Births and Deaths.

Yesterday Afternoon Commissioner
of the Revenue Turner completed the
records of the births aud deaths in the
city of Roanoke for the year ending
July /. The records show 2SS births
and 2S2 deaths. Although Commits
sioner Turner has been nntiring in
his efforts to get record of all the
births. yet large number of the col
ored people, and others, have refused
to give the necessary information,
and this record, therefore, must be
much smaller than the full reco' d
would be. The death record is small
in proportion TO our population.
