In 1850 the returns gave 328,272; whence it appears that the number of annual deaths, after an interval of ten years, has been augmented by 69,549, that is, an increase of 21.51 per cent. In the same interval the total increase of the whole population, according to the census, has been 35.58 per cent. Thus the mortality has not increased in proportion to the increase of population. A feature worthy of mention is the small mortality in the new States of Minnesota and Oregon, and in Washington Territory. On examining the returns we find here the least mortality; but early explorations in this Territory had determined "the skiey influences" to be favorable, and the climate healthy. Beside, it appears a general characteristic of the pioneer States that the more hardy and enterprising class predominate among the first settlers; with a comparative absence of young and aged persons the deaths are less frequent. As immigration progresses, entire families with members of all ages become residents. The soil is broken by the plow, exposing vegetable matter to decomposition, and the deaths gradually occur in a greater ratio, as exhibited in the re turns of the census. Deaths in the United States, by Months and by Sex, 1860. The annual course of the sun through equinox and solstice brings on the vicissitudes of the seasons, with the attendant train of peric dic phenomena, among which is the varying distribution of mortality.
