MARTINsBURG, according to pop
ulation, has fewer deaths, perhaps,
than any town in the country, and
the mortuary report of Green Hill
Cemetery, for the month of Novem-
Der, shows a large decrease in the
usual average, which has always
been small. During last month there
was but two interments in Green
Hill-and but one of those from
Martinsburg. For the past twenty
years the average interments for the
month of November has been seven.
AS there was considerable sickness,
especially among children, during
last month, the small death rate is
perhaps attributable to the skill and
attention of our physicians.
