We learn, ft "i't Dr. Robert Hunter's Med
ical Specialist, fo April, that during the first
quarter of* pr .cut year, the death from
consumption in t tis city have decreased thir
ty-One per cent., compared with the corres-.
ponding three muths of 1854. And, com
pared with the sable. quarter of la . st year, the
dimunition in deaths from consumption is
tWeniy-fice per cent. A similar decrease al
so marked the clOsing quarter of 1555. This
is oertainly very' gratifying."
It will be rernimGered that it is•now about
two years since Pr. R. Hunter, of New York,

wheat is,aplenclid, but the grass is yet thin.
Fruit was a great deal injured in the West.—
Peaches there will be none, but a very abun

State the Wheat is in good condition, though
