The deaths numbered I :! females and 5 males.
In Lower N'azareth the births were 21, ten males and ele.'en fe¬ males. Five males and five fe¬ males died In the same [leriod.
In ri)i>er Nuzareth there were .'!! children born. 22 males and 19 ft>males. Forty deaths were re¬ corded. 2r) being males and 15 fe- nialcs. The death rate in this dis¬ trict Is greatly augmented by the doiiths occurring at the County Home which Is situated In the district
Stockertown has had eight ar¬ rivals, r. male and 3 female. Three females died within the period.
For the entire district embrac¬ ing Nnzareth. lTpi>er and Lower Nnzareth townships and Stocker¬ town the births were 120. The deaths were 71. anumented as stated above by deaths at the Connty Home.
