This being an average of 35 a week. This aggregate includes many from New York, interred principally in Greenwood Cemetery, though nearly an equal number receive 'Permits' at this office to be carried out of the city to be interred elsewhere.
Thus it will be perceived that so far as the deaths in the city indicate the healthiness of its population, our citizens have cause of gratitude, and may congratulate themselves on the comparative healthfulness of their city. The ra- tio of deaths to population as compared with other cities is decidedly in our favor. Our present population is sup- posed to range between 80 and 85,000. The above sum- mary therefore shows less per ct. of deaths, than obtains in most other cities of the United States. To secure a continuance of this state of things, every avenue to the introduction of disease, as well as every source of domes- tic and local origin, should be sedulously watched over, and guarded against, by the vigilance, and wisdom, and forecast of the constituted conservators of the public health.
