Over Is, 600 persons died in Phila-
deiphia during the year 1873. Had
these been killed ia a single battle, or
fallen victims to one or sven score oil
disasters, the news would have shocked
less surely removed by death within q
twelvemOnth, and the contemplation
of the result should not be less impres.
sive than il they were called away in
battali0ns, and not one by one. or the
5000 and more, only 656 reached Ell
ghty yeers-nbout one In twenty-five.
on the heOctogensrians,t the women largely
outnum bered the men, standing 425 to
26l. The proportion OF the population
reaching ninety wastartlingly smaller.
The aggregate was Ill, fortytwo men
and sixty-nine women, and the larger
part died not far from ninty~five. Only
ten, nine women and one man, com.
pleted century, the oldest being q
woman, whose age was stated at 10Y
We find these figures in the Philadel-
phia Ledger, which reproduces them
from its obituary columns. There
may have been q few deaths Of old per
sons that did not get into the paper,
though its records are very complete,
and any deficiency iD this respect
may be balanced by an exaggeration of
the age Of some Of the alleged centen
arians. Taking the figures a. com plete
or making allowances, II we choose,
we can not avoid the conclusion that
the chances that any young or middle
aged person will reach over eighty are
quite poor Gin. GaZ.
