To Physicians.


The following circular is published at the
request of Hon. Robert l.. Porter, Superin-
tendent of the Census:
CExsys OFFICE, WASHINGTON, D. c.,
May l, 1889.
To the Medical Profession The various
medical associations and the medical profess
sion will be glad to learn that DR.. John S.
Billings. Surgeon L. S. Army, has consented
to take charge of the Report on the Mortality
and Vital Statistics Of the United States as
returned by the Eleventh Census.
As the United States has no system of
registration of vital statistics, such as is relied
upon BY other civilized nations for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining the actual movement of
population. our census affords the only oppor-
tunity Of obtaining near an approximate esti-
mate of the birth aud death rates of much
the larger part of the country, which is
entirely unprovided with any satisfactory
system of State and municipal registration.
In view of this, the Census Office, during
the month Of May this year, will issue to the
medical profession throughout the country
physicians Registers for the purpose of
obtaining more accurate returns of death than
it Is possible for the enumerators to make.
1t IS earnestly hoped that physicians in every
part of The country will cooperate with the
Census Office in this important work. The
record should be kept from June l, 1889,
to May 81, 1880. Nearly $4,000 of these
registration books we're filed up and returned
70 the office in 1880, and nearly all OF them
used for statistical purposes. Il is hoped
that double this number viii be obtained for
the Eleventh Census.
Physicians not receiving Registers can
obtain them by sending their names and
addresses To the Census Office, and. with the
Register, an official envelope which requires
no stamp viii be provided for their return 10
Washington.
If all medical aud surgical practitioners
throughout the country will lend their aid,
the mortality and vital statistics Of the
Eleventh Census will be more comprehensive
and complete than they have ever been.
Every physician should take personal pride
in having this report as full and accurate as
il IS possible 70 make 1t.
It IS hereby promised that all information
obtained through this source shall be held
strictly confidential.

The rain fall daring the storm of Friday,
the 31st ultimo, was the heaviest known for
many wears. Little Pipe Creek was higher
than ever known to be. The farmers along
the water courses suffered considerable loss.
Nearly all the cellars at this high point had
water in them, some to the depth of several
feet. The roads are washed in some places.
We had no mail at this point from 8 q. m.
Friday until 6 Il. m. Monday. The ADVOCATE,
which always reaches us Friday evening, did
not get her. until Monday. Messrs. Robert

afternoon, and then minus their teams, which
had been left on the other side of the Monoc-

Bundles of paper are still lodged in trees

which is crumbled down considerable, making
it impossible. All the bridges south of it
except at the old Clipper mill, were carried
away The trunk and about three feet of the
Rockdale dam breast was swept away and
part of the forebay. The damages are small
at Rockdale mill compared to Gunpowder

On Friday and Friday night last this section
was visited by the heaviest rain fall ever
known. From 10 o'clock in the morning till
2 at night the rain fell in torrents with but
little intermission. Long before night Big
Pipe Creek overaowed its banks and by night
fall it presented the appearance of rushing
river, though it did not reach the high water
mark of June, 1854, The damage is immense.
The meadows, which owing to the favorable
season, had more than usual growth of grass,
we're all overhown, thus rendering the hay
crop most difficult to secure, and after secured
almost worthless, fences were washed away,
cornfields washed, and in some instances
almost ruined. Much bottom land along the
creek had been plowed up and farmed to corn,
in some places nearly all the surface was
washed off as deep as plowed. Messrs. d. F.
Shriver Is Co.,, who own much land along the
creek, are the heaviest losers, their loss tC

The rain fall of last Friday and at night IS
said to be the heaviest ever known in this
vicinity. All the creeks overliowed their
banks, and fencing and other movable stuff
was carried off. Meadows will not pay to

The recent food of May 30th and a1st will
long be remembered here, The swollen
waters of all the streams here did considerable
damage In various localities. Morgan Run
never was higher and wider 1t twas about Is
feet high in the main channel, and from hill
to hill along the bottom levels. Fences were
washed away, and the corn, grain and grass
along its course were flooded. The county
roads were badly washed out, and in many
places past travelling with large teams.

In this vicinity corn fields, potato patches
gardens and roads were very much washed
and some wheat and rye was knocked dowr
so badly that it will be greatly injured.

The heavy rains of last week caused floods
and considerable damage. The water was
higher than during the July flood, 1868, and
the road from Viewpoints to Woodbiue was a
solid body of water. James Albaugh moved
ont Of his house as the water rose, and l.. 5.
Mercer moved part of his goods out also. S.
Mailman got his goods out, and put chains
around his house 10 keep it from floating

mill is between five and eight thousand dollars,
but it is being repaired. Howard Davis and
others came here from Mt AirS, but could
not cross ellis BALLS, but crossed the Patap-
SEQ into Howard, at great risk of their lives.
Woodbine was cut off entirely, and had the
services of physician been needed, none
could have been secured. The Baltimore Il

from Friday until Sunday, and no freight

OF the Nationalist party, as for instance IN Mr..
I. ID. Sullivan's paper there is not only
declaration that the Irish members should accept
a reasonable measure of justice TO Irish Catholics,
but it contains distinct snub to Mr.. Davltt
for endeavoring to induce the Irish members TO
act as irrecOnclabeS toward the proposal, treating
it "a mere red herring across the Home Rule
path.
Mr.. Burns shortly visits Australia 20 thank the
colonistS for the $4,000 pounds RENTED to the
strikers. He also intends delivering a course oil
public lectures. 1t is the common impression
that Mr. Burns desires to establish liberalization
of labor in the Colonies and Great Britain. lie
is doubtless much eated by his recent success,
and aspires to do more. But have already pointed
out how bad an instrument he must be for such
work Neither in England nor Austria ia does Social
ism find favor with labor leaders, and Mr..
Burns is especially obnoxious TO leading Trades
Unionists in England. 1t is shown at every
annual gathering Of the Trades Union Congress
that Socialism is in great disfavor in that body
The trades organized worllmen have always de-
clined to be led by MeSSrs Burns, Hyndman and
Champion, and any proposals, therefore, which
Mr.. Burns may formulate in Australia are un-
likely TO receive the Endorsement of the great
English labor cOmbination.
A rigid investigation has already been begun
of the system of the dock companies admnistra-
tion. IL is not easy suddenly to get
rid of influential and highly paid
servants, but the occupants of well-pad and easy
berths must expect early disturbance. Large
boards OF directors heavy stafs, many getting
from 500 to 800 pounds, luxurious luncheons-
these grievances that call for reform, and the
shareholders already demand overhauling Of
these blOts on the management.
Up to the present there is no sign of Mr.. Bar
NUNS appearing at Olympia, though we hear of
his sending forty agents and 200 tons of adver-
tisng matter. Mr.. Augustus Harris does not in
tend having his Covent Garden circus over
shadowed by the American Snowman. so he is
going to give the British public an opportunity of
seeing a lion on horseback. ck.-evidently one of the
docile sOrt,-Out of compliment to the British
animal. 1t is more interesting TO hear. If true,
that Mr. Harris has engaged Nine Patti for a
series of performances to begin next May and TO
extend at intervals over two years.
Little is to be said about the new play by
Messrs Sims and Petit London Day by Day"
II is one of the old-fashoned melodramas with
which the Adelphi Theatre has long been identi-
fed. We have East End DOCKS West End gam
