DEATHS.

DR.. Smith Townend, Health Off

for week ending May 10th, 81.
Number of deaths 90, white As !;
cOlored IS. Death rate per 1000
per annum: white 13 8; colored
26.2, Total population, 1877. 80
were under five years of age; Is
were under one year old, and Is
over 60 years. 16 of the deaths
occurred in hospitals and public in
stitutiOns. The deaths by classes
were as follows: Zymotic IL; Con-
stitutional p; Local SO; Develop
mental 10; Violence 3. The prin.
cipal causes of death were: Con-
sumption IL; DiarrhOel 1 Eripsipe-
las l ; Malarial Fever l, Pneumonia
Z; Congestion of the Luugs h,
Bronchitis z; Measles 1; Whooping
Cough 2; Meningitis 2; Cancers 5;

Births reported: % white males,
27 white females; g colOred males,
13 colored females. Marriages re-
ported: II white, 9 colored. Still
births reported: white, l colored.
The mortality returns this week
present a marked and gratifying
falling off in the number of deaths
throughout the District, the num-
Der being only 80 as compared with
129 for each of the two preceding
weeks. The fatalities from acute
lung diseases have decreased from
60 in the last week Of April to 81 in
the first week Of May, to % last
week and to Is only this week. The
number of deaths from brain, heart
aud kidney diseases in this and
former weeks, many of which have
evidently been snperinduced by the
epidemical Catarrhal Influenza,
should serve as a caution to every
one, especially persons advanced
in age, to guard against all expos
ure to dampnesS and sudden change
OF temperature.
