How much We owe the noble horse,
We Just begin TO measure,
When Hippodemic puts a stop
To Travel, Trade, and Pleasure.
This Influenza interferes
With Death, as well as Marriage;
The funeral and the wedding train
Can scarcely get q carriage.
The railway car for once finds rest,
The pond'rous dray reposes,
Tie bus is housed, the cart uptilt,
While horses blow their noses.

Among the bill 8 pending I'm the legislature
which should be passed previous to the adjourn
nent Of that body, is one which provides for the
registration of births and deaths Theimportant
subject Of vital statistics has received too little
attention throughout the country. 1t h Of i'm
Iortance that correct details Of the population
should be ascertaiEed and registered in every
city Of the union. Private interests and public
policy are both m a terially affected by the cor
rectness or incorrectness of such statistics
Take the single question Of the increase Of
population, q sure indication Of national or local
prosperity. Where there is but small increase
it is an indication of something wrong. "A COM
plete registration would enable Law makers to
see the cause which produced 1t at once, and to
apply a remedv promptly, IL IL should be
matter which can be remedied by law. New
York city has walked up to the Importance OF
this subject but recently, and attempted TO
remedy the deficiency in her methods OF regis
trstion. One of the results of her system.
not yet perfect, was to bring to light in last
years statistics facts which demand serious
consideration. 1t has shown that the number
OF deaths in the city in 1871 26 952 while the
number of births was only q ,O52, an excess of
deaths over births of not less than $500; whereas
the difference ought, if the state of society
were healthy and normal, to have been, at the
least as great the other way. But this Is not all
OF those . G52 births, not less than .26S Of the
children were dead. This increases the deaths
actually TO % 10 and 1t diminishes the births to
2o.7si, showing balance against the population
of s,4S6. Already this exhibit has led to an in
quiry which will possibly result in a reform in
social ethics, and in the modes of living and con-
Quoting business, for all these involved i'm the
matter Of a decrease in births and an increase of
deaths. We merely mention this by way of illus
traton. To 90 into all the details of the benefits to
result from a correct registration of vital statis-
tics here and throughout the country would take
more space than we can devote to the matter,
but thinking men will be able to pursue the sub
ject through its various ramifieations from the
few hints here thrown out.

Itwould undoubtedly be a very hard case to

must be made in order to protect human life

up anewspaper nowadays without finding an ac-
count OF some such casualty, and the alarming
frequency of occurrences ofthat kind in the face

seem to justify the belief that at least some of
