The mortuary statistics of Stockton, for the last year, show that there were eleven deaths for each thousand of the population. This is said to be the standard of inevitable decay in the most healthy countries. During the year ending June 30th, 1872, the rate of mortality in Oakland was one to every 102 persons, which beats Stockton. During the last year there were 149 deaths registered here. The population of the part of the city embraced within the record cannot be less than 13,000. Most estimate it as more than this, so that we think that Oakland can justly lay claim to the distinction of being the most healthy city in California. [Oakland News.]
