To find numerous inftances of longevity we 

 muft leave the widely extended commercial city, 

 where attention to the gain of riches occupies 

 the earlier attention of the fuperior clafs of in- 

 habitants, and too frequently, indolence and 

 luxury that of their latter days. Where plenty 

 of employment, though it furnifh abundance of 

 the comforts and conveniences of life, to the la- 

 bouring part of the people, and thereby is pre- 

 ventive pf many difeafes, yet fupplies alfo the 

 means of intemperance, which though flowly, 

 yet certainly, induces ficknefs. Accordingly we 

 find that, as our town has increafed, the pro- 

 portion of deaths, at ages above feventy has de- 

 creafed. During two periods of five years each 

 the number of deaths of perfons, above that age, 

 will appear from the following table.
