 2nd order, Diseases of the Heart and organs of circtdatio:i, had 6 deaths, 

 which is 2 more than 1865 had. The 3rd ordor, Discanrs of the Lungs 

 and organs of respiration, had 7 deaths, while 1 8u J had only 2. No doubt 

 the low temperature, &c., of the present month will account for the

 average in its deaths, and 25 per cent, less than 1865 had. One was an 

 infant which only survived its premat^ire birth 13 days, the other 2 were 

 old men, aged respectively 78 and 81 years. 



The 5th, or Violent and Accidental cla^s of diseases, had little more than 

 half the average deaths, though 1865 had not any at all ; one was a boy 

 11 years old who died from the bite of a • ^H on his a-^m, while bathing 

 in a pond. He died in less than three hours not 'laving any medical 

 treatment. The other was a man of 46 thrown ouc of a cart, and the

In the first week the deaths were 10 ; in the second, 7 ; in thu-d, 10 ; in 

 the fourth, 8; in the last two days, 1. For any two consecutive days 

 the greatest number, 6, occurred on the 7th and 8th, when temperature 

 fell rapidly from the maximum of the month, accompanied by a rapid rise 

 in the barometer. Generally the deaths were more equally distributed 

 throughout the month than is usual. Last year exhibited a marked 

 contrast to the present, the deaths being first week, 14 ; second, 7 ; third, 

 10 ; fourth, 6 ; last two days none.
