By ®vards, the number that changzed their place of residence is as follows: First, second, 25 third, 328; fourth, 287; fifth, sixth, 369. THe numbers of those who have left the city fare: I°irst, 108; second, T0; third, 163; fourth, 103; fifth, 63; sixth, 105, The deaths in the various wards are: Wirst, 19; second, 13; third, 30; fourth, 14; fifth, 15; sixth, 23.

Those who left the city are rep- resented largely in people who left for Europe. There were several hun- drd in this group, but only a small percentage exercised the right of vott.
