTICS OF BIRTHS AND DEATHS
We are indebted to ]. NJ. Bickel, Esq,
Assessor Of the city district, for the fol.
lowing statistics Of the births mud deaths
during the year ending Dec. 81, 1860,
within his district: Bridesmaids, 3ls;
females, SEQ; total 83S. Eight colorctl
children arc included in this number.
Compared with the births in 1868, there
was an increase Of b over that year.
The deaths within the same district and
period were 92G; but owing to the nper.
Icct manner in which the records arc
kept, II is believed that tho number given
dcs not represent the entire mortality
within the city during that year. Mr..
BiCkcl thinks that eco would he nearer
the correct figures, judging from all the
information he could get by inquiry
and examination. Even the highest num-
her mentioned would exhibit condition
of hcalthlIulneSs not surpassed by any
city Of equal population in the country.
