The Death Roll of the Week.

Inc grippe still continues fatal in Virginia
aud other States. A very marked feature now
is, that it is much less fatal in cities than in
the country, owing probably to the fact that
in the country the doctors are few, far apart
and not easily gotten, and many OF them have
been fairly worn out in attending the epidenl-
ic and are now themselves down. We give
some of the deaths in Virginia since our last ::
