DECORATION DAY.
Perrysbnrg's Tribate 60 the MemeTy
OF Her Fallen Heroes.
EXERCISES OF THE DAY.

The nlacrlty with which our citizens
turned out on Saturday, May Both, to strew
the graves Of the battles dead with
wreaths and boqucts made from the gems
Of Spring, was evidence that they censid-
cred the custom worthy Of perpetuation.
From all quarters, North, South, East and
West, comes the news that Decoration
Day was we'll and appropriately observed.
Notwithstanding the nations tears are
almost dried by time, nations heart has
not ceased TO beat for those who have
died for u.s."
Although the preparations for the OBJ
scrvance of the day were not commenced
until Tuesday evening previous, 1t proved
quite as successful in point of numbers
aud execution Of arrangements az any OBJ
Servance of the day yet held in this place.
Tere being no organization of the Grand
Army here to take initiatory steps in such
matters, the Good Templars at their regu-
lar meeting decided by an almost unani-
nous vote to observe the day. An advis-
ory committee of seven was appointed to
confer with our citizens and make arrange
ments, all Of which were completed in
due season. The citizens subscribed lib
orally TO defray the expenses, and credit is
due Mayor RnEINFRASK for his efficient
and active services in getting out the Fire
Department in uniform, providing for the
attendance of the Council and securing
the services OF the Perrysburg Brass Band.
Agreeable TO the programme published
last week, With a few minor exceptions,
the procession was formed at ~ P. VI. on
Louisiana avenue, tho right resting on
Second street. The Floral Committe, con-
sisting Of II little sirls dressed in white,
from 8 to 10 years of age, were under
charge OF Mrs LEWIS WILSON, Miss
BLOOMFIELD, Miss KNOLL. and Miss CAT
LARD, and each one was provided with
wreath and two boqucts in the Temperance
Hall, from where they were marched and
took their place in the procession, with
c. c TAYLOR at the head with flag.
This was the most pleasant feature Of the
procession.
The column was put ia motion by Mayor
RHEINFRASK, as officer of the day, and
II. X. CHARLES and TAoaAs WALTER
assistants, all three being mounted. The
bands alternaded in nfurnish:ngmusic during
the greater portion of the nnrch. Arriv-
ing at the Cemetery the greater portion Of
the procession halted under the shade trecs,
glad to seek shelter from the excessive
heat OF the sun, while the } loral Com
mittec proceeded to deposit d cir offerings
upon the little mounds which had been
marked here and there with small flags
Many citizens were in waiting at the Gem
etery, some Of whom had gone with tokens
of remembrance of departed friends and
deposited them upon their graves.

whose last resting place received attention
from the hands of the Floral Committee

LOSSES OF THE TOWNS.
New YoRY, May 2l.--A Northampton dis
patch says there are now in Mill river
valley 1000 destitute and homeless people
to feed and clothe-not for one day only, but
nntil their future is decided upon, and thew
must have at least 100000 for immediate
use. The women, as usual, exhibit
more fortitude than the men, and
instead of yielding to their sorrows, put
forth praiseworthey efforts to improve the
general condition. Yesterday morning l. SOC
men came from different places to
work in the valley, clearing away debris. and
were rewarded by the discovery of nine
bodies-fre unrecognizable from decemposi-
ton.
BOSTON, May 2l.-The special legislative
committee on the Mill river disaster OF Sat-
urday, took testimony to-day, in regard to
the town damages. From the Testimony
it was shown that Of 10 bridges nearly
new, all but one were swept away,
making a loss to Northampton Of $50, OO0
while the meadow land destroyed is valued
at 500, 900. Williamsburg reported that one
third of the village had been destroyed, in
yolving the loss of taxable property of $780,
900. Leeds reported a loss Of $100, 000,s and
Florence $4,000. These losses are inde-
pendent of any suffered by the people,. Rep
ofthe several towns asked that
they be released from taxation for a few
years. and that their bridges and roads be |
rebuilt, and they would take care of the |
people made poor by the disaster.

QUETELET's TABLES OF MORTALITY

WHAT THEY sHow-rHE SUPERIOR TENAC-.
Try OF. FEMALE LIFE-sTATURE AND NOR
TALLY.
In a recent memoir on mortality tables
compiled shortly before his own death, Que
telet, after reviewing all the earlier tables
of mortality compiled since the days OF
HALEY, for various countries of Europe, pro-
ceeded to the study of modern tables, in,
constructing which, as is well known, Que
telet took prominent part. His object was
to obtain view, not of the individual in
particular, but of humanity in it's general
ity. Men act as individuals; and two men
equally strong vie with other
with equal chances OF success
but, if we have hundred
thousand men, equally strong, and
battling with the same chances of success
against hundred thousand men of another
nation, and If the former be sustained by a
sort of unity which makes them act as a
single individual, and if the second have
not such a sentiment of affinity, we shall
Immediately see the difference in q very
marked manner. The tables OF mortality
represent many different. Dations, each ma
ton divided according to the ages and sexes
of the individuals. and wederive from them
trustworthy conclusions as to the inherent
vitality of the various members of the human
race. Only a few of the more striking and
interesting statements that may be deduced
from the figures given by Quetlet are here
years, out Of every 900 inhabitants, there
die, in the respective nations, the numbers
given in the first column of the following
table:

When we remember that there are born
annually more males than females, in the
proportion of los to 100; while on the aver
arge there are more adult females Than males,
it becomes evident that there must be a
greater tenacity of life peculiar to the female
constitution; a fact remarkably in accord
ance with the deductions of the Rev. Samuel
Haughton, as laid down in his Animal Me-
chanics, and one well borne out by the ia.
bles OF mortality, az is shown by the second
and third columns of the preceding table,
which give respectively the deaths of male
and female infants under five years Of age.
The tenacity incident to the female constitu-
ton is equally and perhaps more strongly
exhibited in the table showing the punaber of
persons in every 900 inhabitants who have
arrived at an advanced age; such, for instance,
that of IS years, which figures are produced
In columns and of the preceding table
By arranging the tables of mortality accord
ing to the stature, Quetelet has opened a
very interesting study; and he says that
comparison between the observed and the
calculated stature of the msn of France,
Belgium, United States and Italy, indicates
that we have already highly Trustworthy
statistics in reference to this point; although
he doubts whether there is as yet, sufficient
material to enable us to make a satisfactory
study of the connection between mortality
and stature. Meantime, in a general way,
he indicates the route to be followed in this
new study, and shows that we have reason
to suspect that the stature has decided
influence upon tbs rate OF mortality.

situated that no motion of the vessel is per-
ceptible to the occupants. The room has
been entirely refitted, only two of the berths
remain, and as these fold up into settees the
apartment will be used as a reception room.
The furniture is of walnut and consists oftwo
sofas, easy chairs, card tables, writing table,
liqueur rack. The walls are covered with
mirrors, the ceiling is snow white, relieved
with pink, and several statutes adorn the
angles of the room. Mr.. Sartoris and bride
